Vulpian Consultants is a consulting firm based in Kampala, Uganda, providing quality management, risk management, training and advisory services. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

It applies to this website only. It does not cover information you give us during a consulting engagement, which is governed by the agreement we sign with you.

We only collect information you choose to give us. Specifically:

• Contact form submissions. Your name, email address, phone number, the service you are interested in, and your message.
• Direct correspondence. Anything you include when you email or call us using the details published on this site.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is used for security and to keep the site running.

We do not run advertising trackers, and we do not use analytics software on this website. We do not buy or otherwise obtain personal information about you from third parties.

• To reply to your enquiry and discuss how we might work together.
• To provide the services you ask us for.
• To keep records of business correspondence.
• To keep the website secure and functioning.

We will not send you marketing messages unless you have asked us to, and we will never sell your information to anyone.

A small number of services process data on our behalf, or receive data directly when you use a particular feature:

• Formspree delivers our contact form submissions to us by email. What you type into the contact form passes through their systems.
• Vercel hosts this website and keeps standard server logs.
• MongoDB Atlas stores the website's own content, such as service descriptions and articles. It does not store visitor information.
• YouTube supplies the videos embedded on our Case Studies page. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, so YouTube does not set tracking cookies unless you actually play a video.
• Google Maps supplies the map on our contact page. Loading that page loads content from Google, who may record the request.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing what it does with data it receives.

This website does not use cookies to track visitors, and there is no advertising or analytics cookie to consent to.

We set a single cookie, named vulpian_admin, only when a member of our team signs in to manage the site's content. It exists purely to keep that person signed in and is never set for ordinary visitors.

The embedded YouTube and Google Maps content described above may set their own cookies in your browser when those parts of the site load.

We keep enquiries for as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of our business correspondence, and no longer than is reasonable for that purpose. Server logs are retained by our host on their own schedule. If you would like us to delete your enquiry, ask and we will.

Under Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 - and under the GDPR if you are contacting us from the European Economic Area - you have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
• Ask us to delete information we no longer need.
• Object to how we are using your information.
• Withdraw consent you previously gave.

To exercise any of these, email us at info@vulpianco.com. We will respond as promptly as we can.

This site is served over an encrypted connection, and access to the content management system is restricted to authorised staff with individual credentials. No system is completely secure, so please avoid sending confidential or sensitive information through the contact form - contact us directly and we will agree a suitable way to share it.

This website is aimed at organizations and business contacts. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

We may update this policy as our services or the tools we use change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.

Questions about this policy, or about how we handle your information, can be sent to info@vulpianco.com or through our contact page.
