Last Updated: August 2022

At Georgia Registered Agent LLC, our dedication to protecting our clients’ personal information is a key part of how we do business, which includes never selling our clients’ data to third-party marketing firms.

The Privacy Policy below explains how Georgia Registered Agent LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “we” and “us”) approach collecting, using, and protecting your data and information, and the policy applies to every type of interaction we may have with you, including telephone calls, emails, and the use of our website. This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service and, as such, governs your use of our services and products (“Services”). By using our website or Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.

How We Approach Information & Data Security

Is it necessary for us to collect some user and client information as a Georgia registered agent and business filing service, but we’re dedicated to handling that information with the utmost care.

Personal information collected by the site is stored in operating environments that are not available to the public. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose your personal information to you. In certain telephone and in person transactions, we may ask for certain client identifiers or other information to verify your identity before conducting the transactions you have requested.

Please understand that while we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We periodically review our security procedures to consider appropriate technology and methods to secure information.

How Long We Retain Information

We will retain your information for as long as needed to provide you Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We also may maintain some or all of this information in our archives even after it has been removed from the site.

Cookies and Other Tracing Technologies

• Cookies: Our website uses “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your device by a web server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

If you register an account with us, a cookie allows us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This facilitates the process of recalling your personal information so that when you return to our website, the information you previously provided can be easily retrieved.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you want to. If you choose not to allow cookies, this may impact your ability to log into your account or experience the full interactive features of our Services.

• Web Beacons: We also employ a technology called web beacons or “clear gifs” that help us track referrals from our partners and affiliates and better manage content on our website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track online movements of web users.

Our partners and affiliates may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your activities on our site. The use of tracing technologies by our service providers, technology providers or other third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

Non U.S. Users

If you are located outside of the United States of America, you should be aware that your personal information will be transferred to the United States of America, the laws of which may differ from the laws of your country.

California law allows California residents to submit a verifiable request for us to provide them with certain information including:

• specific pieces and categories of personal information that we have collected about them;
• the categories of sources for that information;
• the business or commercial purposes for collecting their information; and
• the categories of third parties with which their information is shared.

California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of their information under certain circumstances. This is not an absolute right, and we may decline to delete information when retention is allowed by law, for example, when we have an on-going business relationship with the person, we have a continued need to use the information, or we need to retain the information in order to comply with a legal obligation.

If you exercise your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, we will not provide discriminatory treatment to you.

Where this is not possible, we may request that you submit additional documentation for verification. Please note that, in accordance with California law, we will not be able to satisfy your request until we have verified your identity.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request, you must provide us with your written permission for the agent to make the request on your behalf, or provide us with a signed power of attorney.
