Privacy Policy

Introduction

Slim Scaling LLC ("Slim Scaling," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit apply.slimscaling.com, submit an application to work with us, or otherwise interact with the application website.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through apply.slimscaling.com. It does not describe the privacy practices of websites, platforms, or services operated independently by third parties.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

When you submit an application, we may collect information such as:

• your first name;
• business name;
• email address;
• mobile phone number;
• business website, store URL, Google Business Profile, business social-media profile, or other business link;
• the type of business you operate;
• the geographic area your business serves;
• approximate business or store revenue;
• current advertising activity and approximate advertising spend;
• advertising-performance information you choose to provide;
• information about your creative resources or capabilities;
• business capacity, challenges, goals, or bottlenecks;
• your role in the business;
• decision-making or investment readiness;
• timing or readiness to work with a marketing partner; and
• other information you voluntarily provide through the application.

The exact questions differ depending on whether you select the home-service or e-commerce application path.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that is not requested by the application.

Information Collected Automatically or Technically Processed

When you use the site, our website and the service providers that support it may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver, secure, and operate the site. Depending on the provider and request, this may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, request data, and server or security logs.

The application may also store basic information in your browser to make the funnel function properly. For example, it may remember the business path you selected and may temporarily preserve referral or campaign parameters associated with your visit.

We may collect referral parameters such as:

• UTM source;
• UTM medium;
• UTM campaign;
• UTM content; and
• UTM term.

These parameters help us understand how applicants reached the website.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, the application website does not use Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, or advertising/retargeting cookies.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the application to:

• receive and review your application;
• determine whether Slim Scaling's services may be relevant to your business;
• review your business, website, store, or other business presence before responding;
• contact you about your application;
• respond to questions or communications;
• communicate about a potential or existing business relationship;
• maintain records relating to applications and prospective clients;
• understand the general source of applications;
• operate, maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the website and application process;
• prevent spam, abuse, fraudulent submissions, and security incidents;
• comply with applicable legal obligations;
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
• protect the rights, property, security, and interests of Slim Scaling, our users, and others.

We do not use the application to make decisions involving employment, credit, housing, insurance, healthcare, or other legally protected eligibility determinations.

3. GoHighLevel and Our CRM

Information submitted through the application is transmitted to and processed within Slim Scaling's customer relationship management system, GoHighLevel/HighLevel.

We use this system to receive, organize, review, and manage applications, maintain contact records, and support communications relating to your application or a potential business relationship.

GoHighLevel and other providers that support the application process may process information on our behalf as service providers or processors in connection with the services they provide to us.

We do not publish our private integration credentials, webhook addresses, API credentials, or other security-sensitive configuration information.

4. Email Communications

If you submit an application, we may use the email address you provide to contact you about:

• receipt or review of your application;
• questions about information you submitted;
• whether we believe there may be a fit to work together;
• scheduling or next steps handled outside the current application website; and
• communications relating to a prospective or existing business relationship.

Submitting an application does not authorize unrelated third parties to email you on our behalf.

If you no longer wish to receive non-essential marketing emails from us, you may use any unsubscribe option included in those messages or contact us as described below. We may still send communications that are necessary to respond to an active request or administer an existing business relationship.

5. Mobile Phone Numbers and Text Messages

The application may request a mobile phone number as part of your contact information.

The current version of the application does not ask you to opt into recurring promotional SMS or text-message marketing by submitting the application.

Providing a phone number through the application does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive recurring marketing text messages.

If Slim Scaling introduces an optional SMS program in the future, the application and this Privacy Policy will be updated before that program is activated, and any consent required for that program will be collected separately.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to third parties only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Service Providers

We may provide information to companies that perform services on our behalf, including providers of:

• website hosting and infrastructure;
• application and form processing;
• customer relationship management;
• email delivery and communications;
• security, fraud prevention, and technical support; and
• professional services such as legal, accounting, or compliance assistance.

These providers may access information only as needed to provide their services to us or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and their agreements with us.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process;
• respond to lawful requests from public authorities;
• investigate or prevent suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity;
• enforce our agreements or protect our legal rights; or
• protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Slim Scaling, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

If Slim Scaling is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

7. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Slim Scaling does not sell personal information collected through this application for money.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we also do not use information collected through apply.slimscaling.com for cross-context behavioral advertising or share it with advertising platforms for that purpose.

Because the current application does not use advertising pixels or behavioral advertising tools, it does not presently provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism on this application site.

If our practices change in a way that requires additional disclosures or opt-out controls under applicable law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide the required controls before or when those practices begin.

8. Cookies and Browser Storage

The current application does not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

The site may use browser storage, including local storage or session storage, for limited functional purposes such as:

• remembering which application path you selected;
• maintaining application-related state during your visit; and
• temporarily preserving UTM or referral parameters.

Your browser may allow you to clear or restrict browser storage. Doing so may cause certain convenience features to reset but should not prevent you from viewing the public portions of the website.

Our infrastructure and service providers may also use technologies that are technically necessary to provide, secure, or maintain their services.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including reviewing applications, maintaining appropriate business records, communicating with prospective or existing clients, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, maintaining security, and meeting legal, accounting, or compliance obligations.

The exact retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information, whether an applicant becomes a client, the status of the business relationship, legal requirements, and our legitimate business needs.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable law and technical limitations.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

We also rely on service providers that maintain their own security measures for the systems they operate on our behalf.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to Slim Scaling's processing of your information, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to request:

• confirmation of whether we process information about you;
• access to certain personal information;
• correction of inaccurate personal information;
• deletion of certain personal information;
• a copy or portability of certain information;
• information about how personal information is used or disclosed;
• restriction of certain processing; or
• withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

Applicable law may provide exceptions to these rights, and we may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

12. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Disclosures

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law.

During the preceding 12 months, the categories of personal information we may have collected through this application include:

• Identifiers and contact information
  Examples include name, email address, phone number, business name, business URL, IP address, and similar identifiers.
• Professional and business information
  Examples include the type of business you operate, business location or service area, approximate revenue, advertising activity, advertising spend, business role, business capacity, and business challenges or goals.
• Internet or electronic activity information
  Examples may include browser/device information, request or security logs, referral information, and UTM parameters.
• Information you voluntarily provide
  This includes answers and other information you choose to submit through the application.

The primary source of this information is you. Limited technical information may also be generated automatically when you interact with the website or processed by our service providers.

We use these categories of information for the business and commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including reviewing applications, communicating with applicants, operating the website, maintaining security, keeping business records, and administering prospective or existing business relationships.

We may disclose these categories of information to service providers that support our website, CRM, communications, infrastructure, security, and professional operations.

We do not sell personal information collected through this application for monetary consideration, and as of the effective date we do not share application information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If a state privacy law applicable to Slim Scaling gives you additional rights, you may submit a request using the method described below.

13. International Visitors

Slim Scaling is based in the United States, and the application website and the service providers that support it may process or store information in the United States or other countries.

If you access the application from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country whose data-protection laws differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for an international transfer, we will use appropriate measures required by that law.

14. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for businesses and business representatives and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this application. If we learn that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

15. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including business websites, social platforms, or other services that Slim Scaling does not operate.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of those third parties. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own policies and terms.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, technology, vendors, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice regarding material changes.

You should review this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
