Privacy Policy
Effective date: 4 August 2026
Last updated: 4 August 2026
This policy explains what personal data Pareto Solutions LLC collects through paretosolutionsllc.com, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. It applies to this website only.
1. Who we are
Pareto Solutions LLC is the data controller for information collected through this site.
Pareto Solutions LLC
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
Email: contact@paretosolutionsllc.com
Phone: +1 (720) 722-4183
Pareto Solutions LLC is a U.S. Government contractor and a registrant of the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. That status affects how we handle inquiry data — see Section 6.
2. What we collect
Information you give us. When you submit the contact form we collect the name, email address, telephone number, subject line, and message content you enter. We do not require you to provide a telephone number.
Information collected automatically. Our hosting provider and security software record server log data — IP address, browser user agent, requested page, and timestamp — for the purpose of operating and defending the site. Our consent management tool stores your cookie preferences on your device.
What we do not collect. This site does not sell anything, does not process payments, does not run advertising or behavioural tracking, and does not use analytics cookies. We do not build profiles and we do not carry out automated decision-making.
3. Why we process it, and on what basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR) |
| Responding to your inquiry and any follow-on correspondence | Art. 6(1)(b) — steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract; Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries |
| Export-control screening and record-keeping (see Section 6) | Art. 6(1)(c) — compliance with a legal obligation under U.S. law; Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest in lawful trade compliance |
| Site security, abuse prevention, and server logging | Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest in protecting our systems |
| Storing your cookie preference | Strictly necessary for a service you requested |
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf, and only as needed to run this site:
- Hostinger International — website hosting and server logs
- Brainstorm Force (SureForms / SureMail) — contact form processing and email delivery
- Defiant, Inc. (Wordfence) — website security and threat blocking
- Complianz B.V. — cookie consent management
- Our email provider — delivery and storage of inquiry correspondence
We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or lawful request from a U.S. Government agency, including in connection with export-control or contract-compliance obligations.
5. International transfers
We are established in the United States, so data you submit is processed in the United States. Where we receive personal data from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, transfers are made under the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, where applicable), supported by a transfer impact assessment. You may request a summary of those safeguards using the contact details above.
6. Export control notice
Pareto Solutions LLC provides defense services regulated under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR Parts 120–130). Because of that:
- Inquiries may be screened against U.S. Government restricted-party lists, including the Consolidated Screening List.
- We may ask you for citizenship or nationality information in order to make a U.S.-person determination before providing any controlled information, course access, or technical discussion. Providing it is not required to submit an inquiry, but we cannot release controlled material without it.
- Records of inquiries, screening, and access determinations are retained for five years as required by 22 CFR 122.5.
Do not submit classified, export-controlled, controlled unclassified, or otherwise sensitive information through this website. This site is not an approved channel for such material. If you need to discuss controlled information, say so in general terms and we will arrange an appropriate channel.
7. How long we keep it
- Contact form submissions: 12 months from last contact, unless the inquiry becomes an active engagement or falls under the export-control retention requirement above.
- Export-control screening records: five years (22 CFR 122.5).
- Server and security logs: typically 30–90 days, per our hosting and security providers’ retention settings.
- Cookie preference: stored on your device until it expires or you clear it.
8. Cookies
This site uses only cookies that are strictly necessary for it to function, plus a cookie that remembers your consent choice. We do not use analytics, advertising, or social media tracking cookies. You can review and change your choice at any time through the cookie preferences link, and full detail is in our Cookie Policy.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to your personal data; correction of inaccurate data; erasure; restriction of processing; portability; and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Some of these rights are limited where we are legally required to retain records — export-control records in particular cannot be deleted on request.
To exercise any right, email contact@paretosolutionsllc.com. We will verify your identity and respond within 30 days, or tell you why we need longer.
If you are in the EEA or the UK and believe we have handled your data improperly, you may lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
10. Is providing data required?
No. Providing personal data through this site is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to provide an email address, we will have no way to respond to your inquiry.
11. Children
This site is directed at government, defense, and critical-infrastructure professionals. It is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes will be noted on this page.
