Legal

We don't sell your information. Full stop.

The Hard Port collects a small amount of data to operate this site and evaluate applications. This notice explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it.

Last updated: July 2026

What we collect

Three things. Nothing hidden.

We collect only what we need to run a diagnostic consulting practice. There is no advertising infrastructure behind this site.

Application data

Name, business details, and answers submitted through the application form. Used exclusively to evaluate whether THP should work with you.

First-party analytics

If you accept the site usage banner, we log pages viewed, scroll depth, and funnel events. First-party only — no Google Ads, no Meta Pixel, no ad tracking of any kind.

Review and diagnostic notes

Internal notes made during qualification and the Business Reality Diagnostic. These are part of THP's operational records and governed by your client agreement if you become a client.

How we use it

Only what's necessary

  • Evaluate your application honestly
  • Understand how people engage with this site
  • Deliver the diagnostic and intervention if you become a client
  • Not sold to any third party — ever
  • Not shared with advertisers — we don't run ads

How long we keep it

  • Application data — 90 days after a decision is made, then deleted unless you become a client.
  • Analytics — 12-month rolling window, then purged.
  • Diagnostic records — Retained under the terms of your client agreement.

Cookies

Functional only

We use a single functional cookie to maintain session state. If you accept analytics, a first-party analytics cookie is set. No cross-site tracking. No ad cookies. No retargeting.

Your rights

You have options

Regardless of where you are, you can:

  • Request to see what we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to any processing you did not consent to

EU and UK residents: GDPR rights apply. California residents: CCPA rights apply. Email us and we respond within 30 days.

Questions about your data?

One address. One team.

THP is a small operation. Privacy requests, corrections, and deletion requests all go to the same place — and get a real response.
