Information Collected

Newsletter Signup

When you subscribe to the Scaling Success newsletter, your first name and email address are collected and stored by Kit (formerly ConvertKit), which manages the mailing list. Kit's privacy policy is available at kit.com/privacy.

Contact Form

When you submit the contact form, your name, email, organization, selected service, and message are sent to me via Resend (an email delivery service). This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. If you check the newsletter opt-in box, your email and first name are also added to the Kit mailing list.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information anonymously. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
