Privacy Policy

North Axis Group may collect information that you voluntarily provide when contacting the firm, requesting a consultation, submitting an inquiry, participating in a professional discussion, or otherwise communicating with North Axis Group.

Depending on the nature of the interaction, information provided may include:

Consultation requests may be collected through third-party form technology, including Jotform. Information submitted through a consultation request may be reviewed by North Axis Group for the purpose of understanding the organization, reviewing the nature of the inquiry, evaluating the professional considerations involved, and determining appropriate next steps.

A consultation form may ask the submitter to confirm their authority to communicate for the organization identified in the request. North Axis Group uses that confirmation to screen, document, and respond to the submission.

Information collected by North Axis Group may be used for legitimate business purposes, including:

The North Axis Group website and its hosting, security, performance, or embedded service technologies may generate cookies, logs, device information, IP addresses, browser information, referring pages, general geographic information, website interactions, or similar technical data used to operate, secure, measure, or improve the website.

Visitors may be able to manage certain cookies or similar technologies through browser settings or controls made available by the applicable website or third-party service.

North Axis Group may use third-party software and service providers to support ordinary business operations. Depending on the function involved, these providers may include platforms used for consultation forms, workflow automation, business email, website hosting, security, invoicing, accounting administration, document management, communications, and related operational functions.

Examples of business platforms that may be used by North Axis Group include Jotform, Zapier, Microsoft 365 and Outlook, and other comparable software or service providers selected to support business operations.

These providers may receive, transmit, store, or otherwise process information where reasonably necessary to perform the service North Axis Group has elected to use. Their handling of information is also governed by their own applicable privacy notices, contractual terms, security practices, and service configurations.

The use of a third-party business platform does not mean that North Axis Group is selling client, prospect, or personal information to that provider. Rather, information may be processed through such providers as part of the operational service they supply.

North Axis Group does not sell or rent personal information for monetary consideration and does not intentionally disclose client or prospect information to third parties for their own independent direct-marketing purposes.

Information may be disclosed to software providers, contractors, professional service providers, or other authorized third parties where reasonably necessary to operate the business, administer systems, process communications, provide requested services, support legitimate business functions, or carry out an authorized engagement.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to protect legal rights or security, investigate misuse or fraud, comply with applicable law, satisfy contractual or insurance obligations, respond to lawful governmental or regulatory requests, or otherwise protect legitimate business interests.

North Axis Group seeks to limit third-party access to information to what is reasonably connected to the business purpose for which the provider, disclosure, or professional relationship is used.

North Axis Group uses administrative, technical, and operational safeguards that it considers reasonable and appropriate to the nature of the information and the size and scope of its operations. These safeguards are intended to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

No internet transmission, electronic storage system, software platform, or digital communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Organizational or personnel information should only be submitted where the sender is authorized to disclose it.

North Axis Group does not request Social Security numbers, government-issued identification numbers, usernames, passwords, banking credentials, bank-account or routing numbers, payment-card details, or protected health information through its public website forms, ordinary email, social media, text messages, or consumer payment applications.

If information of a sensitive financial nature is required for an authorized business transaction, North Axis Group will direct the client to the designated accounting or payment platform identified in official onboarding or invoicing materials. Clients should not transmit that information through any other channel.

If North Axis Group confirms that a security breach involving personal information maintained by or on behalf of the firm affected an individual or organization, North Axis Group will provide notice without unreasonable delay and as required by applicable law, subject to any lawful delay requested by law enforcement.

A notice will describe, to the extent reasonably known at the time, the nature of the incident, the categories and scope of information reasonably believed to have been accessed or acquired, measures taken in response, and recommended steps the affected recipient may take. Because incident investigations may evolve, an initial notice may not identify the exact information involved. North Axis Group may provide additional information when material findings become available or when required by law.

North Axis Group may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential engagements, maintain business records, support ongoing professional relationships, satisfy contractual or insurance obligations, resolve disputes, protect legitimate business interests, and comply with applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.

Information maintained through third-party software or service providers may also be subject to the retention, deletion, backup, or archival practices of those providers.

When information is no longer reasonably required, North Axis Group may delete, de-identify, or archive it consistent with applicable obligations, internal procedures, and the technical capabilities of the systems involved.

The North Axis Group website may contain links to independently operated third-party websites, platforms, forms, or services. When a visitor follows an external link, information collected by that service is handled under the service's own privacy notice and practices, rather than this Privacy Policy.

Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy notice of any third-party service they choose to access.

North Axis Group provides business-to-business and professional advisory services. Its website and consultation process are not directed to children under 13, and the firm does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13. If North Axis Group learns that it has collected such information through the website without appropriate authorization, it will take reasonable steps to delete it, subject to applicable law and system limitations.

Individuals may contact North Axis Group regarding questions about information they have submitted, requests to correct inaccurate information, or other privacy-related concerns.

North Axis Group may request reasonable information to verify identity, organizational authority, or the relationship to the information involved before acting on a request.

Requests remain subject to applicable legal, contractual, security, insurance, and record-retention obligations, as well as technical limitations associated with third-party systems, backups, or archived records.

Where applicable law provides specific privacy rights, North Axis Group will evaluate and respond to a verified request in accordance with the requirements, exceptions, and timeframes established by that law.

North Axis Group may revise this Privacy Policy as business practices, technology, software platforms, services, vendors, or legal requirements evolve.

The effective date displayed at the top of this page identifies the current published version. Material changes will be communicated through the website or another appropriate method when required by applicable law.
