Effective Date: April 20, 2026

At Ictus Solutions, we believe that operational harmony extends to how we handle your data. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit ictus-solutions.com.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://ictus-solutions.com.

Ictus Solutions is an operational consultancy based in the United States.

Contact: For any privacy-related concerns, please reach out to hello@ictus-solutions.com.

Comments

Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Contact Forms

When you submit an inquiry through our WPForms contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any information provided in your message. We collect this data solely to communicate with you regarding your request. We do not use this information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Scheduling

If you book a consultation using our Google Calendar scheduling page, you are providing your information (such as your name and email address) to both Ictus Solutions and Google. We use this information solely to facilitate our meeting. Google’s handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This service collects data such as your anonymized IP address and how you navigate the site, which helps us improve our user experience. To learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Comments & Anti-Spam

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. We use the Antispam Bee plugin for this purpose. Unlike many other services, Antispam Bee is designed to be privacy-compliant; it filters spam locally on our server and does not transmit your personal data to third-party services for analysis.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to provide a better user experience and ensure our site functions correctly. These include:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name and email in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year.

  • Form Functionality: We use WPForms, which may set a temporary cookie to ensure your form submission is processed securely and to prevent spam.

  • Analytics: As mentioned above, Google Analytics sets cookies to help us track site performance. These typically last for two years unless cleared manually.

  • Technical Cookies: Necessary for the website to function (managed by WordPress).

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your data. We only share information with the third-party services necessary to run this site and our business:

  • Hostinger: Our web hosting provider, where site data is stored.

  • Google: For analytics and scheduling services.

  • Akismet: For spam protection on any public interactions.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Inquiries: We retain contact information and correspondence indefinitely to maintain a history of our professional relationship, unless you request its deletion.

  • Project Documentation: We keep specific project records for 2 years following the end of a contract as a backup for your records.

  • Portfolio Assets: Specific project outcomes used for portfolio purposes are retained indefinitely.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have submitted a form or left a comment on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Our website is hosted by Hostinger. Data may be processed on servers located outside of your home country. We ensure our third-party providers adhere to standard data protection practices.

How We Protect Your Data

We take the security of your data seriously. We use encrypted (HTTPS) connections for all site traffic and follow industry-standard practices for managing administrative access to the WordPress dashboard and our hosting environment.
