What we collect, why, and what is yours to control.
This policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used, which services help run it, and the choices you have. ASC is a small, one-person training and consulting practice. We collect only what we need to respond to you and run the site, we do not sell your information, and you can opt out of our emails at any time.

Like most websites, this site automatically records standard technical and usage data through Google Analytics: a truncated or de-identified IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, how you arrived (for example, a search engine or a link), and general region. This data is used in aggregate to understand site traffic. It is not used to personally identify you.
We do not collect payment-card numbers or banking details through this website. Tuition and engagement payments are handled separately through invoicing and direct arrangement. We do not run user accounts or logins, and we do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what you volunteer in a message.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or third-party advertising.
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic. Google Analytics sets cookies to recognize returning visitors in aggregate and to count page views and sessions. We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell analytics data to anyone.
You can opt out of analytics at any time:
Blocking analytics will not affect your ability to use the site.
A few trusted third-party services process limited data on ASC's behalf so the site and its forms work. They are bound by their own privacy terms and are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing.
Hosts and serves the website and processes form submissions. Standard server logs may include IP addresses for security and reliability.
Provides the aggregate website-traffic measurement described above. Governed by Google's privacy policy.
Delivers our notification and subscription emails and stores the contact details of people who opt in to updates.
If you submit a form, we may reply directly about your request. If you sign up for a resource, our newsletter, case-law alerts, or manual updates, you may be added to ASC's mailing list to receive occasional, related emails. We send these infrequently and only when there is something worth sending.
Every marketing email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also email joseph@ascjoe.com and ask to be removed, and we will take you off the list promptly. We do not share or sell our mailing list.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only in these limited situations:
Wherever you live, you can contact us to exercise the following choices, and we will honor reasonable requests:
To make any of these requests, email joseph@ascjoe.com. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR; we extend the same core choices above to everyone and will work with you in good faith on any specific statutory request.
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purpose you provided it, to maintain our business records, or to meet legal obligations. Inquiry and mailing-list data is kept until you ask us to remove it or it is no longer needed.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, and we work with reputable providers that maintain their own security practices. No website or method of transmission is ever completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we treat your information with care and collect as little as possible.
This website is intended for law-enforcement, legal, education, HR, and other professional audiences. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 through this site. Note that any student-related work ASC performs in school or Title IX engagements is handled offline under the engaging institution's policies and applicable law, not through this website. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy as the site or our practices change. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
