Information we collect

• Inquiries and direct communication: Your name, email address, business or organization, project information, and anything else you choose to include. The website inquiry form opens your email application; your message is sent only when you choose to send it.
• F.O.C.U.S. Assessment: Your first name, email address, assessment answers, category scores, overall score, recommended focus area, and the page or referral source connected with the submission.
• BestFriend FOCUS Reset: The name, email address, goals, priorities, bottlenecks, and action steps you enter are processed only to create and deliver the summary you request. Downloaded copies are created in your browser. Completing the reset does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
• Text Blog comments: The display name or nickname you provide, your comment, the related post, timestamps, and any public reply from BestFriend. Your display name and comment are publicly visible.
• Optional analytics: If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, interactions, approximate location, referral source, and browser or device information.
• Technical information: Hosting and security providers may automatically process limited technical logs, such as IP address, request time, and browser information, to deliver and protect the website.

How we use information

We use information to provide assessment and FOCUS Reset results, respond to inquiries, recommend relevant next steps, operate and moderate comments, improve site content and performance, understand how visitors find and use the website, prevent misuse, and meet legal obligations.

Cookies and analytics choices

Google Analytics is optional on this website and does not load unless you select Accept Analytics. If accepted, Google may use cookies such as _ga to distinguish browsers and measure site activity. You can decline during your first visit or change your choice later through Cookie Preferences in the footer.

The website stores your analytics choice in your browser so it can remember your preference. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

How information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website, including website hosting, database, email, Google Analytics, and Google Sheets or Apps Script services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a legitimate business transfer.

Public comments

Text Blog comments are public. Please do not post sensitive personal information. BestFriend may moderate or remove comments, and you may request removal of a comment you submitted by emailing us with enough information to identify it.

Retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including communication, recordkeeping, security, and legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided. You may also decline analytics, change your cookie preference, avoid submitting optional information, or request removal of a public comment. Some requests may be limited where retention is required by law or needed for security and legitimate business records.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, and organizations. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

External websites

The website may link to third-party tools, downloads, social platforms, or other websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy as the website, business, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be revised when material updates are made.
