This Privacy Policy describes how Kevin Thompson Ph.D. Consulting ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit kevinthompsonphd.com (the "Site") or interact with our consulting and training services.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your information responsibly. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide Directly

When you fill in the Contact Form, request a consulting engagement, or enroll in a training class, we collect the information you submit, which typically includes:

• Your full name
• Email address
• Subject line and message body
• Any additional details you choose to include (company, role, project context, etc.)

When you browse the Site, we automatically log technical and usage information through our internal Visitor Analytics system, including:

• IP address and approximate geolocation
• Browser type, operating system, and device characteristics
• Pages visited, referring URL, and time spent on each page
• Date and time of access

c. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use a small number of cookies that are essential to the Site's operation, including a session cookie to maintain navigation state and a CSRF token cookie to protect form submissions. If enabled by the site administrator, third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics 4 or Google Tag Manager may also set cookies to provide aggregated visitor statistics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the Site may not function correctly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Responding to inquiries submitted through the Contact Form
• Delivering consulting, training, and advisory services that you request
• Sending follow-up correspondence related to your inquiry or engagement
• Improving the Site's content, performance, and usability
• Understanding aggregate visitor trends and the effectiveness of our materials
• Protecting the Site against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
• Complying with applicable legal obligations

3. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA / UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, the necessity to perform a contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, or to comply with a legal obligation.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who support our operations — such as web hosting, email delivery, and analytics — strictly to perform services on our behalf
• Professional advisors (legal, accounting, insurance) when reasonably necessary
• Authorities, where required by law, subpoena, or to protect our legal rights

5. Data Retention

We retain inquiry data for as long as needed to respond to your request and to maintain a record of our correspondence, typically up to 24 months from your last interaction. Aggregate analytics data may be retained longer in anonymized form.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please reach out through our Contact Us page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Data Security

We employ industry-standard technical and organizational measures — including TLS encryption in transit, hashed credentials at rest, and restricted administrative access — to protect your information. No method of transmission over the Internet is, however, 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a professional audience and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International Transfers

Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country of residence. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions whose data protection laws may differ from those of your home country.
