Privacy Policy

Cost Plus Technologies ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website costplustechnologies.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have regarding your data.

This is a satirical website. We are not a real defense contractor. We do not manufacture weapons, operate surveillance infrastructure, or possess classified information about you — despite the aesthetic suggesting otherwise.

Information You Provide Directly

If you submit a form on the Site (e.g., the Contact page or job application inquiries), we may collect your name, email address, and any message content you choose to send.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically via standard web technologies, including:

• IP address and approximate geographic location (country/region)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL (how you arrived at the Site)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for analytics purposes. These may include first-party cookies set by our analytics provider (Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics) and third-party advertising cookies if Google AdSense is active on the Site.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of the Site may not function correctly if you do so.

We use the information collected to:

• Operate and improve the Site
• Respond to inquiries submitted via contact forms
• Analyze site traffic and user behavior to improve content
• Serve relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data to build individual profiles for targeted advertising beyond what is handled by Google AdSense on our behalf.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data with the following categories of third parties:

• Google LLC — for analytics (Google Analytics / Firebase) and advertising (Google AdSense). Google's privacy policy governs their use of this data: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta Platforms — we operate social media accounts on Threads and Instagram. Any interactions you have with those accounts are governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers (Firebase / Google Cloud) who process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements.

We may also disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal process.

Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of Google Analytics (up to 26 months).

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data
• Right to restrict processing — request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to opt out of sale — we do not sell personal data, so this right is inherently satisfied

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 30 days).

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). EU/EEA residents have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms and external references. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
