Who we are
This site, whobringsthebusiness.com (“WhoBringsTheBusiness”), is run by Sagar Pratap Singh, based in New Delhi, India. Sagar is the data controller (in India, the “data fiduciary”) for personal data collected through the site. Contact: sagar@whobringsthebusiness.com.
What we collect, and from where
We collect what you type into a form. If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics and HubSpot record page visits and referral information so we can understand which content leads to enquiries. If you allow marketing cookies, Meta Pixel and Google ad signals measure visits and actions that come from our social posts or ads. Neither loads without your consent.
- Contact form (homepage): name, email, organization, country, area of interest and your message.
- Sponsorship enquiry (Sponsor & Partner page): the contact form fields above, plus website and package of interest.
- Newsletter signup (site footer and pages): your email address and which form you used.
- Podcast guest application (Podcast page, when open): name, role, organization, country, LinkedIn URL, topic pitch and why you bring the business.
- Media kit request (when shown): company, contact name, email, package of interest, budget range and message.
Like any website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver pages and keep the service secure.
Why we use it
- To reply to your enquiry, sponsorship request or guest application.
- To keep you informed about the newsletter you asked for.
- To run, secure and fix the website.
We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not use it for automated decisions.
Lawful bases (EU and UK visitors)
- Consent: newsletter signup, Google Analytics, HubSpot analytics, Meta Pixel and embedded media (YouTube). You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract: steps you ask us to take before working together, such as answering a consulting or sponsorship enquiry.
- Legitimate interests: replying to general messages and guest applications, and keeping the site secure.
Service providers and third parties
- Lovable (website hosting, including the Lovable Cloud database where form submissions are stored).
- Google Analytics: if you allow analytics, Google measures page visits and key actions such as booking clicks and form sign-ups using Consent Mode; ad signals stay off unless you allow marketing. See Google’s privacy policy.
- Meta Pixel: loads only if you allow marketing, and records page views and actions such as booking clicks, enquiries and sign-ups so we can measure Facebook and Instagram activity. See Meta’s privacy policy.
- HubSpot: if you allow analytics, HubSpot measures page visits and referrals. Form details are also sent to the matching HubSpot form after being saved in our database, together with the page name, page address and the HubSpot browser identifier when available, so we can respond and understand where an enquiry came from.
- HubSpot Meetings: booking links open HubSpot’s own meetings page in a new tab. HubSpot handles your booking under its privacy policy.
- YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode) and our podcast host Spotify for Creators (anchor.fm): players load only when you press play.
- Unsplash: some article cover photos load from images.unsplash.com, which receives your IP address like any image server.
- LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Apple Podcasts, Spotify: only if you click a link to them; their own policies then apply.
- IndexNow: we notify search engines when pages change. This sends page addresses only, never visitor data.
Fonts are hosted on our own site, so no data goes to Google Fonts.
International transfers
Our providers may store or process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union. Where required, transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent protections.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries, sponsorship requests and guest applications: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless we start working together.
- Newsletter signups: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
- Google Analytics and Meta Pixel data: kept according to each provider’s retention settings, up to 14 months for Google Analytics.
- HubSpot analytics data: kept according to our HubSpot account settings and removed when it is no longer needed for site measurement or enquiry follow-up.
- Your cookie choice: stored in your browser until you change or clear it.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Form submissions are stored in a database that the public cannot read, and the admin area is password-protected. No method is completely secure, but we limit access to what is needed.
Your rights
EU and UK (GDPR and UK GDPR): you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).
India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023): you can ask for a summary of your data and how it is processed, have it corrected, completed or erased, nominate someone to act for you, and raise a grievance. Grievance contact: Sagar Pratap Singh, sagar@whobringsthebusiness.com. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.
California (CCPA and CPRA): you can ask what personal information we hold, ask us to delete or correct it, and you will not be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Children
This site is for professionals and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
