Privacy Policy

When you use this website or contact us, we may collect:

• Name, email address, and phone number
• Project address or city/state
• Project type, budget, timeline, and contractor details you provide
• Documents, photos, plans, or other files you upload or submit
• Website usage data, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5)

We collect this information only when you voluntarily provide it — for example, by completing and submitting our contact or inquiry form.

Please do not submit highly sensitive personal, financial, insurance, legal, or confidential third-party information through the website unless requested or necessary for your inquiry.

Submitting an inquiry, contact form, or project information through the website does not create a client-consultant relationship. A client relationship is created only when both parties enter into a written agreement.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations
• Prepare proposals and review submitted project information
• Communicate with you about our services and your project
• Send follow-up communications relevant to your inquiry
• Improve the website and the services we offer
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing or follow-up communications at any time by contacting us or using any unsubscribe option provided. We may still send service-related or transactional communications as needed.

We may share your information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our business, including:

• Website hosting and technical infrastructure providers
• Email delivery and communication service providers
• Scheduling, form, or CRM tools we use to manage inquiries
• Professional advisors (e.g., legal or accounting)

We will not share your project information with licensed professionals (architects, engineers, contractors, etc.) without your explicit authorization.

If you make a payment online, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor. MEAA does not store full credit card numbers on its website.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MEAA, our clients, or others.

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and enforcing our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

We take reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the personal information you share with us. However, no website, email transmission, or online system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when transmitting sensitive documents online.

If you have concerns about transmitting sensitive project documents, please contact us directly at consulting@meaagroupconsulting.com to discuss secure alternatives.
