These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy explain the conditions that apply when you visit, browse, access, interact with, or otherwise use HelloBritney.info (the "Site") and describe how information collected through the Site may be handled.

Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the Site, you acknowledge that your use of the Site is subject to these Terms of Use and that information collected through the Site will be handled as described in this Privacy Policy.

When you take an affirmative action through the Site, including submitting a contact form, requesting information, contacting HB+, downloading materials where applicable, or using an interactive feature, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and acknowledge the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please discontinue use of the Site and do not submit information through its forms or interactive features.

Use of the Site or submission of an inquiry does not create a consulting, advisory, confidential, fiduciary, attorney-client, or other professional relationship with HB+.

PART I: TERMS OF USE

1. About HB+

HB+ Advisory, Management & Research Services provides strategic advisory, research, management, operational, organizational, public affairs, economic development, technology governance, compliance, procurement, and related consulting services.

HelloBritney.info also serves as a platform for published writing, original research, professional commentary, educational materials, and information about HB+ services and experience.

Information describing HB+, Britney Porter, past experience, projects, research, methodologies, capabilities, or potential services is provided for general informational and business development purposes. It does not, by itself, constitute an offer, guarantee, representation of future results, or contractual commitment.

2. No Professional Relationship Created Through This Site

Visiting this Site, reviewing or downloading materials, submitting a contact form, sending an email, requesting information, or otherwise communicating with HB+ through the Site does not create a consulting, advisory, fiduciary, agency, employment, partnership, attorney-client, or other professional relationship.

A professional engagement with HB+ is established only through a separate written agreement accepted by HB+ and the client, such as an engagement letter, proposal, Master Services Agreement, Statement of Work, or other written contract.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed client agreement, the signed client agreement will control with respect to that engagement.

3. Not a Law Firm or Legal Representation

HB+ Advisory, Management & Research Services is not a law firm. Britney Porter is not holding herself out through this Site as an attorney or as providing legal representation.

HB+ may provide strategic analysis, research, compliance support, governance frameworks, regulatory research, policy analysis, implementation support, technology governance strategy, procurement support, operational frameworks, and coordination with a client's professional advisers.

These services are not a substitute for individualized legal advice from a licensed attorney.

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, creates an attorney-client relationship, or should be relied upon as a legal opinion concerning a specific matter.

When a matter requires legal advice, legal representation, or another regulated professional service, users and clients should consult an appropriately licensed professional.

HB+ may work alongside or coordinate with a client's attorneys, accountants, financial professionals, technology professionals, or other advisers when appropriate.

4. Informational and Educational Content

Research, articles, commentary, reports, presentations, frameworks, checklists, publications, interviews, and other content available through or linked from the website are provided for general informational, research, educational, and discussion purposes.

Content may address business, economics, public policy, emerging technology, artificial intelligence, governance, regulation, compliance, operations, finance, political affairs, economic development, and other evolving subjects.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate professional agreement, Site content should not be interpreted as individualized:

legal advice;
tax or accounting advice;
investment or financial advice;
lobbying or campaign law advice;
cybersecurity advice;
employment advice; or
other regulated professional advice.

Laws, regulations, technology, economic conditions, industry practices, and other circumstances may change after material is published. HB+ does not guarantee that every article, research paper, resource, or archived page reflects the most current information available.

5. No Guarantee of Results

HB+ does not guarantee specific business, financial, political, operational, regulatory, technology, procurement, economic development, funding, investment, employment, contracting, or other outcomes.

References to past projects, initiative size, economic impact, audiences reached, project values, organizational outcomes, media visibility, or other professional experience describe historical experience or the broader scale of projects in which Britney Porter has participated.

These references should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees that any future engagement will produce the same or similar results.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, figures relating to projects or initiatives may represent the overall size, value, scope, or reach of an initiative. They should not be interpreted as amounts personally controlled, generated, received, or owned by HB+ or Britney Porter.

6. Project and Client Information

The Site may describe selected projects, professional engagements, partnerships, institutions, public initiatives, media work, research, or other professional experience.

Descriptions may be abbreviated for readability, confidentiality, contractual obligations, or professional considerations.

