Welcome to Chown Consulting Services (“CCS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the information you provide through our website (https://chownconsult.com) (the “Site”) and related services.

By using the Site or providing us information, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes, including but not limited to:

• Providing, operating, and maintaining our services

• Improving, customizing, and optimizing the Site (e.g. content, layout)

• Sending you newsletters, updates, or marketing communications (if you agree)

• Managing relationships, communications, and client contact

• Complying with legal obligations

• Fraud prevention and security

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected (unless you consent to other uses).

3. Legal Basis (where applicable)

Where privacy regulations (such as GDPR or similar) apply, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases to process your personal data:

• Your consent (you explicitly agree)

• Performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering a contract

• Our legitimate interests (e.g., improving services, marketing, operational needs), provided your rights are respected

• Compliance with legal obligations

4. Sharing / Disclosure of Information

Your information may be shared or disclosed in the following cases:

• To service providers, contractors, or vendors who help us operate the Site, perform services, or assist with business operations (they are required to protect your data)

• When required by law (court orders, subpoenas, regulatory authorities)

• To enforce our Terms of Service, or protect rights, property or safety of CCS, its users, or the public

• In an aggregated or anonymized form (so your identity is not identifiable)

• In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets (with data transferred under confidentiality)

We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

Factors we consider include:

• The nature and sensitivity of the information

• The purposes for which we collected it

• Legal requirements or statutory limitation periods

• Our business needs (e.g. for continuity, backups, record-keeping)

When your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

6. Security

We employ reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

• Access to data is restricted to authorized personnel only

• Encryption (e.g. SSL/TLS) may be used for data in transit

• We regularly review our security procedures

• However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

• Recognize and remember you

• Analyze usage patterns

• Customize and improve content

• Deliver relevant marketing

You can typically control cookies via your browser settings (e.g., disable or reject cookies). However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the Site.

8. External Links & Third-Party Services

Our Site may contain links to external websites, plugins or services not controlled by CCS. We are not responsible for the practices, policies, or content of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing them your data.

9. International Transfers (if applicable)

If you are accessing our Site from a location outside the country where our servers or operations are based, your personal data may be transferred to, processed, and stored in countries other than your own. By using the Site, you consent to such transfers, subject to applicable law.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to, nor intended for use by, children under 13 (or the relevant local age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If we learn we have inadvertently collected information from a child under the applicable age, we will promptly delete it.
