It describes for you the various ways we collect, use, and share information about you when you visit our website located at https://ImpactingAdvisors.com/ or any other Impacting Advisors website that displays a link to this Privacy Policy (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other website, service, or application of Impacting Advisors or any websites, services, or applications linked to or from the Website. In this Privacy Policy, Impacting Advisors is sometimes referred to simply as “we”, “our”, or “us”. This Privacy Policy is a legally binding agreement between Impacting Advisors and you, so please read it carefully. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Website.

1.     The Information We Collect

We collect two types of information. The first type is information that identifies an individual (called “personal information”). The second type is information that does not identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual (called “anonymous information”). We may collect the following particular personal and anonymous information during your use of the Website:

  • Information you provide to us when you contact us through the Website (e.g., name, email address, phone number, employer).

  • Activity information about your use of our Website, such as the content you view, how often you visit our Website, and your preferences.

2.     How We Collect Your Information

We collect information from you two ways – information that you voluntarily choose to provide to us and information that we collect automatically, such as through certain technology we use on our Website. These methods are described more fully below:

  • We collect information when you voluntarily provide it to us such as when you contact us on the Website.
  • We use Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our Website. Google Analytics collects information from users such as how often they visit our Website, what pages they visit, their location, activity on the Website,  and what other websites they have used before coming to our Website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our Website, not your name or other identifying information. Google Analytics also uses specific identifiers to help collect information about the use of our Website. For more information on how Google collects and processes your data, visit this information made available by Google.
