Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by Rich In Real Life (Geoff Cole) to answer common questions about how we handle information collected through rirlgovcontracts.com.

We collect only the information needed to respond to briefing requests, communicate with prospective students, and improve the experience of the site. We do not sell personal information.

When you request a private briefing, register for a webinar, or fill out a qualification form, we may collect your full name, email address, mobile phone number, business details, and answers to qualification questions.

When you opt in to text messaging, we also record your SMS consent record — including the phone number provided, the consent language shown to you, the date and time (timestamp) of the opt-in, the page or form where consent was given, and any later opt-out (STOP) request.

We also collect standard technical information automatically sent by your browser, such as your IP address, device type, browser version, and the pages you visit.

We use your information to schedule and follow up on briefing requests, determine whether the program is the right fit, and send relevant updates about government contracting opportunities and community events.

Your mobile phone number is used solely to deliver the services you requested — appointment and webinar reminders, account and program notifications, customer support replies, and (where you consented) promotional messages from Rich In Real Life. We do not use your phone number for any purpose you did not consent to.

Technical data helps us understand how visitors use the site, diagnose issues, and improve performance and messaging.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Your mobile opt-in data and SMS consent will never be sold, rented, leased, or otherwise transferred to third parties, affiliates, lead buyers, or marketing partners under any circumstances.

Mobile information may only be disclosed to the licensed messaging service providers and carriers strictly necessary to transmit the messages you requested, and those providers are prohibited from using it for their own marketing purposes.

You may revoke SMS consent at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the site, manage communications, or schedule calls — and only under confidentiality obligations.

These categories of sharing exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, which is never shared with any third party for any marketing or promotional purpose.

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

The site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, and support marketing analytics. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Some third-party services embedded on the site may set their own cookies or collect data according to their own privacy policies.

We keep your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose it was collected for, including follow-up communication and legal record-keeping. SMS consent and opt-out records are retained as required to demonstrate compliance with messaging regulations.

You may request that we delete or update your information at any time by contacting us directly.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time, opt out of text messages by replying STOP, request access to the information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion.

We will respond to reasonable requests in a timely manner, subject to applicable legal requirements.
