Last updated: September 20, 2026

Septiva respects the privacy of visitors to our website and people who communicate with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected or processed when you visit septiva.com, contact Septiva, or otherwise interact with us through this website.

This policy applies to the Septiva public website. Privacy, security, data-handling, and confidentiality requirements for client engagements are addressed separately in the applicable engagement agreement and related project documentation.

1. Information You Choose to Provide

You may choose to provide information to Septiva when you contact us, request a conversation, challenge an existing technology approach, request a Second Opinion, or otherwise communicate with us.

Depending on how you contact us, that information may include:

• your name
• job title or role
• organization
• work email address
• information about a project, proposal, workflow, application, modernization effort, technology decision, or business problem
• other information you choose to include in your message

Please do not submit passwords, authentication credentials, highly sensitive personal information, regulated data, confidential production data, or other information that is not necessary for an initial conversation.

2. Website Forms

Septiva's current website forms validate information in the browser and compose an email to a published Septiva address.

The website does not currently operate a Septiva submission database for these forms.

If you choose to send the resulting email, the information you provide will be transmitted through the applicable email systems and may be retained by Septiva as part of normal business correspondence.

3. Information Processed Automatically

Like most websites, the infrastructure used to deliver septiva.com may process limited technical information necessary to operate, secure, and deliver the website.

Depending on the hosting and network infrastructure involved, this may include information such as:

• Internet Protocol address
• browser and device information
• requested pages or resources
• date and time of requests
• network and security information
• diagnostic or error information

This type of information may be processed by hosting, content-delivery, security, or infrastructure providers in the ordinary operation of the website.

Septiva does not use this website information to build advertising profiles about visitors.

4. Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

Septiva does not currently use third-party analytics, behavioral tracking, or advertising trackers on this website.

Septiva does not use the website to serve targeted advertising.

Septiva does not sell personal information obtained through this website.

Septiva does not share personal information obtained through this website for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If these practices materially change, this Privacy Policy and the applicable disclosures on the website will be updated.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Septiva does not currently use non-essential cookies for advertising or behavioral analytics.

The website's hosting or infrastructure providers may use technical mechanisms that are necessary to deliver, secure, or operate the website.

If Septiva later introduces non-essential cookies, analytics technologies, or advertising technologies, we will update our disclosures and provide any consent mechanisms required by applicable law.

6. How We Use Information

Septiva may use information you choose to provide for legitimate business purposes, including to:

• respond to your inquiry
• evaluate whether a potential engagement may be a fit
• communicate with you about a project, proposal, or technology question
• prepare for discussions you request
• provide requested information
• maintain business correspondence
• protect the security and integrity of our systems
• comply with applicable legal obligations
• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights

We do not use information submitted through the website to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about individuals.

7. How We Disclose Information

Septiva may disclose information when reasonably necessary to operate our business or respond to your request.

This may include disclosure to service providers that support functions such as:

• website hosting
• infrastructure
• email
• security
• information technology
• professional services

Such providers may process information on Septiva's behalf or as otherwise permitted under their applicable terms and legal obligations.

Septiva may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• protect Septiva, our clients, users, or others
• investigate security issues or misuse
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• support a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements

Septiva does not sell personal information obtained through this website.

8. Client Engagements

This Privacy Policy describes the public Septiva website.

Client engagements may involve different systems, data, security requirements, AI-assisted tools, infrastructure, and processing arrangements.

For client work, applicable requirements concerning matters such as:

• data access
• data storage
• confidentiality
• security
• AI-assisted handling
• deployment
• retention
• subprocessors
• ownership
• regulatory requirements

are defined according to the engagement, the client's environment and risk profile, and the applicable agreement.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy overrides a client agreement.

9. AI-Assisted Engineering

Septiva uses AI-assisted engineering tools as part of its delivery model.

The use of AI-assisted tools in client engagements is governed by the requirements applicable to that engagement, including relevant security, confidentiality, data-handling, and client-environment considerations.

Septiva does not represent through this Privacy Policy that client information is automatically submitted to any particular AI system.

Specific AI and data-handling practices should be established for the applicable engagement.

10. Data Retention

Septiva retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or subsequently authorized, including as needed to:

• respond to inquiries
• maintain business records
• manage prospective or actual business relationships
• comply with legal obligations
• resolve disputes
• protect legal rights
• maintain security

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the context in which it was provided.

11. Security

Septiva uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information it handles.

No internet transmission, email system, or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, you should not send sensitive credentials, regulated data, production secrets, or other highly sensitive information through an initial website inquiry unless an appropriate secure method has been established.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the circumstances in which Septiva processes your information, applicable law may provide rights concerning personal information.

These may include rights to request:

• access to personal information
• correction of inaccurate personal information
• deletion of personal information
• information about how personal information is processed
• restriction of or objection to certain processing

These rights are subject to applicable legal requirements, limitations, and exceptions.

13. Children's Privacy

The Septiva website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13.

Septiva does not knowingly use this website to collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to Septiva through this website, contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Septiva website may link to websites or services operated by third parties.

Septiva does not control the privacy, security, or data-handling practices of those third parties.

Their practices are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
