2. Cookies and Technologies Used to Collect Information About You
We and/or certain service providers operating on our behalf may collect information about your activity, or activity on devices associated with you, over time on our sites and applications and across non-affiliated websites or online applications.
- Cookies. The Site may use “cookies” and other web tracking tools. We may store information about you using cookies on our Site. A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on your computer by your web browser while you are browsing. We use cookies to improve your site experience, keep you signed in, store your recent searches and recently viewed reports on your device, assess content usage, distinguish you from other users of our Site, and support the marketing of our services. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate settings on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site — for example, recently viewed reports stored in your browser will be cleared when you clear cookies unless saved to an account. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our website. Information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Pixels, Web Beacons, GIFs. Website pages may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear GIFs, pixel tags, and single-pixel GIFs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related statistics (such as recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity). We also use these technical methods to analyze traffic patterns, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Site. These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to a third party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. Our Site may use retargeting pixels from advertising platforms such as Google. We also use web beacons in HTML emails that we send to determine whether recipients have opened those emails and/or clicked on links in those emails.
- Analytics. Analytics are tools we use, such as Google Analytics, to help provide us with information about traffic to our website, to help us understand how visitors interact with our Services, to improve our website functionality, troubleshoot technical issues, and enhance usability. These tools may capture usage information such as page views, clicks, scroll behavior, and technical details about your browser and device. For Google Analytics services, this information may be shared with other services and websites that use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of their own advertising networks. Learn more about Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of having your activity on our Services made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on for your web browser at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Third-Party Widgets. The Site may display third-party widgets, such as customer review widgets (e.g., Trustpilot), that may set their own cookies or collect information subject to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of our third-party advertisers, widget providers, and analytics service providers to learn about your choices regarding information they collect from you. In addition, the Network Advertising Initiative offers information about some of the Internet advertising companies we may use, including how to opt out of interest-based advertising they deliver.
- Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. Our use of online tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws. To the extent that disclosing information to these online tracking technologies is deemed to be a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), or by emailing your request to support@businessregistry.com with the subject line “Privacy Request — Tracking Opt-Out.” Please note that some features of our website may not be available to you as a result of these choices. Apart from these online tracking technologies, we do not sell or share your Personal Information.
3. Publicly Available Information
In addition to the Personal Information collected by our Services as detailed above, we also collect Publicly Available Information or Public Data from various government sources — including Secretary of State and equivalent state business registries, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing offices, federal and state court systems, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office — delivered to us directly or through licensed data providers who source from those government records, in order to provide our products and services, including reports, via our website. Publicly Available Information includes information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records and information that we reasonably believe is made available to the general public.
We acquire and aggregate this information, which may pertain to individuals — such as officers, directors, members, organizers, incorporators, and registered agents of business entities — including both users and non-users of the Site, as that information appears in official government records. We do not purchase private, non-public personal information for resale, and we do not enrich or supplement public records with commercially sourced contact data or other non-governmental personal information. We also do not combine any Personal Information — including automatically collected usage and traffic information and transactional data — that we collect directly from users of the website within the reports, products, and services that we provide.
To request suppression of records associated with you from our search results and reports, email us at support@businessregistry.com with the subject line “Privacy Request — Record Suppression.” So that we can locate and act on the correct record, please include: your full name as it appears in the record; the name of the business entity the record relates to; the state; the report or record number, if you have it; and a statement that you are the individual the record concerns or an agent authorized to act on their behalf. We will reply to the email address you write from in order to verify your request. Suppression removes records from display through our Services only; it does not remove the underlying records from the government sources that publish them. Individuals entitled to address confidentiality under applicable law — including judges, law enforcement officers, and other covered persons under statutes such as New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law and participants in state address confidentiality programs — may request removal of protected information through the same channels, and we prioritize such requests and process them within the timeframes required by applicable law.
4. Interactive Services
The Services may provide interactive features, including chat, chat bot, or managed chat with an option to communicate with our customer service team. Any chat bot or managed chat feature may be powered by artificial intelligence.
By accessing and using any of these features, you agree that we may record and retain a transcript of all communications with you via these interactive tools, and/or may record or recreate your activity while using the Services, in order to provide services, enhance your Services experience, and for quality and verification purposes. We may work with trusted service providers to analyze, store, and/or use this data on our behalf. Your use of any of these tools or of our Services is governed by this section, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use.
You understand that by selecting to use any of these features, you acknowledge that your information may be processed by AI. We will only use your chat conversations to monitor performance, troubleshoot problems, diagnose bugs, prevent abuse, and provide and improve our Services.

- Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers that perform certain functions or services on our behalf (such as hosting the Site, managing databases, performing analyses, processing credit card payments, providing customer service, collecting reviews, or sending communications for us). These third-party service providers are authorized to use your Personal Information only as necessary to provide these services to us. In some instances, we may aggregate information we collect so that third parties do not have access to information that identifies you individually.

We may disclose your Personal Information without notice: (i) when required by law or to comply with a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process; (ii) to cooperate with or undertake an internal or external investigation or audit; (iii) to comply with legal, regulatory, or administrative requirements of governmental authorities; (iv) to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of us, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of their officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, contractors, and partners, and the Site’s users; (v) to enforce or apply our Terms of Use; and (vi) to verify the identity of a user of our Site.

We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes.
6. Protecting Your Personal Information
We use commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical security measures to provide our Site and safeguard your Personal Information. However, you acknowledge that no security safeguards or methods of transmission over the Internet are completely secure. Therefore, we do not promise or guarantee, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information or private communications will always remain private or secure. We do not guarantee that your Personal Information will not be misused by third parties. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security features. You agree that we will not have any liability for the misuse, access, acquisition, deletion, or disclosure of your Personal Information to the extent arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If you believe that your Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized person, you should promptly contact us at support@businessregistry.com so that necessary measures can quickly be taken.
7. Geographic Location of Data Storage and Processing
The Site is operated in the United States. Please be aware that the Site collects Personal Information and processes and stores that Personal Information in databases located in the United States. If you are visiting the Site from a country outside the United States, you should be aware that the data protection laws of the United States may not be as comprehensive as those in your own country. By visiting the Site and submitting any Personal Information, you consent to the transfer of such Personal Information to, and its processing in, the United States.
8. The Length of Time That Your Personal Information Is Kept by Us
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to provide you the Site and the Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies and agreements. In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted to us, including records associated with accounts inactive for twelve (12) or more consecutive months, as described in our Terms. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information in accordance with our retention practices.
9. Your Choices

If you no longer wish to receive marketing or promotional communications from us, you may: respond to the emails that we send out with your request for removal, or click the “unsubscribe” link (where available). Please be aware that there may be a delay between our receipt of your request and our ability to update our lists; thank you for your patience in this regard.

10. Third-Party Links on the Site
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may link to third-party sites or content on the Site, including official government portals and providers of business filing, registered agent, and related services. Some links on the Site are monetized, meaning we may receive compensation if you click a link or purchase a product or service from a third party. We may provide these links for your convenience, but we do not have control over the operation of these third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by our Site. Third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of linked sites. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of those other websites or the information they may collect (which may include IP address).
