1) Overview

This website is a mostly informational, static site. We use limited third‑party services (like analytics and security/performance tools) to understand site usage and keep the site reliable. You are not required to submit personal information to use the site. If you choose to submit a form, we’ll receive only what you provide.

2) What We Collect

a) Automatically Collected (when you visit)

  • Usage data: pages viewed, referral source, approximate location, device/browser type, timestamps.
  • Internet identifiers: IP address (which may be truncated or anonymized by some providers), cookie IDs or similar identifiers.
  • Security/performance data: requests and traffic patterns used to detect bots, abuse, or outages.

These are primarily collected by our service providers (e.g., Google Analytics for statistics and Cloudflare for security/performance).

b) Information You Provide (optional)

  • If you submit our form (powered by a third party): your name, email, and any message or files you choose to send. You are not required to fill out the form to use the site.

3) How We Use Information

  • Site analytics: to understand aggregate visitation and improve content.
  • Security and reliability: to detect/prevent abuse, manage traffic, and maintain performance.
  • Responding to inquiries: if you submit a form, we use the info to respond to you.

We do not sell your personal information.

4) Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our providers may use cookies, local storage, or similar tech for:

  • Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Security and performance (e.g., Cloudflare)

You can control cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

5) Third‑Party Providers

We rely on reputable third parties for essential services:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics (visitor stats/traffic insights)
  • Security & Performance/CDN: Cloudflare
  • Forms: Cognito Forms

These providers may process data as independent controllers or processors under their own privacy policies. They may store data in the U.S. or other countries. We encourage you to review their privacy notices for details on their practices, retention, and opt‑out options.

While we operate in the U.S., visitors may come from other regions:

  • If you are outside the United States of America: our site is not intended for visitors outside the United States of America. Our processing may rely on legitimate interests (site analytics, security) and/or your consent where required (e.g., certain cookies).
  • If you are in California: we do not “sell” personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA. We also do not use interest‑based ads on this site.

For questions about exercising privacy rights available in your jurisdiction (access, delete, opt‑out, etc.), contact us at info@accelerated-it.com.

7) Data Retention

  • Analytics & logs: kept for limited periods necessary for trend analysis and site health, then aggregated or deleted per provider settings.
  • Form submissions: retained as long as needed to address your inquiry and for routine recordkeeping, then deleted or archived securely.

8) Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and reputable providers (e.g., Cloudflare) to help protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9) Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

10) Do Not Track

Browsers may send “Do Not Track” signals. Our site does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage cookies via your browser and, where supported, use opt‑out tools offered by analytics providers.

11) Your Choices

  • Opt‑out of analytics cookies: Adjust your browser settings or use Google’s opt‑out tools where available.
  • Contact us: to access, correct, or delete information you provided via the form, email info@accelerated-it.com.
