These measures include HTTPS/TLS encryption for all web traffic, access controls limiting personal data access to authorized personnel, and third-party payment processing through PCI-DSS compliant providers.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a security breach that is reasonably likely to cause harm to individuals whose personal information we hold, we will notify affected Maryland residents and other affected individuals as required by the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act, Md. Code, Com. Law § 14-3504, and other applicable state and federal breach notification laws. Notification will be provided without unreasonable delay to the email address on file or by substitute notice as permitted by law.

9. Children's Privacy
Our services are directed to business professionals and organizations, not to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact privacy@cyberpolicypros.net and we will promptly delete it.
10. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including Jotform, Stripe, and other services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
10A. CAN-SPAM, Do Not Track, and Accessibility
Email Communications
When CyberPolicyPros sends you commercial or marketing email communications, each message will include an unsubscribe mechanism. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting privacy@cyberpolicypros.net with the subject line "Email Opt-Out." Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails related to your purchases, such as order confirmations, delivery notices, and subscription renewal reminders.
In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.), all commercial email from CyberPolicyPros will identify CyberPolicyPros LLC as the sender, include our physical postal address (15503 Brinton Way, Brandywine, MD 20613), and honor opt-out requests within ten (10) business days.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals to websites. CyberPolicyPros does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because no industry-wide standard for honoring such signals has been established. We will reassess this position as standards develop. This disclosure satisfies the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575.
Accessibility
CyberPolicyPros is committed to making our website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We work toward conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. If you experience difficulty accessing any content on cyberpolicypros.net or require information in an accessible format, please contact us at support@cyberpolicypros.net and we will make reasonable accommodations. We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our site.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy at cyberpolicypros.net/privacy-policy/ with a new "Last Updated" date and provide notice by email to customers with active accounts or subscriptions.
