DRAFT — Not Legal Advice
This Privacy Policy is a good-faith first draft written by STMS, not an attorney. It has not been reviewed by legal counsel and should not be relied on as a finished, compliant policy. It is pending real legal review before this site goes live to the public.
Privacy Policy
STMS Strategy LLC ("STMS," "we," "us," or "our") is an Illinois limited liability company registered at 821 Locust Ln, Peotone, IL 60468. This policy describes what information we collect from visitors to this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect only what we need to run this site and respond to you. That currently includes:
- Contact information you give us directly — for example, your name, email address, phone number, business name, or details about your project, when you reach out to us by email or phone. This site does not yet have a contact form; as one is added, it will collect the same kind of information you'd otherwise send us directly.
- Analytics and usage data — standard, automatically collected data such as pages visited, approximate location (city/region level), device and browser type, referring site, and time on page. We use this to understand how the site is used and to improve it.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that support analytics and basic site functionality. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site features.
How We Use Information
- To respond to inquiries and provide quotes or information about our services.
- To understand and improve how this website performs and is used.
- To communicate with current or prospective clients about our services.
- To meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party tools to help run this site and our business, such as website analytics providers, email and hosting providers, and, if used, a CRM or lead-tracking platform similar to those we build for clients. These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to handle it responsibly, consistent with their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide our services, and meet legal or accounting obligations, after which we aim to delete or anonymize it.
Your Choices & Data Requests
You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us at thestmsofficial@gmail.com. We'll do our best to respond promptly, subject to any legal or contractual obligations that require us to keep certain records.
Children's Privacy
This site is intended for business owners and decision-makers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Governing Law
This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our practices or this site evolve. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Once this document has been through legal review, this section will describe how material changes are communicated.
