RidgeCTX, LLC ("RidgeCTX," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at ridgectx.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Site only and does not cover any other services RidgeCTX may provide.

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• Information you provide directly. If you email us at info@ridgectx.com, we receive whatever you choose to share — typically your name, email address, organization, and the contents of your message.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address (used to derive an approximate location), browser and device type, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and the site that referred you.

How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

• Respond to inquiries sent to info@ridgectx.com;
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it; and
• Comply with legal obligations and protect the security of the Site.

Cookies & Analytics

The Site uses two categories of cookies:

• Necessary cookies. Used to remember your cookie preferences and keep the Site functioning. These are set automatically and cannot be turned off.
• Analytics cookies. Set by Google Analytics only if you consent, so we can understand how visitors use the Site. Google processes this information on our behalf and may combine it with data it has from other sources, subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

When you first visit the Site, a banner asks you to accept, reject, or choose which of these categories apply. Analytics cookies are only set after you affirmatively opt in — nothing beyond necessary cookies is placed by default. You can review or change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Site footer, or by clearing your browser's local storage for this Site.

You can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visit by adjusting your browser's cookie settings, using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or enabling "Do Not Track"/similar privacy settings supported by your browser.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site, such as Google (for analytics);
• Authorities or other parties when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of RidgeCTX or others; and
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data Retention

We retain information you send us for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain our business records, and Google Analytics data for the retention period configured in our analytics account. We delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed for these purposes.

Your Choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you've sent us by emailing info@ridgectx.com. You can also limit or opt out of analytics collection using the browser controls described in "Cookies & Analytics" above.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a professional audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
