DAT Strategy – Our Privacy Strategy
Last Updated: August 1, 2026
Strategy is about making the right decisions with the right information.
At DAT Strategy, we help clients do exactly that. And we apply the same discipline to your personal data.
This isn’t a boilerplate policy. It’s a clear, honest account of what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. Consider it part of our commitment to transparency – because good strategy requires trust, and trust starts with knowing exactly where you stand.
The intelligence we gather
We collect only what we actually need to serve you. Nothing more.
Your name, email, and any other contact details you share – so we can talk to you, send you relevant content, and respond to your questions.
Your professional context – job title, company, industry, or project goals – so we can tailor our advice to your real situation.
Communication history – what we've discussed, what we've delivered, so we stay consistent and don't waste your time.
Basic website analytics – anonymised IP, browser type, pages visited, and referral source – so we know what content resonates and how to improve our site.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (health, religion, political views, biometrics). We do not track you across the internet. We do not buy or import third‑party data about you.
How we deploy your information
We use your data for clear, limited purposes:
To answer your inquiries and provide the strategic support you've asked for.
To send you updates, articles, or event invitations – but only if you opt in, and you can opt out with one click.
To process payments and manage invoices (through secure gateways – we never see your full card number).
To comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.
To improve our offerings based on aggregate feedback and usage patterns.
We do not sell your data. We do not trade it for favours. We do not share it with any third party for their own marketing.
Who gets briefed?
Almost no one outside our core team. The only exceptions:
Trusted service providers who power our operations – email platforms, secure storage, payment processing, scheduling tools. They receive only the data they need and are contractually bound to protect it.
Collaborative partners – but only if you give explicit consent first.
Legal or regulatory authorities – only when compelled by law, and we will notify you unless prohibited.
We treat your data as confidential business intelligence. It stays inside our circle unless absolutely necessary.
Where your data resides
We use globally recognised platforms with high‑security standards. Your data may be stored on servers in different countries, but all our providers maintain GDPR‑equivalent protections (Standard Contractual Clauses or similar safeguards).
Payment data is handled exclusively by PCI‑compliant processors – we never store your card details ourselves.
Retention schedule
We keep your data only as long as it serves a purpose:
While we have an active relationship – plus up to 2 years after our last interaction, in case you return.
Financial records are retained for the period required by tax law (typically 5–7 years).
After that, we delete or anonymise everything – clean, no clutter.
Your command authority
You own your data. That means you have the right to:
Access – see exactly what we hold about you.
Correct – fix any inaccuracies.
Delete – request removal (unless we're legally required to keep it).
Restrict – limit processing while we resolve a dispute.
Port – take your data in a machine‑readable format.
Object – stop marketing or other legitimate‑interest uses.
Withdraw consent – anytime you've given permission.
To exercise any of these rights, simply email furnisdunn@gmail.com. We'll respond within 30 days. We may ask for identification to confirm it's really you.
If you're in the EU, UK, Switzerland, or California, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Kids? Not our arena.
Our services are for adults (18+). We don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you're a parent and believe your child has shared information, tell us and we'll remove it immediately.
Cookies – minimal footprint
We use only essential cookies for site functionality and lightweight analytics (to see which pages are most useful). No tracking for ads, no retargeting, no creepy profiling. You can disable cookies in your browser – though some parts of the site may not work perfectly.
Links to external intelligence
Our website may link to other resources or partner sites. We don't control their privacy practices. Always review their policies before sharing your data.
Policy reviews
We may update this page from time to time. The date at the top will always reflect the latest version. For material changes, we'll notify you directly (email or site notice). Our core stance won't change: your data is yours, not ours.
Final word
By engaging with DAT Strategy – visiting our website, emailing us, or working with us – you're trusting us with your information. We take that responsibility seriously. If you ever feel uncertain or have questions, reach out. We're strategists – we like clear answers.
