 Who We Are

 Our website address is: https://dcsecuritysolutions.com. DC Security Solutions is an independent cybersecurity consulting practice operated by Derek Creason.                                                                     

 What Personal Data We Collect and Why                                                                                                                                                                                             

 Contact Form                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 When you submit a message through our Contact Us page, we collect the information you provide in the form, which may include your name, email address, and message content. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry.  

 Contact form submissions are delivered via email and stored within our WordPress site’s form plugin (WPForms) for record-keeping purposes.                                                                                        

 We do not use this data for marketing, sell it to third parties, or add you to any mailing list.                                                                                                                                  

 Cookies                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 This site uses cookies that are part of the WordPress platform:                                                                                                                                                                   

   This site uses cookies that are part of the WordPress platform and its plugins:

– WordPress session cookies: A temporary cookie may be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

– Login cookies (admin only): When an administrator logs in, cookies are set for login information and display preferences. These last for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected) and are removed on logout.

– SEO plugin cookies: The All in One SEO plugin may set cookies related to site optimization functionality. These do not track individual visitors or collect personal data.

No tracking or advertising cookies are set for general visitors.                                                                                                                        

 Embedded Content                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

 Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, links). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited that website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use       

 cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content.                                                                                                                                                                         

 Analytics                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

This site uses the All in One SEO (AIOSEO) plugin for search engine optimization, including generating sitemaps, managing meta tags, and providing structured data (schema markup). AIOSEO may collect anonymous, aggregated site

performance data to provide SEO recommendations within the WordPress dashboard. No personally identifiable visitor information is collected by this plugin.

If Google Analytics or a similar analytics service is connected through AIOSEO in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect what data is collected and how it is used.                                                                                                                                                       

 Who We Share Your Data With                                                                                                                                                                                                       

 We do not share your personal data with any third parties. Contact form submissions are transmitted via SMTP to our email and are not shared with external services beyond what is necessary for email delivery.                  

 How Long We Retain Your Data                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 Contact form submissions are retained for the duration needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry. You may request deletion of your data at any time.                                                                          

 What Rights You Have Over Your Data
