Cipher Defense ("Cipher Defense," "we," "us," or "our") provides AI governance audits and compliance readiness consulting to enterprise, government, and MSSP organizations. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It does not govern data we process on behalf of clients under a signed engagement agreement — that data is handled under the terms of the applicable statement of work and any associated data processing agreement.
We collect information in the following ways:
We use the information above to: respond to inquiries and scope potential engagements; operate, maintain, and improve this website; send you information you've requested about our services; and meet our own legal, security, and record-keeping obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use website contact-form submissions to train any AI or machine learning model.
We share information only with: service providers who help us operate this site or process leads on our behalf (for example, a CRM or email delivery provider), each bound to use it solely to provide that service; professional advisors such as legal or accounting counsel; and authorities where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We retain contact-form submissions and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain our business records, and comply with legal obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing — including rights available under the GDPR, UK GDPR, and U.S. state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below; we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
This site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and, where you consent, analytics and lead-tracking tools (including Google Tag Manager and Apollo). We do not currently use cookies for third-party advertising. On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies; you can change that choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer, or through your browser settings.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We are based in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries with different data protection laws than your own.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
