Privacy Policy

Rubikon Applied Defense Labs operates this website as an informational and operational interface intended to support secure communications, institutional visibility, and system integrity. The organization approaches data protection as an extension of its broader security and governance obligations rather than as a commercial or marketing function. Accordingly, the processing of information through this website is deliberately limited in scope, purpose, and duration, and is governed by internal controls designed to preserve confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data.

The website does not engage in advertising, marketing analytics, behavioral profiling, or the commercialization of personal data. No personal information is collected for promotional purposes, and no data is sold, licensed, or otherwise distributed for non-operational use. Information processing activities are restricted to what is technically and operationally necessary to maintain secure access, ensure system performance, and respond to communications explicitly initiated by users.

When the website is accessed, certain technical and operational data is processed automatically. This data may include IP addresses, connection metadata, request headers, access timestamps, device and browser characteristics, and system-level event and security logs. The processing of this information is essential for maintaining the security of the website and its underlying infrastructure, enabling threat detection, intrusion prevention, abuse mitigation, performance monitoring, and fault diagnosis. These activities are mandatory for the safe operation of the service and cannot be disabled without compromising system security.

The organization processes such technical data exclusively for security, stability, and operational oversight purposes. No automated decision-making, profiling, or tracking unrelated to system protection is performed. Monitoring mechanisms are implemented using internally managed tools and are configured to minimize data exposure while preserving sufficient visibility to detect and respond to anomalous or malicious activity.

Where users voluntarily initiate contact with Rubikon Applied Defense Labs, including through email correspondence or other direct communication channels, any information provided is processed solely for the purpose of addressing the inquiry, responding to the communication, and managing any related operational, administrative, or security considerations. Contact information is not repurposed for outreach, mailing lists, newsletters, or unsolicited communications, and is not shared with third parties for marketing or promotional use.

The website employs cookies and similar technical mechanisms only to the extent strictly necessary to support security, functionality, and performance. These mechanisms may be used to maintain session integrity, protect against abuse, and ensure reliable delivery of content. The website does not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking technologies, or external analytics platforms. Performance monitoring and security logging are conducted using internal systems under the organization’s direct control. Fonts are provided through Google Fonts, and all video content is hosted locally by the organization without reliance on third-party video delivery services.

Due to the organization’s global operational structure and infrastructure architecture, data processed through the website may be stored or accessed outside the European Union. Such processing is limited to technical, security, and operational data and occurs within controlled environments subject to internal security policies. Data sharing with external entities, where it occurs, is restricted to security-related contexts and does not involve advertising partners, data brokers, or consumer analytics providers.

Information retention practices are governed by operational necessity and security considerations. Technical logs, security events, and system performance data are retained only for the period required to support threat analysis, incident investigation, system auditing, and operational continuity. Data provided through direct communications is retained only as long as necessary to address the matter for which it was submitted, unless extended retention is required for security, compliance, or legal reasons. Data that is no longer required for these purposes is subject to deletion or anonymization in accordance with internal practices.

Rubikon Applied Defense Labs provides a dedicated contact channel for privacy-related inquiries and complaints. Individuals may submit requests concerning data processing, including access, correction, deletion, or objections, to the extent such requests are applicable given the nature of the data processed. All privacy matters, complaints, and related communications are handled directly by the organization. The designated contact for data protection and privacy matters is complaints@rubikonsystems.com, which also serves as the point of contact for the organization’s data protection responsibilities.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in operational practices, security requirements, or regulatory considerations. Any revisions will be published on this page and will apply from the date of publication. Continued use of the website following an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
