Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure

In general, we collect and otherwise process personal information for the following business or commercial purposes, or as otherwise directed or consented to by you:

• Entity formation and registered agent services (e.g., filing documents, maintaining compliance);
• Order fulfillment and payment processing;
• Customer support (e.g., phone/email assistance for business setup);
• Digital communications (e.g., email notifications for service updates or compliance reminders);
• Account administration and statistics & insights (e.g., dashboard for business status);
• Personalized service recommendations (e.g., add-on compliance tools based on entity type);
• Contests, sweepstakes, or promotions (e.g., referral discounts for new formations);
• Fraud detection and security;
• Research and analytics (e.g., anonymized trends); and
• General business and operational support (e.g., internal training via call recordings).

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information

The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

We do not sell or share personal information (including for advertising purposes). Disclosures to third parties are strictly for business purposes under contract (e.g., payment processing, analytics), with no monetary exchange or behavioral ad targeting.

California Residents’ Rights

California law grants California residents certain rights and imposes restrictions on particular business practices as set forth below.

Right to Opt-Out California residents have the right to opt out of our sale or sharing of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. Additionally, under the CCPA, residents have the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. Since we do not sell or share, this right is not applicable, but we honor cookie opt-outs for tracking. Online opt-out rights can be exercised by visiting our Cookie Policy for options or by going directly to our Cookie Settings page and deleting or preventing cookies from being used. We do not, and will not, sell or share your information to third-parties as defined in the CPRA.

Right to Opt-In We do not sell or share personal information about residents who we know are younger than 16 years old without verifiable parental consent.

Notice at Collection. We are required to notify California residents, at or before the point of collection of their personal information, of the categories of personal information collected, the retention periods for such information and the purposes for which such information is used (as detailed in our Privacy Policy).

Verifiable Requests to Delete, Requests to Know, and Requests to Correct Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to make the following requests, at no charge, up to twice every 12 months:

• Right to Correct: Under the CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act), California residents now have the right to request corrections to inaccurate personal information that we maintain.
• Right of Deletion: California residents have the right to request deletion of their personal information that we have collected about them, subject to certain exemptions (e.g., legal retention for tax/compliance records), and to have such personal information deleted.
• Right to Know – Right to a Copy: California residents have the right to request a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about them in the prior 12 months, and to have this delivered, free of charge, either (a) by mail or (b) electronically in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows the individual to transmit this information to another entity without hindrance.
• Right to Know – Information: California residents have the right to request that we provide them certain information about how we have handled their personal information in the prior 12 months.
• Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against residents who exercise their rights under CCPA/CPRA. However, we may offer different pricing or service levels if such differences are reasonably related to the value provided by the data.
• Rights to Disclosure of Financial Incentives. You have the right to opt in to any financial incentives offers and be notified of their material terms, and the right to be able to opt out of such offers at any time.

We do not currently offer any financial incentive programs (e.g., loyalty rewards or discounts tied to data collection) that would qualify under CCPA. If we introduce one in the future, we will provide notice of terms, value, and opt-out options.

Retention Period

We retain the categories of personal information outlined above for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Service Providers and Contractors

We share personal information with service providers and contractors as necessary for business purposes (e.g., payment processors). Contractors are subject to the same CCPA regulations as service providers, including data processing agreements ensuring security, limited use, and deletion upon termination.

*Requests may be denied in whole or in part due to various factors, including because a request was not verifiable, was not made by a consumer, was made multiple times, or called for information exempt from disclosure (e.g., public filings or legal obligations).
