Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
This policy explains what DB Consulting & Training Inc. (“Dorothy Botsoe”, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit this website, how that information is used, and the choices you have. It is written in plain language on purpose — if anything here is unclear, email us and we will explain it.
What we collect
We only ask for what we genuinely need to reply to you or to prepare for an event. There are two ways information reaches us:
- Messages you send us
- When you use the contact form we receive your name, email address, subject, and message. When you use the booking form we also receive your phone number, organization, the type of engagement you're exploring, the event date, location, audience size, an optional budget range, and any details you share about your event or audience.
- Basic visit information
- Like most websites, we keep a simple count of which pages and sections people read, which site sent you here (for example a search engine or a social post), whether you arrived on a phone or a computer, and roughly when the visit happened. This is stored as a small count, not as a profile about you.
You are never required to give us anything. Optional fields can be left blank, though a little context (like your organization or the event date) helps us give you a useful answer the first time.
How we use it
Information is used for practical, limited purposes:
- To answer you
- We read your message and reply, usually within a few business days.
- To plan engagements
- We use your event details to check availability, prepare materials, and confirm travel and scheduling.
- To improve the site
- Visit counts tell us which talks, books, and pages people actually read, so we know what to write more of.
We do not sell your information, rent it, or pass it to advertising networks. Your details are not used to build an advertising profile about you.
Embedded players and outside links
Some pages include a podcast player and a video that are served by their own platforms. When you press play, that platform receives standard technical details such as your internet address. Those services have their own privacy practices, which this policy does not cover.
Our footer links to LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Clicking one takes you to that company, where its own policy applies from that moment.
How long we keep things
Messages and booking requests are kept while they remain useful — to answer you, to honor a confirmed engagement, and to keep accurate business records. Visit counts are kept for up to twelve months and then removed.
If you ask us to delete your details, we remove them from active records, except where we must keep a copy for legitimate business or legal reasons.
How we protect it
Access to messages, booking requests, and analytics is limited to authorized accounts with a private sign-in. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold.
No method of sending or storing data online is perfectly secure, so we ask that you avoid sending anything unusually sensitive (such as financial account numbers or health information) through the website forms.
Your choices
You can ask us at any time to:
- Show you what we hold
- We'll send you a copy of the messages or details we have that relate to you.
- Correct it
- If something is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
- Delete it
- Ask and we'll remove your information from our active records.
- Stop contacting you
- Say the word and we'll take you off our follow-up list.
Email dorothy@dbconsultingandtraining.com and we'll respond within 30 days. The site is written for professionals and organizations; we do not knowingly collect information from children.
If this policy changes
We may update this page as the site grows. Any changes are posted here with a new “Last updated” date at the top, so checking back is always enough.
