PRIVACY NOTICE
Effective date: November 8, 2026
Athens Place Consulting LLC (“Athens Place,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This notice explains how we collect, use, and share personal information through athens-place.com, the Trusted Network, and related communications.
1. What this notice covers
This notice covers our public website, membership requests, network accounts, profiles, recommendations, opportunities, messages, documents, and consulting inquiries.
Consulting engagements may include additional confidentiality and data-handling terms in a separate agreement. APC Pictures maintains its own website and applicable privacy notice. Following a link to APC Pictures does not itself enroll you in that service.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we collect information you provide, including:
- Your name, email address, contact details, and account preferences.
- Professional information such as experience, skills, interests, availability, LinkedIn profile URL, résumé, and other submitted documents.
- Opportunity descriptions, requirements, organization details, and your relationship to the hiring party.
- Invitations, recommendations, relationship descriptions, and acceptance records.
- Messages, inquiries, feedback, and support requests.
- Visibility choices, communication preferences, and participation records.
We may receive your name, email address, and relationship information from someone who invites or recommends you.
Technical information may also be collected when you use the site, including IP address, browser and device information, pages accessed, sign-in activity, and service logs.
Provide only information relevant to your use of the service. Do not upload Social Security numbers, account credentials, medical records, or confidential employer or client information unless we have specifically arranged an appropriate way to receive it.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Review membership requests and administer accounts.
- Provide profiles, opportunities, recommendations, introductions, and messaging.
- Suggest potentially relevant opportunities and professional connections.
- Apply visibility choices and communication preferences.
- Respond to inquiries and discuss consulting services.
- Maintain and improve the service, troubleshoot problems, and provide support.
- Prevent misuse, investigate reports, and protect accounts and members.
- Meet legal obligations and resolve disputes.
Matching suggestions and recommendations support members’ decisions. They do not guarantee qualifications, suitability, employment, or engagement.
4. Membership requests and anonymous summaries
When you request membership, authorized administrators may review the information you submit, including optional professional background and documents.
With your agreement, an anonymous summary may be shown to members as part of the membership review and recommendation process. Naming someone who knows you does not establish that person’s endorsement.
An anonymous summary may contain professional details that allow someone familiar with you to recognize you. Removing your name does not guarantee that recognition is impossible.
5. Profiles, recommendations, and disclosure choices
Your identity, contact information, professional details, and documents may have different visibility controls. Review the available settings before sharing.
Your inviter or recommender knows who you are. Keeping your identity private from other members does not conceal it from that person or authorized administrators.
Invitations and recommendations identify the sender to the intended recipient and may include an explanation of the relationship.
Changing a visibility setting controls future display through the service. It cannot retract information someone has already seen, copied, downloaded, or received.
6. Administrative access
Authorized administrators may access information as reasonably needed to review membership, provide support, maintain the service, investigate misuse, or meet legal obligations.
Member messages and uploaded documents should not be treated as inaccessible to Athens Place or the service providers supporting those features. We do not describe member messaging as end-to-end encrypted or confidential from the service operator.
7. When we share information
We share information as necessary to provide and administer the services, including:
- With members or intended recipients according to the feature you use and your applicable visibility choices.
- With service providers supporting hosting, authentication, storage, communications, security, document processing, and other service functions.
- With professional advisers or authorities when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights, or investigate misuse.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable law.
We may also share information at your direction or with your consent.
These disclosures do not grant other members unrestricted permission to redistribute private information.
8. AI-assisted features
Where available, AI-assisted features may extract résumé information, help draft summaries, organize opportunity details, or suggest potential matches.
Information you submit to such a feature may be processed by the service providers supporting it. Processing may include text from résumés, profiles, opportunity descriptions, or other material relevant to the requested function.
Review generated information before saving, sharing, or relying on it. AI output may be incomplete or inaccurate.
Do not submit confidential or sensitive information to an AI-assisted feature unless you are authorized to do so. Contact us before using these features for information subject to special confidentiality requirements.
9. Cookies and technical records
The site may use cookies, browser storage, and similar technologies to support sign-in, security, preferences, and service operation.
Your browser may allow you to restrict cookies or clear stored information. Doing so may affect sign-in or other functions.
Technical records may be used to diagnose problems, understand service usage, detect abuse, and maintain security. Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a particular technology or use, we will provide it.
10. Communications
We may send invitations, account notices, security messages, support responses, and updates related to your participation.
Optional updates and marketing communications are subject to the preferences or unsubscribe options provided. Opting out of optional communications does not necessarily stop essential account or security notices.
11. Retention and deletion
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice.
Retention depends on the type of information, account status, ongoing service needs, security concerns, legal obligations, and the need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Closing an opportunity or pausing participation does not automatically delete messages, recommendations, or account history.
You may request account closure or deletion by contacting us. We may retain information where necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or recordkeeping. Backup copies may remain until removed through the applicable backup lifecycle.
Information previously received by other members may remain in their possession.
12. Your choices and privacy requests
You may use available settings to update your information, manage visibility, change communication preferences, and adjust participation.
Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict certain uses of personal information.
Send requests to david.snyder@athens-place.com. We may verify your identity and authority before responding. We will address requests within applicable legal requirements and explain any relevant limitations.
13. Security and processing locations
We use safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure.
We operate in the United States. Our service providers may process information in other locations. Applicable privacy laws and protections may differ between locations, and we will meet any legal requirements that apply to such processing.
14. Age eligibility
The Trusted Network is intended for adults age 18 and older.
If you believe a person under 18 has submitted information to the network, contact us so we can review and address it.
15. Other websites
Links to APC Pictures, LinkedIn, and other websites lead to services with their own practices and terms. Review their privacy information before providing personal information.
This notice does not govern how another member independently handles information you choose to share outside our services.
16. Changes and contact
We may update this notice as our services or practices change. We will revise the effective date and provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by applicable law.
