Privacy Policy for Engineering & Computer Simulations, Inc. (ECS)

1. Introduction

At https://www.ecsorl.com/, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our visitors. This policy outlines how we manage information on our website. We believe in transparency and providing our users with meaningful control over their data.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our services:

  • Automatically Collected Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically collect basic log and usage data, such as your IP address, browser type, and device characteristics, when you access our site.

  • Voluntarily Provided Information: If you choose to contact us via email or a contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name and email address, solely to respond to your inquiry.

3. Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use a “consent-first” model for tracking technologies.

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies and services, such as Google reCAPTCHA, are essential for the basic functionality and security of the website and are enabled by default to ensure the site operates correctly. This includes core site security (including spam and bot protection), maintaining page stability, and ensuring that our contact and inquiry forms function correctly.

  • Optional Tracking: Analytics and performance tools (e.g., Google Analytics) are only active if you explicitly provide consent through our Privacy & Consent interface. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time via the settings link in the website footer.

4. Third-Party Integrations

Our site may include links or embeds from third-party services. These third parties may set their own cookies or collect data when you interact with their content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers.

5. Data Security and Retention

  • Security: We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access or misuse.

  • Retention: We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.

6. Your Rights and California Privacy Disclosures

  • Transparency: Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we disclose that we do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) browser signals, as our third-party integrations may not honor these settings.

  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information. While we do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, we utilize certain third-party tools that may “share” information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of this sharing at any time by:

    • Using our Privacy & Consent Tool: You may disable “Marketing” or “Analytics” categories within our Privacy & Consent interface, which can be accessed via the link in the website footer.

    • Global Privacy Control: We recognize and respect Universal Opt-Out Signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allows you to communicate your privacy preferences automatically through your browser settings.

  • User Rights: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights or for any privacy-related inquiries, please contact us at info@ecsorl.com

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant updates by posting the revised version on this page.
