Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Introduction

Scaling Principles, LLC ("we", "our", or "the Company") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices with respect to information collected from users who access our website at https://www.scalingprinciples.org ("Site"), or otherwise share personal information with us ("Users").

Grounds for Data Collection

We process your personal information as necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations to you, to provide you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests, and to comply with legal and financial regulatory obligations. By using the Site, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure, and other uses of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information from Users:

  • Non-personal Information: anonymous, aggregated usage information and technical data such as browser type, operating system, language preference, access times, and on-site activity like pages viewed and actions taken.
  • Personal Information: individually identifiable information including, but not limited to:
    • Device information (geolocation data, IP address, unique device identifiers, and related activity data)
    • Registration information (full name, email address, company, mailing address, and any information you voluntarily provide via forms or contact channels)
    • Mobile phone number, if you choose to receive text (SMS) messages from us
    • Other information you submit directly to us during your interactions with our Site and services

How Do We Receive Information About You?

  • Information you provide by completing forms or communicating with us directly
  • Information generated when you use or access the Site in connection with our services
  • Information collected from third-party providers, analytics services, and publicly available registers

Use of Information

We use the information collected for purposes including:

  • Communicating with you about our services, providing support, and responding to your inquiries
  • Sending confirmations or acknowledgements of your messages, including by email or, where you have opted in, by SMS
  • Sending you updates, marketing materials, and service notifications (where you have opted in)
  • Improving and personalizing our Site, services, and communications
  • Conducting analytics and statistical research to improve the Site
  • Complying with legal obligations and protecting our rights

We may share your personal information with trusted third parties, including:

  • Affiliates, business partners, or subcontractors involved in operating the Site
  • Legal authorities, when required by applicable law

We do not sell your personal information.

Text (SMS) Messaging

If you opt in to text messages — for example, to receive an acknowledgement after submitting our contact form — we will send messages related to your request using the mobile number you provide. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase. We do not sell or share mobile information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to operate the Site, remember preferences, and analyze usage. We group cookies into Essential, Analytics, Marketing, and Functional categories. Non-essential cookies are off by default and load only after you consent through our cookie banner. You can review or change your choices at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer, or through your browser settings. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request to:

Retention

We retain your personal information as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods are determined by the type and purpose of the information and applicable regulations.

Third-Party Collection of Information

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by Scaling Principles, LLC. Please refer to the privacy policies of third-party service providers and external sites for information on their data practices.

How We Safeguard Your Information

We implement and maintain industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. While we strive for reasonable security, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Transfer of Data Outside the EEA

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the EEA, including the United States. When transferring data, we use safeguards approved by the European Commission or comply with other relevant legal frameworks.

Advertising

Where enabled, we may use advertising technology to serve relevant ads based on your use of the Site. You can opt out of many third-party ad networks through the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info).

Marketing

We may send marketing communications about our services via email, but each message will include an unsubscribe option. After opting out, you may still receive critical notices, such as service updates or transactional messages.

Corporate Transactions

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, which will be bound by this Privacy Policy.

Our Site and services are not designed for or intentionally targeted at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with their personal information, please contact [email protected], and we will promptly remove such data.
