Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Emergency Response Security Group ("ERSG," "we," "our," or "us"), a trade name of Electric Consulting LLC, is committed to protecting personal information, maintaining confidentiality, and respecting individual privacy rights.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, retain, protect, and disclose information through our websites, communications, professional services, and business operations.

ERSG does not sell, rent, or lease personal information to data brokers or third parties for monetary compensation. We do not intentionally disclose personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through ERSG-operated websites, online communications, consultation requests, employment inquiries, and professional cybersecurity services (collectively, the "Services").

Professional engagements may also be governed by separate confidentiality agreements, data processing agreements, statements of work, or contractual privacy provisions.

Where a separate executed agreement establishes additional confidentiality or data protection obligations, those obligations remain applicable to the relevant engagement.

2. Information We Collect

ERSG collects information reasonably necessary to operate its business, respond to inquiries, deliver professional services, maintain security, and satisfy applicable legal obligations.

2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact information: Names, email addresses, telephone numbers, organizational affiliations, and professional contact details.
• Business inquiries: Consultation requests, service descriptions, correspondence, and information submitted during prospective client discussions.
• Client information: Records, technical documentation, system information, incident descriptions, and materials necessary to perform authorized professional services.
• Employment inquiries: Résumés, professional qualifications, employment history, certifications, and other information voluntarily submitted for future career consideration.
• Billing information: Business contact information, invoices, payment records, and transaction details necessary for financial administration.
• Communications: Emails, support inquiries, correspondence, and other information you choose to provide.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access our websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure, security systems, or configured analytics services.

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
• Browser type, operating system, and device characteristics.
• Requested pages, referring websites, and access timestamps.
• Server logs, error records, and security-related events.
• Website interaction and usage information collected through configured analytics technologies.
• Cookies or similar technologies used for website functionality, security, or analytics, where enabled.

2.3 Digital Forensic and Investigative Information

Authorized cybersecurity and digital forensic engagements may involve the collection, examination, processing, and preservation of information contained within devices, networks, applications, cloud environments, communications, or other evidence sources.

Depending on the engagement, this information may include:

• System logs, network records, and security telemetry.
• Device images, files, metadata, and forensic artifacts.
• Account identifiers, authentication events, and access records.
• Emails, communications, and related technical metadata.
• Information concerning suspected unauthorized activity or security incidents.
• Personal information relating to clients, employees, witnesses, victims, suspects, or other individuals appearing within authorized evidence sources.

Such information is processed for legitimate, authorized investigative purposes and in accordance with applicable laws, professional obligations, and contractual requirements.

2.4 Sensitive Personal Information

ERSG does not request sensitive personal information through general website inquiries unless reasonably necessary for a specific legitimate purpose.

Professional investigations may nevertheless involve sensitive information contained within authorized evidence sources, including financial records, identity information, health-related records, or other confidential materials.

Where sensitive information is processed, ERSG applies safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the applicable engagement requirements.

3. How We Use Information

ERSG may process information for the following purposes:

1. Operating, maintaining, and securing our websites and business infrastructure.
2. Responding to inquiries and evaluating prospective professional engagements.
3. Delivering authorized cybersecurity, digital forensic, incident response, and technical advisory services.
4. Preserving, examining, and documenting digital evidence.
5. Preparing professional reports, technical findings, and engagement deliverables.
6. Maintaining business records, invoices, and contractual documentation.
7. Evaluating voluntarily submitted résumés for suitable future employment or contracting opportunities.
8. Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats.
9. Maintaining operational quality and improving our Services.
10. Complying with applicable legal obligations and responding to legally binding requests.

4. No Sale of Personal Information

ERSG does not sell, rent, or lease personal information to data brokers, advertisers, or third parties for monetary compensation.

We do not intentionally use client evidence, confidential investigative materials, or employment submissions for third-party advertising or commercial data brokerage.

Information may be disclosed to authorized service providers where necessary for legitimate business operations, subject to applicable contractual and legal safeguards.

Because certain privacy laws define "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than monetary transactions, ERSG evaluates its use of analytics and third-party technologies against applicable legal requirements.

