How We Share Your Information

- Legal authorities, when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights
Cookies & Tracking
We keep cookie usage on this site intentionally minimal. Here's exactly what we use and why:
- Plausible Analytics — we use Plausible, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not set cookies, does not track users across sites, and does not collect personal data. Plausible measures aggregate site traffic only.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — on pages with forms (contact, candidate intake, benchmark request), we use Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam and bots. Turnstile may set short-lived cookies that are strictly necessary for security and bot protection. These cookies do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes.
- Calendly — if you book a discovery call, our booking page embeds the Calendly scheduling widget. Calendly may set its own cookies to manage the scheduling session. These cookies are governed by Calendly's privacy policy.
- Cookie notice preference — if you dismiss our cookie notice banner, we store that preference in your browser's localStorage so the banner does not reappear. This is not a cookie and does not track you.
You can control cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect form spam protection or scheduling functionality but will not prevent you from browsing the site.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain our business records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
