In the dynamic world of technology and business, certain situations necessitate the sharing of your Personal Data, always handled with the utmost respect and care at Birch Consulting.

In the realm of Birch Consulting, we often provide pathways to other digital territories through links to external websites. These sites, not operated by us, offer a wealth of information and resources that might be beneficial to you. However, it’s important to remember that once you step through these digital gateways and land on a third-party site, you’re under their sky. We encourage you to be an informed digital explorer. Take a moment to review the Privacy Policies of these external sites to understand how they handle your personal data. While we aim to link you to reputable and relevant sites, please be aware that we don’t wield control over their content, privacy policies, or practices. This approach reflects our commitment to openness and collaboration in the digital world, while also respecting the autonomy of other digital entities. As you navigate these external sites, we trust you to use the same discernment and care that you’ve come to expect from Birch Consulting.

In the dynamic world, change is a constant, especially when it comes to enhancing our practices and policies.

We’ll post the updated policy on this page and notify you through email or a noticeable announcement on our Service. This way, you’re always informed about how we protect and use your personal data. We recommend reviewing our Privacy Policy regularly to stay updated on any changes.
