Google reCAPTCHA
RightSEM uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect website forms from spam, automated submissions, and abusive activity.
When reCAPTCHA operates, technical and interaction information may be transmitted to Google for security verification. Depending on the implementation, this information may include IP addresses, browser and device characteristics, and interaction signals used to distinguish legitimate users from automated activity.
Google processes reCAPTCHA customer data under applicable Google Cloud service and data-processing terms.
RightSEM uses reCAPTCHA for website security and abuse prevention, not as an advertising or website analytics service.
Analytics and Advertising Providers
RightSEM may use third-party analytics or advertising technologies where configured and permitted by applicable law.
Nonessential tracking technologies are subject to our consent controls. Our use of such technologies may change, and applicable disclosures will be updated accordingly.
Whether a particular disclosure constitutes a statutory sale or sharing of personal information depends on applicable law and the processing involved.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with applicable legal obligations, and satisfy contractual requirements.
For most client engagement data, RightSEM generally retains relevant records for up to 12 months following service termination unless otherwise agreed or required.
Certain information, including contracts, invoices, accounting records, and information subject to legal preservation obligations, may be retained longer.
Website security records, operational logs, and consent preferences may be retained according to applicable operational needs, documented retention practices, and legal requirements.

No internet-based service or data storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
RightSEM uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, protect website services, remember visitor preferences, and, where authorized, analyze website activity.
Essential Cookies and Technologies
Certain technologies support website functionality, security, and the operation of privacy preferences.
These may include technologies used for maintaining consent choices, delivering website functionality, preventing abuse, and protecting website forms.
Essential technologies may operate without optional analytics consent where permitted by applicable law.
Analytics Cookies and Technologies
RightSEM may use Google Analytics or similar technologies to measure website usage and improve website performance.
Nonessential analytics technologies are configured to require affirmative consent before activation.
Marketing and Advertising Technologies
RightSEM may use advertising or conversion-measurement technologies where appropriate.
Nonessential marketing and advertising tracking is subject to applicable consent requirements and our website’s consent controls.
Google reCAPTCHA
Our contact forms use Google reCAPTCHA to help distinguish legitimate human submissions from automated activity.
This technology is used for security and spam prevention and may operate independently of optional analytics and marketing consent.
Consent Management
RightSEM uses Complianz to manage visitor preferences for nonessential cookies and tracking technologies.
Visitors can accept, deny, or customize optional processing through the website’s consent interface.
Where optional consent is required, choosing not to consent does not activate the corresponding nonessential tracking technologies.
You may revisit your privacy choices using the consent management controls available on our website.
Withdrawing consent prevents the corresponding optional tracking from continuing, but does not necessarily reverse information processing that occurred before withdrawal.

- Request correction of inaccurate information.
