BroadcomAudits ("we", "us", "our") is an independent advisory firm operating the website broadcomaudits.com. We provide audit defence, licensing assessment, negotiation, and advisory services to enterprises addressing Broadcom (VMware, Symantec, CA Technologies, Carbon Black) licensing matters.

We are not affiliated with Broadcom Inc. and do not act on behalf of Broadcom or its resellers, partners, or subsidiaries.

We also collect limited technical data automatically: IP address, browser type, referring URL, and aggregated page view data via privacy-respecting analytics. We do not use behavioural advertising trackers.

3. Why we collect it

Each provider operates under its own privacy terms and processes data only on documented instructions from us. We do not share information with Broadcom, any Broadcom partner or reseller, or any competing advisory firm.

5. How long we keep it

Inquiry data is retained for the duration of any active engagement and for a further 7 years thereafter to satisfy professional record-keeping standards. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe, after which your email is removed from the active list within 30 days and from backups within 90 days.

7. Cookies and analytics

This site uses a minimal set of cookies necessary for basic functionality (form submission state, layout preferences). We use a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not set persistent identifiers and does not enable cross-site tracking. We do not run advertising pixels, retargeting scripts, or social media tracking.

8. Security

All data transmitted to and from this website is encrypted in transit using TLS. Form submission data is held in encrypted storage at our processors and accessed by named members of our team only. We review access logs quarterly and rotate credentials annually.

If we ever become aware of a personal data breach affecting your data, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours, as required by law.
