Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

Control Witness ("Control Witness," "we," "us," or "our") provides managed operational support for California data brokers handling recurring DROP-related workflows. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information through controlwitness.com, our related communications, and our business development activities.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our public website and through direct communications with us. It does not replace any separate confidentiality agreement, master services agreement, statement of work, or other signed customer contract.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact information you provide to us, such as your name, work email address, company name, title, phone number, and the contents of messages you send us.
• Business inquiry information related to a request for information, a scoping call, a proposal, or a pilot discussion.
• Technical and usage information collected automatically when you use our site, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. This may be collected through ordinary hosting logs and similar website infrastructure.
• Communications records when you email us, submit a form, or otherwise contact us.

We do not intend for this website to collect regulated DROP files, transaction IDs, or customer data belonging to our clients through the public website inquiry flow.

2. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to inquiries and requests;
• schedule and conduct scoping calls;
• prepare and send proposals, order forms, and related business materials;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website;
• prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights; and
• maintain internal business records related to our sales and delivery operations.

We do not sell personal information collected through this website.

3. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information:

• to service providers that help us host, operate, or secure the website or our communications;
• to professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, or insurers where reasonably necessary;
• in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business; and
• if required by law, regulation, court order, or other legal process, or if necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

We do not disclose website inquiry data to data broker customers for their marketing use.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our site may use ordinary website technologies such as server logs, caching, and basic functionality-related technologies required for hosting and site operation.

We do not currently use this website as a consumer advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising property.

5. Do Not Track

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to these signals. Because of that, we do not respond differently to browser-based Do Not Track signals.

6. Third-Party Collection and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or information practices of those third parties.

Third parties such as our website host, email provider, and infrastructure providers may receive technical information as part of providing services to us. We do not knowingly permit third parties to use our website as a cross-site tracking surface for unrelated advertising purposes.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, protecting our rights, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information appropriate to the nature of the information we collect through the website.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under California law with respect to certain personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

We may need to verify your request before responding. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

10. Information for Business Contacts

Control Witness is a B2B service provider. Much of the information we collect through the website relates to business representatives acting on behalf of companies, prospective clients, vendors, or professional advisers.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.

12. International Visitors

Control Witness is based in the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
