PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy by design: useful intelligence without turning your environment into our data.

CyberDeltaForce follows a data-minimization approach. Reading the publication does not require an account. My Environment and The Delta are designed to keep their profile, optional environment context, match baseline and last-visit intelligence state in your own browser rather than sending that information to CyberDeltaForce.

My Environment stays in your browser

When you use My Environment, the technology names you select or enter are stored in browser local storage on the device and browser you are using. Optional version and exposure details, such as whether a technology is internet-facing, internal or unknown, are also stored locally in that browser. The CyberDeltaForce Environment Lens reads this local information in the browser to compare it with technology mentioned in CyberDeltaForce articles.

The personalized match feed can also keep a local baseline of previously matched article identifiers and evidence fingerprints so that a later visit can show a new match or updated intelligence. That comparison baseline stays in browser local storage with the environment profile.

CyberDeltaForce does not upload or store the My Environment technology profile, optional version/exposure context or local match baseline on our servers. We do not sell them, use them for advertising, create advertising audiences from them, or use them for product promotion. Clearing the profile or clearing the browser's local site data removes the locally saved information.

A technology match is informational. It does not prove that an organization is vulnerable or exposed; readers should validate affected version, configuration, reachability, controls and other conditions described in the underlying intelligence.

My Environment currently uses manual entry only. Environment inventories, scanner exports, CMDB files and similar organization datasets are not accepted by this browser-local feature.

The Delta stays in your browser

The Delta can remember the last intelligence state you viewed for an article, and the Environment Lens can remember a local match baseline, so that later visits can highlight material changes such as exploitation status, additional corroboration, new references, expanded attack-path detail, newly matching intelligence or changed evidence.

Those last-viewed snapshots and comparison baselines are stored in browser local storage. CyberDeltaForce does not upload them to our servers and does not use them for advertising or product promotion. If browser storage is unavailable or disabled, the publication remains usable and Delta comparisons simply cannot persist a previous baseline.

What CyberDeltaForce does not intentionally collect

CyberDeltaForce does not ask readers to provide an email address, telephone number, postal address, date of birth, social-media identity or other personal profile information simply to read the publication.

CyberDeltaForce does not currently operate newsletter sign-up forms, WhatsApp subscriptions, reader accounts, comments, advertising profiles or social-media tracking widgets. We do not sell reader personal information or build behavioral advertising profiles.

Technical website delivery and security data

Like any website delivered through hosting, content-delivery and security infrastructure, a request for a CyberDeltaForce page can involve technical information such as an IP address, request time, requested URL, browser or user-agent information and network/security events. This information may be processed by the infrastructure used to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the service.

CyberDeltaForce does not use normal infrastructure request logs to create reader profiles or for targeted advertising. Where hosting or security providers process technical data on our behalf, their infrastructure and contractual privacy terms also apply.

Cookies and browser storage

The CyberDeltaForce application is designed not to set non-essential advertising, marketing or social-tracking cookies. My Environment and The Delta use browser local storage for the local-only profile, optional version/exposure context, matching and change-comparison functionality described above; that storage is not used as an advertising identifier.

Strictly necessary technical storage may also be used by hosting or security infrastructure where required to deliver or protect the service. See the separate Cookies Policy for the current position and the rule we will follow before any optional tracking technology is introduced.

External links

CyberDeltaForce articles may link to government agencies, vendors, researchers, publishers and other external websites in the Sources & References section. When you leave CyberDeltaForce, the destination site's own privacy, cookie and logging practices apply.

No hidden expansion of data use

If CyberDeltaForce later introduces server-side accounts, telemetry connectors, analytics, advertising, email delivery, messaging subscriptions, comments or other features that intentionally process additional reader or organization data, we will review the privacy impact first and update the relevant notices and user choices before the feature is represented as active.

A future connector or data-import capability will not silently inherit the browser-local privacy model. Any feature that sends organization data to CyberDeltaForce or another service must state what is transmitted, why it is needed, how it is protected and how it can be removed before that feature is enabled.

Policy review

This policy describes the intended current configuration of CyberDeltaForce. It is not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific legal advice. The publication should be reviewed again before adding any feature that materially changes how personal or organizational data is collected, stored, shared or used.
