We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring website, and website usage activity. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries, assessment requests, and service requests
• Provide consultations, business support, and consulting services
• Prepare documents, proposals, and invoices
• Communicate with you about services, appointments, updates, and next steps
• Send service-related and transactional messages
• Send marketing or promotional messages, only where you have given separate consent
• Improve our website, services, and client experience
• Process client intake, service requests, and administrative tasks
• Maintain business records
• Comply with legal, regulatory, or business obligations

3. Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, including:

• Website hosting and form-processing providers
• Email and communication platform providers
• Payment processors used for sending and processing emailed invoices
• Contractors or team members assisting with client services
• Scheduling and client-management tools

These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.

4. Payment Processing and Payment-Card Information

Our website does not directly collect, process, or store payments. When you approve a service and agree to the scope, price, and payment terms, we send you an itemized invoice by email. Payment is processed securely through the payment provider identified on the invoice.

Our website does not directly collect or store complete payment-card numbers, CVV codes, or bank account credentials. Payment information you provide is transmitted directly to the payment processor through their secure checkout interface. We receive confirmation of payment but do not have access to your complete payment-card details.

We do not claim PCI DSS certification unless it has been independently verified. Our payment processor maintains its own security standards and certifications.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Website Tracking

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website, improve performance, and enhance user experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser.

You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. Some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and secure service-provider relationships.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information submitted online. You share information at your own risk.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, enforce our agreements, and operate our business. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer needed, we may securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with our data-retention practices.

8. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to request that we:

• Update or correct your personal information
• Stop sending marketing communications
• Remove you from text or email communication lists
• Provide information about the personal data we may hold about you
• Delete your information where legally and reasonably possible

To make a request, contact us at business@checkrepublicinc.com or (833) 404-5314. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Some information may need to be retained for legal, business, or recordkeeping purposes.

9. SMS Consent and Mobile-Data Protection

When you provide your mobile phone number, we may request your separate consent to send informational or marketing text messages. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any services. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP.

We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile opt-in data or consent status with third parties for their marketing purposes. Mobile opt-in information is used only to send you the messages you have consented to receive.

Please review our SMS Terms & Conditions for more information.

10. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only when necessary to operate our business or provide services, including with:

• Service providers who help operate our website, communication systems, scheduling tools, payment systems, or client-management tools (as described in Section 3)
• Contractors or team members assisting with client services
• Legal, regulatory, or governmental authorities when required by law
• Third parties with your express consent or direction

Any third-party service providers we use are expected to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us. This excludes mobile opt-in data and consent, which are never shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

11. Document and Financial Information

Because our services involve business, credit, or financial consulting, clients may choose to provide documents or sensitive information for review. We use this information only for the purpose of providing the requested services, consultations, document support, or related client assistance.

Clients should only submit information that is necessary for the requested service.

12. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting information.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults and business clients. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that information from a child has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14. No Guarantee of Results

Check Republic Empire Inc. provides business consulting, financial education, credit education, funding readiness support, document preparation assistance, and website and app development. We do not guarantee funding approvals, credit-score increases, account removals, specific financial outcomes, or any particular result. Results vary.
