What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you have a Gravatar account. The Gravatar Privacy Policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form—whether to request a consultation or for another purpose—we collect and store the information you provide on our website and within any third-party scheduling platforms we use to facilitate appointments.
By submitting a form, you consent to receiving emails from Eva Garland Consulting regarding funding opportunities, services, events, and other relevant communications. You may unsubscribe from these communications at any time.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not need to re-enter your information when leaving future comments. These cookies remain active for one year.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal information and simply identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, or other media. Embedded content from third-party websites behaves in the same manner as if you had visited those websites directly.
Third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies and similar tracking technologies, and track your interactions with embedded content, particularly if you are logged into an account with the third-party service.
Analytics
We use third-party analytics services to collect anonymous or aggregated information about website traffic and user behavior. This information helps us improve the performance and user experience of our website.
Who We Share Your Data With
NIH NCI SBIR/STTR Training and Entrepreneurship Program (STEP)
Applications submitted for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Training and Entrepreneurship Program (STEP) are shared with NIH program administrators as part of the standard application review process and for program recordkeeping purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments rather than placing them in a moderation queue.
If you register for an account on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. Registered users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators may also access and edit this information as necessary.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website or have submitted comments, you may request:
- A copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Corrections to inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal, administrative, or security obligations that require us to retain certain information.
To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, please contact us at inquiries@evagarland.com.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that allows users to signal their privacy preferences to websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals. Like many organizations, Eva Garland Consulting does not currently respond differently to DNT signals received from browsers.
For more information about Do Not Track, visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services.
When you schedule an appointment with us, your information may be processed and stored through third-party scheduling software. As with data collected through our website, you may request access to or deletion of this information.
We also store information in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform and may maintain certain data within third-party email marketing and communication platforms.
