Privacy Policy

Effective July 10, 2025

The Capitol Standard ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you provide to us when you visit our website, interact with our content, or communicate with us directly.

1. Information we collect

We collect minimal data, only what’s essential for communication and performance:

  • Voluntary Information: If you contact us directly (via email or forms), we may collect your name, email, and message content.

  • Site Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting tools to understand basic website traffic patterns (e.g., page views, bounce rates) — no invasive tracking or ad-tech here.

  • Technical Data: Your browser type, device, and approximate region may be collected automatically to optimize site performance.

2. How we use your information

We use the data we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries or direct communication

  • Improve site performance and user experience

  • Maintain security and monitor website functionality

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for advertising purposes. Ever.

3. Cookies

Our site may use cookies for basic functionality (like dark mode preferences or session handling), not for ad tracking. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use secure third-party providers to manage communication, publishing, or newsletters. Each provider has its own privacy policy and complies with standard data protection practices.

5. Your Rights

If you reside in a region with data protection laws (like the EU or California), you may have rights to:

  • Access your personal data

  • Request correction or deletion

  • Object to certain types of processing

To exercise these rights, email us directly at: legal@thecapitolstandard.com

6. Security

We use industry-standard security practices and encrypted channels to protect your information. While no system is 100% secure, we take data protection seriously.

7. Policy Updates

This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or firm operations. The effective date at the top will always indicate the latest version.
