This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to visitors, clients, and prospective clients. A privacy policy should accurately describe what personal information is collected, how it is used, how it is shared, how it is protected, and how updates will be communicated.

Accelerate Change uses personal information only for legitimate business purposes consistent with the context in which the information was provided and should avoid making privacy promises that are not reflected in actual business practice.

Accelerate Change does not sell personal information.

Personal information may be shared only in the following limited situations:

Service providers: with trusted third-party vendors that help operate the website or business, such as website hosting providers, analytics providers, scheduling tools, email platforms, payment processors, cloud storage providers, or professional advisors, but only as needed for business operations.

Cookies and Tracking

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality, measure traffic, and improve user experience. If analytics or advertising tools are used, those tools may collect data about browsing behavior and device interactions over time.

Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings. If certain tracking technologies are in use, Accelerate Change may also present a cookie banner or consent mechanism when required by applicable law.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the relationship, the sensitivity of the information, and legal or operational requirements.

Data Security

Accelerate Change takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Privacy and security representations should match actual practices, and businesses are expected to maintain security appropriate to the nature of the data they hold.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
