Privacy Notice
ClearGate Advisory, LLC
ClearGate Advisory, LLC (“ClearGate,” “we,” “us”) operates cleargateadvisory.com as a marketing and intake site for our power and infrastructure readiness advisory services. This Notice explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We keep it short because we have a narrow data footprint: we don’t run ad campaigns, we don’t sell data, and we don’t operate a client portal here.
01 What We Collect
Information you give us. When you contact us — through the form, email, or a careers inquiry — we collect your name, organization, title, email, phone number, and the content of your message. We don’t ask for sensitive personal data (SSNs, financial account numbers, health information) through this Site.
Information collected automatically. Our servers and analytics tools log standard technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on page, and referring URL. IP addresses are anonymized where possible.
What this Site is not. Confidential client materials — due-diligence documents, deal information, project files — are handled under separate engagement agreements, not through this Site. Those agreements govern the handling of such information and supersede this Notice.
02 How We Use It
Respond to your inquiry and determine whether and how we can help.
Deliver our services pursuant to an executed engagement agreement.
Improve the Site — understand how visitors navigate it and fix problems.
Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and yours.
Evaluate collaboration interest from attorneys or other professionals.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We do not use it for behavioral advertising. We do not share it with data brokers or marketing platforms.
03 Sharing & Disclosure
Service providers. We use a small number of vendors (hosting, email, analytics) who process data only on our behalf, under contractual confidentiality obligations.
Engagement collaborators. Licensed attorneys or subject-matter experts engaged on a project basis are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this Notice and your engagement agreement.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information to comply with a valid legal obligation, protect the safety of any person, or protect ClearGate’s rights — and will notify you where permitted before doing so.
Business transfers. If ClearGate is involved in a merger or asset sale, we will notify you before your information becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
04 Retention
Contact and inquiry data is kept for up to 3 years from last contact (or until you request deletion). Engagement-related records are retained for a minimum of 7 years following completion, consistent with professional advisory record-keeping norms. Analytics logs are kept for up to 26 months in anonymized form. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
05 Security
We use encrypted data transmission (TLS), access controls, and periodic security review. No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your interaction with us has been compromised, contact us immediately at cberry@cleargateadvisory.com.
Don’t transmit confidential deal materials through the general contact form. Active and prospective clients should use the secure channels provided by their engagement team.
06 Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To submit a request, contact us at cberry@cleargateadvisory.com. We respond within 30 days of a verifiable request and may ask you to confirm your identity first.
We don’t send marketing emails, so there’s nothing to unsubscribe from. Transactional communications tied to an active engagement cannot be opted out of while that engagement is open.
07 Cookies & Tracking
We use strictly necessary cookies (session management, security) and privacy-respecting analytics cookies (anonymized, no cross-site tracking). We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media trackers. We honor browser-level Do Not Track signals — when DNT is enabled, non-essential scripts won’t load. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings; disabling them may affect some Site functionality.
08 A Few More Things
Third-party links. Links to external sites are governed by those sites’ own privacy policies, not ours.
Children. This Site is directed to business users. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have, contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.
Changes. We’ll update the Effective Date above when we make material changes, and may provide additional notice for significant ones.
