Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how MakHill & Partners LLC ("MakHill," "we," "us," or "our") handles personal information collected through www.makhillpartners.com and related website communications.

This policy applies to website visitors and people who contact us through the site. A separate client agreement, confidentiality agreement, or other written agreement may govern information exchanged after a formal business relationship begins.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

When you contact MakHill through the website, we may collect:

• your name;
• company or organization;
• email address;
• the engagement description, question, or other information you choose to submit; and
• information contained in later communications with us.

Limited technical information

Our hosting, security, and form-processing providers may automatically receive limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser or device type, date and time of access, referring page, and basic server or security logs.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information for legitimate business purposes, including to:

• respond to inquiries and determine whether MakHill may be able to assist;
• communicate about potential or existing business relationships;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
• maintain appropriate business and legal records; and
• comply with law, legal process, and protect MakHill's rights and interests.

We do not use website inquiries for automated marketing or newsletter campaigns unless we later obtain an appropriate basis to do so.

4. Contact Form and Service Providers

MakHill uses Formspree to process website contact-form submissions. When you submit the form, the information you provide is transmitted to Formspree, may be stored within the Formspree service, and is forwarded to a designated MakHill email account.

We may also use hosting, email, security, and other professional service providers that process information on our behalf. We limit these disclosures to what is reasonably necessary for the service being provided.

Third-party providers operate under their own terms and privacy practices. MakHill may change providers as its website and operations evolve; this policy will be updated if a change materially affects how personal information is handled.

5. Cookies and Analytics

At launch, MakHill does not use advertising trackers, targeted-advertising technologies, or website analytics cookies.

The site and its service providers may use limited technical mechanisms that are strictly necessary to deliver, secure, or operate the website. If MakHill later introduces analytics, advertising technologies, or other materially different tracking, we will update this policy and implement any consent or notice mechanisms required by applicable law.

6. How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information only where reasonably necessary, including to:

• service providers that operate the website, process forms, host data, provide email, or support security;
• professional advisers such as legal, accounting, insurance, or compliance advisers;
• government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security; and
• a successor or counterpart in a merger, restructuring, financing, acquisition, or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate safeguards.

MakHill does not sell personal information and does not process personal information for targeted advertising.

7. Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting our rights.

Form submissions may also be retained by our form-processing provider according to our account settings and the provider's service terms.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information we hold about you, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of certain information.

Where applicable, you may also have rights to opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. MakHill does not currently engage in those activities through this website.

To submit a privacy request, email privacy@makhillpartners.com or write to us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

If we decline a request and applicable law gives you a right to appeal, you may appeal by replying to our decision or emailing privacy@makhillpartners.com with the subject line Privacy Appeal.

9. Children

This website is intended for business and professional audiences. It is not directed to children, and MakHill does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website.

10. International Visitors

MakHill is based in the United States. If you access the site from another country, information you submit may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable law and contractual safeguards where required.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, service providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top of this page will identify the current version. Material changes will be communicated in a manner appropriate to the change.
