Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 1, 2025
Entity: BridgeLine Translational Partners, LLC (“BridgeLine,” “we,” “us,” “our”)
Contact: privacy@bridgelinetranslational.com

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or use our consulting services (the “Services”). It also describes your privacy rights under U.S. state laws, including New Jersey’s privacy law, and how to exercise them.

If you are a current or prospective client with whom we have a Services Agreement (MSA/SOW), that agreement may supplement this Notice.

1) What we collect

We collect the categories of personal information below. The specific data we collect depends on how you interact with us.

  • Identifiers & contact info: name, email, phone, company, job title, mailing address.

  • Commercial & service info: inquiry details, proposals, SOWs, engagement history, billing records.

  • Internet/technical data: IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, cookies, and analytics events.

  • Professional/education info: CVs or bios you choose to send.

  • Sensitive data (rare): only if you explicitly provide it and we have a valid purpose and consent (e.g., background check documents for vendor onboarding).

  • No PHI by default: We do not request or require protected health information (PHI). If PHI is necessary, we will execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before receiving any PHI.

Sources: directly from you; your employer/colleagues; referral partners; publicly available sources (e.g., LinkedIn, publications); and service providers (e.g., analytics, CRM, billing).

2) Why we use your information

  • Respond to inquiries and provide proposals.

  • Deliver, maintain, and improve our Services.

  • Operate our website, perform analytics, and prevent fraud/security incidents.

  • Manage contracts, billing, and compliance.

  • Communicate about updates, events, or offerings (you can opt out).

  • Meet legal, regulatory, and audit obligations.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

3) Cookies, analytics, and tracking

We use first-party cookies and similar technologies for site functionality and aggregate analytics (e.g., page performance, traffic patterns).

  • You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

  • If we use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), those providers process limited technical data to provide us aggregated insights.

We do not use cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising based on your browsing across unaffiliated sites.

4) Sharing and disclosure

We share personal information only with:

  • Service providers/Processors under contract (e.g., hosting, email, analytics, CRM, billing, security) who may only use data to perform services for us.

  • Professional advisors (accountants, auditors, lawyers) under confidentiality.

  • Business transfers (merger, acquisition, financing, or sale).

  • Legal/compliance purposes (to comply with law, protect rights, prevent fraud or security incidents).

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by U.S. state privacy laws.

5) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, to perform our contracts, resolve disputes, maintain business records, and comply with legal requirements. Typical retention:

  • Inquiry and CRM records: ~2–3 years from last interaction.

  • Contract/billing records: up to 7 years (or as required by tax/audit laws).

  • Security logs: ~12–24 months.
    We delete or de-identify data when it is no longer needed.

6) Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data, including access controls, encryption in transit, vendor due diligence, and incident response procedures. No method is 100% secure; please notify us promptly of any suspected incident at privacy@bridgelinetranslational.com.

7) Your privacy rights (U.S. state laws)

Depending on where you live (including New Jersey, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia), you may have the right to:

  • Know/Access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

  • Correct inaccurate personal information.

  • Delete personal information (subject to legal exceptions).

  • Portability (receive a copy in a portable format).

  • Opt out of sales and cross-context behavioral advertising (we do not engage in these).

  • Limit use of sensitive data (we do not use sensitive data beyond permitted purposes).

  • Appeal a rights request decision (where applicable).

How to exercise your rights: email privacy@bridgelinetranslational.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject and specify your request and state of residence. We will verify your identity (e.g., via your email domain or reasonable documentation) and respond within the time required by applicable law. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.

Residents may have the right to lodge complaints with their state Attorney General or privacy regulator. We encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve your concern.

8) Children’s data

Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9) International visitors

We are U.S.-based. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the United States where laws may differ.

10) Third-party links

Our website may link to third-party sites or services we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices.
