ClearedPathway ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at clearedpathway.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
Email Address
If you subscribe to the ClearedPathway newsletter, we collect your email address. This is processed through Beehiiv, our newsletter platform. We collect only what you voluntarily submit through the subscription form — we do not collect your name, address, or any other personal identifiers unless you choose to provide them.
Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site. GA4 collects information such as your approximate geographic location, browser type, device type, pages visited, time on site, and referring URL. This data is aggregated and used to improve site content and performance. GA4 does not collect your name or email address.
How We Use Your Information
Newsletter
Your email address is used solely to send you the ClearedPathway newsletter — content covering IT certifications, DoD security clearances, and building wealth in the cleared tech sector. We do not use your email for any other purpose.
Analytics
Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand which topics resonate with our audience, how visitors navigate the site, and how to improve content quality and discoverability. We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors.
Third-Party Services
Beehiiv
Newsletter subscriptions are managed by Beehiiv. When you subscribe, your email address is transmitted to and stored by Beehiiv in accordance with their own privacy policy. You can review Beehiiv's privacy practices at beehiiv.com.
Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4. Google may collect and process data as described in Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cloudflare
This site is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare's content delivery network (CDN). Cloudflare processes connection data (such as IP addresses) as part of providing hosting, security, and performance services. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Cookies
Google Analytics 4 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect usage data. These cookies are set by Google and are subject to Google's cookie policy. No other first-party cookies are set by ClearedPathway.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your browsing experience but will not prevent you from reading site content.
Data Sharing and Sale
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your email address with advertisers or data brokers. The only data sharing that occurs is the transmission of your email to Beehiiv for newsletter delivery, and the collection of analytics data by Google as described above.
Data Retention
Your email address is retained by Beehiiv for as long as you remain subscribed. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for the default retention period configured in our GA4 property.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email. To request deletion of your email address from our newsletter list, reply to any newsletter email or contact us directly at the email address below.
