Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how ES Ventures LLC, doing business as Unbreakable Stone ("ES Ventures LLC," "Unbreakable Stone," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information through unbreakablestone.com and any related forms, gated content pages, contact pages, and feedback or testimonial pages (collectively, the "Site").

The Site is intended primarily for adult users in the United States in a professional or business context. The Site is not directed to children, and personal information from children is not knowingly collected through the Site.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site, including information submitted through separate website forms and registration flows. Different forms on the Site may request different information and may be used for different business purposes.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be linked from the Site or used as part of the underlying infrastructure. Those third parties operate under their own policies and terms.

2. Information Collected

Depending on how a visitor interacts with the Site, the following categories of information may be collected:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Company or organization name
• Job title or role
• Message content or inquiry details
• Review, survey, or testimonial content voluntarily submitted through the Site
• Basic technical or anti-spam data associated with website form submissions, including information processed through spam-prevention tools such as reCAPTCHA

The Site is structured so that different form types collect information for different purposes. For example, contact or booking inquiries, gated content download requests, and review or testimonial submissions are treated as separate collection contexts rather than a single combined marketing database.

3. How Information Is Collected

Information is collected when a user voluntarily submits it through website forms, such as a contact form, speaking inquiry form, gated content registration form, testimonial form, or survey.

The Site may also use website infrastructure and anti-spam technologies, including Netlify Forms and Google reCAPTCHA, to process form submissions, detect abuse, and help protect the Site from spam or automated misuse.

4. Categories of Form Data and Purposes

A. Contact and Booking Inquiry Forms

Information submitted through contact or booking inquiry forms may include name, email address, phone number, company, role, and message content.

This information is used to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Communicate regarding speaking engagements, consulting opportunities, or requested information
• Maintain records of communications and business development activity

B. Gated Download or Presentation Resource Forms

Information submitted to request presentation resources or gated downloads may include name, email address, phone number, company, and role or title.

This information is used to:

• Deliver requested downloads or follow-up access information
• Track interest in specific presentations or resources
• Maintain event-related registrant records
• Send follow-up communications related to the requested materials
• Send future newsletters, updates, or promotional communications only where permitted by law and where the user has provided any required consent or has not opted out

C. Reviews, Testimonials, and Survey Submissions

Information submitted through testimonial, review, or feedback forms may include name, organization, role, and the contents of the submitted feedback.

This information is used to:

• Evaluate user experience and improve presentations or services
• Review and moderate submissions
• Publish testimonials or excerpts only as authorized by the submission flow, the terms presented at the time of collection, or separate permission obtained from the submitter

5. Marketing Communications

The Site may be used to build a contact list for future professional opportunities, newsletters, service updates, speaking-related announcements, or other marketing communications. Email marketing laws generally require transparency regarding how subscriber information is used and require a meaningful opt-out mechanism in marketing emails.

Where marketing emails are sent, each email will include a way to unsubscribe or opt out from future marketing communications. Opt-out requests will be honored in accordance with applicable law and operational requirements.

Submitting a contact form, download request, or other form does not guarantee enrollment in all categories of marketing communications. Marketing use of information may depend on the type of form submitted, the nature of the request, and any consent language presented at the time of collection.

6. Legal and Business Bases for Use

Information collected through the Site is used for legitimate business purposes, including responding to requests, delivering requested materials, maintaining business records, improving services, protecting the Site from spam or abuse, and conducting permitted marketing communications. Privacy notices commonly disclose the purposes for which information is collected and used, including operational, security, and marketing purposes.

Where required by law, marketing communications will be based on the user's consent or another lawful basis permitted by applicable law.

7. Third-Party Service Providers and Processors

The Site may rely on third-party service providers to host the Site, process form submissions, provide spam protection, route messages, automate workflows, maintain records, and deliver email communications. These providers may include Netlify, Google reCAPTCHA, email service providers, automation tools, spreadsheet or CRM tools, and similar service providers used in the ordinary operation of the Site.

Netlify states that its infrastructure is primarily hosted in the United States, and personal information handled through Netlify-hosted forms may therefore be processed or stored in the United States.

Information may be disclosed to service providers only as reasonably necessary to operate the Site, process requests, communicate with users, maintain records, prevent abuse, and conduct lawful business activities.

Personal information is not sold, leased, or traded for monetary value.

8. International Visitors

The Site is intended primarily for users in the United States and is not deliberately marketed to users in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Canada. However, users from outside the United States may incidentally access the Site or submit information through it.

If a user accesses the Site from outside the United States and submits personal information, that information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of the user's home jurisdiction. Netlify indicates that its infrastructure is primarily hosted in the United States.

Users who do not want their information transferred to or processed in the United States should not submit personal information through the Site.

9. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

The Site is not deliberately marketed to California residents. However, California residents and residents of other states may still interact with the Site. A clear privacy notice should identify what information is collected, how it is used, and how individuals can submit privacy-related requests.

Subject to applicable law and verification requirements, users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information collected through the Site. Users may also opt out of marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe method included in such communications or by contacting the business directly.

10. Cookies, Tracking, and Anti-Spam Tools

The Site may use limited technical tools necessary to operate website forms, maintain site security, and reduce spam or abuse. If additional analytics, advertising technologies, or tracking cookies are added in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated to reflect those tools and their purposes.

If Google reCAPTCHA is used on the Site, it may process device, browser, or interaction data as part of spam prevention and security functions.

11. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, delivering requested materials, maintaining business records, sending permitted follow-up communications, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing website terms. Privacy policy best practices generally call for disclosing either retention periods or the criteria used to determine retention.

Because different forms serve different purposes, different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on the nature of the relationship, the operational need for the information, and any applicable legal obligations.

12. Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Privacy notices commonly disclose that security measures are used, while also acknowledging that no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Despite reasonable safeguards, no website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information through website forms unless specifically requested.

13. User Choices and Rights

Users may request to review, update, correct, or delete certain personal information that has been submitted through the Site, subject to reasonable verification and any legal or business recordkeeping requirements.

Users may also opt out of future marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by contacting ES Ventures LLC directly. CAN-SPAM guidance requires that recipients of commercial email be given the ability to opt out of future marketing messages.

14. Children

The Site is intended for adults in a professional context and is not directed to children under 13. Personal information from children is not knowingly collected through the Site.

If it is believed that a child has submitted personal information through the Site, contact should be made using the information below so that appropriate steps can be taken.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the Site, data practices, service providers, legal requirements, or business operations. Privacy policy templates and guidance commonly recommend posting an updated effective date whenever changes are made.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy to the extent permitted by law.
