Privacy Policy

How Risk Guides handles technical information, cookies, advertising, browser-based tools, and privacy choices.

By Adrian M. FenwickReviewed August 3, 2026

Effective date: August 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains information practices for Risk Guides at risk-guides.wrswebsolutions.com.

Information processed automatically

When you visit, web servers and service providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, referring pages, and security or error logs. This information may be used to deliver the site, maintain security, diagnose problems, measure performance, and understand aggregate use.

Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies

The site and third-party services may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, pixels, IP addresses, or similar technologies. You can manage cookies through browser settings and, where displayed, consent or privacy controls.

Google AdSense and advertising partners

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this site or other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on settings, consent, applicable law, and available signals.

Visitors can review or control Google ad personalization through Google’s advertising settings. Other advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies or similar technologies and may provide their own opt-out mechanisms.

Consent and regional privacy messages

Where required, the site may display a consent-management message, including for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland. Choices may affect whether personalized, non-personalized, or limited advertising is available. Consent choices may be changed or withdrawn through the message or privacy controls made available on the site.

Browser-based tools

The risk matrix, risk register builder, KRI planner, and treatment-plan builder are designed to process entries locally in your browser. The site code does not intentionally transmit or store values entered into those tools. Do not enter confidential, personal, regulated, classified, security-sensitive, or legally privileged information.

Analytics and service providers

The site may use hosting, security, performance, analytics, consent-management, and advertising providers. Those providers may process technical information under their own terms and privacy practices.

Data retention and security

Technical logs may be retained for periods reasonably necessary for security, operation, troubleshooting, legal obligations, and abuse prevention. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children for the purpose of collecting personal information. Do not submit personal information through the contact channel.

Privacy rights

Depending on location and applicable law, visitors may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, or withdrawal of consent. Because this informational site generally does not maintain visitor accounts, the ability to identify data associated with a particular person may be limited.

External links

External websites have their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when site practices, services, or requirements change. For a specific privacy concern, use the limited-purpose contact route described on the Contact page.
