Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Lyons International ("we", "us", or "our") operates lyonsinternational.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a visitor.
We're a small operation — just Tom Lyons and an AI named Fred. We have no interest in collecting data we don't need. This policy reflects that.
1. What we collect
This website is a static portfolio site. We do not run a backend, process payments, or require you to create an account. We do not collect personal information directly through this site.
The only way personal information may be collected is if you:
- Contact us by email — we receive your email address and the content of your message.
- Subscribe to our Substack newsletter — Substack collects your email address and subscription data. Their privacy policy applies: substack.com/privacy.
- Interact with linked third-party platforms (Instagram, RealMarkAI, etc.) — each has its own privacy policy that governs data collected there.
2. Cookies and tracking
This site does not use cookies, analytics scripts, or tracking pixels. We do not use Google Analytics or any similar service. What you do on this page stays between you and your browser.
3. Third-party services
This site links to and embeds content from third-party platforms. Each operates under its own privacy policy:
- Substack — newsletter and journal platform (privacy policy)
- Instagram / Meta — social media (privacy policy)
- RealMarkAI — AI marketing tools (realmarkai.com)
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.
4. How we use your information
If you email us, we use your contact information only to respond to your message. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with anyone.
5. Data retention
Email correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry. We do not maintain a database of visitor or contact information.
6. Your rights
If you are located in Canada, the European Union, or another jurisdiction with applicable privacy laws, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email us at the address below.
7. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