Mention of an organization, government entity, institution, company, publication, university, campaign, project, client, partner, or other third party does not necessarily indicate an ongoing relationship, endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation unless specifically stated.

Third-party names, trademarks, and logos remain the property of their respective owners.

7. Contact Forms and Unsolicited Information

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, proprietary, classified, highly sensitive, or legally protected information through the Site's general contact form unless HB+ has specifically requested it through an appropriate secure process.

Submitting information through a website inquiry does not create a confidential or professional relationship.

If HB+ later enters into a written professional engagement with you, confidentiality obligations applicable to that engagement will be governed by the relevant written agreement.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, original content on this website, including text, research summaries, frameworks, graphics, branding, reports, presentations, methodologies, page designs, downloadable materials, and other original materials, is owned by Britney Porter and/or HB+ and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and use publicly available website materials for personal, internal, noncommercial, and informational purposes.

Without prior written permission, you may not:

use protected materials to create a competing commercial product or service where prohibited by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights independently provided under applicable law, including lawful fair use.

9. Research and Publications

Research papers, articles, white papers, academic work, commentary, and publications linked through HelloBritney.info may also be hosted by third-party publishers, academic repositories, news organizations, research platforms, or other services.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to external websites, publications, research repositories, social networks, government resources, software providers, media outlets, or other third-party services.

These links are provided for convenience or reference.

HB+ does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, privacy practices, content, or terms.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the linked organization, its products, its services, or its positions.

12. Site Availability and Accuracy

HB+ makes reasonable efforts to maintain useful and accurate information but does not warrant that the Site will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, complete, or current.

Site content may be updated, corrected, removed, or changed without notice.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

HB+ does not warrant that use of the Site will produce any particular outcome or that all information will be free from errors, omissions, interruptions, or third-party interference.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, HB+, Britney Porter, and persons acting on their behalf will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from access to, reliance upon, or inability to use this Site or its general informational content.

Users remain responsible for evaluating information before making business, legal, financial, operational, technology, policy, or other decisions.

This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law must apply.

Subject to rights that cannot legally be waived, disputes concerning use of this Site will be handled by an appropriate court having jurisdiction in California.

Nothing in these Terms eliminates any consumer or statutory right that cannot lawfully be waived.

16. Changes to These Terms

HB+ may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes to the Site, services, business operations, technology, or applicable requirements.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate when material revisions were most recently made.

Continued use of the Site after revised Terms become effective constitutes use of the Site subject to the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

PART II: PRIVACY POLICY

17. Approach to Privacy

HB+ respects the privacy of visitors, prospective clients, professional contacts, research readers, and others who interact with HelloBritney.info.

This Privacy Policy describes the categories of information we may collect through the Site, why we use that information, when information may be disclosed, and the choices available to users.

This policy applies to information collected through HelloBritney.info. Information handled under a separate client agreement or another specifically identified privacy notice may be governed by that agreement or notice.

18. Information That May Be Collected

Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide Directly

This may include:

your name;
email address;
telephone number, if voluntarily provided;
organization or professional affiliation;
subject of your inquiry;
information included in a message or contact form;
meeting or scheduling information;
communications you send to HB+; and
other information you voluntarily choose to provide.

Please avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information through the general contact form.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, the Site and its service providers may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit, such as:

Internet Protocol address;
browser type;
device type;
operating system;
approximate geographic information derived from an IP address;
referring pages;
pages viewed;
dates and times of visits;
interaction and performance information; and
cookie or similar technology identifiers.

This information may be collected through the Site's hosting platform, security services, analytics functions, cookies, or similar technologies.

19. How Information Is Collected

Information may be collected:

directly from you;
through website forms and communications;
automatically through your browser or device;
through cookies and similar technologies;
from website hosting and technology providers;
from scheduling or communication tools you choose to use; and
from publicly available sources when reasonably relevant to a legitimate business inquiry.

20. How Information Is Used

HB+ may use information for legitimate business purposes, including to:

respond to inquiries;
evaluate potential professional engagements;
schedule meetings;
communicate with prospective or existing clients;
operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
understand general Site usage;
prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents;
maintain business and administrative records;
protect HB+'s rights and property;
comply with legal or regulatory obligations;
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
send professional updates or marketing communications where permitted by law.

