Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, improve your experience, and provide information to the site owners about how the site is used.

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Pretty Damn Ambitious™ currently uses the following technologies to enhance your experience:

Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage (a technology similar to cookies) to save your progress through the Elevation Assessment assessment. This allows you to return and continue where you left off without losing your answers. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers until you complete the assessment.

Essential Cookies

We use a cookie to remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools may set cookies that collect anonymous, aggregated data such as pages visited, time on site, and referring sources. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.

Data We Collect

When you complete the Elevation Assessment assessment, the following information may be stored in our database:

• First name and email address (if provided)
• Assessment responses and scores
• Industry and revenue range selections
• Post-assessment survey responses

When you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is shared with our email service provider (beehiiv) to deliver communications you have opted into.

When you submit a speaker application, the information you provide (name, email, bio, expertise, topic) is stored in our database for review.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not currently set third-party advertising or tracking cookies. If we add third-party analytics or marketing tools in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested.

Managing Your Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the consent banner on our site. You can also clear cookies and localStorage data through your browser settings. Note that clearing localStorage will reset your Elevation Assessment assessment progress.

Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies and site data are stored
• Delete cookies and site data selectively or entirely
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for how cookies are handled

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or technologies. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
