Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At BuildHardened.com, privacy is more than a principle - it is a key operational protocol. We understand the sensitive nature of the projects our visitors may be considering, and we are committed to ensuring your interaction with this site leaves no trace.

This Privacy Policy outlines our non-collection practices, our zero-storage model, and our complete avoidance of surveillance or behavioral tracking.

2. Assessment Tool Privacy

2.1 All responses entered into our on-site assessment tool are processed entirely within your browser.

2.2 No data entered is transmitted, stored, logged, or seen by us. The tool runs locally and does not communicate with our server.

2.3 We do not use session tracking, fingerprinting, or hidden analytics of any kind. Your answers remain private - even from us.

3. Communication and Client Data

3.1 If you choose to contact us via secure email, your message and address will be used solely to evaluate your inquiry. We do not subscribe, track, or share this information.

3.2 For clients engaging our consultancy or project management services, we may collect personal and project-specific data as required to fulfill planning, procurement, and legal responsibilities - including documentation for building control, statutory permissions, and financial compliance.

3.3 All data not required for regulatory, contractual, or accounting purposes may be securely destroyed at the conclusion of our work, at the client’s request or by default policy.

3.4 Build Hardened is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom and complies fully with applicable data protection laws.

3.5 To further enhance discretion and minimize any digital footprint of communication, we recommend clients use a privacy-focused email service such as ProtonMail or Tutanota, and access our site or correspondence via a trusted VPN provider.

4. Third-Party Links

4.1 BuildHardened.com may occasionally reference external resources. We do not embed third-party scripts, tracking pixels, or analytics in any link.

4.2 We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site before sharing personal information, as we are not responsible for their data practices.

5. Cookies and Tracking

5.1 This website does not use cookies - not for functionality, not for analytics, and not for behavioral profiling. We serve no third-party JavaScript.

5.2 BuildHardened.com is built to function without reliance on tracking technology. No tracking. No analytics. No compromise.

6. Our Commitment to Digital Discretion

6.1 Build Hardened operates under principles of compartmentalization and non-retention. Privacy is engineered into every layer of our digital presence, just as it is in our physical projects.

6.2 We do not seek to identify our users. We do not log IP addresses. We do not monitor behavior. Our systems are hardened for your security - and ours.

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect adjustments in privacy protocol or legal framework. However, our zero-tracking principle will never change. Any updates will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
