Privacy and data use
Privacy Policy
Wentworth Consulting Group believes privacy practices should be clear, proportionate, and aligned with how information is actually used.
Plain-language summary: We collect the information you choose to provide and limited technical information needed to operate and protect the website. We use it to respond to inquiries, provide requested information, maintain security, and operate our business. We do not sell personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how Wentworth Consulting Group, LLC (“WCG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit this website, submit a contact form, email us, or otherwise interact with us online.
1. Scope
This policy applies to personal information collected through this website and related online communications controlled by WCG. It does not govern a client’s internal systems, third-party websites, or services that publish their own privacy notices.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact WCG, we may collect your name, email address, organization, role, message, and any business or project information you choose to include.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting, security, and website service providers may automatically collect limited technical information such as an Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, date and time of access, and diagnostic or security events.
Information from business interactions
If you communicate with WCG outside the website, we may maintain professional contact details, correspondence, proposals, meeting notes, and other records reasonably connected to the relationship.
3. How we use information
WCG may use personal information to:
- Respond to questions, requests, and government or commercial inquiries.
- Evaluate whether WCG’s services may be appropriate for an organization.
- Provide requested materials, proposals, or other business communications.
- Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website.
- Detect misuse, fraud, security threats, or technical problems.
- Maintain appropriate business, tax, compliance, and legal records.
- Protect WCG, its clients, website visitors, and other parties.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, WCG relies on consent, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate business interests that do not override applicable privacy rights.
4. How information is shared
WCG may disclose personal information to service providers that support hosting, email, security, website operations, professional services, and business administration. These providers may process information only for the services they perform and subject to their agreements and legal obligations.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process; respond to lawful government requests; investigate security, fraud, or misuse; protect rights and safety; enforce agreements; or support a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of all or part of the business.
WCG does not sell personal information and does not use website visitor information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.
5. Cookies and technical data
The website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies that are necessary for site operation, security, preferences, and performance. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect site functionality.
WCG does not currently use website information for targeted advertising. If material analytics or advertising practices are introduced, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated.
6. Retention
WCG retains personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, meeting legal or compliance obligations, and protecting systems. Retention periods vary based on the nature of the information and the reason it is maintained.
7. Security
WCG uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. No internet transmission, website, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Sensitive and regulated information
The public contact form is not an approved channel for classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), export-controlled data, medical information, financial account information, passwords, security credentials, or other highly sensitive or regulated information.
Government agencies, contractors, and regulated organizations should use the contact form only to begin a conversation. WCG will arrange an appropriate authorized channel when sensitive information must be exchanged.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information; withdraw consent; or appeal a decision concerning a privacy request. Because WCG does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, there is no sale or targeted-advertising opt-out required for our current website practices.
Submit a request using the contact information below with the subject line Privacy Request. WCG may need to verify your identity and may retain or decline to delete information where permitted or required by law.
Browser-based privacy preference signals are addressed where required by applicable law. Because WCG does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, such signals do not change our current website practices.
10. Children’s privacy
This website is intended for business and government audiences and is not directed to children under 13. WCG does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If we learn that such information was collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
11. Third-party links
This website may link to third-party websites or services. WCG does not control their privacy, security, or content. Review the applicable third party’s privacy notice before providing information.
12. Changes to this policy
WCG may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in website functionality, business practices, service providers, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of the page identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
