Embedded expertise. Real progress.

Privacy and AI governance. Handled.

Senior privacy and AI governance experts embedded in your business — keeping the program moving, the details covered, and your leadership team informed.

You shouldn’t have to wonder if the right work is getting done.

Assess

Understand where you stand and what matters most.

Run

We own the day-to-day so you don’t have to.

Privacy. Governance. Progress.

Most companies reach a point where privacy and data governance can’t be handled informally anymore, but a full-time executive hire isn’t the right answer yet. PrivacyWise is built for exactly that moment.

As your compliance and governance partner, we embed directly with your team, setting strategy, managing day-to-day compliance, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks across privacy, AI and regulatory risk.

  • Senior-level expertise, without the full-time hire.
  • Embedded in your team, not parachuted in for a report or when there’s a problem.
  • Privacy and AI Governance are treated as one connected discipline, not two parallel workstreams.
  • Privacy training.

More clarity for what’s next

We work with data-driven companies across technology, adtech, healthcare, e-commerce, and financial services, ranging from start-ups and high-growth SaaS platforms to enterprise brands navigating complex, multi-national regulatory environments.

General Counsel & Legal Teams

You need privacy managed and off your plate. We act as your operational partner, running the program, flagging risk, and translating compliance requirements into actions your teams can actually execute.

Executive Leadership & GCs at Growth-Stage Companies

Audits, deals and board conversations have a way of making privacy gaps visible at the worst possible time. We give you a clear picture of where you stand and a prioritized roadmap to get where you need to be.

Compliance, Product & Engineering Teams

Compliance requirements buried in policy docs don’t get executed and your team can only act on what they understand. We translate legal obligations into clear workflows so your team knows exactly what to do, and does it.

Confidence builds what’s next

Real-world experience.

We’ve built and run privacy programs inside the kinds of companies that you are growing. We know what breaks when privacy lives only in the legal team, and how to fix it before it does.

One size does not fit all.

We build around your operations, not from an off-the-shelf framework. Your program should be designed around how your business actually works, which means they hold up as you scale and don’t need to be rebuilt every time something changes.

Getting things done.

We own the day-to-day so you don’t have to think about it until you need to. Privacy stays current, issues get caught early and leadership gets clear reporting, without it becoming another thing on your plate.

Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

At PrivacyWise, LLC, we help organizations build and manage privacy and AI governance programs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data obtained through our website, in accordance with applicable U.S. and international privacy laws.

Who we are

PrivacyWise, LLC is the data controller (or “Business” under CCPA) for personal data submitted through this site. You may contact us by email at contact@privacywise.tech or by phone at +1 (303) 351-1069.

Information we collect

We collect personal information you choose to provide, including:

  • First and last name

  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Information you provide when filling out our diagnostic tool (e.g., responses to survey questions; name, email, organization if provided)
  • Other information you voluntarily submit through our website or at events or through engagement on social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn)

We also automatically collect limited technical information through our hosting and security providers (AWS and Cloudflare), such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Pages visited and referring URLs
  • Date and time of visits

If you reach our website by clicking one of our paid advertisements, we also collect:

  • A Google advertising click identifier (“GCLID”) associated with your visit

How we collect it

We collect personal information when:

  • You submit it through our website contact form
  • We meet you at conferences or industry events
  • You engage with us on professional networking platforms (such as LinkedIn)
  • We lawfully receive your contact details from third-party lead sources
  • It is automatically collected through website hosting and security logs
  • You reach our website by clicking one of our paid advertisements

Why we use it

We use personal data to:

  • Respond to inquiries and manage business relationships
  • Send marketing communications (with consent or where permitted by law)
  • Maintain contact lists for relevant updates about our services
  • Protect the security and integrity of our website, and analyze aggregated website usage trends
  • Provide diagnostic tool results and follow up with participants about our services
  • Measure and improve the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share it with:

  • Service providers that operate our website and communications on our behalf
  • Google, solely to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, as described under “Cookies, analytics, and advertising measurement”
  • Independent consultants or business partners under appropriate contractual terms
  • Law enforcement or regulatory bodies, when required by law

When we share personal data with service providers or business partners, we remain responsible for ensuring they process data in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

For data transferred outside the EEA, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms approved by regulators.

