Privacy Policy
Parsimony Now is a founder scale-systems hub. This page says who runs it, what information is collected, and how advertising cookies work — including Google AdSense.
Who operates this site
Parsimony Now (parsimonynow.com) is operated by Steve Simonson. The site publishes urgent rankings and playbooks for founder-led companies that need real systems to scale, and it points product interest to parsimony.com.
Privacy questions go through the same contact channel already used on this site: parsimony.com/contact.
What this policy covers
This policy applies to pages on parsimonynow.com. It does not replace the privacy terms of Parsimony or of any third-party site we link to.
Information we collect
When you visit, typical web operations may record:
- Technical logs such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages requested
- Cookies and similar storage set by this site or by third parties (including advertising partners)
- Information you choose to send through the existing contact channel
We do not ask you to create an account on Parsimony Now. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site and its partners use cookies to operate the pages, measure traffic, and — when ads are shown — to deliver and measure advertising, including personalized ads.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may limit some site or ad features.
Google AdSense, personalized ads, and third-party cookies
Advertising disclosure: Parsimony Now uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies — including third-party cookies — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Those ads may be personalized.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
Personalized advertising means an ad may be chosen using information about your activity on this site and other sites (for example, via advertising cookies). Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than parsimonynow.com — including Google and AdSense partners.
How to opt out of personalized ads

Those two addresses open Google's Ads Settings. You can also limit third-party advertising cookies through your browser controls.
How we use information
Information described above is used to:
- Serve and secure the site
- Understand which pages founders actually use
- Display, measure, and (where enabled) personalize ads through Google AdSense and its partners
- Respond when you contact us through the existing channel
Sharing
Advertising and infrastructure partners (including Google) receive the technical data their services need to run — cookies, device signals, and request metadata. We do not sell mailing lists or visitor dossiers. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the site and its visitors.
Retention
Server and edge logs are kept only as long as needed for operations, security, and debugging. Advertising cookies follow the retention rules of Google and other ad vendors.
Children
This site is for founders and operators. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
