Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 26, 2025

Introduction

Ethos Business Strategies Inc. (hereafter referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, or “the company”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors.

This Privacy Policy applies where we act as a data controller with respect to the personal data of visitors to ethosbusinessstrategies.com; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of processing that personal data.

Personal Data

How We Collect Your Personal Data

We collect personal data when you provide it to us directly — for example, when you:

Fill out contact forms
Subscribe to our email list
Interact with our chatbot or live chat system

Additionally, we automatically collect certain usage data through cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) when you browse our website.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We may process data about your use of our website ("usage data"). This may include your IP address, browser type, geographic location, pages visited, and duration of visit. This data is collected through analytics and tracking technologies and is used to understand website traffic and improve functionality.

We may process information you submit through contact forms or chatbots ("enquiry data"). This includes your name and email address and is processed so we can respond to inquiries, provide services, and send marketing emails (if you've opted in).

We may process information related to our client relationships ("customer relationship data"). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in maintaining proper communication and service delivery.

In some cases, we may also process your data for the purposes of legal compliance or in defense of legal claims. The legal basis for this processing is to protect our rights and comply with obligations.

Providing Your Personal Data to Others

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

However, we may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and business, including:

Google Analytics (analytics)
Tidio (live chat/chatbot)
Wix CRM (customer relationship management)
Calendly (scheduling)

These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it for the specific services they provide on our behalf.

Right to Erasure: In certain situations, you can request that your personal data be deleted.
Right to Restrict Processing: You may request we limit the use of your data in certain cases (e.g., contesting accuracy).
Right to Object: You can object to our use of your data for marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interests.
Right to Data Portability: You may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format to transmit to another controller.

Customer relationship data may be retained for up to 10 years following the end of a client relationship for record-keeping and legal defense purposes.

We may retain personal data beyond these periods where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect your or another person’s vital interests.
