Privacy Policy

Who we are

This policy explains how Applied Cyber Strategy Group ("ACSG", "we", "us") handles personal information in connection with this website. ACSG is a cybersecurity consulting firm serving government agencies, the Defense Industrial Base, and financial services organizations.

Information we collect

Information you give us. This website does not currently include contact forms, online payment, online scheduling, resource downloads, or newsletter sign up. If you call us, write to us, or arrange a consultation, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, organization, business email, phone number, and the nature of your inquiry.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider receives technical information each time a page is requested, such as IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the time of the request. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking tools on this site.

Your cookie choice. We store your cookie preference in your browser so we can respect it on later visits. See our Cookie Policy.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and arrange and deliver consultations and services you request
• To operate, secure, and maintain this website
• To keep business records and meet legal obligations

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service providers

We rely on a limited number of providers to run this website:

• Website hosting. Our site is built and hosted on Lovable, which uses cloud infrastructure that processes the technical request information described above.
• Web fonts. Our lettering is loaded from Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser contacts Google servers, which receive your IP address and browser details. Google Fonts does not set cookies for this purpose.

If we add services such as online payment, scheduling, or email delivery, we will update this policy before they go live.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use only essential browser storage. Optional analytics and marketing technologies are off by default and are not currently used. You can review or change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Details are in our Cookie Policy.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, including responding to you, delivering services, maintaining business and tax records, and meeting legal or contractual obligations. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or make it unidentifiable. Your cookie choice is stored in your browser for up to 12 months, or until you clear it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information we handle, and this site is served over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send controlled unclassified information, passwords, or other sensitive material through general channels.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to object to certain uses. We will respond to requests as required by the laws that apply to us. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will not treat you differently for making one.

To make a request, call us at 202-741-5700 or write to us at the address above with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. If we decline your request, you may ask us to reconsider by contacting us the same way.

Our site honors the Global Privacy Control browser signal: when it is detected, optional cookie categories remain off.

Marketing communications

We do not currently send newsletters or marketing email from this website. If we offer them in the future, sign up will be separate and optional, and every message will include a way to unsubscribe.

Where information is processed

ACSG is based in the United States. Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. By using this site from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for businesses and government organizations. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices change. We will post the updated version on this page with a new "last updated" date, and we will ask for your cookie choice again if changes affect it.