You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting contact@privacywise.tech.

EDGE Diagnostic Tool

PrivacyWise occasionally collaborates with partners to offer specialized tools. One such tool is the EDGE diagnostic tool, which we provide together with Chelsea Strategies and Korueka Media (the “EDGE Partners”).

When you complete the EDGE diagnostic:

  • You may provide your name, email, and organization.
  • This information is used to display and email your results.
  • Your information is also shared with the EDGE Partners, who may contact you separately about related services.
  • Your diagnostic responses are used only to generate results and may also be analyzed in aggregate or anonymized form.

Each EDGE Partner will handle your information as an independent controller under their own privacy policy. They are not involved in PrivacyWise’s other services, and we do not share your information with them outside of the EDGE diagnostic. By completing the diagnostic, you consent to this sharing. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting contact@privacywise.tech or the EDGE Partners.

Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above.

  • Contact form submissions are automatically deleted after 24 months. The IP address recorded with a submission is anonymized after 30 days.
  • Website traffic logs are retained for no longer than 1 year before being deleted or anonymized.
  • Diagnostic tool submissions are retained for as long as we maintain contact with you or as required by law.
  • A Google advertising click identifier is stored in your browser’s local storage for up to 90 days. If it becomes associated with a submitted inquiry, it is retained as part of that inquiry and follows the same retention schedule.

If you request deletion, we will remove your data unless retention is legally required.

Your rights

EU/EEA residents

  • Access, correct, or delete personal data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Receive a copy of data (data portability)
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • File a complaint with a Data Protection Authority

U.S. residents (including California)

  • Know what personal data we collect and how we use it
  • Access or delete personal information
  • Correct inaccurate data

To submit a request, email contact@privacywise.tech.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising measurement

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not permit third parties to place retargeting or cross-site advertising cookies on our website.

We use a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics service (Plausible Analytics), hosted on our own infrastructure, to understand aggregated website usage. It does not set cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not receive any advertising click identifier (see below).

Our hosting and security providers (AWS and Cloudflare) automatically collect limited technical data (e.g., IP address, browser, date/time, referring URLs) to operate and secure our website and understand site performance.

Advertising campaign measurement

We advertise our services through paid search campaigns (such as Google Ads). If you reach our website by clicking one of our advertisements, the link may include a Google-generated click identifier (a “GCLID”). We store this identifier in your browser’s local storage for up to 90 days so that, if you later submit an inquiry — even on a different page of our site — we can associate that inquiry with the ad click that led to it.

If your inquiry results in a real business outcome (for example, a scheduled meeting), we may manually report that outcome back to Google, keyed to the stored click identifier, through Google’s offline conversion import. This helps Google measure and improve the relevance of our advertising; it does not add you to any advertising audience, and we do not sell this information. When we share a click identifier and outcome with Google for this purpose, Google processes it under its own privacy policy.

You can prevent this by clearing your browser’s site data, using a private/incognito window, or blocking local storage. You may also contact us at contact@privacywise.tech to request deletion of information associated with your inquiry.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are directed to businesses and not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Accessibility

We are committed to making this Privacy Policy accessible. If you require it in an alternative format due to a disability, please contact us at contact@privacywise.tech.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised date.

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle personal data, contact us by email at contact@privacywise.tech or by phone at +1 (303) 351-1069.

How We Work

Built around what you actually need.

PrivacyWise works as an extension of your team, bringing experienced privacy and AI governance expertise into your business without adding full-time headcount.

Whether you need ongoing support, expert backup, or help with a defined initiative, we build the engagement around what you need us to own, what your team can handle, and where we can make the biggest difference.

Our Approach

  • Embedded, not outsourced
    We learn your business, systems, and people so our advice and support fit seamlessly into the way your organization already works.
  • Risk-first
    We focus on what matters most for your business, your obligations, and your risk tolerance.
  • Privacy + AI, together
    Data and AI governance increasingly share the same systems, stakeholders, and risks. We address them as a connected discipline.
  • Built to last
    We strengthen your internal capability rather than creating unnecessary dependence on us.

