This Privacy Policy describes how I collect, use, and protect information in connection with this website and my grant writing and consulting services. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
Who I Am
I am an independent freelance grant writer and consultant based in Seattle, Washington, serving nonprofit and mission‑driven clients across the United States. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact me at:
- Email: [your email address]
- City/State: Seattle, Washington
Information I Collect
Information you choose to provide
Because this website does not use a contact form or allow comments, the only information you provide directly through the website is what you choose to send by email. This may include:
- Your name and contact details (such as email address and phone number)
- Your organization’s name and role
- Information you include in your message about your organization, programs, and funding needs
If you share information about other individuals (for example, colleagues or program participants), you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to do so.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, basic technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the site, such as:
- Your IP address and general location based on IP
- Browser type and version, device type, operating system
- Pages viewed, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit
This type of information is typically collected through standard server logs and may be used in aggregated form to understand how visitors use the site and to maintain the security and performance of the website.
How I Use Information
I use the information described above for the following purposes:
- To read and respond to your email inquiries
- To communicate with you about potential or ongoing consulting work
- To maintain basic business records and comply with legal or tax obligations
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website, including monitoring for abuse or technical issues
I do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for basic site functionality and security. If any analytics or performance tools are activated in the future, they may use cookies to help understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed and how often).
You can typically control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some websites function.
How Information May Be Shared
I may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: With third‑party service providers that help operate the website, email, or other business tools (for example, website hosting, security, or email service providers), only to the extent reasonably necessary for them to provide those services.
- Legal requirements and protection: When required by law or in response to valid legal process, or when necessary to protect my rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of others.
I do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.
Data Retention
I keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:
- Email correspondence: Kept as part of normal business records for as long as needed to manage the relationship, maintain records of services, and meet legal or tax obligations.
- Technical data and logs: Retained according to hosting and security needs, such as monitoring site performance and detecting abuse.
When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted or anonymized, subject to any legal requirements for retention.
Data Security
I use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate for a small professional services business to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so I cannot promise absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
You have choices regarding how your information is used:
- You may choose not to send personal information by email.
- You may contact me to request access to personal information I hold about you, or to ask that I correct or delete certain information, subject to applicable legal and business requirements.
- You can opt out of any future marketing or newsletter emails (if I begin sending them) by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages or by contacting me directly.
Because my services and website are aimed at U.S. organizations, the specific privacy rights available to you may depend on the laws of your state or country of residence.
Children’s Privacy
This website and my services are directed to adults and organizations, not to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If I learn that I have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, I will take reasonable steps to delete it.
International Visitors
My services are intended primarily for nonprofits and organizations based in the United States, and information collected through this website is processed in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I make changes, I will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted will signify your acceptance of those changes.
