Privacy Policy

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the personal information that WTJ Consulting LLC collects through this website, through direct correspondence with our team, and through the delivery of our consulting services. It covers the homepage, the services page, the contact page and every subpage we operate under the wtjconsulting.buzz domain.

The policy does not apply to third party websites that we may link to, nor to software that our clients operate under their own privacy notices. When we work inside a client environment, the client remains the controller of its own data and our processing is governed by the written agreement between us.

By using this website you acknowledge that you have read this policy. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please discontinue use of the site and contact us so that we can address your concern directly.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is necessary to respond to enquiries, deliver services and keep records that the law requires. That information falls into a small number of categories.

Information you provide directly

• Your name, email address and telephone number when you write to us or submit the contact form.
• The content of your message, including any project detail, timeline or technical constraint you choose to describe.
• Business details such as your organisation name, role, address and billing information when an engagement begins.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data such as browser type, device type, operating system, screen size and language preference.
• Network data such as the internet protocol address from which a request arrives and the general region associated with that address.
• Usage data such as the pages viewed, the time spent on each page and the link that brought you to the site.

Information from client engagements

• System inventories, configuration records and architecture documents that clients share with us for the purpose of the work.
• Log extracts and diagnostic data that clients provide for troubleshooting, review or migration planning.

We do not seek sensitive categories of personal information such as health data, political opinions, religious beliefs or biometric identifiers, and we ask that you do not send such information to us through this website.

3. How Information Reaches Us

Most of the information we hold arrives because someone deliberately sent it to us. You may write to our contact email address, complete the consultation form, call the office number, or exchange messages during the course of a project.

A second source is automatic collection by the web server and analytics tooling described in this policy. When your browser requests a page, the server records the request in a standard access log. This happens on nearly every website and is used for security, reliability and aggregate measurement.

A third source is our clients. During an engagement a client may share records that contain personal information about that client staff, customers or suppliers. We handle such records strictly for the purpose of the engagement and under the terms of our agreement with the client.

4. Why We Use Information

We use personal information for the following purposes, each of which is tied to a legitimate operational need.

• To respond to enquiries and provide the information a prospective client requests.
• To prepare proposals, statements of work and engagement plans.
• To deliver, support and improve the consulting services we provide.
• To maintain accounting, tax and contractual records that the law requires us to keep.
• To protect the website, our network and our clients from fraud, abuse and security incidents.
• To understand in aggregate how visitors use the website so that the content and navigation can be improved.
• To send service updates and occasional practice news to people who have asked to receive them.

We do not sell personal information. We do not rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Lawful Bases for Processing

Where data protection law requires us to identify a lawful basis, we rely on the following grounds.

• Contract. Processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract, or to perform a contract we have already entered with you or your organisation.
• Legitimate interests. Processing supports our legitimate interests in operating a professional practice, responding to enquiries, securing our systems and improving our services, balanced against your rights and expectations.
• Legal obligation. Processing is necessary to comply with tax, accounting, record keeping and other statutory duties.
• Consent. Where we ask for specific permission, for example to send optional practice news, we rely on the consent you give and you may withdraw it at any time.

When we process personal information on behalf of a client, the client determines the lawful basis and we act on documented instructions.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website is deliberately light on tracking technology. We use only the small number of cookies and local storage entries that are needed for the site to function correctly and to remember basic preferences such as whether a visitor has opened the mobile navigation.

Functional cookies do not identify you personally. They expire when your browser session ends or after a short fixed period. We do not set advertising cookies, we do not operate cross site behavioural tracking, and we do not permit third party advertising networks to profile visitors on this site.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking functional cookies may cause parts of the site, such as the mobile navigation state, to behave differently, but the core content remains readable without them.

7. Website Measurement

We review aggregate statistics about website traffic in order to understand which pages are useful and where visitors encounter difficulty. The measurements we keep are counts and durations rather than profiles of identifiable individuals.

Where measurement tooling records internet protocol addresses, those addresses are retained only for the short period necessary to calculate aggregate figures and to detect abusive traffic. We do not attempt to link browsing activity on this website to a named individual unless that individual has contacted us and we need to investigate a security event.

Server access logs are kept for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes, after which they are deleted or overwritten in the normal course of operation.

8. How We Share Information

We disclose personal information only in the limited circumstances described below.

• Service providers. We share information with vetted providers who support our operations, such as email hosting, cloud hosting, accounting and professional advisory services, and only to the extent needed for them to perform their function.
• Client direction. When an engagement requires it, and always under a written agreement, we may share project information with named client contacts and authorised client systems.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, court order or a binding regulatory request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of WTJ Consulting LLC, our clients or the public.
• Business transfers. If the practice is ever reorganised, merged or transferred, information may move to the successor entity under terms that continue to protect it.

