Privacy & Cookies

What this site collects, why, and how to ask us to stop. Last updated 4 August 2026.

Cookies and tracking

This site doesn't use cookies. There's no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking scripts of any kind — nothing here profiles you or follows you elsewhere. The Maturity Tool's question-and-scoring logic runs entirely in your browser and never leaves your device unless you choose to submit your result (see below).

Comments and questions

If you leave a comment or question on the blog, we store your name, email address, and message so we can display approved comments and follow up if needed. Comments are moderated before they appear — nothing is published immediately. Your name is shown publicly alongside an approved comment; your email address never is.

The Blueprint download

Requesting the Blueprint asks for your name and email so we can give you the download link and, where useful, follow up afterwards. That information is stored for that purpose alone.

The Maturity Tool

Your result appears instantly and never requires an email — nothing about the tool itself needs a submission to work. If you choose to leave your name and email afterwards, we also store your result (the overall stage and the four dimension scores) so any follow-up is specific to what you told us, not generic.

Getting in touch directly

The Contact page is a plain mailto: link — it opens your own email client. We don't capture anything about that exchange through the site itself, only within the resulting email conversation.

How this is used, and by whom

Data submitted through this site is used only to respond to you, moderate comments, and understand who's engaging with the tool and the Blueprint. It's never sold, shared, or used for advertising. It's stored in Cloudflare D1, our hosting provider's database, and is accessible only to us.

How long we keep it, and your rights

We keep what you submit for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected for, until you ask us to delete it. Under UK data protection law, you have the right to ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you're unhappy with how we've handled it. To do any of that, just email us.

Who's responsible

Governance Intelligence is an initiative of 21CHG Limited, a UK company, which is the data controller for information collected through this site. Questions or requests about your data can go to mark.sweeny@governanceintelligence.co.uk.
