Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Emerald Career Consulting LLC ("ECC," "Emerald," "we," or "us") may collect, use, store, and protect information submitted through emeraldcareerconsulting.com and related website forms or communications.

Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily submit through inquiry forms, newsletter signup forms, contact forms, emails, consultations, service-related communications, and other interactions with ECC.

Depending on the form or request, this may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, role, career or workforce information, event details, budget or procurement information, message content, and materials you choose to share with us.

Information Collected Automatically

The website may collect limited technical information, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, and similar usage information through hosting, security, analytics, or performance tools.

How Information May Be Used

We may use information to respond to inquiries, evaluate fit and scope, provide requested services, manage client or prospective-client communications, send communications you requested, maintain business records, improve website performance, protect website security, and support ECC operations.

Inquiry Forms and Service Requests

Submitting an inquiry does not create a client relationship, reserve availability, or require ECC to accept an engagement. Information submitted through inquiry forms may be reviewed to determine the appropriate next step, including whether additional information, a consultation, a proposal, an agreement, a Statement of Work, or payment is needed.

Email Communications and The Notes

If you subscribe to The Notes or another ECC communication, we may use your email address to send the requested communication. You may unsubscribe using the method provided in those messages. Transactional, administrative, or service-related communications may still be sent when necessary.

Service Providers and Business Systems

We may use third-party service providers to support website hosting, domain management, forms, email, cloud storage, payment processing, scheduling, analytics, security, and other business functions. These providers may process information as needed to provide their services to ECC.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand website use, improve performance, protect security, and support communications. Browser settings may allow you to limit or block certain cookies.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for business, legal, operational, recordkeeping, and service-related purposes. We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information handled, but no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may choose not to submit a form, may unsubscribe from marketing communications, and may contact ECC with questions about information you previously submitted. Additional rights may apply depending on where you live and the laws that apply.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13. If a school, parent, guardian, or organization contacts ECC about educational programming, the information submitted should be provided by an authorized adult or institution.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, services, technology, or legal requirements change. The posted date shows when this page was last updated.
