Privacy Policy
Welcome
Consilio LLC and all affiliated companies entities, (“Consilio”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) understand that privacy is important and that you consider carefully how your Personal Data, defined in the “Information Collection” section below, is used and shared. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who interacts with us and will only collect and use Personal Data in ways that are described in this Privacy Notice (“Notice”), and in a manner that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law.

This Notice also applies to Personal Data that is collected or processed when you interact with us in-person, by telephone, or by mail.
Consilio may have other unique privacy notices that apply to certain specific situations, such as privacy notices for specific Products and Services in various specific circumstances. To the extent you were provided with a different privacy policy or notice, and those policies or notices apply, those policies or notices will govern our interactions with you, not this one.

Consilio entities are a data processor for the services we provide to clients. In some cases Consilio entities may also be a data controller, this may include (but it is not limited to) for employee data, recruitment data and business admin tasks.

A cookie is a small piece of data (a unique numeric code) sent from a website or application and stored on a user’s device while the user is browsing the website or using the application. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like identifying previous activity so that your use of the Product or Service is more efficient and enjoyable, remembering your preferences (like language choices), and authenticating you.
Common uses for cookies include:
- identifying users who have signed into a Product or Service to avoid users having to submit a user name and password repeatedly;
- keeping track of users’ preferences regarding the content they would like to see and the format in which they would like to view it so they do not need to resubmit preferences;
- keeping track of which pages users’ request to make improvements to site content and navigation;
- engaging in analytics about how the Products or Services are used; and
- collecting information about users’ activities over time and across different websites or applications while using the website or application.
Web beacons (also known as internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs) are small pieces of code that may be placed on our websites or other Products and Services that allow us to obtain information about usage. Web beacons cannot identify you as an individual and are used to help display content to visitors and to generate statistics regarding web traffic and trends.
If you would like to opt-out or withdraw consent to use non-essential cookies and related technologies, you can set your web browser to prevent the use of cookies from Consilio websites, as well as other websites that you may visit (see www.aboutcookies.org for more information on how to do this). If you do so, you can still use Consilio Products and Services, but it is possible that some portions of the Products and Services will not function properly or may perform more slowly.

Safeguarding Information
Data security is extremely important to us, and we have taken suitable technical and organisational measures to safeguard and secure any Personal Data we collect, including:
- Consilio is certified for the ISO\IEC 27001:2013 standard and HITRUST CSF V9.3, and meets all of their stringent requirements to appropriately handle sensitive data. All of Consilio’s colocated data centers are certified for either ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2. Consilio complies with ITAR regulations, EU-US and Swiss-US EU-US Data Privacy Framework principles (still applicable in the US), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and many other data privacy regulations across the globe. Consilio’s data center and office locations in the UK are also certified for the Cyber Essentials Plus scheme.
- As required by our ISO 27001 certification, Consilio maintains overarching security policies and procedures that standardize our security posture across all our global locations. Enterprise information security policies and procedures are properly reviewed by management and provided to Consilio personnel. Consilio’s chief information security officer heads our highly qualified information security team, which manages all of the organization’s information security activities.
- Risk management is part of Consilio’s holistic approach to security. As part of Consilio’s vendor management program, all of our vendors must be vetted to ensure they do not pose unnecessary security risks to Consilio or our clients. Consilio’s computing networks are set up with a DMZ and multiple firewalls to separate internet-accessible network segments from sensitive data storage segments. Our networks are protected by stringent firewalls, third-party monitoring services, intrusion detection and prevention software, antivirus software, and strict access control policies
- Consilio’s privacy policies and practices follow and often exceed international best practices for data security. Our enterprise privacy structures and policies ensure that we meet the requirements of international and local privacy regulations, based on the location of each project and data. These include regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, ITAR, CCPA, and others like it.
- All Consilio employees and contractors must complete background screening before being hired.
- Consilio’s policies for handling internal and client data ensure that data and devices are stored securely and protected from unauthorized access while in Consilio’s possession. All client data is treated as confidential, whether the data includes personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI) or simply non-public information.
- Consilio’s incident management policy ensures that we take proactive measures to prevent and report security incidents and mitigate their effects.
- Consilio’s vendor risk assessment policy requires that Consilio vendors and third-party suppliers be properly vetted and approved before engaging in work for Consilio and periodically undergo security audits by Consilio.
- Consilio’s disaster recovery and business continuity policies require that Consilio prepare for disaster scenarios that could disrupt business operations at our data centers or offices. Plans cover events such as natural disasters, pandemic scenarios, utility disruptions, personnel shortages, and other events that could affect staffing or business resources.
- Consilio’s data backup policy requires that we perform a combination of data replication, daily incremental backups, and weekly full backups of critical data.

CA Privacy Request Form
If you are concerned about how your Personal Data is used, please email us at privacy@consilio.com You may also have the right to lodge a complaint against us. To do so, contact your local data protection authority (if one exists in your jurisdiction).
Transfer of Personal Data Across National Borders
Consilio is a global company with its headquarters located in the United States. Sharing data across borders may be essential in providing you our Products and Services, and as a result, your Personal Data may be collected, transferred to, and stored by us and our affiliates outside your jurisdiction, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and in countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.
We will, subject to applicable law, rely upon legally permitted data transfer mechanisms in order to transfer, process and store your Personal Data in a jurisdiction outside of your home jurisdiction. We ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data offers an adequate level of data protection and security. For instance, for transfers of Personal Data originating from the EU, we may rely on adequacy decisions of the European Commission where available, on the Standard Contractual Clauses and other data protection clauses, intra-company data protection agreements entered into among our affiliates, or derogations for specific situations as set forth in Articles 46 and 49 of the GDPR, such as your explicit consent to such transfer; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfil a compelling legitimate interest of the Company in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. We also rely upon the UK Standard Contractual Clauses and an Inter-Company Transfer Agreement where appropriate.
Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals
We do not track website visitors over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.
When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email or home address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email or home addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout
California
California residents are entitled to contact us to request information about whether we have disclosed Personal Data to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Under the California “Shine the Light” law, California residents may opt-out of our disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. You may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your Personal Data with third parties for marketing purposes. To make such a request you should send (a) an email to privacy@consilio.com with the subject heading “California Privacy Rights”. In your request, please attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California privacy rights requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted to addresses other than the addresses specified in this paragraph.
United Kingdom/EEA
We do not process Client Personal Data for marketing purposes. We may use business contact information to provide you with information on other services that may be of use to you. If you wish to opt-out of these communications please email privacy@consilio.com
