Privacy policy summary
This Privacy Policy explains how Earlygrovenet LLC collects, uses, discloses and protects personal data you provide when you visit earlygrovenet.com, request services, or communicate with our team. We limit collection to data necessary to provide stakeholder communication consulting, schedule consultations and share anonymized case materials when requested. We rely on lawful bases such as your consent, contract performance and legitimate interests to manage operational communications, provide services and improve our offerings. We do not sell personal data. This page describes cookies and tracking, retention periods, the rights available to individuals, and how to contact us about privacy matters. If you have questions or need a data processing agreement for a contracted engagement, contact us using the details below. Our office address and contact details are provided in the footer for verification and regulatory correspondence.
Information we collect and why
We collect information you provide directly and metadata from interactions with our website and communications. Data you provide directly includes name, organization, email address, phone number, project details, and any files you choose to share when requesting a discovery or case brief. We use this data to respond to inquiries, schedule meetings, prepare tailored materials and deliver contracted services. When you engage with our services we may also collect role and stakeholder mapping details necessary to deliver the engagement. We collect usage data such as page visits, form submissions and anonymized analytics to improve our site and measure engagement with resources. We do not collect special category data except when you voluntarily submit it during an engagement; if such data is needed, we will obtain explicit consent and apply additional protections.
Sources of data
Primary sources are you and your authorized representatives, and information you provide via forms, email and uploaded documents. We may also receive contact details from public sources or referral partners when you choose to engage. For analytics we use aggregated, anonymized metrics derived from website telemetry. Where Earlygrovenet processes personal data on behalf of a client as a data processor, that processing follows the direction and contract terms agreed with that client and, when required, a data processing addendum.
Cookies, tracking and analytics
Our site uses essential cookies required for site functionality and optional cookies for analytics and performance. The cookie banner allows you to accept or reject optional cookies. Essential cookies enable form submissions, session handling and accessibility features; they are necessary for the website to operate correctly. Optional cookies collect anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration and interaction patterns to help us improve content and measure engagement with guides and case briefs. We do not use cookies to profile you for advertising or sell personal data. You can change your preference by using the cookie controls on the site or clearing your browser cookies; rejecting optional cookies will not prevent access to core site features.
Third-party services
We use third-party providers for hosting, analytics and email delivery. These providers process data on our behalf and are subject to contractual safeguards. Where applicable, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms for cross-border processing to ensure adequate protection of personal data when providers are outside your jurisdiction.
Data retention, access and portability
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal obligations and to resolve disputes. Contact inquiry records are retained for a period consistent with business and contractual requirements, typically up to 3 years unless a longer retention is needed for an active engagement or legal requirement. When you request deletion, we will remove your personal data from our active systems and place any residual information beyond our technical means of deletion into a secure archive for a minimal period to comply with legal obligations. Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or portability of your personal data. Requests are handled promptly and may require identity verification to protect privacy and security. If we are unable to comply with a request we will explain why and provide options for appeal where available.
Your rights and choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. To exercise rights, contact us at the details below. We will verify identity when required and respond within applicable legal timeframes. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly. For cookies and tracking, use the cookie banner to accept or reject optional cookies; browser settings can also be used to block or remove cookies. If you believe our processing violates applicable law, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
