This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, retain, and share information when you visit our website, schedule a consultation, communicate with us, or use our consulting services.

By using this website, scheduling a consultation, or providing information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, business name, title or position, email address, phone number, business website, company information, certification goals, consultation details, and other information you choose to provide when contacting us, scheduling a consultation, or working with us.

If you become a consulting client, we may also receive business records, ownership documents, management information, operating records, financial materials, tax records, resumes, licenses, prior submissions, agency correspondence, certification-related documents, and other materials needed to evaluate or support your certification strategy, application preparation, certification response, reevaluation, or related consulting engagement.

We may also collect limited technical and website usage information automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, general location information, referral source, and interactions with our website. This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, tracking pixels, or similar technologies.

We use information to:

Respond to inquiries and consultation requests;
Schedule, confirm, and conduct consultations;
Evaluate whether our services may be appropriate for your business;
Provide certification consulting, application preparation, document review, strategic advisory, and related services;

Scheduling, Website Tools, and Third-Party Services

We may use third-party platforms and service providers to operate our website, schedule consultations, host meetings, process communications, manage documents, analyze website performance, support advertising, send email, prepare proposals, process payments, and support our business operations.

These services may include website hosting providers, scheduling platforms, analytics providers, advertising platforms, email providers, video meeting platforms, secure file-sharing tools, proposal platforms, payment processors, and administrative service providers.

When you use a third-party service, such as an online scheduling tool, payment processor, secure file-sharing platform, video meeting platform, or external website link, your use may also be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and terms.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These tools may help us understand which pages visitors view, which buttons are clicked, whether a consultation is scheduled, and how users arrive at the website. We may use this information to improve our services, website, advertising, and marketing.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share information only when reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide services, or comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, or contractual obligations. This may include sharing information with:

Service providers who assist with website hosting, scheduling, email, analytics, advertising, document management, video conferencing, payment processing, proposal management, or administrative functions;
Professional advisors, consultants, or other third parties, but only as authorized by the client or as reasonably necessary for the consulting engagement;
Certifying agencies, government agencies, third-party certification organizations, or related reviewing entities, but only as authorized by the client or as necessary for the consulting engagement;
Other parties when required by law, subpoena, court order, regulation, or legal process;
Parties involved in protecting our rights, property, safety, business operations, systems, or legal interests.

We may identify past or current clients, company names, business names, client contacts, titles, business websites, or general project categories as part of reference lists, business development materials, or professional experience summaries unless a client has requested confidentiality or expressly declined this use. We do not disclose sensitive financial information, personal narratives, confidential business records, agency correspondence, or detailed project materials as part of a reference list without authorization.

Client and Certification-Related Documents

Certification consulting may involve sensitive business, ownership, financial, operational, personal, or family-related information. Clients are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and truthful information.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information provided to us. These safeguards may include secure file-sharing tools, password protection, secure networks, secure VPN use, limited internal access, and efforts to minimize the use of unsecured email or text messages for sensitive attachments.

We generally encourage clients to upload sensitive documents through a secure file-sharing platform when available. If a client prefers to send documents by email or another method, the client accepts the risks associated with that communication method.

No website, email system, file-sharing platform, electronic storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Information About Minors

Our website and services are intended for business owners, company representatives, and adults seeking professional consulting services. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

Certification and business records may occasionally include information about family members, dependents, or individuals under the age of 18, especially when such information appears in tax records, ownership documents, financial records, legal documents, or other materials provided by a client. We do not intentionally use information about minors unless it is relevant to the consulting engagement, required for review, or included in materials the client provides for a legitimate business or certification purpose.

When we become aware that information about a minor is unnecessary for the engagement, we make reasonable efforts to minimize, redact, avoid using, or limit further disclosure of that information.

Payment Information

We may use third-party payment processors, proposal platforms, billing systems, or financial service providers to process payments, deposits, recurring payments, retainers, or invoices.

We do not intentionally retain credit card or payment card information unless it is necessary for an active engagement, recurring billing arrangement, monthly retainer, prepayment arrangement, or similar client-authorized payment structure. Payment information may also be maintained by third-party payment processors subject to their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms.

Email, Text, and Communications

If you contact us, schedule a consultation, or become a client, we may communicate with you by email, phone, video meeting, text message, secure file-sharing platform, or other reasonable business communication methods.

Because email and text messaging may not be appropriate for highly sensitive attachments, we may ask clients to use a secure upload method when sharing confidential or sensitive documents. Clients who choose to send sensitive materials by email, text, or another method accept the risks associated with that communication method.

You may ask us not to send marketing or promotional communications. However, we may still contact you regarding consultations, active engagements, invoices, legal notices, project communications, or other non-marketing business matters.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, manage business records, comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, contractual, or professional obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain appropriate documentation of consulting work.

HIT Executive Consulting may maintain archived client records, project records, business records, and reference information from prior engagements. Archived records may include records dating back to prior years, including records maintained for historical, business, legal, accounting, or professional documentation purposes. Archived client records are not used for unrelated client work.

When information is no longer needed for active business, legal, accounting, professional, or recordkeeping purposes, we may delete, archive, anonymize, or securely retain it in accordance with our business practices and applicable obligations.

Your Choices and Access to Information

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we maintain about you, subject to applicable legal, contractual, recordkeeping, accounting, professional, and business requirements.

You may also contact us to request that we stop using your name, company name, business name, contact information, or business website as part of a reference list or professional experience summary.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, certifying agencies, scheduling tools, press releases, resources, or other external content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party websites or platforms you use.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
