Privacy Policy — EmpowHR Consulting

Last Updated: April 2026

At EmpowHR Consulting, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care, transparency, and respect. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you share with us through our website at empowhrconsulting.ca.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

Through our contact form: When you reach out to us, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any details you choose to share in your message.

Through website analytics: Our website uses Squarespace's built-in analytics tool to collect non-identifying information about site visitors, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general location data. This helps us understand how our website is being used and improve your experience.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies which are small text files placed on your device to support basic website functionality and analytics. When you visit our site you will be given the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies through our cookie banner.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide through our contact form solely to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about our services. Analytics data is used only to improve our website experience. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

Your Privacy Rights

In accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if needed. To make such a request, please contact us at jan@empowhrconsulting.ca.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These precautions include:

At the website level: Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which provides SSL encryption as indicated by the padlock in your browser to protect information submitted through our contact form. Squarespace also manages server-level security on our behalf.

At the communication level: We use a professional, secure business email account to receive and respond to your inquiries. We do not forward your personal information to personal email accounts or share it with third parties.

At the business practice level: We only collect the information we need to respond to your inquiry. We do not retain contact form submissions longer than necessary, and we do not use your information for any purpose beyond communicating with you about our services.

While no website or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we are committed to protecting your personal information using industry-standard practices appropriate for a small Canadian consulting business.
