This policy explains what personal information Ariad Partners collects on this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it in plain language on purpose.
What information we collect
We collect information you choose to give us. That includes your name, email address, phone number, company, and website when you:
- Fill out a form, such as a contact form or an audit request
- Subscribe to our newsletter or download a resource
- Schedule a meeting with us
- Comment on our blog
We also collect standard technical data automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and how you found us. This comes from cookies and analytics tools described below.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Respond to your inquiries and requests
- Deliver resources you asked for, such as audits and reports
- Send emails about our services and content, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
- Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
We do not sell your personal information. We do not trade it or transfer it to outside parties for their own marketing.
How we protect your information
Our site runs over an encrypted connection (SSL). Personal information sits behind secured networks. Only a limited number of people can access it, and they are required to keep it confidential. We run regular malware scanning. We do not ask for or store credit card numbers on this site.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use them to:
- Understand site traffic and how visitors interact with pages
- Remember your preferences on return visits
- Support the marketing and analytics tools listed below
You can manage cookies through our cookie consent banner or through your browser settings. Your browser’s help menu explains how. If you turn cookies off, some site features may not work properly.
Analytics and marketing tools
We use trusted third-party tools that may set cookies or collect technical data on our behalf:
- Google Analytics for site traffic and usage reporting
- HubSpot for forms, email, chat, and marketing automation
- Disqus for blog comments, if you choose to comment
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
[VERIFY: the old policy referenced Google AdSense and DoubleClick advertising cookies. I found no ad code on the site, so I removed those claims. If you run any remarketing or paid ad pixels (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn), list them here.]
Third-party links
Our site links to other websites, such as tools and resources we reference. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other sites. Check their policies directly.
Do Not Track signals
[VERIFY: pick the statement that is true and delete the other.]
Option A: We honor Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals and do not set tracking cookies when a DNT signal is present.
Option B: Our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, because no common standard for interpreting them exists. You can control tracking through our cookie banner and your browser settings.
California privacy rights
Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we post this policy conspicuously, and the link to it contains the word “Privacy.” In addition:
- You can visit our site anonymously
- We will post any changes to this policy on this page
- You can change your personal information by emailing us
[VERIFY: if you serve California residents at scale, counsel may recommend a CCPA/CPRA section covering the right to know, delete, and opt out. The old policy did not have one.]
Children’s privacy
Our services are for businesses. We do not market to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data breaches
If a data breach occurs affecting your personal information, we will notify you by email within 7 business days.
Changes to this policy
When we update this policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
