Privacy Policy

Information you provide

When you request a conversation through the website, we collect:

• —Your full name
• —Your work email address
• —Your company, if provided
• —The primary business challenge you select
• —The approximate annual-revenue range you select

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, health information, biometric information, precise geolocation, or other sensitive personal information through the inquiry form. We do not intentionally request such information through this website.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, we or our service providers may process limited technical information, including:

• —Referring page
• —Landing-page path
• —UTM campaign parameters
• —Browser and device information
• —IP address and other information ordinarily processed when a device connects to a website
• —Cookie and consent information
• —Website usage and analytics information, if you consent to statistics cookies

The website also stores a first-party browser value called arp:last-hero. It remembers the most recently displayed homepage image to reduce immediate repetition. It is stored only in your browser and is not included with your inquiry submission.

We use information collected through the website to:

• —Review and respond to requests for a conversation
• —Understand the context of a prospective engagement
• —Communicate with the person who submitted the request
• —Understand how visitors arrived at the website
• —Measure and improve website performance, where analytics consent has been provided
• —Maintain the security, reliability, and operation of the website
• —Comply with applicable legal obligations and protect our rights

Submitting an inquiry does not subscribe you to a marketing mailing list. We do not use inquiry information for promotional email marketing unless you separately agree to receive it.

How a request reaches us

A submitted request is delivered as a single email to a monitored A Rare Pleasure inbox and is read by Alexander Behnke. The website does not keep the submission in a database of its own, and the request is not forwarded to a customer-relationship or lead-management system. The confirmation screen shows a reference code that also appears on that email, so you can cite it if you follow up.

The email address you provide is set as the reply address on that message, which means a reply goes directly to you. Submitting the form does not trigger an automated confirmation email to you.

We use Cookiebot, provided by Usercentrics, to collect and manage cookie preferences.

Google Analytics 4 is used to understand general website activity only after a visitor permits statistics cookies. Google Analytics may process information such as a pseudonymous browser identifier, page activity, general device information, and approximate location derived from an IP address. We do not send your name, email address, company, selected business challenge, or selected revenue range to Google Analytics.

Necessary cookies and storage may operate without consent where permitted by applicable law. Non-essential analytics technologies are activated only according to the preferences provided through Cookiebot.

You can review the current cookies and technologies used on the website on our Cookie Declaration page. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the website footer.

We use service providers to operate the website and respond to inquiries. These currently include:

• —Vercel, for website hosting, content delivery, and server infrastructure
• —Resend, for transmitting inquiry-form emails
• —Our email provider, for receiving and retaining inquiry correspondence
• —Usercentrics/Cookiebot, for cookie-consent management
• —Google Analytics, for consent-based website analytics

These providers may process information on our behalf according to their respective services, terms, and privacy practices.

We may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights or the safety of others, investigate misuse, or complete a business reorganization or transfer.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not currently use advertising or remarketing pixels on this website, and we do not provide inquiry information to third parties for their independent email-marketing purposes.

We retain inquiry correspondence for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you unless:

• —A client relationship is established
• —A longer period is required by law
• —The information is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• —You request deletion and no overriding reason requires continued retention

Records associated with an active or former client engagement may be retained longer for contractual, accounting, tax, legal, or legitimate business purposes.

Cookie-consent and analytics information is retained according to our configured settings and the practices of the relevant service provider.

A Rare Pleasure and its service providers are based in or operate from the United States. If you access the website from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or another jurisdiction whose data-protection laws differ from those where you live.

Where required, we and our service providers use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Where European Economic Area or United Kingdom data-protection law applies, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

• —Taking steps at your request before potentially entering into a contract
• —Our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries, operating and securing the website, and managing our business
• —Your consent for non-essential analytics technologies
• —Compliance with applicable legal obligations

You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through Cookie Settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• —Request access to personal information we hold about you
• —Request correction of inaccurate information
• —Request deletion of information
• —Request restriction of or object to certain processing
• —Request a portable copy of information you provided
• —Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• —Lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority

These rights may be subject to legal limitations and exceptions.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the email address below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission, email system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, our practices, service providers, or applicable requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated date.
