Scope and applicability
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Digital Services. It does not apply to information we process on behalf of our clients in the course of professional engagements (e.g., managing a client’s cloud infrastructure or performing an on-prem migration). Such data is protected by specific confidentiality agreements, Master Service Agreements (MSAs), and Statements of Work (SOWs) that govern the professional relationship.
You may access and use our Platform in a variety of ways, including through a computer, mobile device, or other connected technologies. This Policy applies regardless of how you access, use, or interact with the Platform.
Depending on how you interact with the Platform, we may provide additional information regarding how we collect, use, protect, or disclose your Personal Data. Such information may appear in notices on the Platform or in direct communications with you and will supplement this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated.
Please read this Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Data as described in this Policy, please do not use the Platform or provide Personal Data to us.
By accessing or using the Platform, or by providing Personal Data to us directly or through a third party, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Data may be used as described in this Policy.

Communications and can-spam compliance
When you provide your email address, we may send you technical alerts and promotional communications. In strict compliance with the federal CAN-SPAM Act, all commercial emails from us will clearly identify the message as an advertisement, provide our valid physical postal address, and include a clear and conspicuous method to opt out of receiving future emails. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the “unsubscribe” instructions contained in the email.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information. In alignment with applicable state and federal regulations, NORTH41 maintains a comprehensive written information security program designed to substantially comply with industry-recognized cybersecurity frameworks (such as NIST or CIS) to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of your data.
• Network Limitation: Please note that no system is 100% secure. NORTH41 is not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we do not control, including the open Internet.
• Retention: We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations.
Children’s privacy
Our Digital Services are intended for a general, professional audience and are not directed to children. In compliance with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will promptly delete such information from our systems.
