Markides Advisory

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Markides Advisory ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit the website or interact with the business.

By using the website, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

1. Who We Are and How to Contact Us

Business name: Markides Advisory
Business location: Austin, Texas, USA
Email: michael@markidesadvisory.com

If you have questions about this Policy or how personal information is handled, contact us at the email above.

2. Information Collected

Data collection is intentionally limited. The following information may be collected:

Information you provide directly

When you email, your email address and any information included in the message may be received. When you book a meeting through a scheduling tool (for example, Calendly), your name, email address, and any information you choose to submit in the booking form may be received.

Basic technical information

The hosting provider may automatically collect standard log information, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, to operate and secure the website. Google Analytics and other marketing analytics tools are not currently used on the site.

Sensitive personal information, such as government ID numbers, financial account numbers, or health information, is not intentionally collected through the website.

3. How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to:

  • communicate about enquiries, potential engagements, and services;
  • schedule and hold meetings;
  • operate, maintain, and improve the website and services; and
  • meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and compliance obligations.

Personal information is not sold.

4. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with:

  • Service providers used to operate the business, such as email and productivity tools, scheduling tools, and website hosting providers;
  • Professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, where reasonably necessary; and
  • Authorities where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights or the rights of others.

These third parties may use information only to provide services to Markides Advisory or as otherwise required by law.

5. Cookies and Tracking

The website currently uses only basic, essential cookies or similar technologies that may be required by the hosting provider to operate the site securely. Google Analytics, advertising cookies, and other marketing tracking tools are not currently used.

If analytics, tracking pixels, or similar tools are added in the future, this Policy will be updated and, where required by law, appropriate notice or consent mechanisms will be provided.

6. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, including use of reputable service providers, access controls, and limiting access to those who need it for business purposes.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

7. Data Retention

Personal information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • respond to enquiries and maintain relationships;
  • provide and document consulting services; and
  • comply with legal, tax, accounting, or compliance requirements.

When information is no longer needed, it will be deleted or anonymized, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain records.

8. Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to:

  • access personal information held about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of information, subject to legal limits; and
  • object to or restrict certain processing.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email above. Identity may need to be verified before a request is fulfilled.

9. Third-Party Websites

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services, such as Calendly or LinkedIn. Markides Advisory is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

10. Children's Privacy

The website and services are not directed to children under 16, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and it will be deleted.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When updates are made, the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Policy.
