Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on the site and how you arrived here. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from it.
Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device, to track this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect how some parts of the site function.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or any other third-party tracking tools beyond Google Analytics.
How We Use Your Information
Information you submit through our contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry, schedule consultations and provide the cybersecurity services you request. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party.
How We Protect Your Information
As a cybersecurity firm, we take data protection seriously. Information submitted through this website is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Contact form submissions are delivered directly to our secure business email. We carry both cyber liability and general liability insurance to protect our clients and our business.
Retention of Information
We retain client and prospect information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. If you would like your information removed from our records, contact us at aaron@hardshelltech.com and we will process your request promptly.
Third Party Services
Our website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may collect standard server log data such as IP addresses and browser types as part of normal hosting operations.