Choose the level of support you need.

Fractional Privacy & AI Governance

We own the day-to-day, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Senior privacy and AI governance experts embedded in your business—running the program, guiding your teams, and keeping leadership informed without adding a full-time executive to your headcount.

Privacy can’t remain everyone’s side job.

Privacy requirements change, vendors need review, AI use expands, contracts arrive, and customers ask questions. When responsibility is distributed across already-busy teams, important work slows down or gets missed.

We provide the ownership and continuity needed to keep the entire program moving.

Fractional support may be right for you when:

  • Privacy work is spread across legal, security, product, and engineering.
  • Your General Counsel has become the default privacy owner.
  • You need experienced leadership but are not ready for a full-time executive.
  • Customer requests, audits, contracts, or deals are exposing program gaps.
  • AI adoption is creating governance questions no one clearly owns.
  • You completed an assessment, but the roadmap is not getting executed.
Flexible engagement models

The right level of support for your business.

  • Dedicated fractional leadership
    A senior privacy and AI governance leader embedded with your team and accountable for the program.
  • Ongoing program support
    Flexible access to experienced specialists who maintain momentum, handle defined workstreams, and support your existing program owner.
What We Manage

One accountable partner across your privacy and AI program.

For organizations that need privacy and AI governance genuinely managed on an ongoing basis. We provide clear ownership, senior-level oversight, and continuous forward motion.

  • Program management, handled
    Policy maintenance, regulatory monitoring, cross-functional coordination, and incident readiness, all covered as part of the engagement.
  • Vendor and third-party risk
    Data processing agreements, vendor reviews, and ongoing third-party risk management.
  • AI governance, integrated with privacy
    Data, AI, regulatory, and privacy risks handled as part of the same program. One coherent picture, not two siloed reports.
  • Cross-team support
    We translate compliance requirements into workflows your legal, product, engineering, and security teams can actually execute.
  • Executive and board reporting
    Program status updates your general counsel or senior leadership can use without translation.
  • Prepaid hour buckets
    Purchase additional hours in advance at a discounted rate. Unlike on-demand, these don’t expire during your subscription.

Assessments & Audits

Assess. Clarity from the start.

An assessment gives you a clear, practical view of where you stand today, and a roadmap for what comes next.

Most companies discover they have a data governance problem at the worst possible time: a regulatory inquiry, a failed vendor audit, a deal stalled in diligence. By then, it’s someone else’s finding, not yours to manage on your own terms.

Choose the assessment that fits where you are.

01
DataClarity
Privacy & Data Governance Maturity Assessment

Understand how mature your privacy and data governance program really is across policies, data lifecycle, AI, vendors, incident response, and more.

Best for
Getting the big picture and deciding what to prioritize next.
02
ConsentClarity
Website & Cookie Compliance Review

Implementing a CMP is just the start. Verify that your website actually honors users’ consent choices.

Best for
Validating cookie, tracking, and consent compliance.

03
Compliance Gap Analysis
Regulatory Readiness Assessment

See how your current program measures up against a specific regulation, framework, or certification, and what you need to address to close the gaps.

Best for
Preparing for new laws, expansion, diligence, or increased regulatory scrutiny.
04
Internal Privacy or AI Governance Audit
Independent Program Audit

Let your team focus on their day jobs while we independently test whether your privacy or AI governance program is operating the way your policies and controls say it should.

Best for
Audit requirements, certification readiness, or independent assurance.
05
Training Needs Assessment
Workforce Privacy & AI Readiness

Identify where your teams need greater awareness, role-specific knowledge, or practical guidance around privacy and responsible AI.

Best for
Building a training program based on actual needs instead of generic annual training.

What You Get

Every assessment includes a written findings report written for general counsel and executive audiences. We also walk through findings with your team so the report doesn’t just sit in a folder.

Book an assessment.

Start the assessment that gives you the clarity to make your next move with confidence.
