Privacy Policy
SeKure Warden LLC (“SeKure Warden,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a veteran-owned cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance consulting firm based in San Diego, California. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit www.sekurewarden.com (the “Site”) or interact with our consulting services.
By using the Site or contacting us, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
We collect information you voluntarily submit, including but not limited to:
- Contact details: name, business or organization name, email address, phone number.
- Inquiry content: the message body and service interest you choose to share when requesting a consultation. (The free Cybersecurity Gap Assessment is covered separately in Section 1.3.)
- Engagement information: if you become a client, additional information necessary to deliver consulting services as outlined in a separate engagement agreement.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain technical information may be collected automatically:
- Browser type and version, operating system, device type.
- Approximate geographic region (derived from IP address, not precise location).
- Pages viewed, referring URL, and aggregate session metadata.
We do not currently run third-party advertising trackers or invasive analytics. Our hosting provider (Netlify) may log standard request data for security and operational purposes.
1.3 Cybersecurity Assessment Data
If you complete the free Cybersecurity Gap Assessment at www.sekurewarden.com/assessment, we collect:
- Identifying details you enter: business name, contact name, email, phone (optional), and approximate employee count.
- Business type you select (e.g., restaurant, dental office, contractor).
- Self-reported answers to cybersecurity questions covering training, passwords, MFA, WiFi, devices, backups, email security, privacy practices, POS/payment exposure, and incident readiness.
- Free-text notes you choose to add.
- A consent flag indicating whether you have agreed that SeKure Warden may contact you about your results.
- Derived data we compute on your device from your answers: per-domain green/yellow/red color ratings, an overall risk rating, your top "red" findings, and recommended fix descriptions. This computed report is included with your submission.
What the assessment never asks for, and you should never submit: passwords, full account credentials, Social Security numbers, payment-card numbers, patient records, or any other sensitive confidential data. The assessment is an awareness and gap-identification tool only. If you submit such data anyway, we will delete it on receipt.
We use assessment submissions to respond with recommendations, prepare a follow-up conversation if you requested one, and improve the assessment tool in aggregate. Submissions are stored by our form-delivery vendor (Formspree) and in our business email. We treat assessment responses as confidential and apply the same safeguards described in Section 5.
1.4 AI Assistant Interactions
The Site offers an optional AI Assistant chat widget. When you send a message:
- Your message and recent conversation context are forwarded to a Cloudflare Worker we operate, which relays the request to OpenAI’s API for response generation.
- We do not require an account, sign-in, or persistent identifier to use the assistant.
- OpenAI may process the message under its own API data-use terms. We do not opt the API into model training, and OpenAI’s standard API terms (as of writing) do not use API inputs for training.
- Conversations are not stored long-term by us. Use the assistant for general guidance only — do not submit sensitive credentials, personal identifiers, or confidential client material.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to consultation requests, assessment submissions, and other inquiries.
- Deliver, support, and improve the cybersecurity consulting services we offer.
- Communicate about engagements, scheduling, and follow-ups.
- Maintain the security and integrity of the Site (e.g., abuse prevention, rate limiting).
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal process.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
The Site uses minimal cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. The AI Assistant widget may store small amounts of session-level data in your browser (such as the open/closed state of the chat panel) using standard browser storage mechanisms. You can clear this at any time through your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Services We Use
To operate the Site and our business, we rely on the following service providers. Each has its own privacy practices:
- Netlify (web hosting and CDN) — Netlify Privacy
- Cloudflare (Worker that proxies AI assistant requests) — Cloudflare Privacy
- OpenAI (language model behind the AI assistant) — OpenAI Privacy
- Formspree (consultation and assessment form delivery) — Formspree Privacy
- Google Workspace (email at info@sekurewarden.com) — Google Privacy
5. How We Protect Information
Cybersecurity is our profession, and we apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we receive. This includes encryption in transit (HTTPS), least-privilege access controls, and secure handling of credentials. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain inquiry information for as long as needed to respond, document the engagement, and comply with our legal and accounting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information — for example, the right to access, correct, delete, or limit how we use it. California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request deletion. To exercise any right, email info@sekurewarden.com with the subject line “Privacy Request” and we will respond within a reasonable time as required by applicable law.
We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise privacy rights.
8. Children
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. International Visitors
The Site is hosted in the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. under U.S. law, which may differ from the privacy laws of your jurisdiction.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be flagged on the Site or communicated to active clients directly.
