7. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Steady Formation does not sell personal information for money.

Depending on the technologies used on our website, certain disclosures involving advertising, analytics, pixels, cookies, retargeting, or cross-context behavioral advertising may be treated as a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" under some U.S. state privacy laws even when no money changes hands.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide an appropriate way to opt out of qualifying sale, sharing, or targeted advertising and will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when applicable to our processing.

8. Sensitive Personal Information

Some information we collect may be considered sensitive under applicable privacy laws, such as government identification numbers, tax identification numbers, identity documents, citizenship or residency details, account credentials, precise financial information, or information used for verification and fraud prevention.

We use sensitive personal information only for purposes reasonably necessary to provide the Services, verify identity or authority, process payments, prevent fraud, maintain security, comply with law, respond to government or provider requirements, or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.

We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you except where permitted by law and necessary for the Services, security, fraud prevention, or compliance.

9. Marketing Communications

Where permitted by law, we may use your contact information to send newsletters, service updates, offers, promotions, affiliate communications, or other marketing messages.

You can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. You may also ask us to stop certain marketing communications by emailing info@steadyformation.com.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending non-marketing messages related to your account, orders, filings, renewals, payments, refunds, security, legal notices, or service administration.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • provide, maintain, and support the Services;
  • complete orders, filings, applications, renewals, cancellations, and refunds;
  • maintain business, transaction, accounting, tax, and compliance records;
  • comply with government, agency, filing, tax, registered agent, address provider, payment processor, and legal obligations;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • resolve disputes and enforce agreements; and
  • establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Retention periods vary based on the type of information, service involved, legal requirements, sensitivity, risk, provider obligations, and operational need.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, de-identify, or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, technical, backup, and recordkeeping limitations.

11. International Data Transfers

Steady Formation is based in the United States. If you access the Services from another country, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where we, our affiliates, service providers, or partners operate.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use recognized transfer mechanisms or other legally permitted safeguards.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, authentication controls, encryption or protected transmission where appropriate, vendor review, monitoring, backups, staff access limits, and security processes suited to the nature of the information and the Services.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, using strong passwords, limiting unauthorized account access, and notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access or misuse.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of personal information;
  • request or obtain a portable copy of certain information;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;
  • opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, profiling, or marketing;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
  • appeal certain privacy-request decisions where required by law.

These rights may be subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain or process information to complete a requested service, comply with law, maintain transaction records, prevent fraud, protect security, resolve disputes, or establish legal claims.

To submit a privacy request, email info@steadyformation.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe the right you wish to exercise.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, subject to reasonable verification of identity, authority, and agency relationship.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

14. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Certain U.S. state privacy laws may give residents rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or opt out of certain processing of personal information, including targeted advertising, sale, sharing, profiling, or certain uses of sensitive personal information.

If a state privacy law applies to our processing of your personal information, you may submit a request using the contact information in Section 13 or Section 23.

We will respond to qualifying requests as required by applicable law. If we deny a request in whole or in part, you may have the right to appeal our decision by replying to our response or by following the appeal instructions we provide.

15. California Privacy Notice

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (CCPA), applies to our processing of your personal information, California residents may have the right to request:

  • the categories of personal information we collect;
  • the categories of sources from which personal information is collected;
  • the business or commercial purposes for collecting, using, selling, or sharing personal information;
  • the categories of third parties to whom information is disclosed;
  • the specific pieces of personal information we hold about them;
  • deletion of qualifying personal information;
  • correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • opt-out of qualifying sale or sharing;
  • limitation of certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information where the law provides that right; and
  • non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

During the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 2 and disclosed them for the business or commercial purposes described in Sections 4 and 6. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If our use of advertising, analytics, or cookie technologies constitutes "sharing" under California law, we will provide legally required opt-out controls.

California residents may submit requests using the contact information in Section 13 or Section 23.

16. EEA, UK, and Similar Data Protection Rights

If the GDPR, UK GDPR, or a similar privacy law applies, you may have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, and the right not to be subject to certain automated decisions where applicable.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object to processing in circumstances provided by law. Where we rely on consent, withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

17. Cookies, Browser Controls, and Opt-Out Signals

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may cause parts of the Services, dashboard, forms, checkout, or account features to stop working correctly.

Browser-based "Do Not Track" signals are not interpreted consistently across the internet. Where applicable law requires us to recognize an opt-out preference signal, including Global Privacy Control, we will process legally valid signals in accordance with that law.

If we provide a cookie banner, cookie settings tool, privacy request page, or other privacy control, the options available through that control may depend on your location, device, browser, and applicable law.

18. Children's Privacy

The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through a child-directed service. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

19. Third-Party Links, Platforms, and Services

Our Services may link to or integrate with government agencies, payment processors, financial institutions, registered agent providers, business address providers, mailing providers, identity-verification providers, social media platforms, analytics providers, advertising partners, or other websites and services that we do not control.

Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information to them.

20. User Content, Testimonials, and Public Information

If you submit a testimonial, review, comment, feedback, business profile information, or other content that you authorize us to publish or use for marketing, we may use that content as permitted by your authorization, our Terms of Service, and applicable law.

Do not submit personal information or confidential information in public-facing areas unless you want that information to be visible to others.

21. Automated Processing and Profiling

We may use automated tools to help detect fraud, secure accounts, process payments, measure website activity, route support requests, review risk signals, or improve the Services.

We do not intend to make legally significant decisions about you solely by automated means unless permitted by law, necessary for fraud or security controls, required by a service provider, or disclosed to you where required.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, technology, business practices, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

We will post the updated policy on our website and revise the "Last Updated" date. Where required by law, we may provide additional notice before material changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