Every disclosure is limited to the minimum information needed for the stated purpose.

9. Service Providers and Subprocessors

Like most professional practices, we rely on a small set of specialist providers. Each provider is selected for its security posture and is bound by a written agreement that restricts it to processing data on our instructions.

Categories of provider include web and email hosting, infrastructure monitoring, secure file storage, electronic signature and accounting platforms. Where a provider engages its own subprocessors, we require that equivalent obligations flow down to those parties.

We review our provider list periodically and remove providers that no longer meet our standards. Clients with specific supply chain requirements may ask us for the current list relevant to their engagement.

10. International Data Transfers

WTJ Consulting LLC operates from the United States. Information that you send to us will therefore be processed in the United States, which may have data protection rules that differ from those in your country.

Where we transfer personal information from a jurisdiction that restricts such transfers, we put appropriate safeguards in place. Those safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, a documented transfer impact assessment, or another mechanism recognised by the relevant regulator.

You may contact us for further detail about the safeguards that apply to a specific transfer, and we will provide the information in writing within a reasonable period.

11. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as it serves the purpose for which it was collected, or as long as the law requires. Retention periods differ by category.

• Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are generally kept for up to twenty four months so that we can continue a conversation if it resumes.
• Contract and engagement records are kept for the duration of the relationship and for a further period needed to satisfy accounting, tax and limitation obligations.
• Security and access logs are kept for a short operational window and then deleted or aggregated.
• Marketing contact details are kept until consent is withdrawn or the contact becomes inactive.

When a retention period ends, information is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where deletion is not immediately possible because data is held in an encrypted archive or backup, the information remains protected and is deleted when the archive cycle completes.

12. How We Protect Information

Because we design secure systems for a living, we apply the same discipline to our own practice. Safeguards include encryption in transit using current transport security, encryption of sensitive stores at rest, role based access control with least privilege, multi factor authentication for administrative accounts, and regular review of access rights.

We log administrative activity, maintain tested backups and follow a documented incident response process. Staff and contractors receive privacy and security training and are bound by confidentiality obligations that survive the end of their engagement.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and any relevant regulator as required by applicable law, and we will describe the nature of the event and the steps we are taking in response.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may hold some or all of the following rights in relation to your personal information.

• The right to know whether we hold information about you and to receive a copy of it.
• The right to have inaccurate information corrected.
• The right to have information deleted where there is no continuing lawful reason for us to keep it.
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing, including processing for direct marketing.
• The right to receive information in a portable format or to have it transmitted to another organisation.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• The right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your country or region.

To exercise a right, write to hello@wtjconsulting.buzz or call +15415838781. We will verify your identity before acting and will respond within the period required by applicable law, which is usually thirty days. Exercising a right will never result in discriminatory treatment or a reduction in service quality.

14. Privacy for Children

This website and our services are intended for business and professional audiences. They are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of sixteen.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can delete the information promptly. If we learn that we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to remove it from our systems.

15. Client and Project Data

Much of the technical material we handle during an engagement belongs to our clients. Configuration records, log extracts, source code, architecture documents and test data are treated as confidential client assets.

We use this material only to perform the agreed work, we restrict access to engineers who need it, and we return or securely destroy it at the end of the engagement according to the terms of the written agreement. Where a client requires processing in a specific region or under specific contractual clauses, we accommodate that requirement in the statement of work.

When our consulting review uncovers a potential security or privacy issue, we report it to the client promptly and in good faith, with enough detail for the client to assess and act.

16. Communications and Marketing

We send service messages that are necessary to deliver an engagement, and we send occasional practice news to people who have asked to receive it. Service messages are not marketing and cannot be unsubscribed while an engagement is active.

Marketing messages always identify WTJ Consulting LLC, always include a simple way to stop receiving them, and never share your address with unrelated third parties. You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a message, by writing to hello@wtjconsulting.buzz, or by calling +15415838781.

17. Third Party Websites

This website may link to external resources that we believe are useful to visitors. Those websites operate under their own privacy notices and their own security practices, and we do not control them.

We encourage you to read the privacy notice of any external site before providing personal information. A link from our site does not imply that we endorse the privacy practices of the destination.

18. Changes to This Policy

We review this policy at least once a year and whenever our practices change in a material way. When a change is significant, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a notice on the homepage.

Continued use of the website after a revised policy takes effect indicates that you accept the revision. If a change is substantial and affects how we use information you have already provided, we will seek your consent where the law requires it.
