Privacy Policy

Information you give us. When you submit the contact form, we collect the details you enter: your first and last name, email address, phone number, company, job title, and the contents of your message. If you subscribe to our updates, we collect the email address you provide.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server log data when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you view, referring pages, and the date and time of your request. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding aggregate traffic.

We do not ask for, and request that you do not send us, sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, financial account numbers, health information, or passwords through this website.

• To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about a potential or existing engagement
• To schedule and conduct consultations, assessments, and project work
• To send updates or written material you have asked to receive
• To send text messages about inquiries, scheduling, and project coordination, as described under SMS and text messaging below
• To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising purposes.

This website does not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics profiling. Any cookies set are strictly necessary for the site to function. If we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent first.

Your cookie choice. When you answer the cookie notice, we save your answer in one first-party cookie, ovalweb_cookie_consent, for up to 12 months. It records whether you allowed analytics cookies and when you chose, and nothing else. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. If we later add a category of cookie, we will ask you again.

We share personal information only in these circumstances:

• Service providers — vendors who host our website, deliver our email and text messages, or otherwise operate the site on our behalf, and who are permitted to use the information only to provide those services to us
• Legal requirements — when we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Ovalweb, our clients, or the public
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to the protections described in this policy

Ovalweb LLC (“Ovalweb”) may use SMS text messages to communicate with prospective and existing clients about inquiries, consultations, scheduling, project coordination, service updates, and other communications related to our services.

We may collect and process your mobile phone number, message content, communication history, and related consent or opt-out records to operate our messaging services, respond to inquiries, coordinate work, maintain records, and honor your communication preferences.

Consent and messaging preferences. Where required, Ovalweb obtains consent before sending text messages. Providing a phone number or contacting Ovalweb does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive unrelated promotional messages. Consent to receive promotional messages is separate from consent to receive service-related messages. You may withdraw your consent or opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP where supported.

Message frequency and charges. Message frequency varies depending on your interactions with Ovalweb and the services or communications you have requested. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.

Information sharing. SMS opt-in data, consent records, and mobile information collected for text messaging will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may share information with service providers that process messages on our behalf, solely as necessary to provide and support our messaging services and subject to appropriate restrictions. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Your choices. Reply STOP to a message to opt out of the applicable messaging program, or reply HELP for assistance where supported. You may also contact Ovalweb through our website to request assistance with your communication preferences.

Opting out of text messages does not prevent you from contacting Ovalweb through other available channels or affect unrelated services.

We keep contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and, where an engagement follows, for as long as necessary to serve you and to meet our legal, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or render it anonymous.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. To make a request, use the contact form. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in the footer of any message we send, and you can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP.

California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it, to request deletion or correction of that information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Ovalweb does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise a request, contact us at the address above; we may need to verify your identity before responding.

Our site may link to third-party websites we do not control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information.

This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be made clear on this page.

Questions about this policy or how we handle your information are welcome.
