Privacy & cookies

Private means private.

The site is deliberately designed to collect less information, particularly around the self-assessment and sexual-health browsing.

Quiet Notes.

Quiet Notes is an occasional private email about performance pressure, sexual confidence and the psychological side of erection difficulties. I also sometimes mention new resources, the book and The Quiet Problem Programme.

Joining requires an explicit, unticked consent choice. Marketing consent is never a condition of buying the programme. Emails use neutral subject lines, usually arrive 2–4 times a month, and contain an unsubscribe option.

I do not create sexual-health profile segments such as “performance anxiety” or other categories based on what you read or how you answer the self-assessment. Quiet Notes is one list.

Your email address is kept for Quiet Notes until you unsubscribe or ask for removal, subject to any minimal suppression record the email provider needs to prevent accidental re-subscription.

Private self-assessment.

No assessment answer or result is transmitted or stored. The tool runs in your browser only. It does not email the personalised result. If you join Quiet Notes from that page, the email form is separate from the assessment and does not include your answers or result.

Payments.

Programme payments are processed by PayPal / the configured payment platform. PayPal receives the information needed to process the transaction. Card details are not stored by The Quiet Problem. Customer-facing payment descriptors are configured as discreetly as the payment system allows; the site does not publish or promise a specific descriptor until it has been confirmed by a real/test payment.

Cookies and browser storage.

The Quiet Problem is designed to operate without non-essential advertising cookies, remarketing pixels or behavioural tracking. The site may use strictly necessary browser storage where it is needed for basic functionality, security or to remember that you have acknowledged the privacy notice.

The privacy notice itself uses a small browser-storage preference so that, once you have dismissed it, it does not keep appearing on every page. This preference does not contain sexual-health information, assessment answers or advertising identifiers.

If non-essential analytics, advertising or similar tracking is introduced in future, it will not be activated until any consent required by UK privacy law has been obtained. The privacy notice and controls will be updated at that point.

Tracking and analytics.

At launch, the site is intended to run without non-essential advertising tracking, sexual-profile segmentation or remarketing pixels. Where practical, aggregate or privacy-preserving measurement is preferred.

Substack and external services.

Links to Substack, PayPal, the course platform and other external services take you to those providers, which operate under their own privacy notices and may use their own cookies or similar technologies when you use their services.

Your choices.

You can unsubscribe from Quiet Notes at any time. For privacy questions or requests about information you have actively supplied, contact [CONTACT EMAIL].
