Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 17, 2026

This policy explains what personal information The Secret Operator ("we", "us", "I") collects through this website, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. This website is operated by Houssam Elbriki, an individual based in Kenitra, Morocco, doing business under the name The Secret Operator. The Secret Operator is a trade name, not a separate company. Houssam Elbriki is the person responsible for your personal information (the "data controller"). For any privacy question or request, contact houssam@thesecretoperator.com.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us.

• Partner application: first and last name, email address, your field or industry, a link to your public work (such as a social media profile or website), and your answers to screening questions (years of experience, who your program would serve, your availability, and whether you are willing to appear on camera).
• Program estimate request: your email address and the numbers you entered in the estimate calculator.
• Communications: anything you send us by email or message, and our replies.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, our hosting and website tools may record technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This may be collected through cookies or similar technologies (see section 7).

Public information. If you apply, we may review the public profile or website you link to, in order to evaluate your application and prepare your teardown.

We do not ask for, and ask you not to submit, sensitive information such as health data, government ID numbers, or payment card details through this website.

2. How we use your information

• To review your application and decide whether there is a fit for a partnership.
• To create and send you a recorded teardown if you qualify.
• To send the program estimate and Expert Program Blueprint you requested.
• To contact you about your application or request, and to follow up with related information about working together. You can opt out at any time.
• To operate, secure, and improve this website.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decisions that have legal effects on you. The screening questions on the application show an instant "not a fit" message based on your answers; this is informational only, and you may contact us to have any application reviewed by a person.

3. Legal bases (for visitors in the EU, UK, and similar jurisdictions)

• Consent: when you request the estimate or blueprint, or agree to receive emails. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Steps before entering a contract: when you apply to become a partner.
• Legitimate interests: running and securing the website, and following up on applications, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: where we must keep or disclose information by law.

4. Who we share information with

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run this business, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only on our instructions. These may include:

• Cloudflare, Inc., which hosts this website and processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect it.
• EmailJS (emailjs.com), which sends the program estimate you request to your email address.
• Web3Forms (web3forms.com), which receives the information you submit through our forms and delivers it to our email inbox.
• Google, which serves the fonts used on this website. When a page loads, your browser connects to Google's servers and shares your IP address.
• Our email provider, where submissions are received and stored, and any scheduling tools we use to reply to you.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a business sale or restructuring. If you become a partner, your information will be handled under the terms of your partnership agreement.

5. International transfers

We are based in Morocco, and our service providers may process data in other countries, including the United States and the European Union. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, and we make any declarations or authorization requests required by Morocco's data protection authority (CNDP).

6. How long we keep it

• Applications that do not lead to a partnership: up to 24 months, then deleted or anonymized.
• Estimate and blueprint requests: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data.
• Partner records: for the length of the partnership and as long as needed afterward for legal, tax, and accounting purposes.
• Technical logs: according to our hosting providers' standard retention periods.

7. Cookies

This website does not currently set analytics or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may process technical data (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and to keep the site running. If we add analytics or advertising tools in the future, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent first.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you and get a copy.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including direct marketing.
• Receive your information in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that already happened.

To use any of these rights, email houssam@thesecretoperator.com. We will respond within 30 days and may need to confirm your identity first. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority: in Morocco, the Commission Nationale de contrôle de la protection des Données à caractère Personnel (CNDP); in the EU or UK, the authority where you live. California residents: we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including access controls and reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

This website is for business professionals. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed. If changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.
