Privacy Policy

Carter Industries LLC ("Carter Industries," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through carterindustries.org (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have.

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number (if provided)
• The subject, service of interest, or message you submit

We do not knowingly collect financial account numbers, government identification numbers, or other sensitive personal data through the Site itself. If you engage us for advisory services, additional information may be collected directly as part of that engagement, under separate terms.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiry or consultation request
• Provide the advisory services you request
• Send you information about our services, if you have opted in
• Maintain records of our client and prospect relationships
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site or deliver services (for example, hosting or email providers), under confidentiality obligations
• Professionals you ask us to coordinate with, such as your attorney or CPA
• Funding partners in our personal funders network, but only where you have requested a funding introduction and consented to the referral
• Government or regulatory authorities, where required by law

Cookies and Analytics

The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may involve a request to Google's servers when the page loads. As of the effective date above, the Site does not use analytics or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details, which we will update if that changes.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, provide services, and satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Your Rights and Choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you marketing communications, by contacting us using the details below. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the information you share with us. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-Party Links

The Site links to third-party sites, including our venture portfolio companies and social media profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies directly.
