Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws, including tax, accounting, and regulatory record-keeping requirements.

4. Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses a minimal cookie footprint consistent with our B2B professional services model.
4.1 Essential Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may be set by Cloudflare to deliver the website securely, manage traffic, and prevent abuse. These cookies do not track you across other websites and cannot be disabled without impairing site functionality.
4.2 Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics solution. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not fingerprint individual users, and does not track visitors across sites. All data is aggregated. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
4.3 Managing Cookies
You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. Your browser's help documentation provides instructions for your specific browser and version.
5. Third-Party Services
We use a limited set of trusted third-party services to operate our website. Each service is selected with data minimization in mind and governed by its own privacy policy.
| Service | Purpose | Data Processed | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formspree | Contact form processing and delivery | Form submission data (name, email, message), IP address, timestamp | formspree.io/legal |
| Cloudflare | Website hosting, CDN, DDoS protection, privacy-first analytics | IP address (anonymized), request metadata, aggregated traffic data | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
We do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, social media tracking widgets, or third-party behavioral analytics on this website.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, contractual, and business requirements:
- Contact form inquiries — retained for up to 24 months from the date of submission to support follow-up engagement and audit requirements, then deleted or anonymized.
- Active client engagement data — retained for the duration of the engagement plus 7 years to satisfy accounting, tax, and contractual obligations under Georgia law and applicable federal requirements.
- Website analytics data — retained in aggregate form per Cloudflare's standard retention schedule. No individually identifiable analytics data is stored by TechSquad.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized. You may request early deletion at any time — see Section 8.
7. Data Security
As a cybersecurity consulting firm, we hold ourselves to a rigorous security standard that exceeds common industry practice:
- All data transmitted to and from our website is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher encryption.
- Cloudflare's infrastructure provides DDoS mitigation, WAF protection, and origin shielding.
- Internal access to inquiry data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
- We apply Zero Trust principles to all internal systems handling client or prospect data.
- We do not store sensitive personal data in plaintext.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we apply appropriate technical and organizational measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. We honor these rights without requiring you to pay a fee and will respond within 30 days of a verified request.
