3. Confidentiality of Client Information

Our work may involve confidential executive, professional, and organizational information.

We treat such information with appropriate professional discretion and use it for the purposes of the engagement, subject to applicable agreements, legal requirements, and authorized disclosures.

Where a separate client agreement establishes confidentiality requirements, those provisions also govern the engagement.

We do not publish client-specific information, personal development findings, or confidential organizational materials without appropriate authorization, except where disclosure is legally required.

4. Executive Resumes and Submitted Documents

When you purchase an executive resume or positioning service, you may provide a resume, career history, and information about your professional objectives.

We use those materials to evaluate your professional positioning, prepare recommendations, and deliver the requested service.

Submitted documents may be handled through website forms, secure communication channels, and authorized service providers.

We do not use client resumes or personally identifiable professional information for public marketing without appropriate permission.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party services to operate our website, process payments, schedule appointments, collect information, communicate with clients, and deliver services.

Depending on the service, these providers may include website hosting, payment processing, online forms, scheduling, video conferencing, email, and cloud-based productivity services.

These providers may process information according to their applicable agreements and privacy policies.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy notices of third-party services they use.

6. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Tools

We may use digital productivity and AI-assisted tools to support research, content preparation, administrative activities, or professional services.

Where such tools are used, we seek to handle client information in a manner consistent with our confidentiality obligations, applicable agreements, and the purpose for which information was provided.

We do not represent AI-assisted analysis as a substitute for professional judgment.

Any engagement-specific requirements concerning confidential information or AI tools will be addressed in the applicable client agreement.

7. Information Security and Retention

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the information and services involved.

No electronic system or method of transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill legitimate business purposes, administer services, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, or maintain appropriate business records.

When information is no longer needed, we seek to delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it appropriately.

Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent necessary transactional or service-related communications.
