3. No Professional Advice via Website
Information submitted through this website does not create a client relationship and will not be treated as confidential or privileged until a formal engagement is established.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with:
- Service providers (hosting, analytics, contact and scheduling tools, email and text messaging providers)
- Advertising platforms, such as Meta, as described in Section 8
- Legal authorities if required by law
Some state laws treat sharing information with advertising platforms as "sharing" or "sale" for targeted advertising. You can opt out as described in Sections 7 and 8. We do not send your survey answers, including your revenue range, to advertising platforms.
Text messaging: No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text message opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except the aggregators and providers that deliver our text messages.

We retain personal data as long as necessary for business or legal purposes. We keep records of your consent choices for as long as we need them to show that consent was given.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your state, you may have rights under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws, including:
- Right to access personal data
- Right to request deletion
- Right to opt out of sale, or of sharing for targeted advertising (if applicable)
- Right to withdraw consent for future communications, including text messages (reply STOP)
To use these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13.
8. Cookies, Tracking and Advertising
We may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our pages and to measure and improve our advertising. These include the Meta Pixel and Meta's Conversions API.
If you agree on our forms, we may send limited information to Meta when you submit a form, such as a scrambled (hashed) version of your email address or phone number and the fact that you submitted the form. We do not send your survey answers, including revenue information.
The advertising box on our forms is optional. If you leave it unticked, we do not send your information to advertising platforms through the form. You can also manage cookies in your browser and your ad settings in your Meta account.
