Please note. This page is an initial draft written in plain language for general information. It is not legal advice. Empower Consulting Firm recommends review by a qualified attorney before this document is relied on as final.
Who we are
Empower Consulting Firm is a salon business consulting and digital marketing firm based in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. For the purposes of this policy, we are the party responsible for personal information collected through this website.
Information we collect
We collect limited information:
- Information you give us. When you call, email, or send an enquiry, we receive the details you choose to provide, such as your name, business name, email address, phone number, and message.
- Technical information. Our hosting provider may automatically record standard server log data such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of visit, for security and operation of the site.
- Fonts. This website loads typefaces from Google Fonts. Your browser contacts Google's servers to retrieve them, which involves sharing your IP address with Google.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store the email address you enter, the date, and the page you subscribed from. The address is saved on our own website hosting account and a notice of the new subscription is emailed to our team. We use it only to send you our newsletter. We do not sell or share the list. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any newsletter or by emailing Aman@empowerconsultingfirm.com, and we will remove your address.
Contact form
At the time of this policy, the contact form on this website does not transmit your details to our servers. It prepares a draft message in your own email application, and nothing is sent to us until you choose to send that email. If we later connect the form to a form processing service, this policy will be updated to name that service and describe how your information is handled.
Analytics and advertising tools
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed and roughly where visitors are located. Google Analytics is loaded only if you select Accept on the cookie notice. It then sets cookies in your browser and sends usage data, including your IP address, to Google. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page. We use this information in aggregate to improve the website. We do not use advertising pixels. See our Cache & Cookies Policy for how to control these cookies.
How we use information
We use the information you provide to:
- respond to your enquiry and arrange consultations;
- prepare proposals and deliver services you request;
- keep records of our communications;
- maintain the security and proper functioning of the website;
- comply with legal obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate our business, such as email, hosting, and scheduling providers, and only as needed for those purposes. We may disclose information where required by law.
Retention
We keep enquiry and client information for as long as needed for the purposes described above and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information in our possession. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct or delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time.
International visitors
We are based in the United States and serve clients worldwide. If you contact us from another country, your information will be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Children
This website is intended for business owners and professionals. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows the latest revision.
