Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 2023
Company: CABiT PIA (“CABiT PIA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)

CABiT PIA is a private intelligence and geopolitical risk advisory firm. Discretion and confidentiality are fundamental to our work. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or engage our services.

1) Our Core Privacy Commitment

CABiT PIA maintains strict confidentiality standards. We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise commercially share:

  • client information,
  • operational information,
  • asset-related information,
  • engagement details,
  • intelligence products or related deliverables, or
  • any sensitive business, security, or risk data entrusted to us.

We treat client and operational information as confidential by default and restrict access to a need-to-know basis.

2) Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as:

  • name, title, organization, and contact information,
  • details provided through contact forms, email, phone calls, or messaging,
  • engagement-related information needed to scope services,
  • billing and administrative information (as applicable).

B. Information Collected Automatically (Website Use)

When you visit our website, we may collect limited technical data, such as:

  • IP address and approximate location (city/state),
  • browser type, device type, operating system,
  • pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps,
  • basic analytics or performance information.

This website data is used for security, performance, and site improvement.

C. Sensitive and Operational Information

Depending on the nature of an engagement, we may receive or generate sensitive information, including operational context, continuity planning details, travel or site considerations, or other mission-critical data. We treat all such information as highly confidential.

3) How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • respond to inquiries and communicate with you,
  • evaluate, initiate, and perform contracted services,
  • provide intelligence, advisory deliverables, or risk support,
  • maintain operational security, business continuity, and internal controls,
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements,
  • protect against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized access.

We do not use client information for advertising networks or for data brokerage.

4) Disclosure of Information

A. No Sale, No Trade, No Commercial Sharing

CABiT PIA does not sell, trade, rent, or commercially share personal information or client/operational information.

B. Limited Disclosure for Service Providers (If Needed)

In limited cases, we may use vetted third-party providers for essential business operations (for example, secure communications, IT infrastructure, website hosting, payment processing, or legal/accounting support). When we do:

  • providers receive only the minimum information necessary,
  • providers are required to protect confidentiality and security,
  • providers are prohibited from using the information for their own purposes.

C. Legal Requirements

We may disclose information only when we determine disclosure is necessary to:

  • comply with applicable laws, lawful process, or government requests,
  • respond to subpoenas, court orders, or similar legal demands,
  • protect the rights, safety, and security of CABiT PIA, our clients, or others,
  • investigate or prevent suspected fraud, illegal activity, or security incidents.

Operational, asset-related, and client-sensitive information is subject to strict handling requirements and may be restricted from disclosure under applicable federal law and regulations. Where legally permitted, we will seek to limit the scope of any disclosure and apply appropriate safeguards.

5) Confidentiality of Client, Operational, and Asset Information

CABiT PIA implements strict confidentiality measures designed for high-sensitivity engagements, including:

  • need-to-know access controls,
  • least-privilege permissions,
  • secure storage and controlled retention,
  • compartmentalization where appropriate,
  • operational security practices aligned to risk level.

We do not publish case studies, client names, engagement details, or operational information without explicit written authorization.

6) Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we handle. While no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we take reasonable and appropriate steps to reduce risk of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

7) Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to:

  • provide requested services,
  • meet contractual obligations,
  • satisfy legal, accounting, and compliance requirements,
  • protect our legitimate business interests and security needs.

Retention periods may vary depending on engagement type, applicable law, and operational considerations.

8) Your Choices and Requests

You may request to:

  • access or correct certain personal information you provided,
  • update contact information,
  • request deletion of certain information, subject to legal/contractual retention obligations and security requirements.
