Effective date: September 1, 2026
JBD Consulting LLC (“JBD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of clients, prospective clients, job applicants, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through this website, how we may use and share it, and the choices available to you.
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to information collected through jbdconsultingllc.com and related forms and communications. It does not govern information you provide to us under a signed engagement agreement, which is handled according to the terms of that agreement and applicable professional standards. It also does not govern third-party platforms we may use, such as a client portal or scheduling tool, which are subject to their own privacy practices.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us
We collect information you voluntarily submit through our contact, consultation, career, or portal-access forms, or when you email or call us. Depending on the form, this may include:
- Name, email address, telephone number, and location
- Business or organization name
- The service area you are interested in and a description of your need
- Your requested timeline and preferred contact method
- How you heard about us
- For job applicants: resume, cover letter, professional profile links, education, certifications, work history, and work authorization information
Please do not submit Social Security numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, bank account or payment credentials, passwords, or tax documents through the public forms on this website. If we need sensitive information from you, we will provide a secure method for sending it.
Information collected automatically
Our website and the service providers that support it may collect limited technical information automatically, including browser type, device information, operating system, IP address, referring page, pages visited, and general usage patterns. This information is used to operate, secure, and improve the website.
3. How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can assist with your need
- Provide, administer, and support the services you request
- Manage client relationships and communicate about engagements
- Review and process job applications
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and any client portal
- Maintain business, professional, and engagement records
- Comply with legal, regulatory, contractual, and professional obligations
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers. We use third parties that support website hosting, form processing, email and communications, document exchange and client portal services, scheduling, payment processing, and recruiting. These providers receive only the information needed to perform their function and are subject to appropriate contractual or legal requirements.
- Legal and protective purposes. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of JBD, our clients, or others.
- Business transitions. Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
- With your direction. We may share information with auditors, lenders, tax authorities, or other parties when you ask us to or when doing so is part of an agreed engagement.
5. Cookies and Analytics
This website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, performance measurement, and general analytics. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings, though some website features may not function properly if you do.
If we implement advertising, retargeting, or non-essential tracking technologies, we will publish a cookie notice describing the categories of cookies used, their purposes, the providers involved, retention periods, and the choices available to you, and we will obtain consent where required.
6. Job Applicants
Information submitted through our careers process is used to evaluate your qualifications for the position and career family you applied to, to communicate with you about your application, and to meet recordkeeping obligations. We may retain application materials to consider you for future openings unless you ask us not to. Where a role requires it, we may collect information about federal or government experience and security clearance status, and we will collect it only where relevant to the position and permitted by applicable law.
7. Client Portal and Secure Document Exchange
Where JBD provides a secure client portal, access is limited to current or approved clients and their authorized representatives. Portal functionality and security controls depend in part on the third-party platform we use. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials and for notifying us promptly if they suspect unauthorized access. Please use the portal or another approved secure method — not ordinary email attachments — when sending sensitive documents.
8. Data Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information and systems we use, including access controls and approved file-transfer methods. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should transmit sensitive client information only through approved secure channels.
9. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet professional or contractual requirements, to maintain business and engagement records, and to comply with applicable law. Retention periods for client engagement records are governed by our engagement terms and applicable professional standards.
10. Your Choices
You may:
- Ask us to correct or update information you have submitted
- Ask us to delete information we are not required to retain
- Ask us to stop sending non-essential communications
- Ask what information we hold about you
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable state or other privacy laws. To make a request, contact us using the information in Section 14. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and some information must be retained to meet legal or professional obligations.
11. Third-Party Links
This website links to government agencies, standards organizations, and other third-party resources for informational convenience. We do not control those websites, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
12. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a business and professional audience. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children through this site. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
