Who we are
This notice explains how Discreet Growth (“we”, “us”) handles personal information collected through this website. If you have a question about it, send it through our private enquiry form.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry, we receive only the details you choose to enter:
- Your name or professional name
- Your email address
- A website or public profile link, if you add one
- The service you’re interested in, if you select one
- Your message
- Your confirmation that we may use these details to reply
You don’t need to give us your legal name. A professional name and a dedicated work email are enough to start a conversation.
Like most websites, our hosting provider also records standard technical data, such as IP address, browser type and the time of a request, in server logs used to keep the site secure and running.
How we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and understand what you need
- To prepare a proposal or scope, if you ask for one
- To keep this website secure and working
We don’t sell your information, use it for advertising or add you to a mailing list.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which pages people read and how they move through the site. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We have turned off Google signals and advertising features, and we never send names, email addresses, message content or other identifying details to analytics.
Where the law requires it, analytics cookies are set only after you give consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Where your information is stored and how it’s protected
Enquiries are delivered to a professional inbox used only for client communication. A copy is kept in the website’s admin area, which only authorised members of our team can open.
The website runs on Cloudways managed cloud hosting, with server-level firewalls, encrypted HTTPS connections, regular security updates and routine backups.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details only for as long as we need them to respond and to manage any work that follows. Enquiries that don’t lead to an engagement are deleted within 12 months. You can ask us to delete yours sooner at any time.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the service providers that make this website and our communication work, such as our hosting and email providers, and only as far as they need it to provide their service. We may also disclose information when the law requires us to.
Your choices
You can ask us to:
- Tell you what information we hold about you
- Correct information that’s wrong
- Delete your information
- Stop using it for a particular purpose
Send your request through the contact form using the same email address as your original enquiry, so we can find it. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
A note on discretion
Please don’t include sensitive personal details, explicit material or information about other people in your first message. A short description of your goal and a public link are enough to begin.
