Privacy Policy

Who we are

This Privacy Policy describes how Operative Private Advisory, LLC ("Operative," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or contact us through it. Operative is a cybersecurity advisory practice serving individuals, families, family offices, and closely-held businesses.

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address, the name of anyone who referred you (if provided), the category of your inquiry, and the content of your message.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information — such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited — for security and operational purposes. We do not currently use analytics or advertising tracking scripts on this site.

How we use this information

We use the information you provide solely to:

• Respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, schedule or scope a potential engagement.
• Maintain records of client and prospective-client communications as needed for our own business and legal purposes.
• Improve and maintain the security and functioning of this website.

We do not use information submitted through this website for advertising, do not sell it, and do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate (for example, email or hosting providers), bound by confidentiality obligations.
• If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.
• With your explicit consent — for example, if you ask us to coordinate directly with a referring advisor, attorney, or family-office administrator.

Confidentiality is central to how this practice operates; information shared with us is never disclosed to a referral partner, employer, or any other party beyond what you have specifically authorized.

Data retention

We retain contact-form submissions and related correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain business records, or comply with legal obligations, after which it is deleted in the ordinary course of business.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain uses. This applies in particular to residents of California and other states with comprehensive privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below — we will respond within a reasonable time.

Cookies

This site does not currently use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. If that changes, this policy will be updated accordingly, and where required, we will seek your consent first.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information submitted through this site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

This website and our services are directed at adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
