Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when requesting information, completing a questionnaire, contacting us, or communicating with EDG. This may include:

• Your name, email address, telephone number, preferred contact method, and website.
• Your business or organization name, industry, workforce information, and requested services.
• Information about a workplace, employment, professional-development, or mentorship concern.
• Your communication preferences and consent choices for email or text-message updates.
• Technical information that may be collected automatically, such as browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and general website-usage information.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, banking information, passwords, full dates of birth, or unnecessary medical information through a general website form.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Respond to questions and consultation requests.
• Evaluate requested services, prepare recommendations, and develop pricing or a proposed scope of work.
• Provide consulting, mentorship, workplace-process, document, or correspondence support.
• Schedule meetings and communicate about an inquiry or active engagement.
• Send informational or marketing communications when permission has been provided.
• Operate, secure, analyze, and improve our website and services.
• Comply with applicable legal requirements and protect EDG, our clients, and others.

Submitting information through the website does not create a consultant-client relationship or guarantee that EDG will accept an engagement.

Email and Text Communications

You may choose whether to receive promotional or informational updates by email or text message. Consent to marketing communications is not required to request or purchase services.

If you elect to receive text messages, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to opt out of recurring text messages and HELP for assistance. You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the instructions provided in the message or by contacting us.

We may still send non-marketing communications that are reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, schedule a requested consultation, provide an active service, or address an administrative matter.

How We Share Information

EDG does not sell personal information. We may share information only as reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate the website, securely process forms, manage communications, schedule appointments, analyze website activity, or provide contracted business services. These providers may use information only for the services they perform for EDG or as otherwise permitted by law.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business reorganization or transfer.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website or hosting providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand visits, and measure website performance. Browser settings may allow you to limit or block cookies, although some site features may not function properly as a result.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect the information entrusted to us. No website, email system, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal or contractual obligations. Information that is no longer needed will be deleted or securely disposed of when reasonably practicable.

Youth Privacy

Individuals who are 13 years of age or older may submit a website inquiry. EDG may offer mentorship services for younger youth; however, this website is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13. A parent or legal guardian must submit website inquiries on behalf of a child under 13. If we learn that personal information was submitted directly by a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Information and consent requirements for a youth mentorship engagement may be provided directly to the parent or legal guardian through a separate intake process.

Your Choices and Requests

You may contact EDG to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted, subject to legal, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements. You may also update your communication preferences or withdraw marketing consent at any time.

External Links

Our website may contain links to services or websites operated by others. EDG is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party websites, and their policies apply when you use their services.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our services, website, or legal obligations change. The revised effective date will appear at the top of this page.
