Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Ryan Wentzel provides services through Wentzel Investments LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("we," "our," or "us"), which collects information you provide directly to us, such as when you:

• Fill out our contact forms or request consultations
• Communicate with us via email, phone, or other channels
• Subscribe to our newsletters or updates
• Participate in surveys or provide feedback
• Use our website and services

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our cybersecurity, digital forensics, and fractional executive advisory services
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Send you information about our services and industry insights
• Comply with legal obligations and regulatory requirements
• Protect against fraud and ensure transaction security

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain strict confidentiality and do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except:

• To trusted service providers who assist in our operations
• When required by law or to protect our legal rights
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• With your explicit consent

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption, secure data transmission, and restricted access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

5. Analytics

When a Cloudflare Web Analytics site id is configured, this site loads Cloudflare's cookieless analytics script (from static.cloudflareinsights.com) only after analytics consent is effective. It records the page you viewed, the referring page, your browser and device type, your approximate country, and page-load timings, and we see only aggregate counts. It sets no cookies and does not use your browser’s local storage. If you decline or withdraw analytics consent, it does not load. We run no other analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking on this site.

6. Cookies and Consent

This site uses strictly-necessary cookies and storage required for it to function (for example, remembering your theme and your cookie choice). These cannot be switched off.

We honor your choice based on where you are:

• EU, EEA, the UK, and Switzerland (and any region we cannot identify): nothing beyond strictly-necessary cookies loads until you accept through the cookie banner.
• Other regions: we show a notice and provide an opt-out. You may opt out at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer.
• We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if your browser sends it, we treat it as an opt-out of all non-essential cookies automatically.

You can review or change your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, or through your browser settings.

7. Data Retention

Contact-form submissions (your name, email address, company, inquiry type, and message, plus the IP address and browser user-agent recorded with them) are kept for 24 months from the date you submit them and are then deleted automatically.

You can ask us to export or delete your submissions sooner at any time using the contact details below. Our tamper-evident security audit log keeps only a one-way hash of your email address and IP address, never your name or message.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access and review your personal information
• Request corrections to inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• File a complaint with regulatory authorities

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website and updating the effective date.
