What we keep,and what we don't.
A plain-language explanation of how Applied Ego collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use our site and services. Written to be read, not skimmed — but kept short on purpose.

- Contact details. Name, email, phone — whenever you fill out a form, request a proposal, or write in.

How information is used

SMS & text messaging
If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages from Applied Ego, the following applies:
- How you opt in. You can consent through a web form on this site by entering your phone number and checking the box agreeing to receive text messages, or verbally by providing your number and agreeing to receive texts when you call or book a service. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
- Message frequency. Message frequency varies.
- Rates. Message and data rates may apply.
- Opting out & help. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages, or HELP for help. Every message includes the business name.
Mobile phone numbers are never shared or sold to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information collected for text messaging is not shared with third parties for their own marketing.
Data retention
Personal information is retained for as long as necessary to provide the services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and use.
Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are in place to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Your choices & rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, use the contact details below.
Children's privacy
The services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). Personal information from children is not knowingly collected. If you believe a child has provided their information, write in and it will be deleted.
International users
If you access the services from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the U.S. or other locations where we or our service providers operate.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date above will move, and additional notice will be provided when the change is meaningful.
