1. Our Privacy Philosophy

At Huppert Marketing & PR, we believe that privacy is a cornerstone of trust. As a firm specializing in reputation management and strategic communications for public agencies, utilities and nonprofits, we apply the same high standards of data integrity to our own website that we expect from the organizations we represent.

We do not sell your personal information. We only collect the minimum data necessary to provide our services and improve your experience on our site.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

  1. Information You Provide: This includes your name, email address, and any project details you submit via our contact forms or when signing up for our newsletter.
  2. Automated Information: Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with huppertpr.com. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and pages visited.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your information strictly for:

  • Responding to your inquiries and fulfilling service requests.
  • Sending occasional updates on strategic communications, such as wildfire preparedness or utility PR trends (only if you have opted in).
  • Analyzing website performance to ensure our content remains relevant to our industry partners.

4. Our Tech Stack & Service Providers

To maintain a high-performance digital presence, we partner with a select group of trusted service providers. We do not “sell” your data; we “share” it only to the extent necessary for these tools to function:

  • Hosting & Infrastructure: IONOS (Website hosting and server management).
  • Productivity: Microsoft 365 (Email, DNS, and professional communication).
  • Design & Content: Canva and CapCut (For hosted media and design assets).

5. Data Retention & Lifecycle

We don’t believe in “data hoarding.” We retain personal information only as long as necessary:

Inquiries: General contact form data is retained for 2 years following our last communication.

Client Records: Information related to active or past consulting contracts is retained for 7 years to comply with standard legal, tax, and professional record-keeping requirements.

Analytics: Non-identifiable traffic data is managed according to the retention schedules of our analytics providers.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Regardless of your location, we provide all visitors with the following controls:

The Right to Know & Access: You can request a summary of the data we hold about you.

The Right to Correct: You may request that we update inaccurate or incomplete information.

The Right to Delete: You can request that we purge your personal data from our active systems.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our site is configured to recognize and honor GPC signals. If your browser is set to “Do Not Track,” we automatically disable non-essential cookies.
