- Business transfer recipients. We may disclose information in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their independent direct marketing purposes unless we have a lawful basis to do so.
13. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Some privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly. Although we do not sell personal information for monetary compensation, the use of certain analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies may be considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under some laws if those technologies disclose personal information or identifiers to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising or similar purposes.
PirrottaConsulting.com is primarily an informational consulting site. We currently use or may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand Site usage. If we later use advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or cross-context behavioral advertising technologies, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate and provide opt-out or consent mechanisms where required by law.
14. Sensitive Personal Information
We do not intentionally request or require sensitive personal information through the Site. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through contact forms or ordinary email communications.
If you voluntarily provide sensitive personal information despite this request, we will process it only as reasonably necessary to handle the communication, delete it where appropriate, comply with law, protect rights, or manage the relevant inquiry.
We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about individuals.
15. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without legally required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information to us may contact webmaster@pirrotta.com.
16. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the inquiry, whether a business relationship develops, legal obligations, dispute resolution needs, recordkeeping requirements, security needs, and operational requirements.
In general:
| Type of Information | General Retention Approach |
|---|---|
| Contact form submissions and inquiries | Retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage the business relationship, maintain records, and protect legal rights |
| Email communications | Retained according to ordinary business, legal, and operational needs |
| Analytics data | Retained according to analytics provider settings and our operational needs |
| Security logs | Retained as reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting |
| Legal or compliance records | Retained as required or permitted by applicable law |
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or archive it in accordance with applicable law and operational requirements.
17. Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. These safeguards may include secure hosting, access controls, monitoring, encryption where appropriate, vendor controls, and other security practices.
However, no website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You should avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through the Site unless we have separately agreed to secure handling procedures.
18. International Data Transfers
Pirrotta Consulting is located in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may still send non-promotional messages related to inquiries, transactions, legal notices, or other business matters.
25. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, the Site may not respond to them.
Where legally required and technically feasible, we may recognize opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in connection with applicable opt-out rights. Implementation may depend on the technologies used on the Site and applicable legal requirements.
