Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Northwest VA Consulting LLC (“Northwest VA Consulting,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information gathered from visitors to our website. It also outlines the choices you have regarding your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Policy as well as our Terms of Use and any other applicable agreements.

If we make significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on our website. Continued use of the site after such changes means you accept the revised terms. If you do not agree with any updates, you should stop using the website and notify us that you do not want your information used under the revised policy.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

We collect information from users in three primary ways:

Information you voluntarily provide
Information collected through our server logs
Information gathered through cookies and similar technologies

We use this information to personalize your experience, deliver relevant resources, respond to inquiries, and improve our website and services. We do not share your information except as described in this Privacy Policy or when required by law.

A. Information You Provide Directly

When you fill out our contact form or interact with us via online chat, we may request personal details such as your name, phone number, and email address.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, financial account details, driver’s license numbers, or dates of birth. Providing such information is entirely at your own risk, and we are not responsible for any consequences of its submission.

We use the information you provide to:

Respond to your message or inquiry
Provide requested information
Communicate with you in the future (you may unsubscribe at any time)

Telephone Consent:
By providing your phone number, you agree that Northwest VA Consulting may contact you using that number, including via automated calls, text messages, or prerecorded messages. Your consent is not a requirement to purchase services.

B. Information Collected Through Web Server Logs

When you visit our website, our servers automatically record data related to your visit. This information helps us manage the site, improve performance, analyze usage, and enhance your experience.

Information collected may include:

Your IP address
Your internet service provider
Your city, state, or country location
Browser and device type
Date and time of your visit
Pages viewed and links clicked
Referring website
Search terms used on our site

This data is stored securely and used strictly for analytics and operational purposes.

C. Cookies and Do Not Track Signals

Our website may store cookies on your device. Cookies help us:

Recognize returning users
Save your preferences
Simplify website navigation
Improve your overall experience

We may track user activity across time and across different websites for analytical purposes.

Some browsers allow you to enable a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. We treat DNT signals as valid opt-out requests under California law. However, DNT preferences apply only to the device and browser where they are set. Because we do not maintain records connecting users to specific devices or IP addresses, you must submit a written request to exercise applicable rights regarding your customer data.

We may also use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which use cookies to collect additional usage information. Data collected by such vendors (including IP address and approximate location) is used solely to help us understand website performance and user behavior. This information is not used for direct marketing or cross-context behavioral advertising.

2. How We Protect Your Information

We use commercially reasonable security measures to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
However, no internet transmission is entirely secure. Any information you send to us electronically is transmitted at your own risk.

3. When Your Information May Be Shared

We do not sell, rent, or lease user data to third parties. Your information may only be shared in the following situations:

Service providers and contractors
We may share information with trusted vendors who assist us in operating our website or providing services on our behalf. These parties are required to keep your information confidential and use it solely for the purpose of performing services for us.
Referral situations
If we are unable to assist you but believe another professional (such as an unaffiliated consultant or attorney) may be able to help, we may refer your inquiry and share information you have provided.
Legal, safety, or business reasons
We may disclose information:
- When required by law or legal process
- To protect public safety or the rights of others
- In connection with business transfers (e.g., sale, merger, bankruptcy)
- When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property

We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and do not sell personal information.

4. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only. Once you leave our website, your activity is governed by the privacy policies of the site you visit. Northwest VA Consulting has no control over, and is not responsible for, third-party practices or policies.

5. Age Restrictions

Our website is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By using our site, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. Users under 13 are strictly prohibited from using our website or submitting any personal data. Parents or guardians may not consent on behalf of a minor under 13.

6. Accessing, Updating, or Deleting Your Information

You may contact us at any time to:

Request a copy of your information
Correct or update your data
Ask us to delete your data
Unsubscribe from future communications

You may do so using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy or through our website’s contact form.

7. Privacy Notice for California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under state law.

A. Shine the Light Act

California residents may request information about how we share certain categories of personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Requests must be sent to:

If you reside in California, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to delete personal information
Right to correct inaccurate personal information
Right to limit use of sensitive personal information
Right to opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising (we do not engage in this practice)
