1. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information processed through MITRECaldera.com, including information submitted through our contact form, technical data created when a browser requests a page, and information processed by services that support site operation. It does not govern third-party websites, official Caldera project services, or external platforms linked from our pages.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please stop using the website and do not submit personal information through its forms.
2. Information we may collect
Information you provide
When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, selected topic, message, and any additional information you voluntarily include. Please do not submit passwords, private keys, health or financial records, government identifiers, confidential client data, weaponized code, or information you are not authorized to disclose.
Technical and usage information
Our web server and security systems may automatically process limited technical information such as Internet Protocol address, approximate location derived from that address, browser and device type, requested URL, referring page, request time, response status, and security-event data. This information is generally used to deliver pages, maintain availability, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and understand broad usage patterns.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use essential cookies for functions such as form security, session continuity, preferences, or abuse prevention. If analytics, advertising, or embedded third-party media are enabled, those services may use additional cookies or similar technologies subject to applicable consent requirements. Where required, a consent tool should allow you to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies.
| Category | Examples | Typical purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, email, message | Respond to requests and maintain correspondence |
| Device and log data | IP address, browser, request time, URL | Deliver the site, troubleshoot, secure, and prevent abuse |
| Preference data | Cookie choices or display preferences | Remember choices and respect consent settings |
| Analytics data, if enabled | Page views, sessions, general engagement | Understand aggregate performance and improve content |
3. How we use information
We may process information for the following purposes:
- Operate, deliver, maintain, and improve the website and its content.
- Respond to questions, corrections, privacy requests, and partnership enquiries.
- Protect the website, visitors, and infrastructure from spam, fraud, attacks, and misuse.
- Diagnose errors, monitor availability, and understand aggregate content performance.
- Meet legal obligations, enforce site terms, and establish or defend legal claims.
- Manage advertising or commercial relationships where clearly disclosed and legally permitted.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, processing may be based on your consent, performance of a requested service, our legitimate interest in operating a safe and useful website, or compliance with a legal obligation.
4. When information may be shared
We do not sell contact-form submissions as a list of personal details. We may disclose limited information to service providers that help with hosting, email delivery, security, analytics, backups, content delivery, or site administration. These providers may process information only for the relevant service and under their own contractual and legal obligations.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with a valid legal process, court order, or enforceable government request.
- Investigate fraud, security incidents, prohibited conduct, or threats to rights and safety.
- Protect or enforce our terms, property, legal rights, users, or service providers.
- Complete a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or transfer of website assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We may publish or share aggregate or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.
5. Third-party links and embedded services
Pages may link to official documentation, software repositories, videos, social platforms, research, or other external resources. A third party may receive technical information when you follow a link or load embedded content. Their privacy policies—not this one—govern their collection and use of data.
We encourage you to review third-party privacy and cookie notices before providing information. A link does not mean that we control or accept responsibility for the third party’s security, availability, or privacy practices.
6. Data retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to correspondence, maintain business and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. Retention periods vary according to the type of data, sensitivity, operational need, and applicable obligations.
Contact messages may be retained while the request remains active and for a reasonable record-keeping period afterward. Security logs may be kept for a limited period appropriate to incident detection and investigation. Data may remain temporarily in protected backups until normal backup rotation completes.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to reduce unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Measures may include access restrictions, software updates, encrypted transmission, form validation, anti-spam controls, monitoring, and backups.
Internet transmission and electronic storage cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Do not send highly sensitive information through the contact form or ordinary email.
8. Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. You may also have the right to object to some processing, withdraw consent, receive a portable copy where applicable, or complain to a data protection authority.
To make a request, email contact@buytextlinks.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. Describe the relevant interaction and the action requested. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and prevent unauthorized disclosure. Legal exceptions may limit our ability to fulfill some requests.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings and, when available, the site’s consent controls. Blocking essential cookies may affect form or security features.
9. Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general professional and educational audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. International visitors
Website infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the one in which you live. Those locations may have different privacy laws. Where required, reasonable safeguards should be used for cross-border transfers of personal information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If a change materially affects how previously collected information is used, additional notice or consent will be provided where required.
