Strategic SourceWorks Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Strategic SourceWorks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website and use our services.

1. Who we are

Strategic SourceWorks operates the website located at strategicsourceworks.com (the “Site”) and provides consulting and related professional services (the “Services”). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us using the details provided in the “Contact us” section below.

2. Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our Site or Services:

Contact information (such as name, email address, phone number, company name, job title) that you provide via forms, email, or scheduling tools.
Business information related to your company, products, or projects that you choose to share when inquiring about or engaging our Services.
Technical and usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, referring pages, and timestamps, typically collected via cookies, analytics tools, and server logs.
Marketing and communication preferences, including your subscription status for newsletters or updates.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it and it is necessary for a specific, clearly described purpose.

3. How we collect information

We collect information in several ways:

Directly from you when you fill out forms, request information, schedule meetings, sign up for emails, or otherwise communicate with us.
Automatically when you browse the Site, through cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies that help us understand how visitors use the Site.
From third-party services (such as analytics, scheduling, or CRM tools) that process information on our behalf when you interact with embedded forms or integrations.

You can choose not to provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to use some features of the Site or receive certain Services.

4. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

Providing, operating, and improving our Site and Services.
Responding to your inquiries, requests for proposals, or consultation requests.
Managing client relationships, engagements, and project communications.
Sending you updates, resources, or marketing communications consistent with your preferences and applicable law.
Monitoring and analyzing usage to maintain security, troubleshoot issues, and enhance the performance and user experience of the Site.
Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our terms, policies, and agreements.

We only process personal data where there is a legal basis to do so (for example, to perform a contract, to comply with law, with your consent, or for our legitimate business interests balanced against your rights).

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

Remember your preferences and improve your experience on the Site.
Understand how visitors interact with pages and content, using analytics tools.
Support basic site functionality and security.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and in some cases you may be able to opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

Service providers and vendors who perform functions on our behalf (such as website hosting, analytics, customer relationship management, email delivery, and scheduling tools), under contracts that require them to protect your information.
Professional advisors (such as lawyers, auditors, or insurers) as reasonably necessary for business, legal, or compliance purposes.
Authorities or other parties where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Successors or acquirers in the event of a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, to the extent permitted by law.

Any sharing is limited to what is reasonably necessary to fulfill the relevant purpose.

7. International transfers

Depending on where you are located and where our service providers operate, your information may be transferred to and stored in countries that may have different data protection laws than your home jurisdiction.

When required by applicable law (for example, under GDPR for EU/EEA residents), we will implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as using standard contractual clauses or other legally recognized mechanisms.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

The specific retention period may depend on the nature of the information and the context in which it is collected (for example, client records may be retained longer than casual contact form submissions).

9. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for taking appropriate precautions when using the Site and sharing information online.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which can include:

The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
The right to request deletion of your data, subject to legal or contractual obligations.
The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
The right to data portability, where applicable, to receive certain data in a structured, commonly used format.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the information in the “Contact us” section. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

If you receive marketing emails from us, you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us directly; we may still send you non-marketing messages related to ongoing engagements or important notices.

11. Third-party websites and services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, or services that are not operated or controlled by us.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or services. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you visit or use.

12. Children’s privacy

Our Site and Services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to delete such information as required by law.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and, where required by law, we will provide additional notice or seek your consent. Your continued use of the Site after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
