Welcome to HM Strategic Consulting (a division of Heir Media Corp, hereinafter referred to as “the Company”). By accessing or using our website (www.hmstrategicconsulting.com) and our services, you agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions.
Media
If you upload images or documents to the website (e.g., via a “Project Brief” upload field), you should avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can potentially download and extract any location data from images on the website. HM Strategic Consulting is not responsible for the metadata contained within files provided by the user.
Cookies
We utilize standard tracking technologies to improve user experience and analyze website traffic.
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly, such as maintaining secure sessions or load balancing.
Analytics Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our consulting pillars. This data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.
Managing Cookies: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our site may be inaccessible.
Embedded Content
Articles or service pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data Collection & Purpose
We collect data through two primary methods:
Direct Interaction: Information you provide via consultation forms, email, or phone (Names, Titles, Emails, Phone Numbers).
Automated Technologies: Technical data regarding your IP address, browser type, and usage patterns. The purpose of this collection is solely to facilitate professional consulting services, manage client relationships, and ensure the security of our digital environment.
Data Retention
We adhere to a strict data retention schedule to minimize risk:
Consultation Inquiries: If you leave a request for a consultation, the metadata and contact information are retained indefinitely to facilitate follow-up communication and historical context for future engagements.
Contractual Data: For active clients, data is retained for the duration of the contract plus a period of 7 years to comply with federal tax and legal obligations.
User Rights: Any user can request that we see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your data. We only share information with third parties in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share data with vetted partners who provide technical infrastructure, such as secure cloud storage or CRM systems, under strict confidentiality agreements.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a federal agency).
Business Transfers: If HM Strategic Consulting is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as a business asset, subject to the same privacy protections.
No Professional-Client Relationship
Use of this website or communication with HM Strategic Consulting via email or contact forms does not establish a consultant-client relationship. Such a relationship is only formed upon the mutual execution of a written contract and the payment of any required initial fees.
Digital Infrastructure & Technological Advice
For services involving Digital Infrastructure & Systems Intelligence:
The Company provides recommendations based on current industry standards and the data provided by the Client.
The Company is not responsible for third-party software failures, hardware malfunctions, or security breaches resulting from vulnerabilities in the Client’s pre-existing systems or third-party platforms.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HM Strategic Consulting and its officers (including the President and Vice President) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages—including loss of profits, data, or business reputation—arising out of the use of our consulting advice or technical implementations. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by the Client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
Crisis Response & Brand Resilience
While we provide Crisis Navigation strategies under our Growth Strategy pillar, the Company does not guarantee specific market outcomes. The Client remains responsible for all final decisions regarding public communications and legal disclosures.
Confidentiality
We acknowledge that in the course of consulting (especially for Federal and Enterprise clients), we may have access to sensitive information. We agree to maintain the strictest confidentiality regarding Client data, subject to the terms of a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) where applicable.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party sites (such as LinkedIn or Federal portals). We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.
Limitation of Audit Rights
Client audit rights are strictly limited to the specific projects and data associated with the Client’s account. At no time shall the Client have access to the Company’s proprietary internal systems, other client data, or trade secrets.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Your continued use of the site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms and Conditions.
