Privacy Policy for HarrisonAIX

1. Introduction

Welcome to harrisonaix.com (the "Website"), owned and operated by Harrison Research and Innovation LLC ("HarrisonAIX," "we," "us," or "our"). We are dedicated to safeguarding the privacy, confidentiality, and security of all website visitors, prospective partners, and enterprise clients ("you," "your").

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, protect, and handle your information when you visit our Website, schedule strategic consultations, utilize interactive benchmarking tools, or engage our enterprise AI engineering and advisory services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information strictly necessary to provide our intelligence, facilitate strategic inquiries, and ensure reliable site operations:

A. Information You Provide Directly:

• Consultation & Contact Details: When you book a strategic consultation via our Cal.com booking embed or submit an inquiry, we collect your name, business email address, organization name, job title, phone number, and details regarding your technical or business requirements.
• Client Engagement Information: For enterprise clients entering advisory or engineering partnerships, we collect project specifications, architectural preferences, and administrative contact information. Commercial payments are processed through certified, PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways; HarrisonAIX does not directly store sensitive credit card numbers.

B. Information Collected Automatically:

• Operational & Security Telemetry: In cooperation with our CDN and security infrastructure (Cloudflare), we automatically record basic HTTP request parameters including IP addresses, browser user agent, referring URLs, timestamp, and device operating system to protect against DDoS attacks and malicious traffic.
• Aggregated Analytics: We employ Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization to evaluate high-level site traffic patterns, popular research articles, and navigation flows. We do not use invasive cross-site tracking or sell audience profiles to third-party ad brokers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process collected data exclusively for legitimate business purposes:

• Delivering, maintaining, and optimizing the Website's performance and accessibility.
• Responding to executive inquiries and coordinating strategy sessions via Cal.com.
• Delivering bespoke enterprise AI consulting, architecture design, and Private AI feasibility evaluations.
• Publishing independent benchmarking reports, vendor evaluations, and technical research.
• Ensuring technical network security, preventing fraud, and mitigating automated denial-of-service threats.
• Fulfilling legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service.

4. Private AI & Client Confidentiality Guarantee

A cornerstone of HarrisonAIX's enterprise engineering practice is Private AI. We adhere to strict data segregation and protection principles:

• No Public Model Training: Your business information, code snippets, strategic challenges, and consulting communications are never contributed to training pools for commercial or open-weight foundational models.
• Isolated Workloads: Custom AI applications, RAG pipelines, and agent systems designed for our clients are deployed within the client's dedicated cloud tenants (VPC), private instances, or on-premises enclaves.
• Strict Non-Disclosure: All sensitive technical discovery and architectural discussions are governed by bilateral enterprise Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs).

5. Disclosure of Information

HarrisonAIX does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We disclose information only under the following controlled circumstances:

• Vetted Infrastructure Providers: Trusted third-party vendors that provide core infrastructure (Cloudflare edge routing, Google Analytics telemetry, and Cal.com appointment scheduling). These vendors access data solely to perform specified services under contractual confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Compliance: When required by enforceable court subpoena, law enforcement mandate, or applicable statutory obligations.
• Business Transactions: In connection with any merger, corporate reorganization, or asset sale, with written notification provided prior to any change in data governing authority.

6. Data Security & Storage

We implement comprehensive organizational and technical security measures matching industry standards:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3) encryption for all data in transit across the Website.
• Modern encryption at rest (AES-256) for stored communications and operational files.
• Strict role-based least-privilege access controls and multi-factor authentication across all systems.
• Continuous edge-level threat monitoring, web application firewall (WAF) filtering, and rate-limiting.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, support our active client relationships, comply with tax and statutory requirements, or resolve disputes. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, permanently purged, or fully anonymized.

8. Your Global Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area under GDPR, the United Kingdom, Canada under PIPEDA, and U.S. states under CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, and CPA), you possess specific legal rights regarding your personal information:

• Right of Access & Portability: Request confirmation and an exportable copy of your personal data.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data, subject to statutory exceptions.
• Right to Restrict or Object: Restrict or object to the processing of your data for direct communications.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Revoke consent at any time without retroactive impact on prior lawful processing.
• Non-Discrimination: We never discriminate against you for exercising any statutory privacy rights.

To exercise your privacy rights, please submit a request to [email protected]. We verify and fulfill verified requests within statutory timeframes (typically 30 days).

9. Cookies & Browser Management

We utilize strictly necessary cookies for site security and optional analytical cookies for aggregate traffic measurement. You can adjust your cookie settings or block cookies at any time through your browser's preferences. Note that disabling essential security cookies may impact site navigation and interactive scheduling tools.
