Privacy Notice

Mardenly Consulting LLC (“Mardenly,” “we,” “us”) operates www.mardenly.com. This notice explains what personal information the site collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the California Online Privacy Protection Act and the comparable disclosure requirements of other United States jurisdictions.

1. Who we are

Mardenly Consulting LLC is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Florida. We are the operator of this site and are responsible for the information described here.

2. Categories of information we collect

We collect the following categories of personally identifiable information:

We do not collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, payment card data, government identification numbers, precise geolocation, biometric data, health information, or any category of information treated as sensitive under state law. We do not ask for it and the site provides no field in which to enter it.

3. How we use it

We use the information you send to respond to your inquiry, to evaluate whether we are the right fit for your project, and, if an engagement follows, to perform that engagement and keep the records required for tax and business purposes. We use automatically collected server data to operate the site, keep it secure, and diagnose faults. We do not use your information to build advertising profiles and we do not use it for automated decision making.

4. Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the following categories of third parties, and only to the extent needed to run the business:

5. Third party tracking and Do Not Track

This site contains no analytics, no advertising pixels, no social media plug ins, and no third party scripts of any kind. Typefaces are served from our own server rather than from a third party font service. No third party is permitted to collect personally identifiable information about your activity on this site, and no party collects information about your activity across other websites over time through this site.

Do Not Track signals

Because we conduct no tracking of any kind, a Do Not Track signal from your browser has no effect on what we collect. We do not monitor your activity across other sites whether or not that signal is sent. We disclose this in accordance with California Business and Professions Code section 22575(b)(5).

6. Cookies

This site sets no cookies. Nothing is written to local storage or session storage on your device. No consent banner is presented because there is nothing to consent to.

7. How to review or change your information

To see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted, write to sharif@mardenly.com with the word Privacy in the subject line and tell us which of these you want. We will confirm your identity by replying to the email address we already hold for you, and we will respond within thirty days. There is no charge. We will tell you if a legal obligation requires us to keep a record we would otherwise delete.

8. State privacy rights

Twenty states currently have comprehensive consumer privacy statutes, most of which apply only to businesses above defined revenue or data volume thresholds. Mardenly Consulting LLC is well below those thresholds and is not a covered business under the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, or the comparable statutes of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, or Rhode Island.

We nonetheless extend the following to every visitor regardless of where you live, and we will honor a request whether or not the statute in your state obliges us to:

You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf if you give us written permission and we can verify your identity. If we decline a request, we will tell you why and how to appeal. An appeal is sent to the same address and answered within forty five days.

9. Email and text messages

Any commercial email we send will identify us accurately in the header and subject line, will state our physical postal address, and will contain a working unsubscribe mechanism. If you unsubscribe we will stop within ten business days, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act. Replying to an inquiry you sent us is not commercial email and carries no unsubscribe link, but you can tell us to stop at any time.

We do not send marketing text messages and we do not use automated dialing systems. We will not call or text you for marketing purposes without your prior express written consent.

10. Retention

Inquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within twelve months. Where an engagement follows, records are kept for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for the period required by the Internal Revenue Code and Florida business records law, generally seven years. Server logs are held by our hosting provider for a short period, normally no more than thirty days.

11. Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection. Access to inquiry records is limited to people who need it to do their work. We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the small volume and low sensitivity of the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affecting your information occurs, we will notify you as required by Florida Statutes section 501.171 and the breach notification law of your state.

12. Children

This site is directed to business owners and operators and is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under thirteen years of age, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. If you believe a child has sent us information, write to sharif@mardenly.com and we will delete it.

13. Visitors outside the United States

This site is operated from and hosted in the United States and is directed to a United States audience. If you visit from another country, understand that your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where privacy law differs from the law of your country. If you are in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland and you contact us, we will handle your inquiry on the basis that it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract, and you may ask us to access, correct, or delete your information using the same address in section 7.

14. Changes to this notice

If we change this notice we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above. Where a change is material, meaning it alters what we collect, how we use it, or who receives it, we will post a notice on the site home page for thirty days, and we will email anyone whose information we hold before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the site after the effective date means you accept the revised notice.
