Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Privacy Policy

Carl Shawn Watkins Consulting (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us. When you submit a contact form, event inquiry, or the Leadership Identity Assessment, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, firm or organization, and any details you include in your message or responses. We do not require you to create an account or provide payment information on this site.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, schedule conversations, deliver requested resources or assessment results, and follow up about coaching, consulting, or speaking. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

How information is shared

We share information only with trusted service providers that help us operate — for example, our email provider, scheduling tool (Calendly), and any customer-relationship or form-processing service we use to receive and organize inquiries. These providers may process your data on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Data retention & security

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond and maintain our business records, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may request that we access, correct, or delete the personal information you have shared with us by emailing carl@carlshawnwatkins.com. You can also opt out of follow-up communications at any time.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for professional adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Cookie Policy

Cookies and similar technologies (including your browser's local storage) are small data files stored on your device. This website uses them sparingly:

• Necessary & preference storage — to remember your cookie choice and any accessibility settings you select (such as larger text or high contrast), so the site works the way you left it.
• Analytics (if enabled) — to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Any analytics data is used in a non-identifying way.
• Embedded tools — our scheduling tool (Calendly) may set its own cookies when you book a call. Please see that provider's policy for details.

Managing cookies

When you first visit, you can Accept or Decline non-essential cookies using the banner. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how some features work.
