Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
LeadWiseSystem ("we," "us," "our") is operated by Denecke Media LLC. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our lead tracking service at leadwisesystem.com and app.leadwisesystem.com.
1. Information We Collect
Account information: When you sign up, we collect your email address, name, company name, and password (stored as a bcrypt hash — we never store plaintext passwords).
Lead data: You enter lead information (names, emails, phone numbers, companies, notes) into the system. This is your data. We store it to provide the service.
Usage data: We collect basic analytics via Google Analytics 4 (page views, session duration) to improve the product. No personal data is shared with Google for advertising purposes.
Payment data: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers. Stripe handles all payment data under their own privacy policy.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the LeadWiseSystem service
- To authenticate your account and enforce access controls
- To process payments and manage your subscription
- To send transactional emails (password reset, email verification, trial expiry notifications)
- To improve the product based on aggregate usage patterns
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored in AWS (Amazon Web Services) data centers in the US East region. We use:
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+)
- Encrypted database connections
- bcrypt password hashing
- JWT-based authentication with short-lived tokens
- Rate limiting on authentication endpoints
- Account lockout after failed login attempts
4. Data Retention
We retain your account data and lead data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription, your data remains accessible in read-only mode. If you request account deletion, we permanently delete all your data within 30 days.
5. Your Rights
You can:
- Export your data at any time (CSV export available in the app)
- Delete your account by contacting us at matt@deneckemedia.co
- Access your data — everything you entered is visible in the app
- Correct your data — you can edit any lead or contact information
6. Cookies
We use:
- Authentication token (localStorage) — keeps you logged in
- Google Analytics cookies — anonymous usage analytics (can be blocked without affecting the app)
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
7. Third-Party Services
- Stripe — payment processing (stripe.com/privacy)
- Google Analytics 4 — anonymous usage analytics (policies.google.com/privacy)

8. California Residents (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect
