The Fractional Sales Leader - Privacy Policy

TLDR; here are the 10 FAQs to the Privacy Policy.

1. Do you sell my data to shady characters in dark corners of the internet?

Absolutely not. We don’t sell, rent, trade, or otherwise hustle your personal data. Not even to “Nigerian princes” or crypto cults. Your data is yours, and we treat it like the crown jewels it is.

2. Why are you collecting my data in the first place?

Because we want to be helpful, and relevant. We collect only the data we need to:

Answer your questions,
Deliver our services,
Send you useful stuff (like sales insights, not spam),
And occasionally remind you that we exist (and can help).

3. How long do you keep my data? Forever?!

Not quite. We’re not hoarders. We keep your data only as long as we need it. Not longer. If you unsubscribe, ghost us, or run off with another sales consultancy (😭), we’ll let your data go too, unless we legally have to keep it.

4. What if I want you to delete all my data, like a digital breakup?

No hard feelings. Email us at info [at] the fractional sales leader.com and say the word. We’ll erase you from our systems (and our hearts 💔), as long as we’re not legally obliged to keep some of your info for tax or audit reasons.

5. Do you use cookies? (The digital kind, not the delicious kind.)

Yes, but they’re gluten-free and GDPR-approved. Cookies help our website run better, remember you, and avoid showing you the same pop-up 47 times. You can always say “no thanks” in your browser settings.

6. What if I want to see what data you have on me?

You can! It's your right under GDPR (and also because we believe transparency > surprises). Just email us and we’ll send you the digital equivalent of "this is your life."

7. I clicked something. Now I’m subscribed to your newsletter. Can I escape?ction

Of course! Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. One click and poof! You’re free. No guilt trips. No clingy emails. (Though we’ll miss you.)

8. You mentioned ‘legitimate interest’ — is that like a crush?

Kind of, but less romantic. It means we think there’s a good reason to process your data — like sending you insights because you downloaded a guide or signed up for a webinar. But if that interest becomes un-reciprocated, just let us know.

9. Where is my data stored — on a floppy disk in a dusty drawer?

Nope — we use secure, modern cloud systems (with encryption, firewalls, and no floppy disks in sight). Some providers may be outside the EU, but we ensure GDPR-approved safeguards are in place.

10. Who can I complain to if I think you're not playing by the privacy rules?

We hope it never comes to that. But if it does, you can reach out to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority). Or, talk to us first — we’re friendly and quite reasonable.
