Iron Shield Systems ("Iron Shield," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This website is an informational corporate site, and we aim to collect as little personal information as possible while still being able to respond to legitimate business inquiries. By using this site or contacting us through it, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact us — for example, when you complete the inquiry form or email us directly. This may include your name, organization or agency, email address, your stated area of interest, and the contents of your message. We ask that you do not submit controlled, classified, or export-restricted information through this website.

We also automatically receive limited technical information that is standard to web traffic, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is used to keep the site secure and functioning and is not used to build a profile of you.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to respond to and manage your inquiry, to evaluate potential business, procurement, or partnership relationships, to operate, secure, and improve this website, and to comply with our legal, regulatory, and export-control obligations. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

3. Legal Basis

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on your consent when you choose to contact us and on our legitimate interest in operating a secure corporate website and responding to business inquiries directed to us.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising purposes. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate this site or manage communications, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform those services under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including in connection with export-control and end-user verification requirements, and to protect the rights, safety, and security of Iron Shield, our partners, and the public.

5. International Transfers

Iron Shield operates from Canada and works with partners in allied jurisdictions. Information you provide may be processed in Canada or in other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those of your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection.

6. Data Retention

We retain inquiry information only for as long as needed to address your request, to maintain a record of our business communications, and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

7. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and loss. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@ironshieldsystems.com and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. Cookies & Analytics

This site uses only the cookies and similar technologies necessary for it to function and to keep it secure. If we introduce optional analytics in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent.

10. Third-Party Links

This site may link to third-party websites or embed third-party content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above, and your continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
