This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected through latoyabowman.com, how it's used, and the choices you have. This site is operated by Latoya Bowman as a small business. This policy is intended to align with applicable U.S. state privacy laws, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), and general data protection best practices.

Information We Collect

• Contact and project information you submit through intake or contact forms, such as your name, email, phone number, and project details, collected via Tally.
• Booking and payment information when you schedule a consultation, processed through Cal.com and Stripe. Payment card details are handled directly by Stripe and are never stored on this site.
• Usage data collected automatically when you browse the site, such as pages visited, approximate geographic location (derived from IP address, not GPS), and browser/device type, via Google Analytics.

How We Use Information

We use the information collected to respond to inquiries, schedule and conduct consultations, process consultation fee payments, and understand how the site is used so we can improve it over time.

Cookies & Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, which places cookies in your browser to help us understand site traffic and usage patterns.

When you first visit this site, you'll be asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies via a banner. You can change this choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site or adjusting your browser's cookie settings. You can also disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, or use Google's opt-out tools to limit analytics tracking.

Third-Party Services

This site relies on a small number of trusted third-party services to operate:

• Tally for intake and contact forms
• Cal.com for scheduling consultations
• Stripe for processing payments
• Google Analytics for site traffic insights

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your information, and we encourage you to review them directly.

Data Retention

We retain contact and booking information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, provide services, and maintain accurate business records.

• Booking and payment records are retained for up to 7 years to comply with standard tax and accounting requirements.
• Contact form submissions are retained until your inquiry is resolved or you request deletion.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
