A straightforward approach
to your information.

Information you choose to share

When you contact us, we receive your name, company, role, email address, and the message you submit. We use this information to respond, arrange a conversation, and assess whether we can help. Please do not submit confidential business information, financial account details, or other sensitive information through the form.

How we use and retain it

We use inquiry information for the conversation you requested and related business administration. Submitting the form does not subscribe you to marketing. We do not sell personal information.

Inquiries are delivered by email. We retain correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to manage the inquiry, any resulting engagement, and applicable legal or recordkeeping obligations. You can ask us to delete inquiry correspondence, subject to those obligations. Engagement-specific data handling is addressed separately in the engagement agreement.

Service providers

Our hosting and email providers process information needed to operate this website and deliver inquiries. Email delivery may use Resend or a configured SMTP provider and the recipient's email service. If enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile processes technical signals to help distinguish legitimate requests from abuse. Cloudflare may also provide DNS, network security, and content delivery.

These providers may process data in countries other than your own. Their services are subject to their own privacy notices and the arrangements applicable to our accounts. We do not send the content of your inquiry to an AI model through this website.

Security and spam protection

We use encrypted transport, server-side validation, and submission limits. To limit abuse, we temporarily store a keyed hash derived from the connecting IP address and a submission counter. Counter records expire automatically within their rate-limit window, which is no longer than one hour. Security and infrastructure logs may separately contain IP addresses and request metadata. Contact form message bodies are not intentionally recorded in application logs.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Please use the form only for introductory, non-confidential context.

Analytics and browser storage

Where configured, we use Plausible for aggregate website analytics, such as page views and referring sites. The standard Plausible integration is designed to work without analytics cookies or cross-site advertising profiles. We do not add form content or contact details to analytics events. If analytics is not configured, no analytics script is loaded.

Your light or dark theme preference is saved in your browser's local storage. You can clear it through your browser settings. Spam-protection and network-security providers may use storage or technical signals required for their service.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your information, or to request a portable copy. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent without affecting prior lawful processing. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

To make a request or ask a privacy question, email hello@costepartners.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
