Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 2026
HANA. is operated by Advisory by HANA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company operating from Washington State and a subsidiary of HCDG LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Advisory by HANA LLC). This policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information through thehanacollective.com, including visits redirected from hana-cha.com, hcdg-advisory.com, and related inquiry communications.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide. We collect the information you submit through our contact form or correspondence, such as your name, email address, phone number, company, service interests, and message. Please do not submit health information, financial account details, government identification numbers, or confidential information about other people through the contact form.
Website information. Squarespace, our hosting provider, collects technical and usage information to operate the site. This can include your IP address, browser and device details, referring pages, and pages visited. We also use Squarespace analytics and Google Analytics to understand site activity. Analytics information may include cookie identifiers, approximate location, pages viewed, clicks, and visit times. Google Analytics processes IP addresses during collection but does not log or store individual IP addresses.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
Respond to inquiries and discuss potential advisory engagements.
Communicate with you and maintain records of our business interactions.
Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights.
Submitting an inquiry does not subscribe you to a newsletter or marketing mailing list.
3. How we disclose information
We disclose information as reasonably necessary to providers supporting website hosting, analytics, email, and information storage. This includes Squarespace for hosting and form processing, Google Analytics for site measurement, and Google Workspace/Gmail for inquiry email, Google Drive for form storage. See the Squarespace Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy for their respective practices.
We may also disclose information to professional advisers; to comply with applicable law or valid legal process; to protect rights, safety, or security; or in connection with a proposed or completed business transfer, subject to applicable privacy obligations.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or disclose it to third parties for their own direct marketing.
4. Cookies and tracking
The site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functions and analytics, including Google Analytics to measure visits and interactions. You can manage cookies through your browser and any cookie controls offered on the site. Blocking necessary cookies may affect site functionality. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Google also offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We do not use advertising trackers to follow you across unrelated websites. Squarespace and other enabled service providers may collect information through their technologies across sites where those technologies are used, as described in their privacy policies.
The site does not currently change its practices in response to the older browser “Do Not Track” signal. This is distinct from legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, which we will honor where required by applicable law.
5. Retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, considering the nature of the inquiry, our business relationship, and applicable recordkeeping, legal, and dispute-resolution needs. We then delete or de-identify it, subject to legitimate backup and legal retention requirements.
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your choices and requests
You may contact info@thehanacollective.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you have provided, or to ask about our privacy practices. Depending on applicable law, you may have additional rights, including rights to obtain a copy of your information or object to or restrict certain processing.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will respond as required by applicable law; some information may need to be retained for legal or other permitted purposes. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. You may also use this address to submit a request not to sell your information.
7. Other websites, children, and processing locations
Links to external websites, including social platforms or course providers, lead to services governed by their own privacy policies.
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted information so we can take appropriate action.
We operate in the United States. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.
8. Updates and contact
We may update this policy by posting a revised version and effective date here. We will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
