Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ST Consulting Group ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, use our services, or interact with us through social media and advertising platforms.

This policy applies to businesses that inquire about our website development, social media growth, and creator representation services, as well as individual creators and any other visitors to stconsultco.com.

By using our website or submitting information through our contact forms, you consent to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Contact form submissions: your full name, email address, company name, service interest, and any message or description you provide when you reach out to us.
• Communication records: emails, messages, and notes from consultations, so we can respond to your inquiry and provide ongoing service.
• Usage data: pages visited, referral source, browser type, and device information collected through standard analytics tools.
• Social media data: when you message or engage with our profiles on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Pinterest, we may receive the information you share with us in that interaction.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations.
• Deliver the services you request, including website development, social media management, and creator representation.
• Send relevant updates, proposals, and service-related communications.
• Improve our website content, services, and marketing effectiveness.
• Meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations.

4. How We Store and Protect Data

Your information is stored securely using our platform provider's infrastructure, which employs industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission and access controls.

Access to personal data is limited to authorized ST Consulting Group personnel who need it to perform their roles. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Your Rights below).

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve performance. These tools may collect anonymous data such as page views, session duration, and general location.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

6. Social Media and Advertising

We maintain presence and advertise on social media platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. When we run paid advertising campaigns on these platforms, the platform provider — not ST Consulting Group — controls how audience targeting and campaign performance data are processed.

• LinkedIn advertising: When we promote our services on LinkedIn, the platform may use its own data and tracking technologies to serve ads to relevant professional audiences. LinkedIn's advertising tools may use your activity on LinkedIn to show you our ads. This data is governed by LinkedIn's Privacy Policy, which you can review on their platform.
• Retargeting and lookalike audiences: We may use platform-provided features to reach audiences similar to our existing contacts. Platform providers handle the matching process using their own data, and we do not receive identifiable information about individual ad viewers from these platforms unless you directly engage with us.
• Engagement data: When you like, comment, message, or follow our social media profiles, that interaction is processed by the respective platform according to its own privacy practices. We may see aggregated or platform-shared engagement data.

7. Sharing Information With Third Parties

We share information only when necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations:

• Service providers: trusted vendors who help us operate our business, bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Social media platforms: as described above, when you interact with our campaigns or profiles.
• Legal compliance: when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to or a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time by replying to any email or contacting us.
• Where applicable, exercise data portability rights.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for businesses and adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a minor has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
