Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This policy explains how Dark Networks LLC ("Dark Networks", "we", "us"), an Idaho limited liability company, handles personal information collected through our web properties: the darknt.com website (including the legacy site at the apex and www until its migration completes) and our marketing landing pages.

• Registered agent address: 784 S. Clearwater Loop, Ste. R, Post Falls, ID 83854-9599
• Office: 1846 1st St. PMB 1035, Idaho Falls, ID 83401
• Privacy contact: privacy@darknt.com

2. Scope

This policy covers the personal information we collect through our websites and marketing pages, principally through contact and marketing forms. It does not cover data you provide through other channels (email, phone, contracts) except where that data originates from a website submission.

3. What we collect, and how

3.1 Information you give us through our forms

When you submit the contact form, we collect the fields you enter:

• First name and last name
• Work email address
• Company
• Your message (the free-text field; optional)

The contact form on this site does not ask for a phone number. Where one of our intake channels or marketing pages does collect a phone number and you opt in to calls or text messages, U.S. calling and texting rules apply - see section 8.

3.2 Information collected automatically when you submit

To record and secure each submission, our systems also capture:

• Your IP address, used for spam and abuse prevention and recorded with the submission
• The page URL the form was submitted from
• A record of consent: the exact consent text shown to you, a consent-policy version identifier, and a timestamp of your submission
• A bot-check result from our anti-abuse provider (section 5)

A hidden anti-spam field ("honeypot") is included in our forms; it is not visible to you and is used only to discard automated submissions.

3.3 What we do not collect

We do not knowingly collect special-category or sensitive personal data, payment card data, or government identifiers through our websites. Please do not include such information in free-text message fields.

4. Why we use your information

• Responding to you: to respond to your inquiry and provide the services or information you request.
• Security: to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse of our forms (IP address, bot check, honeypot).
• Record keeping: to keep a record of the consent shown at submission.
• Marketing: to contact you about services relevant to your inquiry, on the opt-out basis described in section 8.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

5. Anti-abuse / bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect our forms from automated abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. When you submit a form, a verification token and your IP address are sent to Cloudflare for a bot/human assessment. Per Cloudflare, Turnstile is designed to be privacy-preserving: it does not use cookies, and the signals it processes are described by Cloudflare as strictly necessary for bot detection and not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

6. Cookies, analytics, and tracking

Analytics differ across our web properties, and we disclose all of them here:

• This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-first analytics service. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint individual visitors, and does not track you across sites; Cloudflare collects aggregate page-view metrics (page URL, referrer, browser and device type, country) on our behalf.
• This website also uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a service of Google LLC, to measure how the site is used (pages visited, approximate location at a city/country level, browser and device type, and how you arrived at the site). GA4 sets first-party analytics cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish visitors and sessions. Google processes this measurement data on our behalf; we do not use it for advertising, and we have not enabled Google-signals ad features. You can prevent GA4 measurement by blocking analytics cookies in your browser or by installing theGoogle Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Our legacy website (at the apex and www until its migration completes) uses Google Analytics, which sets analytics cookies to measure site usage.
• Our marketing landing pages use Apollo.io for form processing and visitor tracking in support of our sales and marketing.

As we integrate Apollo.io into this website, the cookies and identifiers it sets will be covered by this section; we will update this policy if the way any of these tools are used materially changes.

7. Who we share your information with

We share your information with service providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, for the purposes above:

• Microsoft (Dynamics 365 / Dataverse and Microsoft Azure): your submission is stored as a sales lead record in our Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment, and this website and its form-processing service are hosted on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft processes this data as our processor under the Microsoft Products and Services Data Protection Addendum.
• Cloudflare: for the anti-abuse check (section 5) and cookieless web analytics (section 6).
• Google: for Google Analytics on the properties described in section 6.
• Apollo.io: for marketing forms, visitor tracking on our marketing pages, and sales and marketing operations on lead records.

We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property. We do not sell your personal information.

8. Marketing communications

If we contact you about our services, every marketing message will identify us and include a way to opt out, and we will honor opt-out requests promptly, consistent with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act. Marketing operates on an opt-out basis for U.S. business contacts.

Where a phone number is collected through one of our channels and you expressly opt in to receiving calls or text messages, we honor the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA): your consent is recorded, it is not a condition of purchase, and you can revoke it at any time (for texts, reply STOP). We do not place automated marketing calls or texts without that consent.

9. Your rights

We extend the following rights to all visitors in the United States, whether or not a specific state statute applies to us: you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, and opt out of marketing at any time. California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

To exercise any right, contact us atprivacy@darknt.com. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe applicable law requires (and in any case within 45 days).

10. Data retention

We keep contact-form submissions and the resulting lead records for up to24 months after our last contact with you, unless a longer period is required by law or needed for an active business relationship. You can request earlier deletion at any time (section 9).

11. International data transfers

Our websites are directed at businesses in the United States. Our processors (Microsoft, Cloudflare, Google, Apollo.io) may process data in other countries; where personal data of individuals outside the U.S. is incidentally involved, transfers rely on the mechanisms in our processors' data-protection terms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses).

12. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, including:

• The website and forms are served over HTTPS/TLS, and non-secure requests are redirected to the secure site.
• The form-processing service is not reachable directly from the public internet; requests reach it only through the website front door.
• Our systems authenticate to Dynamics 365 using a managed identity, so no reusable database password is stored in the website or its code.
• Anti-abuse controls (bot check and honeypot) reduce automated misuse.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Children's privacy

Our websites are intended for businesses and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and, for material changes, take additional steps as required by law.
