Privacy Policy

Last updated October 25, 2026

The Private Island Business Platform ("the platform", "we", "us") is a set of business coaching tools run by The GrowthPro. This policy explains what information the platform keeps, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, username, email address and password (stored only as a secure hash).
• What you put into the tools: business profiles, goals, plans, notes, answers and files you upload, such as financial statements.
• Usage records: which tools you open and when, so your coach or account owner can follow your progress.
• Billing details: if you subscribe, payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

How we use it

We use your information only to run the tools for you: to save your work, to produce reports and exports, to let the people on your account (your team or your coach) see the work you share with them, and to contact you about your account. We do not sell your information and we do not use it for advertising.

AI processing

Several tools send the text you enter to an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) to draft suggestions and reports. That text is sent only to produce the answer you asked for.

Google account data

You can choose to connect a Google account. If you do, the platform asks Google for:

• Your email address, to show which Google account is connected.
• Access to Google Drive files the platform creates (the drive.file permission), so it can save your reports as Google Docs in your Drive. It cannot see or change any other file in your Drive.
• Permission to send email (the gmail.send permission), only if you separately turn on sending mail from your own Gmail. The platform uses it only to send the messages you ask it to send. It cannot read your inbox.

Google data is used only to provide these features to you. It is not sold, not used for advertising, not shared with anyone except as needed to provide the feature, and not used to train AI models. The platform's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can disconnect Google at any time from My Account on the platform, or from your Google account's security settings. When you disconnect, the platform deletes its stored access to your Google account.

Who processes data for us

We use a small number of service providers to run the platform: Render (hosting), Neon (database), Anthropic (AI), Google (Docs export and email sending), Twilio (WhatsApp messages you choose to send) and Stripe (payments). Each receives only what it needs to do its job.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your information while your account is open. You can delete individual records inside each tool. To close your account and have your data deleted, email ajacks@thegrowthpro.ca.

Security

The platform is served over HTTPS, passwords are hashed, and stored access to connected accounts is encrypted.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions? Email ajacks@thegrowthpro.ca.
