  • Growth check and contact forms: website address, name, email, and what you tell us, plus the page you sent it from, any campaign tags in the link you followed (for example utm_source), and your browser type. We store each enquiry in our database and email it to ourselves so a person can reply.

  • Outreach to businesses: legitimate interests, balanced in a written assessment. You can object at any time and we stop.
  • Client work: contract.
