Privacy Policy

At The Commission Group, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website (www.thecommissiongroup.com), use our Value Builder Assessment, or engage with our coaching services. By using our site, you consent to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Voluntarily Provided Data: When you complete the Value Builder Assessment, book a consultation, or contact us, you may provide: 
  • Name, email address, phone number, and business details (e.g., company name, industry).
  • Responses to assessment questions (e.g., ratings for 8 drivers).
• Automatically Collected Data: 
  • Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site (via cookies and analytics tools like Google Analytics).
  • Device Information: Operating system, device type (e.g., mobile or desktop).
• Local Storage: Assessment answers are stored in your browser’s local storage to persist across sessions (no personal data is transmitted unless you opt in).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Provide and improve our services (e.g., generate your Value Builder Score and personalized roadmap).
• Respond to inquiries and schedule consultations (via tools like Calendly).
• Analyze website usage to optimize user experience (e.g., 95% of users complete assessments in 5-10 minutes).
• Send marketing communications (only with your consent, e.g., tips to boost your 20-30% valuation increase).
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., Google Analytics, Calendly) for analytics, scheduling, or email delivery, bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law (e.g., court orders) or to protect our rights.
• Business Transfers: In case of a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred with safeguards.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to:

• Enhance functionality (e.g., save assessment progress).
• Analyze performance (e.g., track 5-10% conversion rates on CTAs).
• You can manage cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit site functionality (e.g., assessment persistence).

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard measures (e.g., SSL encryption, secure servers) to protect your data. However, no online system is 100% secure. Assessment data stored locally in your browser is not transmitted to us unless you submit a contact form or consultation request.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for EU, CCPA for California), you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Opt out of marketing communications (via unsubscribe links).
• Request data portability or restrict processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@thecommissiongroup.com. We respond within 30 days (or 72 hours for CCPA urgent requests).

7. Third-Party Links

Our site may link to external services (e.g., Calendly for bookings). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing data.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

9. International Data Transfers

If you’re outside the U.S., your data may be processed in the U.S., where we comply with GDPR-standard safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. Check back periodically.
