No Consent Required

I’m excited to blog about our privacy policy. That probably sounds both odd and boring. Stay with me.

I remember when the web felt free and easy. Before the checkpoints. Before the slop. Before the friction.

You opened a browser — maybe it was Netscape. You went somewhere. You read something. Easy peasy.

No negotiation. No banner demanding consent. It might have been slow, but there was zero friction.

Somewhere along the way, the first interaction with most websites stopped being content. It became consent.

Accept all. Reject non-essential. Manage preferences.

We have grown used to these small acts of surrender.

That shift didn’t happen because companies suddenly cared more about privacy. It happened because businesses discovered they could trade your privacy for their revenue.

Policies reveal incentives. Incentives reveal character.

When we built Launch Day Advisors, we made an early decision: we would not monetize traffic. We would not build advertising audiences. We would not harvest behavioral data “just in case.”

We advise buyers in selecting AI, UX, and software firms. Our credibility depends on independence. Our independence depends on simple, transparent incentives. That, and I miss the old Internet.

So our privacy posture is simple: No hidden tracking architecture. No consent theater. No unnecessary friction.

That is why you do not see an accept/decline box when you visit our site. Not because privacy does not matter — because it is the foundation of everything else.

Privacy = Trust.
