2.3 Data We Collect From Third-Party Sources
In addition to data you provide directly, we also collect and process personal data obtained from publicly available and licensed third-party sources. This is disclosed under Article 14 of the UK GDPR, which applies when personal data is not collected directly from you.
We may collect your name, job title, company name, business address, email address, and telephone number from the following sources:

We use this information to identify and contact businesses that may benefit from our services, and to maintain accurate records in our CRM system. Our lawful basis for this processing is Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR).

We may contact you by email, telephone, or SMS. Telephone numbers are screened against the Telephone Preference Service and Corporate Telephone Preference Service before any marketing call is made.
You have the right to object to this processing at any time. If you do, we will stop contacting you and remove your details from our systems. See Section 8 — Your Rights Under GDPR for details, or contact us using the details in Section 9 — Exercising Your Rights.
If we contact you using data sourced from a third party, we will inform you of the source at the point of first contact.

Supabase (Database & Authentication)
Used to store contact form submissions securely. Data processing complies with GDPR standards.
Resend (Email Service)
Used to send email notifications and confirmations. Only necessary contact information is shared.
Gumroad (Digital Product Checkout)
Where you purchase a PDF or other digital product, the transaction is handled by Gumroad, who acts as the merchant of record. Gumroad collects the information needed to process your payment, deliver the file, and meet their own tax and compliance obligations (such as name, email address, billing country, and payment details). ProsperaCore receives only limited order information (such as the product purchased and the buyer's email address) and does not receive full payment card details. Gumroad processes this data as an independent controller under their own terms. For details of how they handle buyer data, see the Gumroad Privacy Policy.
Brevo (Email Marketing)
We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), operated by Sendinblue SAS, a French company regulated under EU GDPR by the CNIL, to manage our mailing list and send marketing communications. Your name and email address may be stored on Brevo's servers, located within the European Union (France and Belgium). Brevo acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement. You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare protects this website from attacks and filters automated form submissions. It processes visitor IP addresses and browser information for that purpose. Cloudflare operates a global network, so this may take place outside the UK under its standard transfer safeguards.
Vercel
Vercel hosts this website. It processes visitor IP addresses and request logs in order to serve pages. Vercel is US-based and transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum.
MoreMins
Telephone and messaging services for the business number. Where a call or message is made to a customer, that number is handled by MoreMins under its own privacy policy, as MoreMins states that it acts as a data controller in its own right. Data is stored within the UK and EEA. See moremins.com/en/terms-privacy.
Stripe (Payment Processing)
We use Stripe to process payments securely. When you make a purchase, your payment details are submitted directly to Stripe and are not stored by us. Stripe is a US-based company and transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US and UK-US Data Privacy Frameworks. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/gb/privacy.
PayPal (Payment Processing)
We use PayPal as an alternative payment method. When you pay via PayPal, your transaction is processed directly by PayPal and subject to their privacy policy. PayPal is a US-based company and transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses. PayPal's privacy policy is available at paypal.com/uk/legalhub/privacy-full.
