Privacy Policy

Website analytics

When enabled, our hosting provider collects browser and traffic information to estimate visits and traffic sources. We also measure public-page navigation, sections visible on screen, menu use, email-link clicks, capability-statement clicks and links to PrimeReadySub. Our custom events use fixed labels, not form contents, email addresses or visitor names. Our analytics do not record your screen, keystrokes or conversation content. These measurements help us improve the site; they do not establish the identity of individual visitors.

Rutledge & Associates respects the privacy of visitors to this site. This policy describes what information we collect and how we use it.

Information We Collect

This public site provides information and a direct capability statement download without requiring an inquiry form. An optional footer link leads to PrimeReadySub, our companion website. Review its notices if you choose to visit. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to provide. We do not collect payment information on this site.

How We Use It

We use the information you provide solely to respond to your inquiry, share requested materials, and follow up regarding potential teaming opportunities. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Rutledge Concierge

Rutledge Concierge is an optional AI assistant. It starts only when you choose to begin a conversation. An external service processes your conversation so the concierge can respond. If you choose voice, this includes your microphone audio; text mode does not request microphone access. The external service may retain conversation data under its own data practices. Talking with the concierge does not, by itself, send anything to our team. On-screen text stays on this page after a session ends so you can review it, and is cleared when you discard it, start a new session, or leave the page. It is never saved in your browser storage. Choosing a meeting time opens a separate scheduling page and does not send your draft or conversation.

Send to Rutledge Form

When you choose to submit the Send to Rutledge form and give consent, we send the details you enter (name, work email, organization, your starting point and description of what you need, and any optional details you add such as role, phone, agency or customer, program, contract vehicle, budget, timing, capability interest, a public link, or a formal request type), plus a scope and the concierge conversation only if you choose to include them, to our customer records system (Salesforce). There it is attached to an existing contact or lead with the same email, or a new lead is created. Your own statements and AI-generated text are labelled separately. We keep a minimal technical record (a request identifier and delivery status, without your details) to prevent duplicate submissions. You see a confirmation only after the records system acknowledges your request. Our analytics record only fixed events such as session start, end, mode, errors and link clicks, never conversation content or form details. Please share only public, non-sensitive information. Do not include confidential government information, passwords, or sensitive personal details.

Data Retention

Inquiry records are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to support business development activities. You may request that your information be removed by contacting us.

Links and Referral Information

Links to PrimeReadySub include our source domain and may carry a limited set of recognized campaign tags. We do not forward contact details or arbitrary URL parameters. No custom click-measurement service is configured in this preview. The linked site may use its own analytics and intake systems.
