Effective date: [September 14, 2025]
Who we are: Adjertech (“Adjertech,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Contact: info@adjertech.com

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you visit our website, contact us, download resources, or use our consulting/automation services (collectively, the “Services”).

We wrote this to satisfy U.S. privacy laws and to be Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA)‑ready on/after October 1, 2025.

1) Personal data we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Identifiers & contact — name, email address, phone number, mailing address, country/state, company name, role/title.
Commercial & professional info — inquiry details, project notes, SOWs, invoices, records of Services purchased.
Internet/technical data — IP address, device/OS/browser, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and similar telemetry generated by our site or tools we use.
Cookies & similar tech — identifiers that help operate the site, prevent fraud, measure audiences, and remember preferences. See § 10 Cookies & analytics.
Inferences — preferences or estimated interests derived from the data above (e.g., likely topics you’re interested in).
Sensitive data — we do not seek to collect sensitive data (e.g., precise geolocation, biometric identifiers, health data). If a project requires limited processing of such data, we’ll only do so when strictly necessary to provide/maintain the requested Service or with your consent (see § 6 Sensitive data).

Sources. You, your devices, our service providers (e.g., analytics, hosting), and public/professional sources (e.g., LinkedIn, event lists) consistent with your settings and applicable laws.

2) How we use personal data

We use data to: - Provide, secure, and troubleshoot the Services; fulfill requests; operate our site; personalize basic content (not behavioral ads). - Communicate with you (support, updates, proposals, billing, and transactional emails). - Analyze usage and improve performance; develop new features; detect/prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents. - Meet legal, regulatory, and tax obligations; enforce agreements; protect rights, safety, and property. - Marketing we think is relevant to you (B2B emails or ads), consistent with your choices and opt‑outs.

We follow data minimization and purpose limitation principles: collect only what’s reasonably necessary, use it for the stated purposes, and obtain consent if we later want to use data for a materially different, incompatible purpose.

3) How we share personal data

We disclose data to: - Service providers/Processors (e.g., hosting, cloud platforms, analytics, CRM, email delivery, payment processing) under written contracts that limit their use to our instructions. - Business partners you direct us to work with on a project. - Professional advisors & compliance (lawyers, accountants, insurers) under confidentiality. - Corporate transactions (merger, investment, sale/transfer) where data is part of assets. - Law enforcement/Legal when required or to protect rights, safety, and security. - Affiliates under this Policy.

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for cross‑context behavioral/targeted advertising. If that changes, we will update this Policy and provide clear opt‑out mechanisms.

4) Your privacy rights (Maryland and U.S. state rights)

Where applicable, you may: 1. Confirm whether we process your personal data and access it. 2. Correct inaccuracies, considering the nature and purposes of processing. 3. Delete personal data you provided or that we obtained about you (subject to legal retention). 4. Obtain a portable copy of personal data you provided to us, in a usable format. 5. Obtain a list of categories of third parties to which we disclosed your personal data. 6. Opt out of: (i) targeted advertising; (ii) the sale of personal data; and (iii) profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

How to exercise. Email info@adjertech.com or use our Privacy Choices page: https://adjertech.com/privacy-policy-terms We will respond within 45 days (and may extend once by 45 days where reasonably necessary). You won’t be charged for one request per 12‑month period. We may request information to verify your identity and may deny unfounded/excessive requests.

Appeals. If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision; we’ll explain the result and how to contact the Maryland Consumer Protection Division to lodge a complaint.

Authorized agents & universal signals. You may use an authorized agent to submit an opt‑out, including via a browser/plug‑in or opt‑out preference signal (e.g., Global Privacy Control) that communicates your choice. Where we can reasonably verify the request, we will honor it. See § 9.

5) Non‑discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights (e.g., deny goods/services or charge different prices), except that we may offer legitimate loyalty or similar programs consistent with the law.

6) Sensitive data

We do not sell sensitive data. We do not collect, process, or share sensitive data (e.g., precise geolocation, biometric/genetic data, consumer health data, data about a known child, or data revealing race/ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or citizenship/immigration status) unless it is strictly necessary to provide/maintain a Service or you give consent. You may revoke consent at any time, and we will stop processing as soon as practicable (no later than 30 days), subject to legal obligations.

7) Children & teens

Our Services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly engage in targeted advertising to teens 13–17, nor sell their personal data without consent. If you believe we have collected a child’s data, contact info@adjertech.com.

8) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here (typically: web analytics ≤ 13 months; prospect records 24–36 months; customer/accounting records 7 years, or longer where the law requires). We then delete or de‑identify data.

