SourceGrowth ("we," "us," "our") publishes business and sourcing research at sourcegrowth.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
This is a plain-language summary as well as our policy — if anything below seems unclear, reach us through the Contact section below and we'll clarify.
Contact-form submissions. If you fill out a form on the Site (for example, to ask a question, request a shortlist, or reach our team), we collect what you type into that form — which may include your name, email address, company, and the content of your message.
Newsletter signups. If you subscribe to our newsletter or corridor briefing, we collect your email address and, if you provide it, your name.
Analytics. We use website analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, general location (city/region level, derived from IP address), device/browser type, and referring site. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to build an individual profile tied to your name or contact information unless you separately submit a form.
Server logs. Like any website, our hosting and security infrastructure automatically logs basic technical information (IP address, request timestamp, user agent) for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. This is standard server operation, not a tracking feature we built.
What we do NOT collect. We do not require an account to use the Site. We do not process payments on the Site. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
We do not use contact-form or newsletter data to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
We do not sell your personal information, and — as of this policy's effective date — we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. If that ever changes for any future referral or introduction feature, we will update this policy first and describe exactly what changes (see "Referral relationships," Terms of Use §6, for the current status of that feature).
We rely on a small number of service providers to run the Site. We name them by category rather than a fixed vendor list, because providers may change — we'll keep this section current:
Each of these providers is contractually limited to processing data for the purpose we engage them for, and none of them can resell your data for their own advertising use.
This is a US-focused site. We do not claim comprehensive compliance with the EU's GDPR or similar non-US frameworks, and we do not represent that we have appointed any non-US-specific data protection roles or mechanisms. If you are visiting from outside the United States, you are sending information to a service operated in and governed by US law. We describe our practices honestly above; nothing in this policy should be read as a broader compliance claim than what is stated.
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy as the Site's features change (for example, when the referral relationship described in our Terms of Use activates — see Terms of Use §6). We will update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Material changes affecting how previously collected data is used will be reflected here before they take effect.
