Marathon Consulting Inc. (“Marathon,” “we,” “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and rights of every individual whose personal data we process — whether you have requested a consultation, subscribed to research, or simply visited this website. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we process it, and how to exercise your legal rights.
This privacy policy applies to all visitors, clients, prospects, and business contacts of Marathon Consulting Inc. Marathon Consulting Inc. is the data controller responsible for your personal data under this policy.
Strategic business consulting and corporate advisory services. Specializing in mergers & acquisitions, capital strategy, sports & entertainment, intellectual property, and growth planning.
For all GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and personal-data inquiries — including access, correction, erasure, portability, and data-processing-agreement requests — write to our Privacy Lead at the contact below.

Response SLA: 30 calendar days from receipt.
Our data-protection program is built on six concrete, auditable commitments aligned with Article 5 of the GDPR. We do not treat privacy as a legal checkbox — it is a structural design decision for every form, workflow, and service we ship.
We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so — typically your explicit consent, the performance of a contract with you, or a legitimate business interest that does not override your rights. Every processing activity is documented, logged, and reviewed on a regular schedule.
We collect only what is necessary. Name, email, company, and your message — nothing more. Data collected for consultation purposes is never repurposed for unrelated marketing, sold to third parties, or combined with shadow profiles from external data brokers.
Submissions and correspondence are retained only as long as required to respond to your inquiry, satisfy legal record-keeping obligations, or defend against potential claims. All at-rest data is encrypted; in-transit data uses TLS 1.3; access logs are retained and reviewed monthly.
Consultation submissions flow through Formspree (our form processor) under a signed data-processing agreement. No other third parties receive your personal information unless you explicitly request it, or we are legally compelled by a valid court order or warrant.
Marathon Consulting operates globally. Your data may be processed in countries outside your jurisdiction — including the United States, the European Economic Area, and Singapore. Where required by applicable law, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and equivalent legislation you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request its correction or erasure, restrict processing, obtain a machine-readable copy, and withdraw consent at any time. All requests are responded to within 30 calendar days.
Our collection is intentionally minimal. We have built Marathon's infrastructure so that you can request a consultation, read every public page on this website, and contact us — without ever being subject to cross-site tracking, third-party advertising cookies, or a hidden analytics spy pixel.
Full name, email address, company/organization (voluntary), and the content of your message. Submissions are processed via Formspree under DSA and transmitted encrypted end-to-end during submission.
Anonymous web-server logs: IP address (stored truncated in production where permitted by law), user agent, timestamp, and the URL you requested. Retention: 30 days. Used exclusively for security and abuse prevention.
Necessary cookies only — session, dialog state, and explicit consent preference. No third-party advertising cookies. No Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. No device fingerprinting. Period.
Sensitive special-category data (health, biometrics, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion, trade-union membership, sexual orientation). We never request it and our intake forms reject it if detected.
To exercise any of your rights — or to ask us a specific question about this policy — email our Privacy Lead. We will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and respond substantively within 30 calendar days. No form, no account, and no fee is required.
We respect the “no” in cookie consent. Marathon Consulting does not operate a cookie wall, does not run third-party advertising, and does not share your visit data with ad networks. The only cookies written are strictly necessary for the site to function.
No account. No ticket system. No fee. Just send an email — or a registered letter — referencing the specific right or concern you wish to raise, and we will respond within the statutory timeframe applicable in your jurisdiction.
