Privacy Policy

Who we are

Schmidt Consulting Group ("SCG," "we," "us") is an agency growth consulting firm operated by KRT LLC, based in Minnesota. This policy explains how we handle information collected through www.schmidtconsulting.group.

What we collect

We do not require accounts, logins, or registration to use this website. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, by submitting a contact form or subscribing to a newsletter).

Our analytics and marketing tools may collect information about the page and visit. That can include the referral source, device and browser details, approximate location, IP address, and cookie or similar identifiers. What each provider collects and how it uses that information is described below and in the provider's privacy policy.

Analytics and tracking tools

We use the following tools to study site use and marketing performance. They also help us improve the website. Most are loaded through Google Tag Manager, while HubSpot is loaded separately.

Site analytics and marketing tracking are disabled on the software project estimator and its shared-report page. This includes session replay, HubSpot tracking, and Vercel Analytics. Information submitted through the estimator's email gate is handled as described on that form.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. The tools listed above may set cookies for site function and analytics. Other cookies may support measurement or advertising. They can distinguish between visitors, attribute results, or build advertising audiences.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most browsers also support "Do Not Track" signals and Global Privacy Control (GPC). Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to browse this site.

How we use your information

We use site data to find usability issues and see whether our content and campaigns work. It also helps us improve the website and build or measure advertising audiences. We do not sell or rent personal data. The providers listed above process data for the purposes described in this policy and under their own privacy terms.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained according to each tool's default retention settings. Google Analytics retains data for 14 months. Microsoft Clarity retains session data for 30 days. You can request deletion of any personal data we hold by contacting us.
