Blackbelt Legal, Inc. ("Company," "we," or "us") operates the website at www.blackbeltlegal.com (the "Site"), through which we offer non-legal business consulting services and accept payments. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

a. Information You Provide

• Contact information: name, email address, phone number
• Booking information: service type, preferred dates/times, notes
• Payment information: billing address, credit/debit card data (processed by our third-party payment processor; we do not store card numbers)

b. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: pages visited, time spent, referring URLs
• Device/technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system
• Analytics data collected via tools such as Google Analytics (see Section 5)

We use your personal information to:

• Process and confirm service bookings
• Process payments and send transactional confirmations
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
• Improve our website and service offerings
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising targeting or cross-context behavioral advertising.

We send transactional emails only — including booking confirmations, appointment reminders, and payment receipts. We do not send promotional or marketing emails. You cannot opt out of transactional emails while you have an active booking or account.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics collects usage data through cookies and similar technologies. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. Google Analytics does not use your data for ad targeting on our behalf. For more information, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy.

You may opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

• Payment processors (QuickBooks / Intuit) to process transactions
• Scheduling/booking platform providers (Office 365 Bookings) to manage appointments
• Analytics providers (Google Analytics) as described above
• Legal authorities if required by law or to protect our rights

All third-party service providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations — typically no longer than 3 years following your last interaction with us. Payment records may be retained longer as required by tax and financial regulations.

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• Right to Know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
• Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights

To submit a request, contact us at aloha@blackbeltlegal.com. We will respond within 45 days.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Payment card data is handled exclusively by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
