Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your personal information on the Methods, Not Messiahs companion website.

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by MPC Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 32 663 867 839), trading as MPC Markets, located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. In this policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer to MPC Markets Pty Ltd.

This privacy policy applies specifically to the Methods, Not Messiahs book companion pages at mpcmarkets.com.au/investing-book/. For the broader MPC Markets privacy policy, see mpcmarkets.com.au/privacy-policy.

2. What We Collect

We collect only what's necessary to deliver the book companion experience and communicate with you. Here's a summary:

Data When Why
Email address When you subscribe via any form on the /investing-book/ pages To send you book updates, pre-order notifications, educational content, and diagnostic results
First name (optional) When you subscribe via the education newsletter or diagnostic form To personalise email communications
Diagnostic responses When you complete the investor diagnostic tool To generate your archetype, method suggestions, and composite score
Diagnostic results (archetype, top methods, composite score) When you submit the diagnostic and provide your email To deliver personalised results and enable the nurture email sequence
Website usage data Automatically, via cookies and analytics To understand how visitors use the site and improve the experience

We do not collect financial account details, tax file numbers, portfolio holdings, or any information about your actual investments through this website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Delivering your investor diagnostic results and personalised archetype report
  • Sending the email nurture sequence related to your diagnostic results
  • Notifying you when the book is available for purchase
  • Sending periodic educational content and book-related updates
  • Providing access to downloadable templates and worksheets
  • Improving the website, diagnostic tool, and educational content

We will not use your email address to send unrelated marketing material from MPC Markets unless you separately opt in to those communications.

4. Email Communications

We use MailPoet, a WordPress-based email platform, to manage subscriptions and send emails. When you subscribe, you are added to one or more of the following lists:

  • Book — Diagnostic Completions — if you complete the investor diagnostic
  • Book — Education Updates — if you join the pre-order or education newsletter list
  • Book — Tool Downloads — if you download a template or worksheet

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time, and we will process your request promptly. Unsubscribing from one list does not automatically remove you from others — you can manage your preferences via the link in any email or by contacting us directly.

5. Cookies and Analytics

This website uses cookies to support basic functionality and analytics. Specifically:

  • Essential cookies — required for the website and forms to function (e.g., WordPress session cookies, MailPoet tracking)
  • Analytics cookies — used to understand visitor behaviour, page views, and site performance (e.g., Google Analytics or similar)

We do not use cookies for retargeting, behavioural advertising, or cross-site tracking on the /investing-book/ pages. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as expected.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers located in Australia and/or the United States (depending on the hosting and email service providers used). We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, including:

  • SSL/TLS encryption on all pages
  • Access controls limiting who can view subscriber data
  • Regular updates to WordPress, MailPoet, and associated plugins

No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • MailPoet — email subscription management and delivery
  • WordPress / WP Engine (or equivalent) — website hosting
