SL Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Policy covers information we collect through SinewsLink websites, landing pages, and contact forms (the "Site"). It does not replace the privacy, confidentiality, or data protection terms in any separate written agreement you may have with SinewsLink for paid or pilot services.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you fill out a form, request a briefing, or contact us, we may collect your name, work email, organization, role, sector of interest, project description, and any other details you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect technical information when you visit the Site, such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referrer URLs, and timestamps. We may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic analytics and site reliability.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your inquiries and evaluate potential engagements;
• Operate, secure, and improve the Site and our internal systems;
• Understand which sectors and use cases (e.g., local economy, defense, energy) are most relevant to visitors; and
• Send you relevant updates or invitations where permitted by applicable law and your communication preferences.

4. Legal Bases (where applicable)

Where data protection laws require a legal basis (for example, in the EU, UK, or similar jurisdictions), we rely on one or more of the following: our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site, performing a contract or taking steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and, where required, your consent.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that host our infrastructure, provide analytics, or help us communicate with you; with SinewsLink affiliates for internal business purposes; or where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of SinewsLink, our customers, or others.

6. International Transfers

SinewsLink may process information in countries other than the one you reside in. Where required, we take steps designed to ensure that transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including evaluating potential engagements, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Retention periods may vary based on context and requirements.

8. Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, update, or delete certain personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise these rights, or update communication preferences, by contacting us at privacy@sinewslink.com.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information we process through the Site. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we design our infrastructure and processes with operational rigor in mind.

10. Children

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

11. Changes & Contact

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will adjust the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after an update becomes effective indicates that you have read and understood the updated Policy.

If you have questions about this Policy or our data practices, you can reach us at privacy@sinewslink.com.
