Thank you for visiting our website! Protecting your personal information is important to us. This privacy policy (Policy) describes the privacy practices for the Yancey Consulting (“YC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) website located at www.yanceyconsulting.com and explains what information about—or otherwise related to—you we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. By using our website, you are accepting the terms described in our Policy. Please do not use the website if you disagree with the Policy terms.

What information we collect about you

We may collect information about you including:   

• Information that identifies or reasonably identifies you personally, including your name, mailing address, email address, telephone or mobile number, or any other information that identifies or can reasonably identify you personally (“personal information”)

• Information about you but does not identify who you are personally (“non-personal information”)

How we collect information about you

We may collect information about you in several ways:

• Directly from you: When you contact us by email, by phone, through our website or other means, we may collect personal information you choose to provide to us directly.

• Automatically as you navigate through the website: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect non-personal information, including information linked to your computer or other technological device. This non-personal information may include your internet protocol (IP) address, the type of browser or device used, website usage details, and other information collected through browser cookies.  

• From third parties: We may receive your personal information from third parties, including your organization or company, publicly available sources, and third-party analytics providers. For example, we may receive your personal data if someone at your organization designates you as a contact person for that organization or otherwise shares your information in relation to engaging or inquiring about our work. 

How we use the information we collect

We may use and process the information we collect from and about you for several purposes, including: 

• to respond to your inquiries and provide information you request from us

• to send you email newsletters, mailings, and other information related to YC and our work 
• as necessary or permitted to comply with our legal obligations 
• as necessary or permitted to run our business and fulfill our mission 
• for other purposes shared at the time of collection

We will only use and process your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably determine that we need to use it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose(s) and/or as required or permitted by law.  

Sharing your information with others

We don’t give, sell, trade, license, or otherwise share your personal information to any third parties except as described below:

• Service providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who need to use the information to perform administrative, operational, and logistical services and activities on our behalf.  Those services may include website hosting, email delivery, information technology services, and data management, among other services. We permit such third-party providers to use your information only as necessary to provide the applicable services to us in the normal course of business. 

• Legal requirements. We may use or disclose your personal information as we reasonably believe required or permitted by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes.

Data Security

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warranty the security of any information you may transmit to us. This transmission is done at your own risk, and we shall not be liable for data breaches due to causes outside of our control. Once we do receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, and third parties who need to know that information to provide services to us and to you.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to sites owned, managed, or otherwise controlled by third parties. We do not control those third-party sites and are not responsible for their privacy policies and practices. We encourage you to refer directly to the privacy policies and practices of those sites to find out how they collect and use your information.

Changes to our Policy

We may amend our Policy from time to time and will indicate the date of the last update at the top of the website page.  The information we gather is based on the Policy in effect and posted at the time we collect the information.
