Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is Nicolas Thành GRIFFON, publisher of the Scale in Peace website (scaleinpeace.com).
For any question about your data, or to exercise your rights: contact@scaleinpeace.com.
What the site collects, and why
When you download the guide or subscribe to the newsletter. The form collects your first name and your email address. They are used to send you the guide, then emails about steering a tech team in Vietnam. The legal basis is your consent, given when you submit the form. This data is hosted by Kit (formerly ConvertKit), in the United States. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link.
When you book a discovery call. Booking runs through a Google calendar embedded in the page. Google collects your name, your email address and whatever you type in, in order to set up the appointment. The legal basis is carrying out your request.
When you leave a comment on an article. The name and email address you enter, the comment itself, your IP address and your browser details are stored. The IP address and browser details are used for spam detection. A hashed version of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your avatar.
When you simply browse the site. If you accept audience measurement cookies, Google Analytics records anonymised browsing data: pages viewed, time spent, referrer, device type. Nothing is triggered until you accept. Separately, the host keeps technical connection logs, as any web server does.
