6. Government Contracting and Business Information

Palmore & Company may collect, review, organize, and use business information in connection with government contracting, procurement, proposal development, vendor outreach, subcontractor sourcing, team formation, market research, and delivery of professional services.

Where we handle nonpublic client, vendor, proposal, procurement, financial, or operational information, we will use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the services being provided. However, no system, transmission method, or storage environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Marketing Communications

You may receive marketing or business-development communications from us if you submit an inquiry, request information, register for an event, become a client or business contact, or otherwise interact with us in a manner that permits such communications.

You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by:

Using the “unsubscribe” link in the email, where available.
Contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
Updating communication preferences through an available account, portal, or preference center.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-promotional messages about transactions, services, billing, legal notices, security matters, or an existing business relationship.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device that allow websites to recognize certain information about your visit.

We may use these technologies for:

Essential Site functionality and security.
Remembering preferences and settings.
Understanding Site traffic, performance, and usage patterns.
Improving Site content, user experience, and Services.
Measuring the effectiveness of our communications or marketing campaigns, if applicable.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You may be able to block, delete, or limit cookies, but doing so may affect certain features or functionality of the Site.

If the Site uses third-party analytics, advertising, embedded-video, scheduling, chat, or social-media tools, those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

Provide and improve our Services.
Maintain client, vendor, subcontractor, and business records.
Meet contractual, legal, tax, accounting, audit, insurance, regulatory, and procurement obligations.
Resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
Protect our rights, systems, and business operations.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the sensitivity of the information, the nature of the relationship, legal requirements, and whether the information is necessary for an ongoing or anticipated business purpose.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or securely archive it in accordance with applicable law and our record-retention practices.

10. Security

Palmore & Company uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction.

Our safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, secure communication practices, vendor management, data-minimization practices, system monitoring, and backup procedures, as appropriate to the information and Services involved.

However, no method of transmission over the internet, email, or electronic storage is fully secure. You should use care when transmitting sensitive information online and avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured email unless specifically requested and protected by an appropriate method.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

Authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of an individual where permitted by law. We may require proof of authorization and verification of the individual’s identity before processing an authorized-agent request.

13. Children’s Privacy

15. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may include links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, procurement portals, scheduling services, payment processors, software tools, videos, or other services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third parties.
