1. Overview.
Coastal Vanguard LLC (“the firm,” “we,” “us”) operates the website coastalvanguard.org and a related research portal at research.coastalvanguard.org. This policy describes the personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information we collect.
We collect three categories of information:
- Information you provide. When you submit the contact form, subscribe to the insights newsletter, or apply for a role, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email, company, role, and the content of your message.
- Information from your use of the site. We collect log information (IP address, browser type, pages visited) and use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used. See the Cookies page for details.
- Information from third parties. We use third-party services (analytics, advertising) that may collect information about your use of the site. See the Cookies page for the list of services and the choices you have.
3. How we use the information.
We use the information to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site and the firm’s services.
- Send you communications you have opted in to (e.g., the insights newsletter).
- Measure the performance of the site and our advertising.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties except as described in this policy or as required by law.
4. Your choices.
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information.
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time.
- Disable cookies through your browser settings.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@coastalvanguard.org.
5. Data retention.
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the services you have requested, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Contact form submissions are retained for 24 months unless you request earlier deletion.
6. Security.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet, however, is 100% secure. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
7. Changes to this policy.
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by email.
