Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 29, 2026
Last Updated: August 29, 2026

ARuDynamics Consulting LLC (“ARuDynamics Consulting,” “ARuDynamics,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you interact with:

• ARuDynamicsConsulting.com and our other websites;
• Software-as-a-service platforms;
• Web, mobile, and desktop applications;
• Client portals and dashboards;
• Browser extensions, integrations, APIs, and automation tools;
• Artificial intelligence or machine-learning features;
• Digital products, online courses, and consulting services; and
• Any other software, application, service, or product that links to this Privacy Policy.

Collectively, these are referred to as the “Services.”

By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Services.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies when ARuDynamics Consulting determines how and why personal information is processed.

Certain software may process information on behalf of an ARuDynamics Consulting business customer. In those circumstances, the business customer generally controls the information, and ARuDynamics Consulting processes it according to the customer’s instructions and our agreement with that customer.

If your information was submitted to an ARuDynamics application by your employer, an organization, or another ARuDynamics customer, you may need to contact that organization directly to exercise your privacy rights.

A particular product may provide an additional privacy notice explaining practices unique to that product. If a product-specific notice conflicts with this general policy, the product-specific notice will control for that product.

2. Personal Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on the Services you use and how you interact with us.

Information You Provide

We may collect:

• Name, username, company name, job title, and contact information;
• Email address, telephone number, mailing address, and billing address;
• Account credentials and authentication information;
• Profile information and communication preferences;
• Information submitted through contact, intake, support, registration, or lead-generation forms;
• Project requirements, consulting information, and customer-service communications;
• Content you upload, enter, generate, store, or transmit through the Services;
• Survey, feedback, review, and testimonial information;
• Marketing and newsletter preferences;
• Event registrations and appointment information; and
• Other information you voluntarily provide.

Transaction and Subscription Information

When you purchase a service, subscription, digital product, or other offering, we may collect transaction details, subscription status, billing history, and limited payment information.

Payment card information may be collected and processed directly by third-party payment processors. ARuDynamics Consulting may not receive or store complete payment card numbers.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use our websites or software, we may automatically collect:

• IP address;
• Browser type and version;
• Device type, operating system, and device identifiers;
• Application version;
• General geographic location derived from an IP address;
• Referring pages, links, and campaign information;
• Pages, screens, features, and content accessed;
• Dates, times, session duration, and interaction information;
• Cookie, pixel, and similar technology identifiers;
• Crash reports, diagnostic information, and performance data;
• Security logs, authentication attempts, and suspected fraudulent activity; and
• Application usage and feature-engagement information.

Information Obtained Through Integrations

If you connect a third-party account, platform, device, or service to an ARuDynamics product, we may receive information authorized by you or the applicable account administrator.

Depending on the integration, this may include account identifiers, profile information, files, tasks, calendar information, messages, contacts, advertising information, social-media content, analytics, or other authorized data.

The information available to us depends on the integration, your settings, the permissions requested, and the third party’s policies. You can generally disconnect an integration through the applicable product or third-party account settings.

Location, Camera, Microphone, Files, and Device Permissions

Some applications may request access to device capabilities such as:

• Precise or approximate location;
• Camera or photo library;
• Microphone;
• Contacts or calendar;
• Files and device storage;
• Notifications; or
• Other operating-system permissions.

We will request these permissions when needed for a disclosed feature. You can control most permissions through your device settings, although disabling a permission may prevent the associated feature from operating.

Sensitive Personal Information

Some Services could allow users or business customers to submit sensitive information. Depending on the product, this may include financial, health, employment, government-identification, account-access, or precise-location information.

We only intend to collect sensitive information when it is reasonably necessary to provide an identified service, comply with the law, or fulfill a customer’s documented instructions. Please do not submit sensitive information unless the applicable Service specifically requests or supports it.

3. Artificial Intelligence Features

Some Services may include artificial intelligence, automated workflows, content-generation tools, recommendations, chat interfaces, or machine-learning features.

When you use these features, we may process:

• Prompts and instructions;
• Uploaded documents, images, audio, video, or other content;
• Generated responses and outputs;
• Feedback regarding generated content; and
• Technical and usage information needed to operate and improve the feature.

Information may be transmitted to third-party AI or infrastructure providers when needed to produce the requested output. Their processing will be governed by our agreements with them and, where applicable, their own privacy terms.

Do not place confidential, regulated, or sensitive personal information into an AI feature unless the feature expressly supports that type of information and you are authorized to submit it.

AI-generated results may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be treated as professional medical, legal, financial, employment, or other high-impact advice. We will provide additional notice when automated processing is used to make or support a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect, where required by law.

We will not use customer content to train a generally available AI model unless our agreement, product notice, or an affirmative user choice expressly permits that use.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
• Create and manage accounts;
• Authenticate users and manage permissions;
• Process purchases, subscriptions, and transactions;
• Fulfill service requests and contractual obligations;
• Personalize content, settings, recommendations, and user experiences;
• Enable integrations, automations, and connected services;
• Respond to questions and provide technical or customer support;
• Send operational notices, security alerts, and administrative messages;
• Send newsletters, offers, and marketing communications when permitted;
• Measure marketing and advertising performance;
• Conduct analytics, research, testing, and product development;
• Troubleshoot errors and improve performance;
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity;
• Enforce our contracts, policies, and terms;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
• Comply with laws, regulations, court orders, and governmental requests; and
• Complete a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets.

