How Growth Scale Partners handles personal data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Growth Scale Partners operates through Dutch and US entities. The specific entity named in your proposal, contract or invoice is responsible for personal data processed within that engagement. For this website and general enquiries, the primary contact point is:

Growth Scale Partners
De Bukakkers 20
7811 KZ Emmen
The Netherlands
Email: info@growthscalepartners.com

2. Personal data we may collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may process:

• name, job title, company and professional contact details;
• information you provide through forms, email, calls or meetings;
• project, proposal and contractual information;
• billing and administrative information;
• website usage data, device information and IP address where enabled through analytics or security tooling;
• communication preferences and event or newsletter registrations where applicable.

3. Why we use personal data

We use personal data to:

• respond to enquiries and arrange discovery calls;
• prepare proposals and deliver contracted services;
• manage relationships with clients, partners and suppliers;
• administer billing, legal and operational obligations;
• secure, maintain and improve our website and services;
• send relevant business communications where permitted;
• comply with legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

4. Legal grounds

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• contract: processing needed to take steps at your request or perform an agreement;
• legitimate interests: operating, securing and developing our business, provided those interests do not override your rights;
• legal obligation: processing required by tax, accounting, regulatory or other law;
• consent: where we ask for permission, such as for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies.

5. Sharing information

We may share personal data with trusted service providers and professional partners that support hosting, security, CRM, forms, analytics, communications, accounting, legal services and project delivery. We only share information necessary for the relevant purpose and expect recipients to protect it appropriately.

We do not sell personal data.

6. International transfers

Because GSP works through Dutch and US entities and an international partner ecosystem, personal data may be processed outside the country where it was collected. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections and assess the receiving environment before transfer.

7. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including contractual, legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution requirements. Retention periods vary by category. Enquiry data is reviewed periodically, while contractual and financial records may be retained for the period required by applicable law.

8. Cookies and analytics

This website may use essential cookies required for security and operation. Analytics, marketing or other non-essential cookies will only be used where permitted and, when required, after consent. You can manage cookies through the cookie controls presented on the site or through your browser settings.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No online service can provide absolute security, but we regularly review the controls appropriate to the information and risks involved.

10. Your rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise a right, contact info@growthscalepartners.com. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity.

If you are in the European Economic Area and believe your data has not been handled properly, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

11. Third-party websites

Our website may link to external websites and platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices, and GSP is not responsible for how those third parties process information.

12. Changes to this statement

We may update this statement when our services, technology or legal obligations change. The latest version will always be published on this page with the revision date.
