Privacy Policy

When you contact us, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, business email address, organization, inquiry topic, and message. Please do not submit confidential, proprietary, health, payment, government-identification, or security-sensitive information.

Our hosting and security providers may automatically process limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, referring page, date and time, and diagnostic or security logs. The draft-fit preview on this site runs in your browser and does not transmit its selections to CoastalQuant.

The current contact form prepares an email draft locally in your browser. Form contents are not uploaded to or stored by this website. If you choose to send the prepared email, CoastalQuant will receive the message and the metadata included by your email provider.

We use personal information to respond to and manage inquiries; understand interest in possible future services or research collaboration; operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website; prevent spam, fraud, and abuse; comply with legal obligations; and protect legal rights. Where applicable, we rely on steps taken at your request, consent, legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website.

We may disclose information to providers supporting website hosting, security, and email communications; professional advisers; authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights and safety; or in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of the business. We do not rent or sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not currently use custom advertising cookies, third-party behavioral advertising, or a site analytics SDK. Essential hosting and security technologies may be used to deliver and protect the site. If these practices materially change, we will update this Policy and provide any notice or choices required by law.

We retain inquiry correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage a possible business or research relationship, maintain security, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Hosting and security logs are retained according to provider settings and policies. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it as appropriate.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information we process. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. CoastalQuant and its providers may process information in the United States and other locations where they operate, subject to safeguards required by applicable law.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction of or objection to processing, withdrawal of consent, or review of a denied request. We may need to verify a request and may retain information where permitted or required by law. Submit a privacy request through the Contact page.

This website is intended for business and research audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

Links to third-party websites are governed by those parties' privacy practices, not this Policy.

We may update this Policy as the website and our practices develop. We will post the revised version here and change the “Last updated” date. Material changes will receive additional notice when required by law.
