Your privacy is important to us.
Platform HR Consulting is an HR consulting firm based in Texas. We help small and mid-sized businesses including dealerships, multi-location employers, and growing companies build stronger HR practices through consulting services, digital resources, and educational content. Our website and services are intended for business professionals and organizations located primarily in the United States. Platform HR Consulting operates from Texas and serves clients across the country. When you visit our website, request a consultation, download a resource, or reach out to us in
any way, you may share some personal information with us. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we take care of it.
We believe privacy policies should be easy to understand not buried in complicated language. So we have written this one in plain English. By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We only collect information that helps us serve you better. Here is what we may collect and how we collect it.
When you fill out a form, request a consultation, download a resource, subscribe to our newsletter, or reach out to us, you may provide:
– Your name
– Email address
– Phone number
– Company name and business information
– Job title or role
– Details about your HR question or project
– Payment information for purchases handled entirely through secure third-party payment
processors; Platform HR Consulting does not store full payment card details on its own servers
When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through standard web technologies. This may include:
– Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
– Your general location (city or region — not your exact address)
– Device type, browser type, and operating system
– How you found our website (search engine, social media, referral link, etc.)
– Clicks, scrolling behavior, and other website interactions
This kind of information helps us understand what is working on our website and where we can make improvements. It does not personally identify you on its own.
If you download a free resource, register for a workshop, or sign up for our email list, we collect the information you provide in those forms. This typically includes your name, email address, and sometimes your company name or industry.
We use the information we collect to operate our business, serve our clients, and communicate with people who are interested in our services. Specifically, we may use your information to:
– Respond to your questions and consultation requests
– Provide HR consulting services, audits, and project support
– Process purchases and deliver digital products you have ordered
– Send you the resource, guide, or content you requested
– Follow up on a conversation or proposal
– Send email updates, newsletters, or educational content you opted into
– Improve our website, content, and services based on how visitors use them
– Manage client relationships and service delivery
– Comply with legal obligations when required
We only collect and use personal information when we have a legitimate reason to do so. This means we use your information when:
– You have voluntarily provided it to us for example, by filling out a contact form or
downloading a resource
– It is necessary to provide a service you requested such as delivering a digital product or
scheduling a consultation
– It supports a legitimate business purpose such as improving our website or managing
client communications
– We are required to do so by law or legal process
We do not collect more information than we need, and we do not use it for purposes beyond
what is described in this policy.
Cookies are small files that websites save to your browser. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and work properly.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
– To make the website function correctly
– To remember your preferences during a visit
– To understand website traffic patterns and visitor behavior
– To improve website performance and content
– To support tools like Google Analytics, scheduling platforms, and marketing integrations
We may use tools such as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager to understand how people use our website. These tools collect anonymous data about website traffic and usage. They do not collect your name or contact information unless you provide it separately.
We may also use tools such as:
– Calendly for consultation scheduling
– HubSpot or similar CRM platforms for managing client communications
– Mailchimp or ConvertKit for email marketing
– LinkedIn Insight Tag or Meta Pixel for advertising analytics
Each of these tools operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review those
policies if you have questions about how they handle your data.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. If you disable cookies, some parts of our website may not work as expected. When you first visit our website, you may see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or manage your preferences.
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to these signals. Our website may not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. We will update this policy if that changes. You can manage your privacy preferences directly through your browser settings or through our
cookie banner when available.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, download a free resource, or opt in to receive email updates, we will send you content related to HR, business operations, and our services. We only send marketing emails to people who have opted in. Every marketing email we send includes an easy, one-click option to unsubscribe. You can opt out at any time no questions asked.
– HR tips and best practices
– Updates on new resources, templates, or guides
– Information about consulting services and availability
– Announcements about digital products and tools
– Occasional invitations to workshops or educational content
If you have made a purchase or submitted a consultation request, we may send transactional emails such as order confirmations, receipts, or follow-up messages that are directly related to your request. These are not marketing emails and are sent regardless of your email preferences.
We share information only in limited situations that are necessary to operate our business or meet legal requirements:
Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers that help us run our business. These may include:
– Payment processors to securely handle billing and transactions
– Website hosting and technology providers to keep our website running
– Email marketing platforms to manage and send our communications
– Scheduling tools to manage consultation bookings
– CRM platforms to organize client information and communications
These providers are only given access to the information they need to do their job. They are expected to protect your information and use it only for the purpose we have engaged them for.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Platform HR Consulting, our clients, or others.
If Platform HR Consulting is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide reasonable notice before that happens and your information would continue to be protected under this policy or one that offers equivalent protections.
We take the security of your information seriously.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. These include secure website protocols, limited internal access to personal data, and use of reputable third-party platforms with their own security standards. That said, no website, platform, or internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee complete security of any information you transmit to us online. We encourage you to use good judgment when sharing information especially sensitive business or personal information. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us right away.
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed to:
– Respond to your inquiry or complete a service
– Maintain accurate business and client records
– Meet legal, tax, or operational obligations
– Support ongoing business relationships
When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us directly. We will honor reasonable requests, subject to any legal or operational requirements that may require us to retain certain records.
Our website, services, and content are designed for business professionals and are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take prompt steps
to remove it.
Our website may include links to external websites, tools, or platforms such as scheduling tools, payment processors, or educational resources.
Platform HR Consulting does not control these external websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices or content. When you click a link and leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external website before sharing
personal information with them.
You have rights when it comes to your personal information. Here is what you can request at any time:
Access
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy of it.
If information we have about you is inaccurate or out of date, you can ask us to update it.
You can ask us to delete your personal information. We will honor that request where we are not legally or operationally required to retain it.
You can stop receiving marketing emails from us at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at the end of this policy. We will respond promptly and in good faith.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights related to your personal information under state privacy laws. Many U.S. states have passed or are developing privacy legislation that gives consumers the right to:
– Know what personal information a business collects about them
– Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
– Request deletion of personal information
– Access and correct inaccurate information
– Non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights
Platform HR Consulting operates in Texas and serves clients across the United States. We are committed to respecting privacy rights to the extent applicable under the laws of your state. We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for targeted advertising
in ways that would trigger opt-out requirements under applicable state law. If you have a privacy request based on the laws of your state, please contact us and we will
respond in good faith.
Platform HR Consulting uses modern business tools including automation software, AIassisted platforms, CRM systems, and analytics tools to help us operate efficiently, improve
client communications, and deliver better services.
These tools may support things like:
– Organizing and responding to client inquiries
– Managing email marketing and follow-up communications
– Analyzing website traffic and visitor behavior
– Supporting content development and educational resources
– Streamlining internal HR operations and business workflows
We use these tools responsibly. Any AI-assisted or automated processes at Platform HR Consulting are reviewed and supported by a real person. We do not rely solely on automated systems to make decisions that affect you or your business. Information handled through these tools is subject to the same protections described throughout this Privacy Policy. We work only with reputable software providers and expect them to maintain reasonable privacy and security standards. If you have questions about the tools we use, feel free to reach out.
Platform HR Consulting is committed to making our website as easy to use and accessible as reasonably possible for all visitors. We aim to follow standard web accessibility principles where practical, and we continue working to improve the experience for all users including those using assistive technologies. If you experience any difficulty using our website, please contact us directly. We welcome accessibility feedback and will make reasonable efforts to address your concern promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our business evolves, technology changes, or legal requirements are updated. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after updates means you accept the revised policy. If we make significant changes, we may notify you by email (if you are on our list) or by a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you always know how your information is being used.
