Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Granza, Inc. (a California corporation) and its IP-holding affiliate, BigLizard LLC (the patent holder), (collectively, "the Companies," "we," "us," or "our"), collect, use, protect, and share information when you interact with the Granza Inquiry and Referral Agreement web form, participate in our Referral Program as a "Referrer," or submit an inquiry as a referred "Prospect."

By submitting the Referral Agreement or a Prospect inquiry form, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This policy is governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota and applicable United States federal laws.

Important Note on Transparency: To facilitate tracking, Prospects are only given the Referrer's name, company name, entity type and title (if they apply), city, and state.

2. Information We Collect

We collect specific information required to execute the Agreement, facilitate introductions, and process payouts. This includes:

• Information You Provide (Referrers): When you register, we collect your Name, Entity Type, Email Address, Physical Address, Phone Number, and your consent to the Agreement. If registering a business entity, we collect your Company Name and Title. Reminder: The only information shared with Prospects about a Referrer is your name, company name, entity type/title (if applicable), city, and state.
• Information You Provide (Prospects): If a Prospect clicks a tracking link and submits an inquiry, we collect the name, company name, title, email, phone number, and any preliminary details provided. Strict Rule: Absolutely no personally identifiable information about a Prospect is ever shared with the Referrer.
• Financial and Compliance Information: If a referral results in a Qualifying Transaction, we request data to process payouts and ensure legality. For Referrers, this simply means an IRS Form W-9 (which accommodates both individuals and business entities) and banking details to wire your fee. For Prospects, this includes standard business or corporate documentation to verify legal standing.
• Technical Data: When accessing our forms, we automatically log basic technical data, including timestamps and IP addresses (even if using a VPN), strictly to verify human interaction via our CAPTCHA provider (Cloudflare) to block spam and bots.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for these business purposes:

• Program Execution: To register Referrers and manage our business relationship.
• Prospect Engagement: To evaluate Prospect inquiries, contact Prospects directly, and track the chain of custody for referral attribution.
• Payout Processing: To disburse Referral Fees.
• Verification & Due Diligence: To ensure program integrity and verify the legal identity, authorized representation, and legal standing of all parties, regardless of their specific business structure.
• Legal Compliance: To ensure compliance with tax reporting, anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, TCPA), and to verify parties against restricted sanctions lists (like OFAC).

4. Technical Tracking & URLs

Our forms rely on unique URL links to attribute referrals. We use minimal, strictly necessary technical markers (like basic session tokens) exclusively to:

• Capture the unique URL identifier to accurately credit the Referrer.
• Operate our CAPTCHA security to block bots.

We do not use advertising cookies to track your behavior across the internet. However, if you configure your browser to strictly block all cookies and local storage, essential security features like CAPTCHA may fail (preventing you from submitting forms). Additionally, it may break the referral tracking link functionality, which could prevent a Referrer from being credited for a Qualifying Transaction.

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals (this will not break the website or affect communications). As stated above, we only track data strictly necessary to attribute referral payouts and secure our forms; we do not track your activity across third-party websites.

6. How We Share and Protect Your Information

We rigorously protect your privacy. We absolutely do not sell, rent, share, or distribute trade secrets, confidential business information, or personally identifiable information to third-party marketers, data brokers, or anyone else under any circumstances, except as strictly outlined below for legal and operational purposes.

We only share information under these strict conditions:

• With Referred Prospects: As stated above, Prospects visiting a landing page are shown the Referrer’s name, company name, title (if applicable), city, and state.
• Internal Operations: Between Granza, Inc. and BigLizard LLC.
• Service Providers: With vendors strictly necessary for secure operations, such as CAPTCHA providers and payment processors (strictly to process Referral Fees).
• Due Diligence Exceptions: We may disclose necessary information to our legal counsel, accountants, or prospective acquirers during the due diligence phase of a transaction. Any such sharing is strictly governed by legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) executed between the Companies and the specific reviewing parties.
• Legal Obligations: If required by federal, state, or local laws (including the IRS), courts, government agencies, or to enforce our Agreement.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as a Referrer's Agreement is active or Prospect discussions are ongoing. If an Agreement terminates or discussions conclude, we retain relevant data for the 24-month "Tail Period" outlined in the Agreement to ensure delayed Referral Fees are accurately paid. We also retain data as necessary to resolve disputes and comply with legal record-keeping.

8. Your Privacy Rights & California Privacy Disclosures (CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your state of residence, including California under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you have specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know and Access: You have the right to request what categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you, the sources, the business purpose, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete your personal data. Note: We may legally deny this request if retaining the data is necessary to complete a transaction (such as paying a Referral Fee), track active referral links, or comply with legal and tax obligations.
• Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: We collect sensitive information (such as IRS Form W-9 data) strictly to pay Referral Fees and comply with IRS laws. We do not use this data to infer characteristics about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: California law requires us to disclose if we "sell" or "share" data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have never sold your personal information, including in the preceding 12 months as required to be disclosed by California law.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

How to Exercise Your Rights: To submit a verifiable consumer request, please contact us by mail using the Principal Place of Business address in Section 14. We will verify your request by matching the information you provide with the information we have on file.

Opting Out of Communications: We only send business-related communications. You may opt out of general program update emails by clicking "unsubscribe" or contacting us. Please note that opting out of all administrative communications may impede our ability to maintain your active Referral Agreement or your participation as a Prospect.

9. Third-Party Links

Our pages may contain links to third-party video hosting platforms or websites (e.g., for platform overview videos or external resources). We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

10. International Data Transfers

The Companies and our target Prospects are strictly US-based. If you access our website from outside the United States, your information will be processed in the US. By using our site, you consent to this transfer.

11. Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical security measures to protect data against unauthorized access. However, no internet system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Program and technologies are strictly for adults and business professionals. Individuals under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from communicating, registering, or working with us in any capacity. We do not knowingly collect, sell, or share any information whatsoever from anyone under the age of 18.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy. Changes will be posted on our website or sent via mail. Continued participation in the program constitutes acceptance of the amended terms.
