Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit SOC2Guide ("we," "us," or "the site"), how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible: you can read every guide and run our cost & timeline estimator and readiness self-assessment without creating an account or giving us your name or email. The site is operated by Velox Digital. This policy was last updated on the date shown at the bottom of this page.
Cookies and advertising
SOC2Guide is ad-supported, and advertising uses cookies. Specifically:
- Third-party advertising cookies. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites.
- Google's advertising cookie. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick/AdSense cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- Other vendors. Third-party ad networks and partners may also place or read cookies when ads are served.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at google.com/settings/ads, and you can opt out of personalized advertising from many third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so will not stop you from using the site.
Analytics and data we collect
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. The information collected is non-identifying and aggregate, and may include: which pages are viewed, your device and browser type, the referring site, and an approximate location derived from your IP address (typically country or region level). The answers you select in our on-page tools — the cost & timeline estimator and the readiness self-assessment — run entirely in your browser and are not sent to us or stored on any server.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not collect names, email addresses, or payment details on this site, because the guide pages have no sign-up, login, or checkout. (If you choose to buy our audit-prep documentation, that purchase is processed by our third-party checkout provider under its own privacy policy; we never see your payment-card details.)
Affiliate and partner links
Some links on this site are affiliate or partner links to compliance platforms and other products. If you sign up or purchase through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These relationships never change the figures we report or the recommendations we make — a product is mentioned because it fits the topic on the page. See our Disclaimer for how to use the cost and timeline figures on this site.
Third-party links
Our guides link to third-party websites (for example, the AICPA, compliance platforms, and auditors). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. When you follow a link off SOC2Guide, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Children's privacy
This site is a business resource intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or applicable requirements change. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date below. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
