Privacy & Policy
Who we are
Our website address is https://mathewbowyer.com. This is the official site for Mathew “Matt” Bowyer, where visitors can learn more about his story, schedule a call and order copies of his book Recalibrate. Links in the footer allow visitors to “Schedule a Call” or purchase the book
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Scheduling and contact forms (Go High Level).
When you schedule a call or contact us, the form is powered by Go High Level, a customer‑relationship‑management (CRM) tool. The form collects your name, email address and (where applicable) your phone number. We use this information to arrange the call, respond to your enquiry and follow up. The data you submit is stored in Go High Level and delivered to our email inbox. Go High Level’s privacy policy governs how they process and store the data; we encourage you to review their policy on their site.
Signed‑copy purchase.
If you order a signed copy of Recalibrate, the purchase form is also managed by Go High Level. We collect your name, email address and mailing address so we can process payment (via the payment gateway integrated with Go High Level), prepare your order and ship the book. Your data is stored in Go High Level and our email system. We will share your mailing address with our shipping provider solely for fulfilment of your order. We do not store full payment card details ourselves; those are processed by the payment gateway.
Comments (currently disabled).
At this time the site does not allow public comments. Should we enable comments, we will collect the data shown in the comments form as well as your IP address and browser user‑agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. After approval, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.
Media uploads.
If you upload images or documents (for example when contacting us), avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.
Analytics and log data.
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymized usage statistics. Our web server automatically logs IP addresses, browser type, time of visit and referring/exit pages. We use this information to improve the site and protect against abuse.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies to enhance user experience and support functionality:
-
Form and login cookies. When you submit a form or log in (if we introduce user accounts), we may set cookies to remember your details for convenience. Login cookies last for two days and screen‑option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login for two weeks.
-
Analytics cookies. We may set cookies through our analytics service to understand how visitors use the site. These cookies typically expire after a maximum of two years.
-
Third‑party cookies. Embedded content (videos, social‑media posts, etc.) may set their own cookies.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, although some site features may not work properly without them.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content such as YouTube videos, social‑media feeds (Instagram, X/Twitter, Threads) or news articles. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content if you are logged in to that service.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with:
-

Email service providers. Contact form submissions are delivered to our email inbox. We may also use email marketing services to send updates (you may opt out at any time).

Legal obligations. If required by law, court order or to protect our rights, we may disclose information to authorities.
