Privacy Policy

Cardinal Community Strategies ("Cardinal," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through cardinalcommunity.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Our site is intentionally simple: it's an informational presence with no online forms, no accounts, and no advertising or analytics tracking.

Information We Collect

Information you choose to give us

This site has no online forms or accounts. The "Schedule a Meeting" button opens a prompt to call or text our office line, and email links open in your own mail program when you click one, such as partners@cardinalcommunity.com. Anything you tell us by phone, text, or email — your name, contact information, and the details of your message — comes to us directly, not through a form on this website. We use that information only to respond to you and to follow up about working together.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information when your browser requests a page. This can include your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is kept in server logs to keep the site secure and running reliably. We do not use it to identify you personally, and we do not combine it with anything else to build a profile of you.

Cookies and Tracking

We do not set advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not run any third-party tracking or analytics on this site. If we add analytics in the future, we'll update this policy first and describe what's being measured.

Services We Rely On

We use a small number of third-party services to deliver the site. Each has its own privacy practices, and your use of our site is also subject to theirs:

• Cloudflare hosts the website and delivers it through its global network. Cloudflare processes the technical request data described above to serve pages and protect the site.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces used on the site. When a page loads, your browser may request font files from Google's servers, which can expose your IP address to Google as part of that request.

The site also links out to our profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. When you follow one of those links, you leave our site and the privacy policy of that platform applies. We don't control and aren't responsible for the practices of sites we link to.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we have to:

• Respond to your messages and questions.
• Follow up about a Discovery Day or a potential engagement.
• Operate, secure, and improve the website.

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We don't share what you send us with anyone outside Cardinal, except with the service providers above to the extent needed to run the site, or when we're required to by law.

Data Retention

We keep email correspondence for as long as it's useful for our working relationship or as required for our records, and then delete it. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period as part of its normal operations.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure, however, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for business owners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your Choices

Because we only hold what you email us, you can ask us at any time to see, correct, or delete the information you've shared. Just email partners@cardinalcommunity.com and we'll take care of it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our site or practices change. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
