4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable under GDPR and similar regulations, we process personal data on the following legal bases: your consent, which you may withdraw at any time; the necessity to perform a contract or take steps at your request before entering into a contract; our legitimate business interests in operating and improving our website and services, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights; and compliance with our legal obligations under applicable laws.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

ONS Consulting LLC does not sell, rent, trade, or lease your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party vendors to perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, and analytics. These providers have access to personal information only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality and security.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified via email or prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. When determining retention periods, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements. When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it using industry-standard methods.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encryption of data in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS), secure server configurations, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

The data protection laws of the United States may differ from those of your country of residence. By using our website and providing your information, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States for processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by ONS Consulting LLC.
