Before You Send Us Anything
Do not send export-controlled technical data through this website. We are ITAR registered, and our web forms run on third-party services that are not an approved channel for controlled data. If your inquiry involves ITAR- or EAR-controlled files — Gerbers, schematics, BOMs for a controlled article — contact us first at sales@whizzsystems.com, and we will set up a secure channel.
Your design files are your confidential data, not personal information. How we handle them is governed by your NDA and supply agreement, not by this policy.
What We Collect
When you fill in a form or email us
Your name, business email, phone number, company, job title and whatever you write in your message.
Automatically when you visit
IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time on page, and the site you came from. This comes from Google Analytics 4 and from our host's server logs.
From other sources
Business contact details from colleagues, trade shows, referrals and public professional sources.
If you visit our facilities
Your name, company, host and times of entry and exit. Where a project is export-controlled, we also record citizenship, because US export law requires it. We use that for nothing else.
We do not collect government ID numbers, financial account details, or health information through this website.
Why We Use It
To answer your inquiry and prepare quotes. To manage our relationships with customers and suppliers. To send our newsletter. To run and secure this website. To screen contacts against US restricted-party lists, because export law requires it. To meet our tax, accounting and export recordkeeping obligations.
We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you, and we do not use it to train AI models.
How Long We Keep Things
| What | How Long |
|---|---|
| Inquiries and quotes in our CRM | 7 years from last contact |
| Newsletter contacts | 24 months from your last engagement |
| Unsubscribe records | Kept permanently, so we keep honoring your opt-out |
| Export control records | At least 5 years — US law requires this |
| Website analytics | Google Analytics |
| Facility visitor logs | Min 90 days |
We may keep information longer where we need it for a legal claim or an audit. Export recordkeeping can override a deletion request; if that happens, we will tell you.
Security
We hold ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 certifications and are ITAR registered. We restrict access by role, encrypt data in transit, and control physical access at both facilities.
No internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that anything sent to us over the internet is protected. That is one reason we ask you not to send controlled data through this site.
Your Rights
Email sales@whizzsystems.com or call +1-408-980-0400 to exercise any of these. We will ask for enough information to confirm who you are.
California residents can ask us what we collect, get a copy, correct it, delete it, and opt out of sale or sharing — though we do neither. We will not treat you differently for asking. We acknowledge requests within 10 business days and answer within 45 days.
Other US states with privacy laws — including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Oregon — give similar rights of access, correction and deletion. If we turn down your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision, and we will respond within 60 days.
Outside the US, contact us and we will do what your local law requires.
Children
This site is for business use. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Other Websites
We link to Google Maps, LinkedIn and YouTube, and sometimes to customers and partners. Once you follow a link, that site's privacy policy applies, not ours.
Changes
We review this policy every year. When we change it, we update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will say so on this page.
