Privacy Policy
Last updated: undefined
This Privacy Policy describes how SZ-SHIELD ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit sz-shield.com (the "Site"). The Site is a personal professional website operated by SZ-SHIELD, a Digital forensics and incident response based in London. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Overview
This Site is primarily a static portfolio and informational presence. We do not process payments on this website, and visitors cannot create profiles here. Our goal is to provide professional background, contact details, and reference material in a straightforward format comparable to a brochure-style site.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you email SZ-SHIELD at undefined, we receive your correspondence including sender address and body text. Messages are used solely to reply to you. No login is needed to browse the Site.
Automatic technical data. Web hosting providers may log standard request metadata such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. Technical logs are retained briefly for operational reasons. SZ-SHIELD does not run first-party analytics trackers on the Site unless explicitly noted in a future update to this policy.
Cookies. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies. Essential cookies from the CDN or hosting provider may be used for routing, caching, or security. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
How we use information
Inquiries are handled by the site operator to answer questions about legal services, speaking, or professional matters. We do not monetize visitor emails. We do not build marketing profiles from Site visits. Retention follows reasonable professional record-keeping unless you request deletion where applicable law allows.
Legal bases and compliance
If you are in the EU, UK, or Canada, privacy laws may grant you access or deletion rights. Our processing is generally based on legitimate interests and consent for direct messages. You can request access to correspondence you sent.
Third-party services
Hosting and DNS may be provided by Cloudflare. Third-party hosts maintain separate privacy terms. If Google Fonts are loaded, Google may receive IP data. We do not embed social media widgets that track you across sites.
Children
The Site is intended for adults seeking professional information. Parents may contact us to remove inadvertent submissions.
Security
Industry-standard transport security is applied. No online system is perfectly secure. Sensitive legal documents should be exchanged through agreed secure methods.
Changes
Material changes will be reflected in the date above. Archive copies may be available on request.
Data retention
Retention periods depend on whether an attorney-client relationship forms. Server logs from hosting providers are rotated on their schedule. You may request deletion of non-essential personal data.
International transfers
Hosting may process data in the United States or other regions. We select hosts with standard contractual protections where available.
Your choices
No account is required. Disable third-party cookies if concerned about font CDNs. Avoid sending SSNs or full account numbers in plain email.
California and regional notices
California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding personal information. Nevada residents may opt out of certain data sales - we do not sell data. Responses will be provided within legally required timeframes.
Do Not Track
DNT settings have no effect beyond your browser's default behavior.
