Privacy Policy

Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to The Growth Innovator, operated by Alex Colhoun, accessible at alexcolhoun.com. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at contact@alexcolhoun.com.

What information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Your name and email address when you sign up for the free masterclass or join our email list
• Payment information when you purchase a LinkedIn Growth System or cohort (processed securely by Stripe (we do not store card details))
• Any information you submit through our contact or assessment forms

We also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through standard web analytics tools.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you the content, emails, or programs you signed up for
• Process payments and manage your purchases
• Send you updates, offers, or educational content related to LinkedIn growth and our services (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Improve our website and understand how people use it
• Respond to your enquiries or support requests

LinkedIn data

This website and its associated tools do not access, collect, or store any data from your LinkedIn account. Any connection with LinkedIn (such as applying to a developer program or using LinkedIn-related features) is done through official LinkedIn interfaces and governed by LinkedIn's own Privacy Policy.

We do not use LinkedIn APIs to collect, scrape, or process any LinkedIn member data. Our educational content and LinkedIn Growth Systems are designed to help you use LinkedIn more effectively, not to access LinkedIn's platform on your behalf.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third-party services that help us operate our business, including:

• Beehiiv: our email platform, for sending newsletters and course content
• Stripe: for secure payment processing
• Zapier: to automate connections between our tools

These providers are contractually required to keep your data secure and may only use it for the purposes we specify.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and understand site usage. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site.

Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time (every email includes an unsubscribe link)
• Request that we restrict processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@alexcolhoun.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Data retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. If you unsubscribe from our emails or request deletion, we will remove your data promptly.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. All payment data is handled by Stripe and protected by industry-standard encryption.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
