Crawford Partners ("Crawford Partners," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent advisory firm based in Alexandria, Virginia. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through crawfordpartners.com (the "Site"), our newsletters, and our client and business communications, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using the Site or subscribing to our publications, you agree to the practices described here.
We collect information you choose to provide, including when you subscribe to a newsletter or update list, request a meeting or a call, complete a form, or email or otherwise contact us. This typically includes your name, email address, employer or organization, job title, and anything else you include in your message.
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and settings, device type and operating system, referring and exit pages, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this information through cookies and similar technologies.
We may receive business contact information about you from our clients, from professional networks, from public records and government filings, from conference and event organizers, and from commercial data providers, and we may combine it with information we already hold.
We do not seek to collect sensitive categories of personal information through the Site, and we ask that you not send us such information through Site forms.
Where the laws of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom apply, we process personal information on the basis of your consent (for marketing communications, which you may withdraw at any time), our legitimate interests in operating and promoting our business and securing the Site, the performance of a contract with you or your organization, and compliance with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We disclose personal information to:
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the Site to function, that remember your preferences, and that help us understand how the Site is used. Our analytics providers may set their own cookies and receive information about your visit.
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site work. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on Google provides at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The Site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.
Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect promptly. We may still send you administrative or transactional messages relating to an engagement, a meeting you requested, or this Policy.
We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described above, which generally means for the duration of our relationship with you or your organization and for a reasonable period afterward, and longer where a legal, regulatory, professional, or recordkeeping obligation requires it. Subscriber information is kept until you unsubscribe, and for a short period afterward to honor your opt-out.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including access controls and encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request that it be corrected or deleted, to obtain a copy in a portable format, to opt out of certain processing, and to appeal a decision we make about your request. Residents of Virginia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, and a number of other states have these or similar rights under state privacy law, as do individuals in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
To exercise a right, email us at the address below. We will verify your request before acting on it, and we will not discriminate against you for making one. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our response; if your appeal is denied, Virginia residents may contact the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia.
The Site links to sites we do not control, including our social media profiles, our scheduling tool, and sources cited in our publications. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.
We are based in the United States and process information here. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
The Site is intended for business use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of the page, and we will provide additional notice where the law requires it.
