Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 13, 2026

1. Control of Personal Data

Aparagon, Inc. (“Aparagon,” “we,” or “us”) is the owner of the website, aparagon.com (“Website”). Any personal data collected on the Website is maintained and controlled by Aparagon and any of its authorized affiliates or contractors, each of which is required to maintain the privacy of any personal data received by Aparagon with the same level of control and security as Aparagon maintains it.

2. How We Obtain and Collect Personal Data

In general, you can visit the Website without disclosing or revealing any personal identifying information. Aparagon does not conduct any transactions on or via its Website. Aparagon does, however, collect some data on or by its Website, described as follows:

Directly from you.

Most of the personal data that Aparagon obtains and maintains about you comes directly from you, because you have completed and submitted a form on the Website, such as our contact form, that requests your first and last name, work email address, company name, the topic you’d like help with, and an open message box for you to submit additional comments or information.

Automatically.

Aparagon also automatically collects technical information when you use the Website, such as IP address, log-in data, browser type, time zone setting and location, and plug-in types when you interact with our websites. We also collect data through “cookies.” A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that the Website can transfer to a user’s hard drive through the user’s browser. The cookie is then stored on the user’s computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the user’s computer, but not the user. In addition, Aparagon’s electronic direct marketing, if and when it is deployed, may include web beacons, cookies, and similar technologies that allow us to know whether you open, read, or delete the message, and links you may click. When you click a link in an electronic direct marketing message, we will also use a cookie to log what pages you view and what content you download from our websites, even if you are not registered at or signed into our site.

From public sources.

We may collect information about you from third parties and public sources (such as public databases and social media websites). This is to ensure we have accurate, up to date, or necessary information for us to communicate with you or to provide the best possible service. The types of information we may collect includes personal details (including name, age, gender, and other demographic data) and contact information (including postal address and telephone numbers).

Not from minors.

Aparagon does not intend for any minors under the age of 18 to submit any personal information via its website, and it will not knowingly seek or obtain any personal information from any minor under the age of 18.

Not sensitive data.

Aparagon does not request, nor does it want to receive, any sensitive personal data through this Website, such as social security numbers or financial or bank account data. Please do not provide any of this sensitive personal data to Aparagon through the Website.

3. How We Use the Information We Collect

Unless you provide consent, Aparagon will not use your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than as described herein. Aparagon uses personally identifiable information to reply to inquiries, handle complaints, provide operational notices, and in recordkeeping. Aparagon reserves the right to provide you with information about the Website, Aparagon’s services, and related information in which you have indicated an interest, unless you notify Aparagon by emailing [email protected] of your intent to be excluded.

Aparagon may use personal identifying and non-personal identifying information to enable it to recommend products, services, or special offers that would be of interest to you, and/or to contact you again about other Aparagon services and products. Aparagon may, from time to time, use your information to send you marketing or informational emails, text messages, or other communications.

From time to time, Aparagon may use other companies to deliver interactive online advertising, such as banner ads, and may collect and use information to help Aparagon better understand the types of advertising or promotions that are most appealing to Aparagon’s users. After it is collected, the information is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual. If, however, you would prefer that these companies not collect such information about you, please contact Aparagon by email at [email protected].

4. Disclosure of the Information

Internally.

Aparagon may share your personal information within the Aparagon corporate organization, with those employees and executives whose roles may require them to review such information.

Merger or Acquisition.

Circumstances may arise where, for business reasons, Aparagon decides to sell, buy, merge, or otherwise reorganize its businesses in the United States or some other country. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal identifying information to prospective or actual purchasers, and/or receiving such information from sellers. It is Aparagon’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

To authorized affiliates or agents.

Aparagon employs or engages other companies and individuals to perform business functions on behalf of Aparagon. These persons are provided with personal identifying information required to perform their functions, but are prohibited by contract from using the information for other purposes, including providing marketing assistance and user services.

To third-party marketing analysis consultants.

Aparagon reserves the right to disclose to third parties personal information about you for marketing analysis; however, any information disclosed will be in the form of aggregate data that does not describe or identify you individually.

To government authorities.

Under certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure under a judicial or other government subpoena, warrant, or order.

5. Information Security

Commitment to online security.

Aparagon employs physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online requests or complaints. All Aparagon agents and contractors with access to personal information on the Website are also bound to adhere to Aparagon’s security standards.

Acts by third parties.

Aparagon will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, Aparagon shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of Aparagon, including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of Aparagon staff and/or third parties.

8. California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of the Website who are California residents to request certain information regarding Aparagon’s disclosure of personal information for direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to Aparagon at [email protected]. Within thirty (30) days of receiving such a request, Aparagon will provide a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than once per calendar year. Aparagon reserves its right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the address specified in this paragraph.

California’s privacy laws require a company to provide notice to California users of their rights to receive information on which entities their information was shared with for marketing purposes.
