NorthBridge Advisory Partners ("NorthBridge," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1Who we are
NorthBridge Advisory Partners is a boutique executive advisory firm and a HWS Technologies company, providing technology, cybersecurity, and risk advisory services to regulated and investor-backed organizations. This policy applies to information collected through northbridgeadvisorypartners.com (the "Site"). It does not govern information handled within a signed client engagement, which is addressed in the applicable engagement agreement.
2Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact us through the Site's inquiry form or by email, we collect the information you choose to share — typically your name, organization, email address, area of interest, and the details of your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider's standard server logs may record limited technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. To understand how the Site is used, we rely on privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that report only aggregate trends — not the identities or activity of individual visitors (see "Cookies and analytics" below).
3How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about a potential or existing engagement.
- To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used.
- To comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
We do not use the information you submit to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
4How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers who support the Site and our communications (for example, hosting, email, or analytics), under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Legal and regulatory requirements, to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights, our clients, or the public.
- Business transfers, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction, subject to this policy.
5Cookies and analytics
We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service (Fathom Analytics) to understand aggregate usage of the Site — such as which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive. It does not set cookies, does not collect personal or identifiable information, and does not track or profile individual visitors across other sites. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can manage any cookies through your browser settings; because the Site relies on cookieless analytics, disabling them should not affect core functionality.
6Data security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive or confidential details through the Site's form; we are glad to establish a secure channel and, where appropriate, a non-disclosure agreement before you share specifics.
7Data retention
We keep inquiry information only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your request, to meet our legal and recordkeeping obligations, and for legitimate business purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
8Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. You may also opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
9Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.
10Children's privacy
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes will be reflected on this page.
