Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 14 July 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Howutu Tiyaxu ("we", "us", or "our"), operating at 30 St Laurence Rd, Philadelphia, PA, collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information obtained through the website howutu-tiyaxu.info and through direct communications including phone calls and email. This policy applies to all visitors, inquirers, and clients in the United States. It is written to comply with applicable US privacy law including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Pennsylvania data protection framework, and general Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on privacy disclosures.
We collect personal information in the following categories:
Contact and identity information: When you contact us by phone, email, or through the website contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not require you to provide a phone number through the website form, though you may provide one voluntarily.
Professional background information: During the intake call and in written communications related to service delivery, we collect information about your employment history, career gap, target roles, and any other professional information you choose to share. This information is used exclusively for the purpose of writing your resume or professional profile.
Technical and usage data: When you visit the website, we may collect standard technical data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is collected through standard server logs and, if cookies are accepted, through cookie-based analytics tools.
Cookie data: We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed at the top of the website.
We use collected information for the following purposes:
Service delivery: Professional background information shared during intake calls and written communications is used solely to write the resume or professional profile documents you have commissioned. This information is not used for any other purpose.
Communication: Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries, confirm appointments, deliver documents, and communicate about your project. We do not send marketing communications without explicit consent.
Website operation: Technical data is used to maintain website security, diagnose technical issues, and understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use technical data to identify individual visitors for marketing purposes.
Legal compliance: We may use or retain information as required by applicable law, including in response to valid legal process.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.
Service providers: We may share limited information with third-party service providers who assist in operating the website or delivering services, such as email hosting providers. These providers are contractually restricted from using information for any purpose other than providing services to us.
Legal requirements: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud.
Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected individuals before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Contact and inquiry information is retained for a period of two years from the date of last contact, after which it is deleted unless retention is required by law or ongoing business relationship.
Professional background information collected during the intake process and used in service delivery is retained for the duration of the project and for one year following final document delivery. After this period, detailed professional background notes are deleted. Basic project records including client name, package type, and delivery date may be retained for up to five years for business record purposes.
Technical log data is retained for up to 90 days and then deleted or anonymized.
Depending on your state of residence, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to know: You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for which it is used, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared.
Right to delete: You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law (such as information needed to complete a transaction you requested or information we are required to retain by law).
Right to correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. No opt-out mechanism is required for this practice because we do not engage in it.
Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
California residents have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA. Residents of other states with applicable privacy laws including Virginia (CDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and Texas (TDPSA) have similar rights under those respective laws.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or by calling +1 610-449-0600. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days as required by applicable law.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted email communications where supported, password-protected document storage, and restricted access to client files.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is fully secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us electronically. If you have concerns about transmitting sensitive information, contact us by phone to discuss alternative arrangements.
The services described on this website are professional services directed at adults in the workforce. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us at [email protected].
