We collect information to provide, improve, protect, and customize our services.

Information You Provide Directly. When you fill out our contact form, send us an email, request a consultation, subscribe to our mailing list, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide. This may include your full name, email address, telephone number, company name, job title, industry, and any additional information you include in your message or inquiry. We use this information exclusively to respond to your request, provide the services you have asked about, and maintain accurate records of our communications for quality assurance and client service purposes.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We employ both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the performance and functionality of our website.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under applicable data protection frameworks, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable:

• Consent. You have provided clear, informed consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as opting in to marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
• Contractual Necessity. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as preparing a service proposal or statement of work based on your project requirements.
• Legal Obligation. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, including tax reporting, record retention, and responses to valid legal process or government requests.
• Legitimate Interests. Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a third party, including operating and improving our services, ensuring network and information security, and conducting ordinary business operations, provided that such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for any purpose, including advertising or marketing. We may disclose your information only in the following limited circumstances, each with contractual and technical safeguards in place:

• Service Providers. We may engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as web hosting, email delivery, analytics, and customer relationship management. These service providers are granted access to personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their designated functions and are contractually bound to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of your data. They are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us and are subject to data processing agreements that comply with applicable privacy laws.
• Legal Compliance. We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. Where permitted, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosure in advance.
• Business Transactions. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or bankruptcy involving Cor Consulting LLC, your personal information may be transferred or assigned as part of that transaction. We will provide notice of any change in ownership or control and will outline your choices regarding your information through a prominent notice on our website.
• Protection of Rights and Safety. We may disclose your information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
• With Your Consent. We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit, informed consent obtained in advance in writing.
• Aggregated and De-Identified Data. We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you for research, analytics, business reporting, and marketing purposes.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States where Cor Consulting LLC is domiciled and where our service providers may operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home jurisdiction. When we transfer your personal data across international borders, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable legal requirements. These safeguards include entering into standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities, verifying that recipient organizations maintain adequate data protection measures through due diligence, and ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy frameworks and certifications.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or regulatory reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period for specific categories of data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements. Specific retention periods vary by data category: contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained for a period of twelve months following the resolution of the associated inquiry; service-related records and project documentation are retained for the duration of the business relationship plus six years as required by applicable commercial laws and statutes of limitation; website analytics data is retained in de-identified form for a period of twenty-six months; and billing and financial records are retained for seven years as required by federal and state tax laws. After the applicable retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted, destroyed, or irreversibly anonymized.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws:

• Right to Know and Access. You have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share the information.
• Right to Rectification. You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the data we maintain.
• Right to Deletion. You may request that we delete any personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions such as completing transactions, detecting security incidents, complying with legal obligations, or exercising free speech rights. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law.
• Right to Restrict Processing. You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances, including when you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful and you oppose deletion, or you have objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds.
• Right to Data Portability. You may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance where technically feasible.
• Right to Object. You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time, or on grounds relating to your particular situation for other processing purposes based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide you with the right to opt out.
• Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights, including by denying services, charging different prices or rates, or providing a different level or quality of service.
• Right to Withdraw Consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe our processing of your personal data violates applicable privacy laws.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at care@coreconsult.buzz.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to protect your privacy and security. We will not charge a fee for exercising your rights unless your request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

Data Security

We implement and maintain reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include encryption of data in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 and 1.3 protocols, secure server infrastructure protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems, regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning, strict access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis for legitimate business purposes, mandatory employee training on data protection and information security policies and procedures, written incident response and breach notification plans, and regular data backups stored in secure, geographically separate locations. While we employ commercially reasonable measures to safeguard your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements without undue delay.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data without verifiable parental consent, we will take prompt and appropriate steps to delete that information from our systems as soon as reasonably practicable. If you are a parent or guardian who believes that your child may have provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at care@coreconsult.buzz so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
