Any practices involving the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising must be separately disclosed where required by applicable privacy law.

6. Cookies and Website Technologies

CTI’s website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate essential website functions, maintain sessions, support security, remember certain user preferences, and evaluate website performance.

Cookies may include session cookies, persistent preference cookies, and other technologies deployed through website features or authorized integrations.

Visitors can generally manage or delete cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required by law, CTI will provide appropriate choices regarding nonessential cookies or tracking technologies.

Third-party content and integrations may operate under their providers’ own privacy practices.

7. Recruitment and Applicant Privacy

Recruitment and workforce services are significant components of CTI’s business operations.

When an individual applies for employment or submits a resume, CTI may use the information to evaluate qualifications, identify potential assignments, communicate about opportunities, conduct authorized screening, and administer hiring or contracting processes.

Candidate information may be shared with prospective government or commercial clients where relevant to potential assignments and consistent with applicable law, authorization, and contractual obligations.

Submission of an application does not guarantee employment, placement, or selection.

CTI may retain applicant information for legitimate recruiting purposes and applicable recordkeeping requirements. Individuals may contact CTI to request access, correction, or deletion of their personal information, subject to applicable law and retention obligations.

8. Managed IT Services and Client Data

CTI recognizes the confidential nature of information maintained within the systems and networks of its clients.

When providing technical services, CTI’s access to client information is intended to be limited to the scope necessary for authorized service delivery and administration.

Client information may be subject to service agreements, confidentiality provisions, information security requirements, and other obligations established by the applicable engagement.

Where CTI processes personal information on behalf of a client, the client may remain responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing. Privacy requests concerning such information may need to be directed to the relevant client organization.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy supersedes more specific contractual obligations governing confidential, regulated, or government-controlled information.

9. Data Security

CTI recognizes that safeguarding personal information, client records, and business information is an important organizational responsibility.

We seek to maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and associated risks.

Such safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, encryption where appropriate, security monitoring, workforce access restrictions, backup procedures, and incident response processes.

No website, electronic communication, storage environment, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

In the event of a data security incident involving personal information, CTI will assess its obligations and provide notifications as required by applicable laws and contracts.

10. Data Retention

CTI retains personal information for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

Retention considerations may include:

• Business and service delivery requirements.
• Recruitment and employment recordkeeping obligations.
• Government contract requirements.
• Applicable tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
• Security, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution needs.
• Relevant contractual retention and deletion requirements.

When personal information is no longer needed and retention is not otherwise required, CTI may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable procedures.

Specific retention periods may vary by category of information and applicable requirements.

11. Individual Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the information involved, individuals may have rights to:

12. State Privacy Laws

Residents of certain U.S. states, including California and other jurisdictions with comprehensive privacy legislation, may have additional statutory privacy rights.

Where such laws apply to CTI’s activities, CTI will provide applicable disclosures and mechanisms for exercising those rights.

These may include rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, certain forms of targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, and certain uses of sensitive personal information.

CTI will evaluate requests according to the law applicable to the individual and the processing activity.

Any legally required state-specific notices, disclosures about information practices during the preceding 12 months, or opt-out mechanisms will supplement this policy as applicable.

13. Children’s Privacy

CTI’s website and professional services are intended primarily for businesses, government entities, professionals, and individuals seeking employment opportunities.

Our website is not designed or directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through our general website.

If CTI becomes aware that personal information has been collected from a child in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, appropriate steps will be taken to address the information.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, technology partners, recruiting platforms, and service portals.

These external services may have independent privacy policies, security controls, and information-processing practices.

CTI is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites and encourages individuals to review the relevant privacy disclosures before submitting personal information.

15. International Data Processing

Where personal information is processed or accessed across national borders, CTI will consider applicable privacy laws, contractual restrictions, and legally required safeguards.

Individuals accessing our website from outside the United States should understand that information may be processed in the United States or in other locations where authorized service providers operate, subject to applicable legal requirements.

16. Marketing Communications

CTI may communicate with clients, professional contacts, candidates, and prospective customers regarding relevant services, business opportunities, recruiting activities, and company announcements, subject to applicable law.

Where required, recipients will be offered appropriate methods to opt out of marketing communications.

Requests to stop optional marketing communications do not necessarily prevent necessary operational, contractual, employment-related, or service-related communications.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

CTI may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operations, technology, services, legal requirements, or information-processing practices.

Updated versions will be published on our website with a revised effective or last-updated date.

Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for material changes, CTI will provide it.
