Privacy Policy for GovConX

Last Updated: August 24, 2025

Welcome to GovConX. This website (`govconx.us`) is owned and operated by Intrusion Stoppers, Inc. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information, particularly in relation to the management of the "GovCon" LinkedIn Group.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide:

When you subscribe to our "GovConX Weekly Briefing" newsletter or contact us, you may provide us with personal information, such as your name and email address.

B. LinkedIn Group Public Content (For Administrative Purposes):

As the administrator of the public "GovCon" LinkedIn Group, we use technology, including the official LinkedIn API, to help manage the community effectively. The data processed for this purpose is limited to the public content within the group itself, such as posts and comments. Our administrative platform analyzes this public content for internal purposes only, including:

  • Aggregate Trend Analysis: To understand what topics are most valuable to the community.
  • Community Health Monitoring: To identify and mitigate spam or off-topic content, ensuring a high-quality professional discussion.
  • Content Curation: To identify popular posts and discussions to feature in our newsletter.

We do not use the API to create profiles of individual members, track individual member activity outside of the group, or store private information. Our focus is on the content of the public discussion, not the individuals themselves.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the `govconx.us` website.
  • To send you our newsletter if you have subscribed.
  • To respond to your questions or comments.
  • To perform administrative tasks to ensure the "GovCon" LinkedIn Group remains a safe, professional, and valuable resource, in accordance with LinkedIn's policies.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your Personal Information or any aggregated LinkedIn Group Data with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information only in limited circumstances, such as to comply with a legal obligation or to protect our rights.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the security of your information. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will indicate the latest revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
