About
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 31, 2026
Origston Consulting Group ("Origston," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share with us. This comprehensive Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you when you visit our website or communicate with us. We believe transparency is essential to building trust with our clients and visitors.
As a Texas-based consulting firm serving clients across the United States and internationally, we understand the importance of data privacy and security in today's digital landscape. This policy reflects our commitment to responsible data stewardship and compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.
Information We Collect
We collect information in three primary ways to provide you with excellent service while maintaining transparency about our data practices. Understanding what information we gather and why helps you make informed decisions about engaging with Origston Consulting Group.
Information You Provide
When you complete a contact form, request a briefing, download materials, or communicate with us directly, you may voluntarily provide information including your name, organization, professional title, email address, phone number, and message details. You control what information you share, and we only request information necessary to respond effectively to your inquiry or provide the services you request. Any attachments you upload or email to us are handled with appropriate care and confidentiality.
Automatic Collection and Third-Party Sources
Automatic Collection
When you visit our website, certain technical information is collected automatically to ensure proper functionality and security. This includes your IP address and approximate geographic location, device type, browser type, and operating system. We also track pages viewed, time spent on our site, referring pages, and links clicked to improve user experience. Basic website performance and security logs help us maintain a safe, efficient platform for all visitors.
Third-Party Information
We may receive limited information from trusted third parties such as analytics providers or business partners, but only as necessary to operate, secure, and improve our website and services. These sources are carefully vetted and contractually obligated to handle data responsibly. We never purchase marketing lists or engage in practices that compromise your privacy expectations.
How We Use Your Information
Transparency about data usage is fundamental to our approach. We use collected information exclusively for legitimate business purposes that directly benefit you or protect the integrity of our services.
1
Communication and Service Delivery
Responding to your inquiries promptly and professionally, scheduling and conducting briefing calls or consultations, and providing requested materials such as capability statements and industry insights.
2
Website Operations
Operating, maintaining, and continuously improving our website to ensure optimal performance, usability, and accessibility for all visitors.
3
Security and Compliance
Protecting against fraud, abuse, and security threats while complying with legal obligations and enforcing our terms of service to maintain a safe environment.

Important: We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. Human judgment remains central to our processes.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where required by applicable law, particularly for visitors outside the United States, Origston processes personal information based on recognized legal grounds that balance our business needs with your privacy rights.
Understanding Your Rights
Different legal bases provide different rights. For example, when processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. When based on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object. We're committed to honoring these rights regardless of your location.
Our team stays current with evolving privacy regulations worldwide, including GDPR, CCPA, and emerging frameworks, to ensure our practices meet or exceed applicable standards.
When We Share Information
Origston does not sell personal information. This commitment is absolute and fundamental to our business model. We share information only when necessary and appropriate to deliver services, comply with legal requirements, or protect legitimate interests.
Service Providers
We work with carefully selected companies that help us operate our website and communications infrastructure, including email service providers, web hosting companies, and analytics platforms. These service providers are contractually permitted to use your information only to provide services to us, never for their own purposes. We conduct due diligence on all third-party vendors to ensure they maintain appropriate security and privacy standards.
Legal Compliance
We disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request, or when necessary to protect rights, safety, and security. This includes cooperation with law enforcement when legally obligated and taking action against violations of our terms or policies. We review each legal request carefully and provide only the information specifically required.
Business Transfers
If Origston is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such cases, we would notify affected individuals and ensure the receiving party commits to privacy practices at least as protective as this policy.
Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website effectively, understand usage patterns, improve performance, and enhance security. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize you on return visits and remember your preferences.
Types of cookies we use include essential cookies required for basic site functionality, analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with our site, and security cookies that help detect and prevent unauthorized access. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies for marketing purposes.
Your Cookie Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality and your user experience.
Third-Party Analytics
When we use third-party analytics tools, they may collect usage data through cookies or similar technologies to help us understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most valuable, and where improvements are needed.
Data Retention and Security
Responsible data stewardship requires both limiting how long we keep information and protecting it while we have it. We've implemented comprehensive policies addressing both dimensions.
Retention Principles
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. This includes responding to your requests, maintaining business records required for operations, meeting legal and regulatory obligations, and resolving disputes.
Retention periods vary based on the type of information and purpose of collection. For example, contact form submissions are typically retained for two years, while information related to active client engagements may be retained longer as required by professional standards and contract law.
Multi-Layered Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include access controls, encryption for data in transit, regular security assessments, employee training on data protection, and incident response procedures.
Realistic Expectations
While we take security seriously and invest in appropriate safeguards, no website, system, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We encourage you to take your own precautions, such as using strong passwords and being cautious about what information you share online.
Confidentiality and Sensitive Information

Critical Advisory: Please do not submit confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information through website contact forms unless specifically requested and an appropriate confidentiality arrangement (such as an NDA) is in place.
As a consulting firm, we recognize that many potential engagements involve sensitive business information. While our website contact forms are secure, they are not designed for transmitting highly confidential materials without prior arrangement. Standard web forms, even secure ones, may not provide the level of protection required for trade secrets, proprietary business strategies, or sensitive personal information.
If you need to share sensitive materials as part of an inquiry or ongoing engagement, please contact us directly at info@origstonconsulting.com to arrange a secure method of transmission. We can establish appropriate confidentiality agreements and secure communication channels before any sensitive information is exchanged.
This approach protects both you and Origston by ensuring that confidential information is handled through proper channels with clear legal protections in place. Once confidentiality arrangements are established, we maintain strict protocols for handling, storing, and disposing of sensitive materials in accordance with professional consulting standards.
Your Rights and Contact Information
We respect your privacy rights and provide multiple ways to exercise control over your personal information. Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights under privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable regulations.
01
Access Your Information
Request access to personal information we hold about you, including what data we have and how we use it.
02
Request Corrections
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information to ensure our records are current.
03
Request Deletion
Request deletion of certain information, subject to legal retention requirements and legitimate business needs.
04
Object or Restrict
Object to or restrict certain types of processing, such as direct marketing or processing based on legitimate interests.
05
Withdraw Consent
Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.
Additional Information
Children's Privacy: Origston's website is intended for a general business audience and not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
International Visitors: Origston is based in the United States. If you access our website from outside the U.S., your information may be processed and stored in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your location.
Policy Updates: We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Updates will be posted here with a revised date.
