We use the personal information we collect for various business and commercial purposes, including:

With your consent, when you submit a form we also transmit your email address and phone number to Google (Enhanced Conversions) and Meta (Advanced Matching) in hashed form so those platforms can measure conversions more accurately, and our CRM may transmit lead and customer conversion events to Meta server-to-server (Conversions API) for the same purpose.

Platforms used include Google Analytics and HubSpot analytics.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above depends on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

  • Consent: We rely on consent for placing non-essential cookies (Analytics, Marketing, some Functional) via our cookie banner, and for sending direct marketing communications to new contacts. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Performance of a Contract: We process personal information (Identifiers, Professional Info, Financial Info) as necessary to perform our contractual obligations when providing services to you as a client.
  • Legitimate Interests: We process personal information for our legitimate interests, such as website security, internal analytics (where balanced against your rights), operational purposes, and marketing communications to existing clients (subject to your right to opt-out), provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
  • Legal Obligation: We may process personal information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as maintaining financial records.

6. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We share or disclose personal information with the following categories of third parties. Some of these disclosures constitute "sharing" — and our use of visitor-identification services may constitute "selling" — of personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (CCPA/CPRA) and similar US state privacy laws. You have the right to opt out; see Sections 6a and 9.

  • Advertising Platforms (Meta, Google Ads): We disclose online identifiers, click IDs, and — with your consent, in hashed form — email address and phone number for conversion measurement and cross-context behavioral advertising. This constitutes "sharing" under CCPA/CPRA.
  • Visitor-Identification Providers (RB2B / Retention.com, with its partner LiveIntent): With your consent, these providers process your visit data and online identifiers to identify you and provide us your professional contact information. Depending on how the law is interpreted, this may constitute a "sale" and/or "sharing" of personal information under CCPA/CPRA.
  • Service Providers: Analytics (Google Analytics), CRM/Marketing Automation (HubSpot — including server-to-server transmission of lead/customer conversion events to Meta's Conversions API on our behalf), Workflow Automation (Zapier), Payment Processing (Stripe), and other providers such as website hosting, IT support, email delivery, and legal/accounting advisors. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, your information may be transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users or the public, or protect against legal liability.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. Examples include access controls, data encryption where appropriate, secure servers, and staff training. However, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse.

7

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for processing, and applicable legal requirements. Cookie and identifier lifetimes are listed in our Cookie Policy (30 days to 13 months, depending on the cookie).
