Privacy Policy

Effective July 6, 2026.

This Privacy Policy describes how BDK2, LLC (d/b/a BenefitsWire), a Virginia limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information in connection with our website, email newsletter, alerts, digital content, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). The Service provides news aggregation, summaries, links, commentary, and informational updates for business professionals.

01

Information We Collect

You may use the website anonymously. We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it by subscribing to or requesting the newsletter. The only personal information we collect is your email address and your newsletter subscription requests or preferences.

We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, identify your employer, or submit other identifying information to read the website or subscribe to the newsletter. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information or personal information from children under 13.

02

How We Use Information

We use your email address and newsletter subscription requests to send the newsletter, manage your subscription, process unsubscribe requests, provide administrative or legal notices, maintain records of consent and compliance, and protect the lawful operation and security of the Service. We may also use this information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect our rights, users, and third parties.

03

Email Communications and Unsubscribing

If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise request communications, we may send you email communications. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our emails or by contacting us using the information below. We will honor opt-out requests as required by applicable law.

04

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your email address or newsletter subscription information for anyone else's advertising or marketing. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

We may disclose your email address and subscription information only to service providers that help us operate the Service, such as email delivery, newsletter management, hosting, storage, security, and compliance vendors; to professional advisers where reasonably necessary; in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets; when required or permitted by law, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the rights, property, safety, security, or integrity of Company, the Service, users, subscribers, third parties, or the public; or with your consent or at your direction.

05

Third-Party Links

The Service may link to third-party websites, publications, agencies, social media platforms, professional organizations, or other services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties, and you should review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party services you use.

06

Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and our legal obligations, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or opt out of certain processing of your personal information. Because we collect only email addresses and newsletter subscription requests, we may need your email address to locate and verify your request. To exercise privacy rights, contact us at privacy@benefitswire.com.

California and Virginia residents may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of personal information, and opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling where those laws apply. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or anyone else's advertising.

07

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without required parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

08

Data Retention and Security

We retain email addresses and newsletter subscription records for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the newsletter, manage subscriptions, document consent and opt-out requests, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Service. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or archive it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

09

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we may notify you by posting the updated Privacy Policy, updating the effective date, sending an email, providing a website notice, or using other reasonable methods. We will maintain a dated version history where appropriate.
