This Privacy Policy explains how Shadyvalleypath LLC ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you visit our website or engage our services. We are committed to protecting personal data, respecting privacy rights, and being transparent about data practices. This policy describes the categories of information we collect, the purposes for which we use that information, legal bases for processing where applicable, data retention practices, and the rights available to individuals regarding their personal data. If you have questions or wish to exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or by calling +1 (415) 555-0123.

Contact & Data Requests
For privacy inquiries, data access requests, corrections, or deletion, email [email protected] or mail us at our San Francisco office. We respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable law.
Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide services, communicate with clients and prospects, and operate our website. Categories include contact details (name, company, email, phone), transactional data (engagement scope, invoices), technical data (IP address, device, browser), and usage data (pages visited, interaction timestamps). We may also collect optional information you provide in free-text fields to help scope an engagement. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or health information unless you explicitly provide it for a legitimate, limited purpose and we have a lawful basis to process it.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to respond to inquiries, provide proposals and services, manage client relationships, send transactional notices, and improve our offerings. Technical and usage data help us maintain website security, diagnose issues, and optimize performance. Where required by law, we process data on a legal basis such as consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests (for fraud prevention and service improvement), or compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell personal data. We may aggregate and anonymize data for analytics and product improvement; aggregated data does not identify individuals.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the website functional and to understand usage patterns. Essential cookies are required for site navigation and form submissions. Non-essential cookies (analytics and performance) are used only with your consent. Our cookie consent widget allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. We may use third-party analytics providers to help measure traffic and usage. These providers process anonymized or pseudonymized data under contract. You can manage cookie preferences via the cookie consent control available on the site.
Sharing and Disclosure
We share personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf (hosting, email, analytics), and with our professional advisors when necessary. We require vendors to meet security and confidentiality standards. We may disclose information to comply with legal obligations, to protect our rights or safety, or as part of a corporate transaction (merger, acquisition). Any such transfer will include appropriate safeguards and documentation when required by law.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose; we apply deletion or anonymization when information is no longer needed. We maintain technical and organizational measures to protect data, including access controls, encryption in transit and at rest where practicable, and routine security assessments. No system can be guaranteed secure; if a breach occurs, we will notify affected parties and regulators in accordance with applicable law.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, restrict or object to processing, and request portability. To exercise a right, contact us at [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify the request. We will verify requests to protect data security. For EU/EEA residents, we will provide information about legal bases and transfers on request. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may contact the relevant supervisory authority.
Children
Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If a parent or guardian believes we have collected such data, contact [email protected] and we will promptly delete it upon verification.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal or operational changes. When materially required, we will notify users through the website or by email. The "Last updated" date appears at the top of the policy. Continued use of our services after changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
