Privacy policy

What information Westwood Consulting collects when you visit this website, and how that information is used. Written in plain English because legal jargon helps nobody.

Last updated: May 17, 2026

Who I am

Westwood Consulting is a personal venture operated by Kevin Westwood, based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages and is the public-facing front for my coaching and speaking work. Contact: kwestwood186@gmail.com.

What this policy covers

This policy applies only to your visit to this website (westwoodconsulting.ca). It does not cover 1:1 coaching engagements, which are governed by a separate agreement we'll discuss before you book a paid session.

What I collect

Anonymous website analytics

I use Google Analytics 4 to track aggregate visit data: which pages get viewed, approximate location (country/region only), browser type, device type, and time on page. This data is anonymized and is not used to identify individual visitors. Google may set cookies on your device to support this tracking.

If you'd rather not be tracked, you can install a Google Analytics opt-out browser extension, use a privacy-focused browser, or block third-party cookies in your browser settings.

Information you choose to send me

If you email me through any link on this site, you're voluntarily sending me your email address and whatever you choose to write in your message. I read those emails and reply to them. I don't add you to any mailing list and I don't share your email with anyone.

Booking information

If you book a free consultation or paid coaching session through one of the Google Appointment Schedule links on this site, Google collects your name, email, and any answers you provide in the booking form, and shares that information with me so I can prepare for our session. Your booking data is governed by Google's privacy policy — see policies.google.com/privacy.

What I don't collect

Third-party services used on this site

The site relies on a handful of third-party services to function. Each has its own privacy practices:

Your rights under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA)

You have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email me at kwestwood186@gmail.com. I'll respond within 30 days.

Cookies

The only cookies this site sets are from Google Analytics, used to track aggregate visitor behavior. None are used for advertising. You can block them in your browser settings or use an extension like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger.

Data retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. Emails you send me are kept in my Gmail inbox indefinitely unless you ask me to delete them. Booking data in Google Calendar is retained until I manually delete the calendar event.

Children

This site is intended for working-age adults and is not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes meaningfully, I'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and flag significant changes in the site footer or homepage for at least 30 days.

Questions

If anything in this policy is unclear, or you'd like to exercise any of your rights, email kwestwood186@gmail.com.
