At Plinth Advisors, we believe that trust is the foundation of every relationship we build — including the one we have with the people who visit our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you share with us when you interact with our website and digital presence. We are committed to handling your information with the same integrity we bring to every organization we serve.

This Policy is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Va. Code Ann. § 59.1-575 et seq., as applicable to our operations.

1. Who We Are

Plinth Advisors is a professional consulting, coaching, and speaking practice headquartered in Virginia. We partner with organizations to build professional character and leadership readiness through our proprietary Character Capital Framework™. Our website serves as an informational and business development resource for prospective clients, partners, and professionals interested in our work.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our business and serve our clients well. This includes:

Information You Provide Directly

When you contact us through our website — whether through a contact form, inquiry submission, or email — you may provide:

• Your name and professional title

• Your organization or employer

• Your email address and phone number

• The nature of your inquiry or interest

• Any other information you choose to include in your message

 

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically through standard web technologies, including:

• IP address and general geographic location (city or region level)

• Browser type and version

• Device type and operating system

• Pages visited on our website and the time spent on each

• Referring website or source

• Date and time of your visit

 

This information is collected through standard website analytics tools and server logs. It helps us understand how our website is being used so we can improve the experience for our visitors.

3. How We Use Your Information

Plinth Advisors collects information for one purpose: to operate and improve our business. Specifically, we use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and follow up on potential client relationships

• Communicate with current and prospective clients about our services

• Schedule and coordinate speaking engagements, consulting engagements, and coaching programs

• Improve the content and functionality of our website

• Understand how visitors find and use our website to better serve our audience

• Comply with applicable legal obligations

 

We do not use your information for any purpose unrelated to our business operations. We do not build advertising profiles, engage in automated decision-making that produces legal effects, or use your data for any purpose beyond what is described here.

4. We Do Not Sell Your Information

Plinth Advisors does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party — ever. This is not a legal formality. It reflects who we are and what we stand for.

The information you share with us is held in trust, used only to serve you and operate our practice, and treated with the same respect for privacy we would expect in return.

5. How We Share Information

We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website or running our business, such as email platforms, scheduling tools, or website hosting providers. These vendors are contractually obligated to handle your information only as directed by us and solely for the purpose of providing their services to Plinth Advisors.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, a court order, or a governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Plinth Advisors, our clients, or the public.

• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that Plinth Advisors undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, client information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected individuals if this occurs and inform them of their rights under this Policy.

 

We do not share your personal information with any other third parties, including advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies.

6. Your Rights Under Virginia Law

If you are a Virginia resident, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) may provide you with certain rights regarding your personal data, subject to applicable thresholds and exemptions. Those rights include:

• Right to Access: You have the right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to access that data.

• Right to Correction: You have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in the personal data we hold about you.

• Right to Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete personal data you have provided or that we have collected about you.

• Right to Data Portability: Where technically feasible, you have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and usable format.

• Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of any processing of your personal data for purposes of targeted advertising or profiling. Because Plinth Advisors does not engage in either of these activities, this right is not currently implicated by our data practices.

 

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address listed in Section 1. We will respond to verified requests within 45 days, or within an additional 45-day extension period if necessary, as permitted by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

If we decline to take action on your request, you may appeal that decision by contacting us at the address listed above and stating your intent to appeal. If your appeal is denied, you may contact the Virginia Attorney General's Office to submit a complaint.

 

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and help us understand how our site is being used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.

We use cookies solely for internal, operational purposes — such as measuring website performance and understanding visitor behavior in aggregate. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track your behavior across other websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain website features.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected — typically, to maintain an active client or prospective client relationship, respond to ongoing communications, or comply with legal obligations.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it. If you request deletion of your information, we will honor that request unless we are legally required to retain certain records.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure data storage practices, limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, and regular review of our data handling procedures.

While we are committed to protecting your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We encourage you to take care when sharing personal information online.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites — such as social media platforms, partner organizations, or referenced resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Plinth Advisors website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information with them.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for business professionals and are not directed at individuals under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

 

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our services, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

Your continued use of our website following any update to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

13. Contact Us

We mean it when we say this work is personal. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise your rights under Virginia law, or simply want to understand how we handle your information, please reach out. We will respond promptly and with the same care we bring to every client relationship.
