Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 28, 2026

1. Introduction

The Colored Society LLC (“The Colored Society,” “TCS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit a consultation request or other form, engage our legal or business consulting services, inquire about speaking or workshops, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with The Colored Society.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including when you:

Submit a consultation request or contact form
Inquire about legal consulting, business consulting, ongoing advisory services, speaking engagements, or workshops
Communicate with us by email, telephone, or other means
Engage The Colored Society for services
Register for or participate in an event, workshop, or other offering
Make a payment, purchase, or voluntary contribution

Depending on your interaction with us, the information collected may include:

First and last name
Email address
Telephone number
Business, company, or organization name
Information regarding the type of services you are seeking
Information you voluntarily include in messages, consultation requests, or other communications
Transaction and payment-related information
Other information you voluntarily provide to us

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information through the website consultation form. Submission of a consultation request or other website form does not, by itself, create an attorney client relationship.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically through Wix and other technologies used to operate the website.

This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring or exit pages, pages viewed, dates and times of visits, interactions with the website, and other usage or technical information.

We may use this information to operate and secure the website, understand how visitors use it, improve functionality and user experience, and evaluate the effectiveness of our website and services.

Wix states that its platform may collect technical and usage information and that Wix sites may use cookies for security, functionality, performance, and analytics.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through the website or provided directly to us to:

First and last name
Email address
Respond to inquiries and consultation requests
Evaluate whether and how we may be able to assist a prospective client
Communicate regarding legal consulting, business consulting, ongoing advisory services, speaking engagements, workshops, or other services
Provide and administer services requested by clients
Schedule consultations, meetings, speaking engagements, or events
Process transactions and payments
Maintain business and client records
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website
Analyze website usage and performance
Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, ethical, accounting, and professional obligations
Protect the rights, property, security, and integrity of The Colored Society, our clients, website visitors, and others

We will not use personal information for purposes materially inconsistent with those described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent when required.

5. Consultation Requests and Prospective Clients

Information submitted through our website does not create an attorney client relationship, and The Colored Society has not agreed to represent you merely because you contact us or submit a consultation request.

Please do not provide confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information through the website before an attorney client relationship has been formally established.

Where applicable, information received from prospective legal clients will be handled in accordance with applicable professional and ethical obligations.

This last sentence is worth keeping. Texas's current rules expressly address a lawyer's duties concerning certain information learned from a prospective client even when no attorney client relationship ultimately follows.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide requested services, including to service providers that assist us with website hosting, forms, scheduling, payment processing, communications, analytics, data storage, professional services, or other business operations.

For example, our website is hosted through Wix, and information submitted through Wix forms or generated through use of the website may be processed through Wix's systems.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, regulation, court order, legal process, professional obligation, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, security, clients, or others.

Third party service providers process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

7. Payments and Financial Information

If you make a payment, purchase, or voluntary contribution through a third party payment provider, your transaction may be processed directly by that provider.

The Colored Society does not necessarily receive or retain complete payment card, banking, or other financial account information submitted directly to third party payment processors.

Your use of third party payment platforms is also subject to the applicable provider's terms and privacy practices.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website usage, and analyze website performance.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function, while others may support analytics or other nonessential functions.

Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or otherwise manage cookies. Depending on your location and applicable law, additional cookie controls or consent options may also be available through the website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

This reflects Wix's current guidance that Wix sites use essential cookies and may also use additional cookies through Wix business solutions, analytics, or third party integrations.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.

10. Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide services, maintain appropriate business and professional records, comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, contractual, or ethical obligations, resolve disputes, and protect or enforce our rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which may include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.

You may also contact us regarding questions or concerns about our collection or use of your information.

Requests may be submitted to admin@thecoloredsociety.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests and may retain information where permitted or required by law or applicable professional obligations.

Wix provides site owners with mechanisms for handling access and deletion requests submitted by website visitors.

12. Third Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third party websites, payment platforms, social media services, scheduling tools, or other third party services.

We do not control the privacy practices of third parties and are not responsible for their websites, services, security, or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third party services before providing personal information to them.

13. Children's Privacy

Our website and professional services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or applicable legal requirements.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on this page and update the Effective Date above.
