Privacy Policy

Plaintext Security Advisors LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website plaintextadvisors.com. We value transparency and information security. This Privacy Policy outlines our data management procedures regarding the minimal information collected on our corporate landing page.

1. Information We Collect

We restrict data gathering strictly to information that you explicitly submit or generate through the channels below:

• Scheduling Verification: Before revealing our scheduling link, we use Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm you're not an automated bot. Turnstile processes browser/network signals (which can include your IP address) to make that determination; this happens under Cloudflare's own privacy policy, and we never see the underlying signal itself -- only a pass/fail result.
• Scheduling Data: Once verified, you're directed to our Google Calendar booking page to select a time. Any information you provide there (name, email address, and any notes) is collected and processed by Google under Google's own privacy policy, and shared back with us as a calendar booking.
• Direct Correspondence: If you email us directly, we collect whatever you include in that message.

2. Data Processing and Utilization

We process your submitted data exclusively to address your inquiries, evaluate engagement requests, or sustain ongoing professional relations. Your personal data is never sold, leased, or distributed to marketing brokers or third-party lists.

3. Third-Party Infrastructure Processors

Our scheduling flow relies on two third-party processors: Cloudflare (bot verification via Turnstile) and Google (calendar booking). Both operate under their own respective privacy policies, and neither is used by us for advertising or tracking purposes.

4. Infrastructure Tracking and Server Logs

Our web serving infrastructure maintains automated, short-term server logs. These logs capture system metadata (such as IP addresses, web browser identifiers, and connection timestamps) solely to defend our assets against brute-force exploitation, block malicious crawling systems, or troubleshoot runtime errors. We do not place tracking cookies or advertising pixels on this site.

5. Your Rights and Controls

For bookings made through our Google Calendar scheduling link, you can view, reschedule, or cancel using the confirmation Google sends you, and can request Google delete your data per Google's own privacy controls. For direct email correspondence with us, you can request details of what we hold or ask us to delete it at any time by submitting a request through standard operational contact paths.

6. Security Baseline Controls

We enforce modern TLS/SSL configurations to shield data during transit across our platform edge, alongside automated defensive pipeline scans to ensure our core infrastructure metrics remain secure.
