Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy applies to

Lesley Leads LLC, based in Mankato, Minnesota, operates the Lesley Leads website and Everest Elevates. Everest Elevates is directly operated by Lesley Leads LLC.

Growingdome in the Clouds Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Foundation pages are hosted and managed within this website in support of the Foundation's mission and related collaboration. Information submitted specifically in connection with the Foundation is intended for Foundation-related purposes and may be routed to the appropriate Foundation representative.

TurtleBack GeoDome Solutions has its own privacy policy. For TurtleBack-specific privacy information, please see the TurtleBack Privacy Policy.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information you choose to provide, including:

• Name, email address, phone number, and organization.
• Messages, questions, project details, event details, partnership interests, or other information submitted through an inquiry form.
• Your preferred method of contact and information about how you heard about us.
• Foundation-related support, partnership, media, or project inquiries.

We may also collect limited technical and usage information through website logs, cookies, and analytics tools, such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring source, approximate geographic information, IP-derived information, and interaction data.

3. How information is used

Information may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries and route them to the appropriate person or organization.
• Communicate about speaking, consulting, mentoring, partnerships, projects, Foundation support, or general questions.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
• Understand website traffic and visitor behavior.
• Maintain reasonable business and administrative records.
• Comply with legal obligations or protect legitimate rights and interests.

4. Inquiry handling and future CRM use

At launch, website inquiries are expected to be routed and managed primarily through email. Lesley Leads may later adopt a customer relationship management system or other internal business tools to organize inquiries and follow-up. If the way personal information is handled materially changes, this policy will be updated as appropriate.

We do not currently operate a general email newsletter or marketing mailing list. If an optional marketing or update subscription is added in the future, visitors will be given appropriate notice and choices at that time.

5. Google Analytics and cookies

This website uses, or is expected to use, Google Analytics to better understand website traffic and usage. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about visits and interactions. Google may process that information under its own privacy terms and policies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect some website functionality or the accuracy of analytics data.

6. Sharing of information

Personal information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

• People assisting Lesley Leads LLC with website operations, communications, or administration.
• The Growingdome in the Clouds Foundation when an inquiry specifically concerns the Foundation.
• Service providers that support website hosting, analytics, communications, or future business systems.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

Lesley Leads LLC does not sell personal information to advertisers.

7. Foundation donations and third-party services

Foundation donations are generally directed to GoFundMe or another third-party donation platform rather than processed directly on this website. Information you provide to GoFundMe or another third-party service is governed by that service's own privacy policy and terms. Foundation donation activity is handled in connection with the Growingdome in the Clouds Foundation, Inc.

8. Third-party links

The website may link to third-party websites and services, including GoFundMe, Growing Spaces, research institutions, social media platforms, and other organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

9. Data retention and security

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate administrative needs, recordkeeping, or legal obligations. Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet transmission, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your choices and requests

You may contact us to ask about personal information you have submitted, request a correction, or request deletion where appropriate. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or legitimate recordkeeping reasons.

11. Children's privacy

This website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website, analytics, inquiry management, or other practices evolve. The current version and last-updated date will be posted on this page.

13. Contact

Privacy questions or requests may be sent to info@lesleyleads.com. For Foundation-specific matters, the request will be directed to the appropriate Foundation representative.
