3.3 Information We Do Not Want You to Send

The Site is a general business website. It is not designed, authorized, or secured to receive sensitive government or controlled information. Do not submit any of the following through the Site, by email to the addresses listed on the Site, or through any other unsolicited channel:

Classified national security information
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), as defined in 32 C.F.R. Part 2002
Technical data or technology controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)

Proprietary pricing, cost, or other competitively sensitive information
Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, health information, or other sensitive personal information

If you submit this type of information, we may delete it without review, and we may take other steps required by law or contract. Our receipt of unsolicited information does not create any confidentiality obligation, fiduciary duty, or client relationship. Sensitive information should be exchanged only after a written agreement is in place and through a channel we have approved for that purpose.

4. How We Use Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

Responding to you. To answer inquiries, schedule conversations, and provide information you request.
Delivering resources. To provide downloadable reports and related materials.
Business development. To follow up on your inquiry or download, and to send you information about our services, insights, and events that we believe may be relevant to you. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Operating and improving the Site. To understand how visitors use the Site, measure the performance of our content, and improve functionality.
Marketing measurement. To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where permitted, to reach Site visitors with relevant content on LinkedIn.
Security and integrity. To protect the Site, detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents, and enforce our Terms and Conditions.
Legal and compliance. To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process, and government requests, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use personal information collected through the Site to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing.

5. How We Disclose Information

We do not sell personal information.

Some state privacy laws define “sharing” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include the use of advertising cookies and tags, such as the LinkedIn Insight Tag, that allow an advertising platform to recognize visitors across websites. To the extent our use of these technologies is considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under applicable law, you can opt out as described in Sections 6.4 and 10.

We disclose personal information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers. We use vendors that process information on our behalf to host the Site, store files, communicate with you, and manage our work. These currently include Framer (website hosting, forms, and analytics), Google (Google Workspace for email and document storage), and Asana (internal task management). These providers may use personal information only as needed to provide services to us.
Analytics and advertising partners. Google (Google Analytics) and LinkedIn (LinkedIn Insight Tag) collect information directly from your browser when you visit the Site and you have permitted these technologies. LinkedIn acts as an independent party with respect to the information it collects and processes it in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Legal requirements. When we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or in response to a lawful request by a government authority.
Protection of rights. When we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Parallel, our clients, or others, or to investigate or prevent fraud, security incidents, or violations of our Terms and Conditions.
Business transfers. In connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to customary confidentiality protections.
With your direction or consent. When you ask us to share information, or otherwise consent to disclosure.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies

6.1 What These Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, and local storage. We refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

6.2 Categories of Cookies We Use

6.3 Specific Technologies We Use

Framer Analytics. Our website platform, Framer, provides built-in analytics. According to Framer, this tool does not use cookies or persistent identifiers and does not collect information that identifies individual visitors. We use it to view aggregate traffic statistics. Learn more in Framer’s Privacy Statement.

Google Analytics (Analytics category). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time on site, device and browser information, and approximate location. We use this information in aggregate to understand Site usage. We have configured Google Analytics with advertising personalization features disabled. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You may also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

LinkedIn Insight Tag (Marketing category). The LinkedIn Insight Tag collects information about visits to the Site, including the page URL, referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and timestamp. LinkedIn uses this information to provide us with aggregate reports about our Site audience and advertising performance, and to allow us to show ads on LinkedIn to people who have visited the Site. LinkedIn does not provide us with the identity of individual visitors. Learn more in LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy and LinkedIn’s Cookie Policy. LinkedIn members can control how their data is used for advertising through their LinkedIn ad settings.

We do not place the LinkedIn Insight Tag on pages that contain our contact or download forms, and we do not use these technologies to capture the contents of form fields you complete.

6.4 How to Control Cookies

Your Privacy Choices. Click Your Privacy Choices in the footer of any page to accept, reject, or customize Analytics and Marketing cookies. You can change your choices at any time.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of Marketing cookies and of any “sharing” or “targeted advertising” for that browser. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.
Browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect how the Site functions.
Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no common industry standard for interpreting DNT signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. We do honor GPC signals as described above.

Your cookie choices are stored in your browser. If you clear your cookies or use a different browser or device, you may need to set your preferences again.

7. Email Communications

If you submit a form or otherwise provide your email address, we may send you follow-up communications and information about our services, insights, and events. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You may also opt out by emailing privacy@paralleldefense.com. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still send you non-promotional messages, such as responses to your requests.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Our general retention periods are:

Information

Retention Period

Contact form submissions and related correspondence

3 years after our last communication with you

Report and resource download records

2 years after your last interaction with us

Marketing email preferences

Until you unsubscribe; unsubscribe records are kept so we can honor your request

Google Analytics data

14 months

LinkedIn Insight Tag data

Retained by LinkedIn under its own policies

Information related to a client engagement

As provided in the applicable agreement and as required by law or contract

We may retain information longer when necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, audit, or contractual obligations; to resolve disputes; to enforce our agreements; or when subject to a legal hold. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These safeguards are appropriate to the nature of the information collected through a general business website.

No website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system is completely secure. Email and web forms are not encrypted end to end. We cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. If we learn of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify you and others as required by applicable law.

Nothing on the Site states or implies that Parallel holds any security certification, accreditation, or authorization for the Site, or that the Site is approved to process classified information, CUI, or export-controlled data.

Authorized agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law. We may require proof of the agent’s authority and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
Timing. We will respond within the time required by applicable law, generally within 45 days. Where permitted, we may extend this period once by notifying you.
