Privacy Policy

To incorporate automated SMS messaging for account and billing notifications into your Privacy Policy—while staying compliant with standard carrier and TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) requirements—you need to update three specific sections:

  1. Section 2 (How We Use Your Information): Add SMS notification disclosures.
  2. Section 5 (Sharing of Information): Explicitly clarify that SMS consent and phone numbers are not shared with or sold to third parties for marketing purposes (a critical carrier requirement for A2P 10DLC approval).
  3. Section 7 (Your Choices): Outline opt-in consent and opt-out instructions (e.g., replying "STOP").

Here is the updated Privacy Policy text ready to copy and paste.

Kotar Consulting ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website Kotarconsulting.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit or interact with our Site.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you fill out a form on our Site (such as a contact form, newsletter signup, or content download request), we may collect:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Company name
  • Job title

Information Collected Automatically

We use HubSpot as our marketing and analytics platform. When you visit our Site, HubSpot's tracking code automatically collects certain information, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or source (e.g., search engine, social media, email link)
  • Click and scroll behavior
  • Approximate geographic location (derived from IP address)

This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies placed by HubSpot. For more detail on the specific cookies HubSpot uses, see HubSpot's own Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries submitted through our forms
  • Send automated text messages (SMS) and notifications regarding billing, invoicing, and account management, provided you have opted in or provided your phone number for service notifications

  • Understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve content and user experience
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts
  • Identify and follow up with potential leads (sales and marketing purposes)

3. How HubSpot Tracking Works

When you visit our Site, HubSpot assigns your browser a unique cookie identifier. This allows us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor
  • Associate your website activity (pages viewed, forms submitted) with a contact record if you submit a form
  • Build a profile of your interactions with our Site over time for sales and marketing purposes

If you submit a form, the information you provide may be linked to your prior anonymous browsing activity tracked by the same cookie.

Third-party processor: HubSpot, Inc. processes this data on our behalf as a data processor. You can review HubSpot's own privacy practices in their Privacy Policy.
