In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Verge Enterprises LLC.

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact Nick@NickVerge.com.

“You” refers to anyone who visits the website, submits information, creates an account, communicates with us, or purchases a product or service.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• —Improve our products, pages, and offers
• —Personalize content or advertising
• —Build advertising audiences
• —Determine whether our advertisements are working

Sadly, these are not chocolate-chip cookies. They are small files and tracking technologies used by websites.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function. Other cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies, may be optional depending on where you live.

Where legally required, we may ask for your consent before using nonessential cookies. You may be able to accept, reject, or manage cookies through a cookie banner, privacy settings, browser settings, or legally recognized opt-out signal.

Disabling cookies may cause parts of the website to stop functioning correctly, forget who you are, or have a small technological breakdown.

We may use any lawful analytics, attribution, advertising, conversion-tracking, website-performance, or behavioral-analysis tools.

These may include, but are not limited to:

• —Google Analytics
• —Google Ads
• —Google tags, pixels, and conversion tracking
• —Meta Pixel
• —Meta advertising services
• —Advertising pixels from other platforms
• —Heat-map tools
• —Session analytics
• —Website-performance tools
• —Affiliate-tracking tools
• —Audience-building tools
• —Retargeting and remarketing technologies
• —Conversion and attribution platforms

These technologies may collect information about your device and browser, your website visits, pages you view, links and advertisements you click, forms you submit, products or services you purchase, your interactions with emails or advertisements, your approximate location, and your activity on this and other websites.

Advertising and analytics providers may use this information to measure performance, attribute sales, prevent fraud, create audiences, personalize advertisements, or show you advertisements on other websites and platforms.

We do not control every independent use of information made by these third parties. Their handling of information is also governed by their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

We may use email, customer-communication, marketing-automation, and customer-relationship-management providers.

These may include, but are not limited to:

• —Resend
• —ConvertKit
• —Transactional-email platforms
• —Marketing-email providers
• —Customer-relationship-management software
• —Customer-support platforms
• —Messaging services
• —Automation and integration tools

These providers may process information such as your name, email address, purchase history, account information, communications, and engagement with our emails.

We may change providers from time to time without rewriting this policy every time a new piece of software exists.

We may use information to:

• —Operate, maintain, and improve the website
• —Process purchases and payments
• —Provide products, services, consulting, or digital content
• —Create and manage customer accounts

• —Protect our business, customers, and legal rights
• —Complete a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of the business

If you provide your email address, we may send you:

• —Purchase confirmations

• —Product-delivery messages
• —Account notifications
• —Support responses
• —Service announcements
• —Educational content
• —Newsletters
• —Promotional messages
• —Offers involving our products, services, or consulting

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from promotional messages does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or administrative communications.

For example, buying something and then unsubscribing does not prevent us from sending you a receipt. That would be ridiculous.

We may disclose personal information to companies or individuals that help us operate the business. These may include:

• —Payment processors
• —Website-hosting providers
• —Cloud-storage providers
• —Email and communication providers
• —Analytics companies
• —Advertising platforms
• —Customer-support tools
• —Account and authentication providers
• —Contractors
• —Consultants
• —Attorneys and accountants
• —Fraud-prevention and security providers
• —Shipping and fulfillment providers
• —Software, automation, and integration providers

These parties may process information as necessary to provide services to us, subject to their contracts, policies, and legal obligations.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, warrant, or legal process; to respond to lawful government requests; to investigate suspected fraud, abuse, or security incidents; to enforce our agreements or policies; to protect our rights, property, customers, or safety; to protect another person from harm; in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, or sale of assets; or at your direction or with your consent.

We do not operate a business that sells personal information in exchange for money.

We sell products, services, and consulting. That is already enough to keep us occupied.

However, we may disclose identifiers, website activity, conversion information, or similar information to analytics and advertising providers.

Depending on the law where you live, these advertising-related disclosures may legally be defined as the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, even when no money is exchanged.

