Privacy Policy

Introduction

Corduroy Technologies ("CT," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage with our services.

At Corduroy Technologies, we believe privacy should be simple, transparent, and fair. We collect only what we need, we explain what we do with it, and we never sell your data. Our goal is to deliver meaningful insights from the data our clients already have — without overreach or unnecessary complexity.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device to support site functionality and basic analytics, including:

• Browser type and version
• IP address
• Time zone setting
• Operating system and platform
• Pages you visit and time spent on those pages

Client-Provided Data and Consulting Services

In the course of providing consulting, analytics, and data audit services, Corduroy Technologies may receive or access data supplied directly by our clients ("Client-Provided Data"). This data may include, but is not limited to, customer or lead lists, CRM exports, marketing performance data, website analytics, and other business information shared for the purpose of delivering agreed-upon services.

Corduroy Technologies acts solely as a service provider and data processor with respect to Client-Provided Data. We process this information only in accordance with our clients' instructions and only to perform the services requested.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Improve and optimize our website
• Understand how visitors use our site
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

Use of Client-Provided Data

Client-Provided Data is used exclusively to analyze, evaluate, and support a client's business objectives, such as identifying performance insights, operational opportunities, or optimization recommendations.

Corduroy Technologies does not use Client-Provided Data for advertising, marketing to third-parties, or purposes unrelated to the specific client engagement.

Sharing of Information

Access to Client-Provided Data is strictly limited to:

• Authorized Corduroy Technologies personnel directly involved in the engagement
• Necessary service providers operating under binding confidentiality obligations

No third-party is permitted to independently access, use, or process Client-Provided Data for their own purposes. Our website may use third-party services for analytics and hosting; these services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request and are limited to website data only.

Client-Provided Data is shared only with authorized Corduroy Technologies personnel and trusted service providers as necessary to deliver services, subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. We do not disclose Client-Provided Data to third-parties for their independent use.

No Sale or Secondary Use of Client Data

Corduroy Technologies does not sell, rent, or trade Client-Provided Data. We do not combine Client-Provided Data across clients, and we do not use such data to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models unless explicitly agreed to in writing by the client.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect both website data and Client-Provided Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

Data Retention

Client-Provided Data is retained only for the duration of the client engagement and for a limited period thereafter as necessary to complete deliverables, respond to follow-up questions, or meet legal or contractual obligations. Upon completion of this period, data is securely deleted or returned to the client, unless otherwise agreed.

Website Visitors vs. Client Engagement Data

This Privacy Policy distinguishes between information collected through our website and information provided by clients as part of consulting or data audit engagements. Website-related data is used to operate and improve our site, while Client-Provided Data is handled separately and subject to the limitations described above.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to access your personal data
• The right to correct inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing of your data
• The right to data portability

Our Approach to Data Responsibility

Corduroy Technologies is committed to responsible, minimal, and transparent data practices. Our services are designed to help small and mid-sized businesses gain insights from their existing data without unnecessary data collection or exposure.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
