YouScaleBetter

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

YouScaleBetter is currently a market-validation project operated by Christian Portig. This notice explains how personal data is handled when you visit the website, complete the offer fit check, or contact us.

1. Data controller

Christian Portig, trading under the project name YouScaleBetter
Clovisstraat 20, Haarlem, Netherlands
Email: christian@youscalebetter.com

2. Data we collect

We collect only information you choose to provide, including:

  • Your name, email address, and country of employment.
  • Your role, level, prospective employer, and decision deadline.
  • Offer details such as salary, currency, bonus, equity, sign-on terms, and other benefits.
  • Your negotiation status, priorities, questions, and any competing offers or processes you disclose.
  • Email correspondence and basic technical server logs needed to operate and secure the website.

Please do not submit identity documents, bank details, health information, or confidential employer documents through the form.

3. Why we use the data

We use the information to assess whether an offer appears to have credible negotiation leverage, respond to your request, improve the proposed service, measure genuine demand, prevent misuse, and maintain the security of the website.

The legal bases are steps taken at your request before a possible service relationship and our legitimate interests in testing and improving the concept, responding to enquiries, and operating the website securely. We do not add you to a marketing list unless you separately opt in.

4. Service providers

We use a limited number of providers that may process data on our behalf:

  • Tally: hosts the offer fit-check form and stores submissions. See Tally’s Privacy Policy.
  • Namecheap: provides website hosting and may process basic server logs.
  • Google Analytics, connected through Site Kit: measures page visits, acquisition sources, device and browser information, approximate location, and interactions such as service-button and form activity. Statistics tracking is controlled by your consent choice. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
  • Complianz and WP Consent API: display and communicate your cookie and statistics-consent choices to compatible website services.
  • Email and video-call providers: process contact details and communications when we reply or arrange a conversation.
  • AI-assisted tools: may help structure submitted information and draft an initial analysis. Identifying information is minimized where practicable, and a human reviews any recommendation. We do not make solely automated decisions about you.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, the provider’s contractual safeguards and other lawful transfer mechanisms are relied upon.

5. Retention

Fit-check submissions and related correspondence are normally retained for no longer than six months after the last contact, unless you ask for earlier deletion or a longer period is needed to establish or defend legal claims. Anonymous, aggregated validation results that no longer identify you may be retained.

6. Your rights

Subject to the GDPR, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your personal data. You may also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority. To exercise your rights, email christian@youscalebetter.com.

7. Cookies and measurement

The website uses essential technical functionality and a consent-management layer. With your permission, Google Analytics measures aggregate website use and interactions so we can understand which pages, articles, and offers are useful. We do not currently use advertising pixels or behavioural advertising cookies.

You can accept or reject optional statistics tracking and change your choice at any time using the Privacy choices control on the website. Rejecting optional tracking does not prevent you from reading the site or submitting a Tally form. Tally processes information only when you choose to open and submit a form.

8. Changes

This is an early validation project. This notice may be updated when the tools, service, or legal setup changes. The latest version will remain available on this page.
