DVW BUSINESS CONSULTING LLC — Effective 1 October 2026
DVW BUSINESS CONSULTING LLC respects the privacy of every person who visits our website, contacts our practice, or engages us for computer integrated systems design services. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain and complete language, what information we gather, why we gather it, how we protect it, how long we keep it, and what choices you can exercise over it. It applies to the website published at dvwconsulting.lol and to the professional services delivered under the developer name DVW Consulting.
We operate from 1402 W Ammon Way, South Jordan - 84095-2485, United States (US). We are a business to business consultancy, and the majority of the personal information we handle concerns representatives of organisations that approach us rather than consumers. Even so, we apply the same standard of care to every record we hold, because trust is the foundation on which systems design engagements are built.
This Policy is written to be read without legal training. Where a term carries a specific meaning in data protection law, we explain it in ordinary words. If anything here is unclear, you are welcome to write to us at contact@dvwconsulting.lol and we will explain our practice directly.
This Policy covers personal information processed through our website, our email correspondence, our telephone lines, and our professional engagement documentation. It does not cover information that our clients hold independently on their own systems, nor does it cover information processed by third party platforms that you reach through links from our site.
During a systems design engagement we frequently work alongside client teams. In those situations the client remains responsible for any personal data inside its own estate, and we process that data only as a service provider acting on documented instructions. This Policy governs our own conduct as a controller of the limited information needed to run our practice.
Employees, contractors and job applicants may receive separate internal notices describing how their information is handled. Those notices supplement this Policy and take precedence where they are more specific.
We collect information that you provide to us directly, information generated automatically as you use our website, and information received from business partners in the ordinary course of professional work.
We do not seek out special categories of personal data, and we ask that you do not send us sensitive information such as health records, financial account numbers or government identifiers through the website contact form. If such information arrives unsolicited, we will delete it unless we are legally required to retain it, and we will confirm the deletion on request.
Where a discovery session involves observing live systems, we work from documentation and aggregated behaviour rather than from the content of individual records. If a task genuinely requires access to identifiable records, we ask the client to provide a test or masked environment wherever one can be made available.
We use the information we hold for a small number of clearly defined purposes. Each purpose is tied to a legitimate business need, and we do not repurpose information for unrelated activities without telling you first.
Where we rely on your consent for a specific activity, such as adding you to a mailing list, you may withdraw that consent at any time and we will stop the activity promptly. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal, and it does not affect processing that rests on another legal basis.
We may also create aggregated statistics about website usage and engagement activity. Aggregated data is compiled in a form that does not identify any individual, and we may use it to describe our work in general terms or to improve the way we present our practice.
Where data protection law requires us to identify a legal basis, we rely on the following grounds.
When we rely on legitimate interests we carry out a balancing assessment, and we record the outcome so that our reasoning can be reviewed. You may ask us about any such assessment by writing to the address in the contact section below.
We rely on a small number of trusted providers for website hosting, email delivery, document storage and accounting. Each provider is selected with care and is bound by a contract that restricts its use of our information to the services it provides to us.
We review our providers periodically to confirm that their security posture remains appropriate, that they notify us of incidents without undue delay, and that they delete or return information when the relationship ends. We do not permit providers to use our information for their own marketing.
If a provider engages subcontractors, we require that equivalent obligations flow down to those subcontractors, and we retain responsibility for the overall handling of the information.
DVW BUSINESS CONSULTING LLC is based in the United States, and the information we hold is principally processed within the United States. Where a client or provider is located elsewhere, information may cross a national border as part of ordinary professional correspondence.
When information leaves its country of origin, we take steps to ensure it continues to receive appropriate protection. Depending on the destination, this may involve standard contractual clauses, a recognised adequacy decision, or the explicit consent of the individual concerned.
You may ask for further detail about the safeguards applied to a particular transfer by contacting us at contact@dvwconsulting.lol.
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, plus any additional period required by law. Retention periods are set out in our internal records schedule and are reviewed each year.
When a retention period ends, information is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an individual. Deletion from live systems is followed by removal from backups on the normal backup rotation cycle, which is why a short additional period may elapse before a record disappears entirely.
We may keep a minimal suppression record where you have asked us not to contact you again. That record contains only the detail needed to honour the request and is retained for as long as the request must be respected.
We protect information with a combination of technical and organisational controls. Access is limited to team members who need it, credentials are managed centrally, and devices that hold practice information are encrypted and kept current with security updates.
We use transport encryption for data in transit, and we store client documentation in systems that support access control and audit logging. Where a client requires additional safeguards, we can agree specific measures as part of the engagement contract.
Access to engagement material is granted on a need to know basis and reviewed whenever a team member changes role or leaves the practice. Administrative accounts are protected with multi factor authentication, and privileged activity is logged so that unusual access can be investigated. We test our backup restoration process periodically rather than assuming that a backup is usable.
Our premises are secured, paper records are stored in locked furniture, and portable devices are never left unattended in public places. Team members receive regular guidance on phishing, credential handling and secure file sharing, and they are expected to report suspected incidents immediately.
No system can guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify the relevant authorities and the affected individuals without undue delay, and we will explain what happened in plain language. We will also describe the steps we have taken to contain the incident and the measures we recommend to reduce any residual risk.
Where we engage a service provider, we assess its security controls before onboarding and we revisit that assessment when the service changes materially. A provider that cannot demonstrate appropriate safeguards will not be given access to personal information belonging to our clients or contacts.
Depending on where you live, you may hold some or all of the following rights in relation to your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, write to contact@dvwconsulting.lol with enough detail for us to identify you and understand your request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, and we will explain any lawful reason for declining a request.
Residents of California may have additional rights under state privacy law. In the twelve months preceding the effective date of this Policy, we have collected the categories of information described in the collection section above for the business purposes described in the use section.
We do not sell personal information as that term is defined by California law, and we do not share it for cross context behavioural advertising. You have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of information we hold, to request deletion, to request correction, and to designate an authorised agent to act on your behalf.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. If a request can only be met by ending a service, we will explain that consequence clearly before proceeding. Requests may be sent to contact@dvwconsulting.lol or to our postal address in South Jordan, Utah.
Our website and services are intended for business and professional audiences and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of sixteen.
If we learn that we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided information to us may write to contact@dvwconsulting.lol and we will investigate without delay.
We send occasional professional updates to contacts who have asked to receive them. Each message includes a straightforward way to unsubscribe, and an unsubscribe request is honoured promptly and permanently for that channel.
Service messages about an active engagement are not marketing and will continue while the engagement is running. After the engagement closes, we retain your details only as long as needed for the purposes described in the retention section.
We do not rent, sell or trade contact lists. If you receive a message that appears to come from DVW BUSINESS CONSULTING LLC but does not match our usual practice, please forward it to contact@dvwconsulting.lol so that we can investigate.
Our website may link to external sites that we do not control. Those sites operate under their own privacy notices, and we encourage you to read them before providing any information. This Policy does not extend to any external destination.
Where we embed a third party tool on our site, we will describe the tool and the reason for it. You can always choose to interact with our practice by telephone or email instead of using an embedded service.
We review this Policy at least once a year and whenever our practice, our tooling or the law changes in a material way. The effective date at the top of the page always reflects the most recent revision.
If a change significantly alters how we handle personal information, we will provide a clear notice on the website and, where appropriate, contact affected individuals directly. Continuing to use our website or services after an update indicates that you have had the opportunity to review the revised Policy.
Questions, requests and complaints about privacy may be directed to DVW BUSINESS CONSULTING LLC using the details below. We treat every privacy enquiry seriously and aim to acknowledge it within two business days.
