At Simply Start Transformation, we operate as a strategic partnership and technical and operational bridge for our clients. Confidentiality, data integrity, and privacy aren't just legal requirements for us, they are the foundation of the strategic partnership we build with you. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide our high-velocity leadership services.
- Contact Information: Name, email address, and LinkedIn profile (collected via our Discovery Call or Contact forms).
- Business Symptoms: Any information you provide regarding your current engineering or operational challenges to help us perform an initial Strategic Triage.
- Technical Data: Standard web analytics (IP address, browser type) to help us optimize our site performance.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly to:
- Facilitate your Discovery Call or Operational Pilot.
- Deliver the Technical Audits and Strategic Roadmaps you have requested.
- Communicate updates regarding our partnership and service evolution.
- Note: We never sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties.
3. Data Storage & The "Swiss Fortress"
We prioritize data residency. Your data is stored on secure servers provided by Infomaniak, located physically in Switzerland.
- Legal Protection: Your data is protected by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nLPD) and the GDPR.
- Sovereignty: Being hosted in Switzerland ensures your data is not subject to the US Cloud Act or unauthorized "backdoor" access.
4. Data Retention
We practice Data Minimization. We only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our services. If we conclude our partnership, you may request the immediate deletion of your data.
5. Your Rights (GDPR & nLPD)
Regardless of where you are located, we afford you the following rights:
- The Right to Access: You can ask for a copy of the data we hold on you.
- The Right to Erasure: You can ask us to "forget" you and delete your data at any time.
- The Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
To exercise these rights, simply email us at info@simplystarttransformation.com.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
To maintain our ability to provide services, we use a select few "Gold Standard" tools (e.g., Infomaniak for hosting, Google for scheduling). Each of these providers is vetted for GDPR compliance.
7. Cookies
We use minimal session cookies to ensure our website functions correctly. You can choose to disable these in your browser settings, though it may affect the functionality of our forms.
