Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with ReadyState Cybersecurity’s policies and practices, your choice is not to use the ReadyState Cybersecurity Platform.

2. Information ReadyState Cybersecurity Collects and How It Is Collected
The ReadyState Cybersecurity Platform does not offer user accounts, logins, or online payments, and it does not itself store forms or submissions you enter. ReadyState Cybersecurity collects information:
- Directly from you, when you email us, book a meeting, register for a course, webinar, or resource, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise contact us. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and the content of your messages (“Personal Information”).
- Automatically, as you navigate the ReadyState Cybersecurity Platform, through the visitor analytics described below.
- From third-party service providers we use to schedule meetings, deliver courses and resources, and fulfill merchandise orders, as described in Section 3.
Visitor Analytics
The ReadyState Cybersecurity Platform is hosted by Lovable, which provides privacy-friendly visitor analytics. This analytics uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not keep IP addresses, and does not identify individual visitors or recognize returning visitors. It records:
- The pages you visit and the website that referred you.
- Your country, browser, operating system, and device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet).
- How long you stay on a page, how fast pages load, and any errors that occur.
- Which buttons and links are clicked, identified by their position on the page.
This information is recorded for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days, and daily summaries are kept for one year. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable’s privacy policy explains how it handles it.
3. Third-Party Services
Some features of the ReadyState Cybersecurity Platform are provided by, or link to, third-party services. When you use them, those providers may collect information directly from you, and they may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies. ReadyState Cybersecurity does not control these providers’ tracking technologies.
