We do not disclose information submitted for consultation or advisory purposes to third parties for their independent marketing use.

4. Advisory and Consultation Inquiries

Information submitted through an inquiry form is used to evaluate and respond to a potential engagement. We take reasonable steps to limit access to inquiry information. However, submitting information through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship, therapist-client relationship, professional privilege, fiduciary relationship, or formal consulting relationship. No website transmission or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Do not submit highly sensitive, legally privileged, medical, or employee-identifying information through the Site. If a matter may involve significant legal exposure, you should consult qualified legal counsel.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use necessary, functional, analytics, and performance cookies or similar technologies. These technologies may be used to:

  • Operate the Site

  • Maintain Site security

  • Remember visitor preferences

  • Understand Site traffic and usage

  • Determine how visitors find and interact with content

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of pages and calls to action

Squarespace may place cookies and collect visitor information to operate the Site and provide analytics. Other integrated services may place their own cookies or collect information according to their respective privacy policies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the Site’s cookie-consent controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

6. Email Communications

If you request a resource, complete The Experience Check™, or subscribe to receive communications, we may send:

  • The material you requested

  • Instructions related to that material

  • Relevant follow-up information

  • Leadership insights, articles, or business updates

  • Information about services that may relate to your stated interests

Marketing emails will include an unsubscribe option. You may unsubscribe at any time. Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from responding to an inquiry, delivering a requested resource, or communicating about an existing business relationship. Substack subscriptions may also be governed by Substack’s privacy policy and account settings.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • Responding to inquiries

  • Evaluating or administering potential engagements

  • Protecting legal rights

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, why it was collected, and applicable legal or business requirements. When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No website, email transmission, or electronic-storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using appropriate care when deciding what information to submit electronically.
