Who we are
The Controls Report is a publication operated by NovaPoint AI LLC. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit this website or contact us.
Information we receive
Our hosting provider, Vercel, processes technical information needed to deliver and secure the website, which can include your IP address, browser information, requested page, and request time. This launch site does not have accounts, a newsletter signup, or an auditor-matching form.
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and any information you choose to include. We use that information to respond and handle your request. Please do not send confidential audit reports, access credentials, or information you are not authorized to share.
Cookies and analytics choices
We store your cookie preference in your browser’s local storage. Authorized editorial preview sessions may use a cookie to keep the editor in preview mode. These functions are separate from optional analytics.
If you select “Allow analytics,” we load Google Analytics to understand which public pages readers visit, how they find us, and basic engagement. Google receives technical information such as browser and device details, page visits, and a cookie-based identifier. We send page URLs without query strings or fragments and limit incoming referral information to the referring website’s origin. We do not enable advertising personalization, Google signals, or automatic form and click measurement.
No Google Analytics script or tracking request loads before you allow analytics. Selecting “Essential only” in “Cookie settings” in the footer stops tracking, removes our Google Analytics cookies, and reloads the page to apply your choice. It does not erase information already sent. Clearing browser storage also resets your preference. See Google’s privacy policy for how Google handles information.
Introductions to auditors and platforms
Auditor matching is not available on this launch site. If we introduce a matching service, the request form will explain which auditors or compliance platforms will receive your information and why. When you request and authorize an introduction, we may share the contact details and business requirements you submit with those recipients so they can respond to you.
Any applicable commercial relationship will be disclosed alongside the request. Browsing this site or sending an editorial question does not by itself authorize us to share your details with auditors or platforms. We will update this policy before the matching service becomes available.
Other sharing
We use service providers for website hosting and business email. They process the information needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when legally required or when necessary to investigate abuse and protect the website. We do not sell visitor mailing lists to data brokers.
Retention and your requests
We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle the request and any associated business or legal obligations. Your browser stores your preference until you change it or clear that storage. To ask about, correct, or request deletion of information you have provided, contact editor@thecontrolsreport.com. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location and circumstances.
External links and policy changes
Other websites have their own privacy practices. This policy applies to The Controls Report. We will update this page and its date when our practices change.
