Privacy Policy

Who We Are

HILARTECH, LLC, doing business as Federal Contracting Web Design, is a digital strategy and web design firm serving federal, defense, and aerospace contractors. We are headquartered in Tampa, Florida. In this policy, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to HILARTECH, LLC, and "you" refers to any person who visits this website or engages our services.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you use the site.

Information You Provide

• Contact details such as your name, business email, phone number, and company name
• The content of messages you send through our contact form, by email, or by phone
• Scheduling details when you book a strategy call
• Project materials and business information you choose to share while we scope or perform work for you

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and browser type, operating system, and screen settings
• IP address and general location inferred from it
• Pages viewed, links clicked, referring source, and time spent on the site
• Information stored in cookies and similar technologies, as described below

We do not knowingly collect classified, controlled, or other restricted government information through this website. Please do not submit such information through public forms.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations
• Provide, deliver, and improve our services for you
• Send relevant updates, proposals, and follow-ups you have asked for or that relate to active work
• Operate, secure, and maintain the website and our infrastructure
• Understand how the site is used so we can improve it
• Meet legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated advertising.

Cookies and Analytics

This site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, and measure traffic. Some cookies are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand usage through analytics tools.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not function as intended. Where required by law, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

How We Share Information

We share information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Trusted vendors that support our operations, such as secure hosting, email, scheduling, and analytics, who are bound to protect your information and use it only to perform services for us
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or a valid government request
• Protection of rights: When necessary to protect the safety, rights, or property of HILARTECH, our clients, or others
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Client Confidentiality

Many of our clients operate in sensitive environments. We treat the confidentiality of client information as part of how we operate, not an afterthought.

• We sign nondisclosure agreements when a client requires one
• Client work is handled in-house and is not outsourced
• We apply careful controls to client data, code, and design assets

If your engagement is governed by a separate agreement or nondisclosure agreement, the confidentiality terms of that agreement apply to the work covered by it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any credentials you use with us confidential.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide our services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal and contractual obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or de-identify it.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal limits
• Opt out of certain uses, including marketing communications
• Ask how your information is collected, used, and shared

Residents of California, and of other states with comprehensive privacy laws, have specific rights under those laws, including the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising them. We do not sell personal information as that term is defined under applicable law. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe the law requires.

Third-Party Links

Our website may link to client sites, partner sites, and other external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Children's Privacy

This website and our services are intended for businesses and professionals, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
