Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your information
Last Updated: March 2026
We understand that privacy isn't just a legal requirement — it's personal. Many of our clients are exploring sensitive life decisions, and we treat your information with the same discretion we'd want for our own.
BlExpat ("we," "us," or "our") operates blexpat.com and provides international relocation consulting services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding your data. By using our website or services, you agree to this policy.
1. What We Collect
When | What We Collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
Payment | Name, email, message | To process payments |
Escape Hatch Roadmap | Name, email, location, age range, career stage, preferences, motivation | To create your research report |
Consultation Request | Detailed personal preferences, budget, family situation, professional needs | To prepare for your call |
Contact Form | Processed by third-party — we never store credit card numbers | To respond to your inquiry |
Automatically collected: When you visit the site, Wix's built-in analytics collects standard data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, device type). This is used in aggregate to improve the site — not to personally identify you.
2. How We Use and Share Your Information
We use your information to respond to inquiries, deliver services you've purchased, schedule consultation calls, send service-related communications, and improve our website. If you've opted in, we may also send marketing emails — you can unsubscribe at any time.
We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Period.
Limited sharing: We only share your information with service providers necessary to operate (Wix for hosting, Zoom for consultations, a payment processor for transactions), when required by law, or with your explicit consent (e.g., if you request a referral to a local attorney).
We understand that discretion is paramount. We do not discuss your use of our services with anyone — including family members, employers, or other clients — without your explicit written permission.
3. Security and Cookies
We protect your information through SSL encryption (provided by Wix), secure document sharing (Google Docs with restricted access), and limiting data access to BlExpat's operator only. Payment information is handled entirely by our third-party processor — we never see or store your card details.
No security method is 100% foolproof, but we are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.
Cookies
Our site uses essential cookies (required to function) and analytics cookies (to understand traffic patterns). We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies — we do not track you across other websites. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings or Wix's cookie banner.
4. Your Rights
You can request to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. You can also unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in any email or by contacting us directly.
If you request deletion, we will remove all personal information from our systems within 30 days, except records we're legally required to retain (e.g., financial transaction records for tax purposes).
5. General
Our website and services are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Our site contains links to third-party websites (government agencies, visa resources, real estate platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above, and material changes will be communicated via email to active clients.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, consistent with our Terms of Service.