We may aggregate or de-identify information so it can no longer reasonably identify an individual. We may use and disclose properly de-identified or aggregated information for lawful business purposes.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information based on one or more of the following:

• Performance of a contract with you;
• Our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights;
• Your consent;
• Compliance with a legal obligation; or
• Protection of the vital interests of an individual.

You may withdraw consent at any time when processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, session-recording technologies, and similar tools to:

• Keep users signed in;
• Remember settings and preferences;
• Operate website and application features;
• Maintain security and prevent fraud;
• Measure traffic and product performance;
• Understand how visitors use the Services; and
• Support marketing and advertising activities.

Where required, we will request consent before using nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

You may control cookies using our cookie-consent tool, if available, or your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect Service functionality.

7. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

Service Providers

Vendors that help us provide hosting, cloud storage, analytics, authentication, communications, customer support, payment processing, security, advertising, AI functionality, and other operational services.

These providers are authorized to process information only for appropriate business purposes and subject to applicable contractual obligations.

Business Customers and Account Administrators

If you use a Service through an employer or organization, its authorized administrators may be able to access and manage your account, submitted content, activity, and settings.

Third-Party Integrations

When you request an integration or direct us to transmit information to another service, we may disclose the information necessary to complete your request. The receiving third party’s privacy policy applies to its use of the information.

Professional Advisers

Lawyers, accountants, insurers, auditors, and other advisers when reasonably necessary to obtain professional services or protect our legal interests.

Business Transaction Participants

Potential purchasers, investors, lenders, successors, or advisers in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of our business.

With Your Direction or Consent

Other parties when you request, authorize, or consent to the disclosure.

8. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

ARuDynamics Consulting does not sell personal information for money.

Certain analytics or advertising activities may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, we will provide a method to opt out of those activities.

You may submit an opt-out request using [insert privacy request form or email]. Where legally required, we will also process recognized browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

9. Marketing Communications

You may unsubscribe from promotional email messages by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the message or contacting us.

Even if you opt out of marketing, we may continue sending nonpromotional communications concerning transactions, accounts, security, subscriptions, or important changes to the Services.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the Services;
• Maintain customer and business records;
• Fulfill the purposes described in this policy;
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations;
• Resolve disputes;
• Enforce agreements; and
• Detect and prevent security incidents, fraud, or abuse.

Retention periods depend on the type and sensitivity of information, the Service involved, contractual requirements, customer instructions, legal obligations, and potential risks.

When information is no longer required, we will delete, de-identify, or securely isolate it, subject to backup cycles and legal retention requirements.

11. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal information. Depending on the Service, these measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption, monitoring, backups, vendor review, and security policies.

No website, application, storage system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, using appropriate security settings, and promptly notifying us if you suspect unauthorized account access.

12. Data Breach Notification

If we discover a security incident affecting personal information, we will investigate and take reasonable steps to contain and remediate it. We will notify affected individuals, customers, regulators, or other parties when required by applicable law or contract.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information;

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Verification may require information that reasonably matches our records. An authorized agent may submit a request when permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

Some information may be exempt from a request under applicable law. If we deny a request, we will provide an explanation and appeal instructions where required.

14. California Privacy Notice

California residents may request access, correction, deletion, or portability and may opt out of qualifying sales, sharing, or targeted advertising. California residents may also have the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

15. International Users

ARuDynamics Consulting is based in the United States. If you access the Services from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live. Where required, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism for international transfers of personal information.

Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. They may also have the right to complain to their local data-protection authority.

16. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without legally required parental consent.

Certain jurisdictions provide a higher minimum age. Where those laws apply, we will comply with the applicable age and consent requirements.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us in violation of this section, please contact us so that we can investigate and delete the information when appropriate.

17. Health and Wellness Information

Some ARuDynamics products or affiliated projects may provide general health, wellness, fitness, or nutrition content. Unless expressly stated in a product-specific agreement, ARuDynamics Consulting is not a healthcare provider, and its Services are not intended to provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency services.

Do not use a general wellness application to submit protected health information unless the product expressly states that it supports such information and provides the required privacy notice or agreement.

A health-related application may be subject to additional federal or state privacy requirements. When applicable, we will provide a product-specific notice explaining those requirements.

18. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Services may contain links to websites, applications, social networks, payment processors, marketplaces, or services operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy, security, or content practices. Review the third party’s privacy policy before providing information or connecting an account.

19. App Stores and Software Platforms

If you download or purchase an application through an app store or software marketplace, the platform operator may independently collect information regarding your account, device, purchase, and application usage.

That platform’s processing is governed by its own privacy policy. ARuDynamics Consulting is not responsible for information processed independently by an app store or marketplace.

20. Business-Customer Data

Business customers may submit personal information about their employees, contractors, customers, leads, or other individuals to the Services.

The business customer is responsible for:

• Providing all required notices;
• Obtaining appropriate permissions or consent;
• Establishing a lawful basis for processing;
• Configuring the Service appropriately; and
• Responding to privacy requests when it controls the information.

ARuDynamics Consulting will process business-customer data according to the applicable agreement, documented instructions, and law.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our business, technologies, or legal obligations change.

The revised policy will be posted with a new “Last Updated” date. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice when required, which may include an in-product notice or email.

Your continued use of the Services after an updated policy becomes effective signifies acknowledgment of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
