This Privacy Policy describes how The Trades Pipeline collects, uses, shares and protects information through thetradespipeline.com, our executive-conversation form and related business communications.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to provide when you begin an executive conversation, communicate with us or otherwise use the website. This may include:
- Your name, company name, company website, email address and phone number.
- The message or business context you choose to share.
- Whether you received a Brief from The Trades Pipeline and, if provided, its BGIB document number.
- Records of our communications and any information you later provide during a business relationship.
Our website and service providers may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, pages visited and general website activity.
2. How We Use Information
We use information for legitimate business purposes, including to:
- Review and respond to an executive-conversation request.
- Prepare for a conversation, including reviewing a referenced Executive Growth Intelligence Brief.
- Communicate about potential or active work with your business.
- Operate, protect, maintain and improve our website, systems and services.
- Keep appropriate business records, prevent misuse and comply with legal obligations.
Submitting the conversation form does not enroll you in a broad automated sales sequence. We may contact you by email or phone to respond to your request and continue the conversation you initiated.
4. Business Confidentiality
Your business stays your business. Information shared during an inquiry or working relationship is treated with discretion and used for the purpose for which it was provided.
The Trades Pipeline maintains protected-partnership principles and does not intentionally share one company's confidential information with a direct competitor. This Privacy Policy does not replace any separate confidentiality or professional-services agreement that may apply to an engagement.
6. Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we maintain. No website, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, to maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and satisfy legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the nature of the information and relationship.
7. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information associated with you, or to stop non-essential communications. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction or appeal.
To make a request, email davis@thetradespipeline.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Certain information may be retained when required by law or needed for legitimate business purposes.
8. Children's Privacy
The website and our services are intended for business owners, executives and other adults. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
9. External Links and Services
The website may link to third-party websites, publications or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information directly to a third party.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services or legal obligations evolve. The updated date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Material changes will be posted here.