HB+ does not use information collected through the Site to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individual website visitors.

21. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

HelloBritney.info is operated using third-party website infrastructure, including Wix.

The Site or its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

website operation;
security;
fraud prevention;
remembering settings;
measuring Site performance;
understanding traffic and usage; and
providing embedded third-party functionality.

Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function. Others may support analytics or optional functionality. Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies. Doing so may affect certain Site functions. Where legally required, HB+ will provide additional consent or opt-out mechanisms for nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

22. Online Tracking and Browser Privacy Signals

Some web browsers provide "Do Not Track" or similar privacy settings. Because traditional Do Not Track signals have not historically operated under one universally accepted technical standard, the Site may not respond to every traditional Do Not Track browser setting.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally recognized browser-based privacy preference or opt-out mechanism, HB+ will endeavor to honor that mechanism as required.

Third-party providers operating technology through the Site may collect information concerning your interaction with the Site in accordance with their own technologies and privacy practices.

23. When Information May Be Disclosed

HB+ may disclose information to service providers that perform functions on our behalf when reasonably necessary, including providers of:

website hosting and infrastructure;
information technology and security;
website analytics;
email and communication services;
scheduling services;
cloud storage;
professional advisory services;
accounting or administrative services; and
other services supporting legitimate business operations.

These providers may receive information only as reasonably necessary to provide their services or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and their governing agreements.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary:

to comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or governmental request;
to investigate fraud, misuse, or security threats;
to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of HB+, Site users, or others;
in connection with a business reorganization or transfer permitted by law; or
with your direction or consent.

24. Sale of Personal Information

HB+ does not sell mailing lists or personal information collected through the Site for monetary consideration.

HB+ also does not knowingly provide personal information collected through its contact form to unrelated third parties for those parties to independently market their products or services to you.

If HB+'s practices materially change, this Privacy Policy and any legally required privacy controls will be updated accordingly.

25. Email Communications

If you communicate with HB+, request information, establish a professional relationship, or subscribe to future updates, HB+ may communicate with you by email.

Commercial marketing emails sent by HB+ will provide a method for recipients to opt out where required by applicable law.

Transactional, administrative, security, or relationship communications may still be sent when reasonably necessary.

26. Data Retention

HB+ retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

These purposes may include business administration, responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it is maintained.

Information no longer reasonably required will be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements and reasonable business practices.

27. Information Security

HB+ uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being handled.

However, no website, email transmission, cloud service, network, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, users should not submit highly sensitive or confidential information through an ordinary website contact form.

28. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact HB+ to request that we:

provide information about personal information you previously submitted directly to us;
correct inaccurate contact information;
delete information you previously submitted, where appropriate; or
stop sending marketing communications.

Some information may need to be retained when reasonably necessary for legal compliance, recordkeeping, security, dispute resolution, or another lawful purpose.

A request may be subject to reasonable identity verification before information is disclosed, corrected, or deleted.

29. California Privacy Information

California residents may have privacy rights under various California laws depending on the nature of the information collected and whether a particular law applies to HB+.

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"), applies only when statutory applicability requirements are satisfied.

If HB+ becomes subject to the CCPA or another law providing additional applicable rights, HB+ will provide and honor the notices, request procedures, opt-out mechanisms, and other rights required by applicable law.

Depending on applicable law and circumstances, California residents may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, disclosure, or certain uses or disclosures of their personal information.

HB+ will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

30. California Direct Marketing Disclosure

HB+ does not knowingly disclose personal information obtained through this Site to unrelated third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes.

California residents with questions regarding this practice may contact HB+ using the information below.

31. Children's Privacy

HelloBritney.info is intended for business, professional, research, policy, and general adult audiences. It is not directed to children under 13.

HB+ does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that information from a child under 13 was submitted through the Site without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

32. Third-Party Websites

This Privacy Policy does not govern websites or services operated by third parties.

If you follow a link from HelloBritney.info to another website, that organization's privacy practices and terms will apply.

Users are encouraged to review the privacy notices of third-party services they choose to use.

33. International Visitors

HB+ operates from California in the United States.

If you access the Site from another jurisdiction, information transmitted to HB+ may be processed in the United States.