5. Disclosure of Information

ERSG may disclose information under the following circumstances:

• Authorized service providers: Hosting providers, communication platforms, payment processors, technical vendors, and other providers performing services on our behalf.
• Professional engagements: Authorized clients, legal representatives, technical specialists, or other designated recipients where disclosure is necessary to fulfill an engagement.
• Legal obligations: Valid subpoenas, warrants, court orders, and other legally binding requirements.
• Security and fraud prevention: Disclosures reasonably necessary to investigate or address security threats, unlawful conduct, or misuse of our Services, where legally permitted.
• With authorization: Other disclosures made with appropriate consent or lawful authorization.

ERSG does not disclose confidential investigative information merely because an outside party requests it. Requests are evaluated according to applicable law, contractual confidentiality obligations, and available legal protections.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

Our websites may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, security, performance monitoring, and analytics.

6.1 Essential Technologies

Essential technologies may support website operation, security, session management, and protection against malicious activity.

6.2 Website Analytics

ERSG uses Google Analytics on certain website pages to understand general website traffic, visitor interactions, and technical performance.

Depending on configuration and applicable consent settings, analytics technologies may collect information such as page views, approximate geographic information, device characteristics, browser information, and interaction events.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers. Information processed by Google is also subject to Google's applicable privacy terms and data processing practices.

For additional information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

6.3 Your Choices

You may manage cookies through your browser settings and use available privacy controls or browser extensions to limit tracking technologies.

Where applicable law requires consent before nonessential analytics or tracking technologies are activated, ERSG will implement the necessary consent controls.

Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality or measurement capabilities.

7. Data Retention

ERSG retains information for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, maintain business records, protect legitimate interests, and satisfy contractual or evidentiary requirements.

7.1 Client and Investigative Records

Professional engagement records, investigative documentation, forensic evidence, and associated materials may be retained according to applicable agreements, legal obligations, preservation requirements, and legitimate investigative needs.

Evidence subject to litigation holds, legal proceedings, regulatory obligations, or other preservation requirements may be retained beyond ordinary operational periods.

7.2 Employment and Résumé Submissions

ERSG may retain voluntarily submitted résumés, professional qualifications, and related correspondence for consideration when future employment or contracting opportunities arise that align with an individual's qualifications.

Prospective candidates may request deletion of their information by contacting careers@ersecurity.com, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate retention requirements.

ERSG periodically evaluates retained candidate information to determine whether continued storage remains appropriate.

7.3 Website and Operational Records

Website logs, security records, analytics information, and routine operational data are retained according to their purpose, configured retention periods, and applicable legal requirements.

8. Data Security

ERSG employs administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and misuse.

Depending on the systems and engagement requirements, safeguards may include access restrictions, encryption, authentication controls, secure storage, logging, and documented evidence-handling procedures.

Although ERSG specializes in cybersecurity, no information system, transmission method, or security architecture can be guaranteed completely secure.

Individuals submitting sensitive information should use designated secure communication or evidence-transfer methods when provided.

9. International Data Transfers

ERSG primarily operates within the United States. Certain service providers, communications platforms, or technical infrastructure may process information in other jurisdictions.

Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers, ERSG will use appropriate legal and contractual mechanisms, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognized transfer arrangements.

10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, the nature of the information, and applicable legal exemptions, you may have rights to:

• Request confirmation of whether personal information is being processed.
• Access or obtain a copy of certain personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of eligible personal information.
• Restrict or object to certain processing activities.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Request information concerning certain disclosures or categories of recipients.
• Exercise other rights available under applicable privacy legislation.

These rights may be subject to limitations involving legal obligations, confidentiality, evidence preservation, security investigations, litigation holds, or the rights of other individuals.

ERSG will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

10.1 Submitting a Privacy Request

To submit a privacy request, contact dpo@ersecurity.com.

ERSG may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and authority before fulfilling a request involving personal information.

Requests will be evaluated and addressed within timeframes required by applicable law.

11. Children's Privacy

ERSG's general business Services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through our public websites.

Authorized professional investigations or victim-support activities may involve information concerning minors where legally appropriate and necessary for the engagement.

Such information is handled according to applicable laws, confidentiality requirements, and appropriate safeguards.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to ERSG without appropriate authorization, please contact dpo@ersecurity.com.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

ERSG websites may contain links to external websites, scheduling platforms, professional networks, payment processors, or other independent services.

These third parties maintain their own privacy policies and data processing practices.

ERSG is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the applicable policies before submitting personal information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

ERSG may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our business operations, technology, professional services, or applicable legal requirements.

Revised policies will be published with an updated effective date. Where legally required, material changes will be accompanied by additional notice or consent procedures.
