Communitology (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a US-based consulting firm committed to responsible, ethical practice. We take the privacy of the individuals who interact with us seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit www.communitology.co or contact us for consulting, immigration, or strategy and planning services.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, and organization when you submit a contact form or reach out to us directly.
  • Service Inquiry Details: Information you provide about the type of services you are interested in and your timeframe, as submitted through our contact form.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, including pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, and IP address, collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools.
  • Communications: Any correspondence you send to us via email or through the website contact form.
    We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, immigration status, or biometric data) through our website. If you engage us for consulting or immigration services, any sensitive information shared in the course of that engagement is handled under a separate client agreement and applicable professional standards.

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our services;
  • Provide consulting, immigration expertise, and strategy and planning services;
  • Understand and improve our website and user experience;
  • Comply with legal obligations;
  • Protect the security and integrity of our website and business operations.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (for EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing your personal information include: your consent (where provided), the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request, compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics data. Cookies may include:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly (e.g., WordPress session cookies).
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., page views, referral sources). We may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers: Trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business (e.g., web hosting, email platforms), who are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential;
  • Legal authorities: When required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Communitology or others;
  • Professional partners: In the course of delivering consulting services, and only with your explicit knowledge and consent.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Contact form submissions and email correspondence are typically retained for up to 3 years, unless an ongoing client relationship requires longer retention.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website is hosted on a secure platform and uses HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
