Terms and Conditions of Use (TOU) and Privacy Policy

SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC provides the Terms and Conditions of Use (TOU) for our website below. Questions concerning these TOU may be submitted to info@sixfiftythree.net.

SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC

Effective date: September 17, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

This website is operated by SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC ("SixFiftyThree," "we," "us," or "our"), an Illinois limited liability company based in Lake Villa, Illinois. By visiting this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

2. What this website is

This website describes the data consulting services SixFiftyThree offers and gives you a way to get in touch. It is an informational and marketing site. Nothing on it is an offer to enter into a contract, and nothing on it creates a consulting engagement between you and SixFiftyThree.

3. No professional advice and no client relationship

The content on this site is general information about data governance, analytics, reporting, and related services. It is not professional advice about your specific business, finances, accounting, tax position, or legal obligations, and you should not act on it as though it were.

A consulting relationship with SixFiftyThree begins only when both parties sign a written agreement describing the work. Submitting the contact form, scheduling a call, or exchanging email does not by itself create that relationship, and information you send before an agreement is signed is not covered by the confidentiality terms of an engagement. Please do not send sensitive or confidential business information through this website.

4. Permitted use

You may view, download, and print pages from this site for your own business evaluation purposes. You may not:

  • copy, republish, or redistribute the content for commercial purposes without our written permission;
  • use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or bulk-download the site;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its server, or any connected system;
  • interfere with the site's normal operation, including through excessive automated requests;
  • use the contact form to send advertising, solicitations, chain messages, or malicious content;
  • use the site in any way that violates applicable law.

5. Intellectual property

The text, page designs, graphics, photographs, service descriptions, and the SixFiftyThree name and logo on this site are owned by SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC or used with permission, and are protected by copyright and trademark law. Your use of the site does not transfer any ownership or license to you beyond the permitted use described above.

6. What you send us

When you submit the contact form you give us the information you typed into it. You are responsible for making sure that information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. By submitting it, you allow us to use it to respond to your inquiry and to evaluate whether we can help, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Do not submit anyone else's personal information, protected health information, payment card data, government identification numbers, or trade secrets through this website.

7. Links to other sites

This site links to third-party services, including a Google scheduling page and social profiles. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8. Availability

We try to keep the site accurate and available, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or current. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it at any time without notice. Service descriptions, timelines, and examples on this site are illustrative and may change.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SixFiftyThree disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and does not warrant that the site will be secure or free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Illinois law, SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC and its members will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of this website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to this website is limited to one hundred United States dollars (USD 100.00). This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC and its members from any claim, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of this website or your violation of these terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this website or these terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after we post a change means you accept the updated terms.

14. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.

15. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to info@sixfiftythree.net or by phone at 224-653-8043.

SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC’s Privacy Policy is below. Questions concerning this policy may be submitted to info@sixfiftythree.net.

SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC

Effective date: September 17, 2026

SixFiftyThree Consulting LLC is a data consulting practice based in Lake Villa, Illinois. We take the position that a consultant who advises businesses on handling data responsibly should collect as little of yours as possible. This policy explains exactly what this website collects, where it goes, and what you can ask us to do about it.

1. What this policy covers

This policy covers www.sixfiftythree.net. It does not cover information you give us during a signed consulting engagement, which is governed by the confidentiality terms of that agreement, and it does not cover third-party sites we link to.

2. Information you give us

The only place this website asks for information is the contact form. When you submit it, we receive:

  • first name
  • last name
  • email address
  • phone number
  • the primary challenge you selected
  • your message
  • how you heard about us

We ask for all seven because they are what we need to respond usefully. We do not ask for payment information, government identification numbers, or any special category of personal data, and you should not send those through this site.

3. Information collected automatically

This website does not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, remarketing tags, session recording, heat mapping, or any third-party analytics service. We do not track you across other websites.

This site sets no cookies of its own. Your browser stores two small items while you use it:

  • a _grecaptcha entry placed by Google reCAPTCHA on the contact page, described below;
  • a _cohortId value that exists only for the current browser session and is erased when you close the tab.

Neither is used for advertising, and neither is shared with anyone.

Our web host keeps standard server logs, which may include your IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the date and time. These are used for security and troubleshooting.

4. Third-party services we rely on

Google reCAPTCHA. The contact form uses reCAPTCHA v2 to block automated submissions. Google receives your IP address and interaction data with the widget, and uses it to distinguish humans from bots. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and Terms of Service (policies.google.com/terms). We use it because without it the form is a spam target, and we do not receive advertising data back from it.

Google Workspace. When you submit the form, the submission is sent to a Google Apps Script endpoint operated by SixFiftyThree. It writes one row to a private Google Sheet in our account and emails a notification to us. You receive an automatic confirmation email that your message was received.

Google Calendar appointment scheduling. If you book a call through the scheduling link, Google collects what you enter on that page under its own privacy policy.

LinkedIn. We link to our LinkedIn profile. We do not embed LinkedIn tracking on this site, so LinkedIn learns nothing about you unless you click through.

5. How we use your information

We use what you send us to:

  • reply to your inquiry;
  • assess whether the work you describe is something we can help with;
  • prepare for a call or a proposal you asked for;
  • keep a record of business inquiries;
  • meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

We do not add you to a marketing mailing list from a contact form submission.

6. We do not sell your information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose it only:

  • to the service providers named in section 4, who process it on our behalf;
  • if required by law, subpoena, or a valid government request;
  • to protect our legal rights or the security of the site;
  • to a successor if the business is sold, in which case this policy continues to apply until replaced.

7. How long we keep it

We keep contact form submissions for as long as needed to respond and for our business records, and no longer than three years after the last contact, unless you ask us to delete them sooner or we need them longer to meet a legal or accounting obligation. Server logs are kept on our host's standard schedule.

8. Security

Form submissions travel over an encrypted HTTPS connection and are stored in a Google account protected by a strong password and multi-factor authentication. Access is limited to SixFiftyThree personnel who need it, which today means the owner. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and your rights

You can ask us to:

  • tell you what information about you we hold;
  • correct it if it is wrong;
  • delete it;
  • stop contacting you.

Email info@sixfiftythree.net and we will respond within 30 days. We will not charge you or treat you differently for making a request. Depending on where you live you may have these rights by statute; we extend them to everyone who asks regardless of residency.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work.

10. Children

This site is meant for businesses and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.

11. Do Not Track

This site does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because it does not track you across other sites in the first place.

12. Visitors outside the United States

This site is operated from the United States, and information you send is stored and processed here. If you contact us from elsewhere, you understand that your information is transferred to the United States.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it last changed. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.

14. Contact

Questions, or a request under section 9, go to info@sixfiftythree.net or 224-653-8043. We are based in Lake Villa, Illinois, and a mailing address is available on request.
