You tell us a lot in an engagement: your compensation, why you are leaving, what you actually think of your own leadership. We do not sell any of it, and we never have.
There is one deliberate exception, and it is the thing you are paying for. When we introduce you to a recruiter, we share what makes the introduction work. Section 4 spells out exactly what that means and how to limit it.
We never see your full card number. You can ask us at any time for a copy of everything we hold on you, or ask us to delete it.
Elevated Executive Inc, an Arizona corporation doing business as Elevated Exec, is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Under European and United Kingdom data protection law we are the “controller” of that information.

This policy covers elevatedexec.com, the Executive Market Index™ assessment, and every engagement we deliver. It applies to executives who buy from us, people who take the assessment, and visitors to the Site.

| Transaction information | What you bought, the amount, the date, billing name, billing address, and the last four digits and brand of your card. |
We never receive your full card number. Payment details are captured directly by Stripe, Inc. and are never stored on our systems.
We do not ask for government identification numbers, financial account numbers, health information, biometric data, precise geolocation, or information about race, religion, political opinions, trade union membership, sex life, or sexual orientation. Please do not send them to us. If you do, we will delete them unless you have asked us to retain something for a specific and lawful reason.

Making introductions is the product you are buying, and it necessarily involves sharing information about you. We want this to be the clearest paragraph in the document.
When we introduce you to an executive recruiter, a search firm, or a contact in our network, we share what is necessary to make the introduction land. In practice that means your name, your background and track record, your current situation, your target roles and sectors, your geography, and your timing. It may include your résumé and your compensation expectations where the recruiter needs them to assess fit.
Named executive recruiters, retained search firms, and individual contacts we select for relevance to your search. We do not distribute your information to a list, a database, a job board, or an aggregator.
Tell us in writing, before introductions begin, what you do not want passed along. Common examples are your current employer, your compensation, or the fact that you are looking at all. We will honor it. You may also withdraw from introductions at any point by emailing john@elevatedexec.com.
A recruiter who receives your information becomes an independent controller of it and handles it under their own privacy practices. We cannot retrieve or delete information already shared with them, though we will tell you who received what so you can contact them directly.
In a Mapping engagement, John may send outreach under his own name to contacts in your Market Matrix. That outreach identifies you and describes your candidacy. You approve the approach before it begins.
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Assessment responses and score, where no purchase follows | 24 months from completion, then deleted |
| Engagement records, session notes, and deliverables | 7 years from the end of the engagement, to support the guarantee, resolve disputes, and meet record keeping obligations |
| Transaction and accounting records | 7 years, as required by tax and corporate law |
| Marketing contact details | Until you unsubscribe, then a minimal suppression record so we do not email you again |
| Website analytics and logs | 26 months |
Where you ask us to delete information, we do so unless we are required to keep it, in which case we tell you which category applies and for how long.
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies:
We do not run advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third party ad networks on the Site.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working.
Browsers send a Do Not Track signal that has no agreed standard meaning. We do not respond to it. We do honor the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out of sale or sharing, though as stated above we do not sell or share personal information.
Our emails may contain a small pixel that tells us whether the message was opened. Disabling image loading in your email client prevents this.
We use encryption in transit, access controls limited to those who need the information, reputable vendors with their own security programs, and separation of payment data so that card numbers never touch our systems.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant regulator where the law requires it, without undue delay.
Please help us by using a unique password on any account you create with our providers and by telling us promptly if you believe someone has gained access to your information.
Whatever jurisdiction you are in, you may ask us to give you a copy of the information we hold about you, correct anything inaccurate, delete information we no longer need, or stop sending you marketing. Write to john@elevatedexec.com.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, you have the right to know what we collect, use, and disclose; to delete personal information; to correct inaccurate information; to opt out of sale or sharing, which does not apply to us because we do neither; to limit the use of sensitive personal information, which we do not collect; and to not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights. We will not deny you a service, charge you a different price, or give you a lower quality of service because you exercised a privacy right. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written proof of authority.
You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority, or with the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom. We would appreciate the chance to address it first.
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have comparable rights, including the right to appeal a refusal. We apply the same process to everyone.
We operate from the United States, and our service providers are principally located there. If you are outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not offer the same level of protection as your home country.
Where we transfer personal information out of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with appropriate technical and organizational measures. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by emailing us.
Our Services are for senior executives and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, write to john@elevatedexec.com and we will delete it promptly.
The Site links to third parties, including LinkedIn, our payment and scheduling providers, and the assessment host. This policy does not cover them. Read their privacy policies before giving them information.
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top tells you when the current version took force. If we make a material change, we will post notice on the Site and, where we hold your email address and the change affects you, tell you directly before it takes effect. Dated prior versions are available on request.
