How your information is handled.

Plumb collects information in two ways: what you type into the inquiry form, and a small amount of technical information gathered automatically to keep that form from being abused.

Submitted voluntarily. Name, email address, organization, role, the category and timing you select for the inquiry, and the message you write. Organization, role, category, and timing are optional; the rest is needed to reply to you.

Collected automatically. General browser type, an approximate country derived from your connection, and a one-way hashed identifier used only to detect and limit repeated automated submissions from the same source. That identifier is generated from your connection information combined with a private value Plumb controls; it cannot be reversed back into an IP address or used to identify you personally, and it is not linked to any other tracking.

What you submit is used to:

• Read and reply to your inquiry, and evaluate whether Plumb is a good fit for the situation you describe.
• Detect and rate-limit automated or abusive submissions, using the technical information described above.
• Keep an appropriate business record of inquiries received, consistent with the retention approach below.

Information submitted through the form is not used for advertising, and is not combined with any other profile Plumb might hold about you.

Three providers are involved in running this site and handling an inquiry once it is sent:

• Cloudflare hosts the site and stores submitted inquiries.
• Resend delivers the email notification that a new inquiry has arrived.
• Google Workspace is where that notification, and any reply to you, is read and sent from.

Plumb does not sell personal information, and does not share it with anyone beyond the providers above and, where an engagement proceeds, the terms agreed with you directly.

This site does not currently use advertising cookies or behavioral-advertising tracking of any kind, and there is no cookie consent banner because there is nothing nonessential to consent to. If that changes, this page will be updated first.

Inquiry records are kept only as long as reasonably needed to follow up with you, maintain an appropriate business record, protect the form against abuse, and meet any legal or accounting obligation that applies. There is no fixed schedule beyond that judgment.
