Website &
messaging privacy.

Information you choose to share

The inquiry form lets you enter your name, email address, business name, service interest, and message. When you press “Send message,” the website forwards those details through FormSubmit to Consults@midwestconsults.com so we can respond to your inquiry. Your email address is used as the Reply-To address. You do not need to open an email app or create an account. The full inquiry is not saved in this website’s database. FormSubmit applies its spam controls to submitted forms. The page also prevents repeated clicks while a send is in progress.

If you follow the Facebook or Messenger links, your interaction continues on Meta’s services and is subject to their privacy practices.

Facebook Page conversations

When authorized and enabled, the private inbox retrieves recent conversations with the Midwest Consults Facebook Page, including participants’ names, Page-scoped identifiers, message text, sender information, and timestamps. This information is used to read and respond to business inquiries.

The inbox is restricted to the business owner. Replies are sent to Meta only when the owner chooses to send them. The application does not create a separate message archive in a website database. Messages may be displayed temporarily in the owner’s browser while the inbox is open. Attachments and older conversations can be viewed through Meta’s own services.

This website does not use Facebook conversation contents for advertising profiles or sell those contents.

Client accounts and project workspaces

Clients create accounts through a private invitation issued after a signed consulting agreement. We store first and last name, email address, an optional phone number, a protected password hash, and account and session identifiers. Passwords are not stored as readable text. Phone numbers help Kyle contact clients about account access; they are not used for automated texts.

We store each engagement’s business and client details, signed agreement date and reference, scope summary, milestones, task assignments and statuses, due dates, progress notes, deliverable links, questions, replies, and recent activity. We also store manually entered payment amounts, Cash App payment dates and optional references, receipts, void reasons, uploaded project documents, file metadata, and document requests and review statuses. Documents are kept in private file storage and downloads require access to the project. Uploads keep their author, date, and note; earlier versions remain available. Payment receipts preserve the details recorded when the payment was marked paid. The website does not connect to Cash App, collect payments, or automatically verify transactions. These records support the consulting engagement and let the client and business owner follow the work. Access is limited to the business owner and the client assigned to that project.

Invitations and password reset links expire and can be used once. Only protected versions of their secret tokens are stored. Access-help requests are recorded for Kyle to review. After confirming the client through known contact details, Kyle can share a reset link manually. The website does not automatically email or text reset links or project notifications. Clients should visit the workspace for updates.

Sign-in and service information

Owner pages and the Facebook inbox use ChatGPT sign-in. The hosting service supplies authenticated account information, including an account identifier and email address, to check access. Authentication cookies and security-related information may be processed to provide sign-in, protect the service, and operate the website.

Hosting and infrastructure providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, request details, and service logs. The website also requests fonts from Google Fonts, which involves requests to Google’s servers.

Services involved

Information needed to operate these features may be processed by OpenAI/Sites and its hosting infrastructure, Meta for Facebook messaging, FormSubmit for contact-form processing and email delivery, the business’s email service, and Google for font delivery. Their own privacy notices also apply to their services.

Retention

Client account, project, uploaded document, activity, and payment records are retained to support the engagement and follow-up business records. Contact Kyle to request access, correction, or deletion; records may need to be retained for applicable business obligations. Client sessions expire after seven days, invitations after seven days, and password reset links after one hour. Password reset revokes prior client sessions. The website’s inbox does not store a separate copy of Messenger conversations in its database. FormSubmit states that it retains form submissions for 30 days. Inquiry emails in the business mailbox and Facebook conversations remain in the relevant services until removed under the account’s settings or through a deletion request. Service providers may retain operational or security records under their own policies.

Access, correction & deletion requests

To ask about information you sent to Midwest Consults, request a correction, or request deletion, email Consults@midwestconsults.com with the subject “Privacy or data deletion request.” Include enough information to identify the inquiry or conversation. Do not send passwords, access tokens, or unnecessary identification documents.

We may ask for reasonable information to confirm that the request concerns your information. We will explain what information can be located and address the request as applicable. Requests concerning data held directly by Meta, your email provider, or your ChatGPT account may also need to be made through that provider’s controls. Deleting a copy held by Midwest Consults does not automatically delete every copy held by a separate provider.

The business owner can also revoke the app’s Page access in Meta’s settings to disconnect Facebook messaging.