9) Your privacy choices & browser signals

Opt‑out links — https://adjertech.com/contact-us let you opt out of sale/sharing, targeted advertising, and certain profiling.
Browser/plug‑in signals — we will recognize valid opt‑out preference signals (such as a compliant Global Privacy Control signal) by October 1, 2025 and apply them to your browser/device.
Marketing emails — use the unsubscribe link in any message.

10) Cookies & analytics

We use cookies/SDKs to: - run the site (strictly necessary); - measure performance and detect bugs; - understand aggregate usage; and - remember preferences.

You can control cookies from your browser settings and via our Cookie Preferences banner (where shown). Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

11) Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data (e.g., least‑privilege access, encryption in transit, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, regular backups, and incident response procedures). No system is 100% secure; please use strong, unique passwords and don’t send secrets in free‑text forms.

12) International transfers

Consulting Services Supplement (Master Terms)

Applies when a client engages Adjertech for paid work

A) Scope & SOWs

We’ll describe each project’s scope, deliverables, timeline, fees, and assumptions in a mutually signed SOW. Conflicts between an SOW and these Master Terms are resolved in favor of the SOW.

B) Fees, expenses, and taxes

Fees are as stated in the SOW (time‑and‑materials or fixed price).
We may invoice reasonable, pre‑approved expenses at cost.
Invoices are due Net 15 unless the SOW states otherwise. Late amounts may accrue the lesser of 1.5%/month or the maximum allowed by law.
Client is responsible for applicable taxes (excluding our income taxes). If required by law, Client will provide valid exemption certificates or withholdings documentation.

C) Deliverables & IP

Client Materials. Client retains ownership of all materials and data it supplies. Client grants Adjertech a limited license to use Client Materials to perform the Services.
Pre‑existing IP & Tools. Adjertech retains ownership of its pre‑existing materials, know‑how, code, frameworks, and general‑purpose tools (“Adjertech Tools”). To the extent Adjertech Tools are embedded in Deliverables, Adjertech grants Client a perpetual, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use them as part of the Deliverables.
Work Product. Upon full payment, Client owns Deliverables specifically identified in the SOW as “Client‑owned,” excluding Adjertech Tools and third‑party components. If an SOW states Deliverables are licensed (e.g., accelerators, reusable components), they’re licensed as described in that SOW.
Open‑source/Third‑party. Deliverables may include third‑party or open‑source components under their own licenses.

D) Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own (not less than reasonable care), and use it only for performing/receiving the Services. Exceptions include information that is public, already known without duty, independently developed, or lawfully disclosed by a third party. Required disclosures (e.g., by law) are permitted with prompt notice where lawful.

E) Data protection & security

When Adjertech processes personal data on Client’s behalf (as a processor/service provider), Adjertech will: (i) act on Client’s documented instructions; (ii) implement reasonable security; (iii) ensure personnel confidentiality; (iv) assist with data subject requests that Client must respond to; and (v) delete/return data at the end of the engagement, subject to legal retention. A project‑specific Data Processing Addendum (DPA) will be provided on request.

F) Warranties & disclaimers

We warrant we will perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Except for the foregoing, the Services and Deliverables are provided “as is.” We disclaim all other warranties.

G) Indemnities

By Adjertech. We will defend and indemnify Client against third‑party claims that Deliverables, as delivered and used according to the SOW, infringe a U.S. intellectual‑property right, and pay resulting damages/fees finally awarded or approved in settlement. If infringement is alleged, we may procure rights, modify, or replace the Deliverable; if not feasible, we may refund prepaid, unused fees for the affected Deliverable.
By Client. Client will defend and indemnify Adjertech against claims arising from Client Materials, Client‑directed configurations, or Client’s misuse of the Services.

H) Liability cap

Each party’s aggregate liability arising out of the Services is capped at the fees paid or payable by Client to Adjertech for the Services giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before the event (excluding indemnity obligations for IP infringement and Client’s payment obligations). Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, or data.

I) Term, termination, and suspension

Either party may terminate an SOW for material breach not cured within 30 days after written notice. Either party may terminate for convenience on 15 days’ notice if allowed by the SOW (fees due through the effective date; non‑cancelable costs are Client’s responsibility). We may suspend work for non‑payment.

J) Non‑solicitation

During the engagement and for 6 months after, neither party will solicit employment of the other’s personnel who worked on the engagement, except via public job postings (no penalty for general solicitations).

K) Miscellaneous

Assignment with consent (not unreasonably withheld), except to an affiliate or as part of a merger/sale. Notices by email are effective on receipt. Force majeure applies. If any term is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. These Master Terms plus the SOW are the complete agreement for the Services.
