Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2025
We're in the business of helping operators get licensed - not selling data. This policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it.
What Information We Collect
When you contact us or use our services, we collect:
- Contact details: Name, email, phone number, company name
- Business information: Jurisdiction interests, license type requirements, current operational status
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited (standard analytics)
- Communication records: Emails, consultation notes, document submissions
We don't collect payment card details directly. All transactions go through PCI-compliant payment processors.
How We Use Your Data
Your information helps us:
- Provide accurate licensing guidance for your specific situation
- Prepare jurisdiction comparisons and cost estimates
- Communicate updates about your application process
- Send relevant regulatory updates (only if you opt in)
- Improve our service based on common client needs
We never sell, rent, or share your data with marketing companies. Period.
Third-Party Services
We work with trusted partners who help us deliver our service:
- Google Analytics: Website traffic analysis (anonymized)
- Email providers: Communication management (encrypted)
- Cloud storage: Secure document handling (AWS EU servers)
- Payment processors: Transaction handling (Stripe, PayPal)
These partners follow strict data protection standards. We've vetted each one.
Data Security
