SimQua is an independent website strategy consulting practice operated by Shaun Spence. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected and used when you visit simqua.com, contact SimQua, or interact with the website.
This policy is intended to be clear and practical. It should be reviewed by legal counsel before launch or before materially changing how the site collects or uses data.
Information Collected
SimQua may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, organization, website URL, project details, and any other information you include in a contact form or email.
The website may also collect limited technical and usage information through analytics and tag management tools, including pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, device and browser information, and interactions with links, forms, or calls to action.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to:
- Respond to inquiries and communicate about potential or active work.
- Understand how visitors use the website.
- Improve website content, navigation, performance, and measurement.
- Maintain basic security, reliability, and operational records.
- Comply with applicable legal, accounting, or business obligations.
Analytics, Cookies, and Similar Technologies
SimQua uses Google Tag Manager and may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand website activity and measure interactions. These tools may use cookies, tags, or similar technologies to collect usage information.
Contact and newsletter forms may be processed by a third-party form handling service so messages can be delivered reliably through the website form flow.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website measurement, but the core site should remain usable.
Sharing Information
SimQua does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the website, form handling, analytics, hosting, or business systems. These providers are expected to use information only as needed to provide their services.
Information may also be disclosed if required by law, to protect rights or security, or in connection with a business transfer if SimQua is ever reorganized, sold, or merged.
Contact Forms
If you submit a form, the information you provide is used to reply and evaluate whether SimQua can help. Please do not send sensitive personal, financial, health, or confidential business information through the website unless it is necessary and expected.
Data Retention
SimQua keeps inquiry and business communications for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including business records, legal obligations, and relationship history. Analytics data may be retained according to the settings of the analytics provider.
Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided through the contact form. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or business record purposes.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights. SimQua will respond to reasonable privacy requests as required by applicable law.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for business and organizational audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and SimQua does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
SimQua uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Third-Party Links
The site may link to third-party websites or services. SimQua is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third parties.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
