Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Power Cloud Consulting ("Power Cloud," "we," "us") operates powerclouderp.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect through the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers the Site only — data we access during a consulting engagement (for example, inside a client's NetSuite account) is governed by that engagement's agreement, not this policy.
The short version: we collect what you type into our forms plus standard analytics about how the Site is used. We use it to respond to you, to improve the Site, and to measure which of our ads actually bring people here. We never sell or rent your information, and we never hand your form submissions to anyone for their own marketing. We do use Google advertising cookies, both to measure our ads and to show them to you on other sites after you visit — California law calls that "sharing," and you can opt out using the links below. Ask us to delete your information at any time and we'll do it within 5 business days.
Information you give us
When you submit a form on the Site, we collect what you enter — typically your name, organization, email address, phone number, and your message or answers — along with the page you submitted the form from. Submissions are delivered to our business inbox as email and also create a lead record in our own NetSuite account, so an inquiry doesn't get lost in a mailbox. The Site itself stores nothing — it has no database and keeps no copy. If you email or call us directly, we keep that correspondence the way any business does.
We use this information to respond to you, provide what you asked for (such as assessment results), and have an informed conversation if you want one. Submitting a form does not sign you up for a newsletter or a marketing sequence.
Information collected automatically
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used — pages visited, approximate location (city level, derived from IP address), device and browser type, and how visitors found us. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish visitors. You can read how Google handles this data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out entirely with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising and conversion measurement. We advertise on Google. The Google Ads
tag on the Site sets cookies (their names begin with _gcl_) so that Google can
tell us when a visit that began with one of our ads ended in a form submission. That is how we
know which ads are worth paying for. We send Google the fact that a submission happened, not
what you typed into the form.
Remarketing. We also use these cookies for remarketing. If you visit the Site and don't get in touch, Google can recognize your browser later and show you our ads on other sites and apps. This is cross-site advertising, and it is the part of our setup that privacy laws care most about — see Your choices and rights for how to stop it. You can switch personalized advertising off for your own Google account at My Ad Center.
Tag manager. The Site loads Google Tag Manager, a container that lets us add or remove measurement tags without rebuilding the Site. Tag Manager sets no cookies of its own and builds no profile of you; it decides which of the tags described on this page run. Loading it does mean your browser fetches a file from Google, which sees your IP address the way any server does. When we add a tag that collects something new, we update this page.
Hosting and security. The Site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes visitor IP addresses and request data to serve pages and protect against attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots; Turnstile evaluates browser signals and your IP address for that purpose.
Video embeds. Some pages include YouTube videos. We load them click-to-play: no YouTube player code runs until you press play. When you do, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies and collect viewing data under its own privacy policy. Video thumbnail images are served from YouTube's image servers when a page displays.
Cookies
The Site sets Google Analytics cookies, which tell one visitor apart from another, and Google
Ads cookies (names beginning _gcl_), which connect an ad click to a later form
submission and let Google show you our ads on other sites. YouTube sets its own cookies if —
and only if — you choose to play a video. We set no cookies of our own. Nothing on the Site
needs a cookie to work: block or delete them in your browser settings and every page still
functions normally.
Who we share information with
We do not sell personal information, and we never pass your form submissions to anyone to use for their own marketing.
We do share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, in the sense California's privacy law gives that phrase. Concretely: the remarketing cookies described above let Google recognize people who have visited this Site and show them our ads elsewhere. No money changes hands, and Google never receives anything you typed into a form — but the law counts this as sharing regardless of both facts, and we would rather tell you than argue the point. Your choices and rights explains how to opt out.
The third parties that handle Site data are service providers acting on our instructions:
- Google — usage analytics (Google Analytics), advertising and conversion measurement (Google Ads), tag management (Google Tag Manager), and video hosting (YouTube). Privacy policy
- Oracle NetSuite — hosts the business system where your form submission becomes a lead record for our sales team. Privacy policy
- Cloudflare — website hosting, content delivery, and bot protection. Privacy policy
- Resend — delivers form submissions to our inbox as email. Privacy policy
Beyond that, we would disclose information only if required by law, to protect our legal rights, or as part of a business transaction such as a merger — in which case it would remain subject to this policy.
How long we keep it
Form submissions and correspondence — including the lead records they create in our NetSuite account — are kept as ordinary business records for as long as we reasonably need them, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Analytics and advertising data is retained according to our Google Analytics and Google Ads settings, then deleted or aggregated by Google.
Your choices and rights
- Deletion. Email [email protected] (or reply to any email from us) and ask us to delete your data. We'll remove your submissions from our systems within 5 business days — for anyone, regardless of where you live.
- Access and correction. Ask us what we have about you and we'll tell you; ask us to correct it and we will.
- Analytics. Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or block cookies in your browser.
- Advertising, including the right to opt out of sharing. If you are in a state whose law gives you a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" right, there are three ways to exercise it here, and you never need to cite a statute or explain why. The easiest is a browser or extension that sends a Global Privacy Control signal: we detect it automatically and no advertising cookies are used for your visit. You can also turn off personalized advertising for your Google account at My Ad Center, or block cookies in your browser. Or email [email protected] and ask us to opt you out, and we'll confirm when it's done.
- Marketing email. We don't send marketing email unless you've asked for it. If we ever do, every message will include a working unsubscribe link.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state or national privacy laws. We apply the practices above to everyone, so you don't need to cite a statute — but if you want to make a request under a specific law, contact us and we'll respond as that law requires.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
If your browser or a browser extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, the Site detects it and tells Google not to use advertising cookies for your visit — before any Google tag loads, automatically, on every page, with no email and no account needed. We treat GPC as a valid request to opt out of sharing. Analytics stays on; the analytics opt-out above is a separate control.
"Do Not Track" is an older signal that browsers send inconsistently and that was never given an agreed meaning, so we do not act on it. GPC and the controls above do the same job properly.
Security
The Site is served entirely over HTTPS, we collect the minimum information needed for each purpose, and no payment information is collected on the Site.
Where data is processed
The Site is operated from the United States and directed at businesses in North America. If you visit from elsewhere, your information will be processed in the United States.
Children
The Site is for businesses. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the Site handles information, we'll update this page and its "Last updated" date. Material changes will be noted here.