Where legally required, you may opt out of these activities through:

• —The website's cookie or privacy controls
• —A legally recognized browser-based opt-out signal
• —Any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link displayed on the website
• —An email to Nick@NickVerge.com

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children under 16.

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• —Operate the business
• —Provide products and services
• —Maintain accounts
• —Complete transactions
• —Process refunds or disputes
• —Maintain tax, accounting, and financial records
• —Comply with legal obligations
• —Prevent fraud or abuse
• —Resolve disputes
• —Enforce agreements
• —Establish or defend legal claims

The specific retention period may depend on the type of information, why it was collected, and any legal requirements that apply.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete it, anonymize it, aggregate it, or securely retain it when immediate deletion is not technically or legally practical.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information.

These safeguards may include access controls, encryption, secure third-party providers, authentication systems, monitoring, backups, and internal security procedures.

However, no website, server, database, payment system, email platform, or internet transmission is guaranteed to be completely secure.

Anyone promising perfect cybersecurity is either confused or trying to sell you cybersecurity.

You provide information through the internet at your own risk, although we take reasonable steps to protect it.

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to:

• —Know whether we process your personal information
• —Request access to personal information
• —Request correction of inaccurate information
• —Request deletion of certain information
• —Receive a portable copy of certain information
• —Opt out of certain targeted advertising
• —Opt out of certain sales or sharing of information
• —Withdraw consent
• —Restrict or object to certain processing
• —Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request
• —Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights

To submit a privacy request, email Nick@NickVerge.com.

Please clearly describe your request and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant account or information.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may also require an authorized agent to provide proof that the agent is permitted to act for you.

We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, including when information must be retained to complete a transaction, provide a requested product or service, detect security incidents, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, exercise legal rights, or establish or defend legal claims.

California residents may have additional rights under California privacy law.

Depending on whether the applicable legal requirements and business thresholds are met, these rights may include the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, know the sources and purposes of collection, know what categories of information we disclose, access specific pieces of personal information, correct inaccurate information, delete certain information, opt out of the sale or sharing of information, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and receive equal treatment for exercising privacy rights.

The categories of information we may collect include:

• —Identifiers
• —Customer-record information
• —Commercial information
• —Internet or electronic-network activity
• —Approximate geographical information
• —Payment and transaction information
• —Professional or business information you voluntarily provide
• —Inferences drawn from website, advertising, or purchasing activity

We may collect and use these categories for the purposes described throughout this policy.

We do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a separate right to limit its use unless otherwise disclosed.

California residents may submit requests by emailing Nick@NickVerge.com. You may also use any cookie controls, opt-out links, or legally recognized opt-out signals supported by the website.

Where European, United Kingdom, or Swiss data-protection laws apply, we may process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:

• —Your consent
• —Performance of a contract with you
• —Compliance with a legal obligation
• —Our legitimate business interests
• —Protection of vital interests
• —Establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims

Our legitimate interests may include operating the website, providing customer service, preventing fraud, improving products, analyzing performance, and marketing our products or services.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

You may also have the right to submit a complaint to the data-protection authority responsible for your location.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we may use legally recognized safeguards where required.

The website and its products are not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, contact Nick@NickVerge.com so we can investigate and delete it where legally required.

The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, products, or services.

We are not responsible for their privacy practices, security, content, business decisions, or general behavior.

Review their policies before providing them with information.

We may use automated systems or artificial-intelligence tools to help operate the business. These tools may be used for purposes such as:

• —Customer support
• —Content generation
• —Data organization
• —Marketing
• —Analytics
• —Product recommendations
• —Fraud detection
• —Workflow automation
• —Service delivery

Information you submit may be processed by service providers that supply these tools, subject to their agreements and privacy practices.

Please avoid submitting confidential, regulated, or highly sensitive information unless it is specifically required for the service you are using.

If Verge Enterprises LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be reviewed, disclosed, or transferred as part of that transaction.

Any acquiring or successor organization may continue to process information subject to this policy unless you are informed otherwise.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

• —Our products or services
• —Our technology
• —Our vendors
• —Our business practices
