In order for us to best provide our services to you (and to help make it feasible for us to do so), it is essential that we are able to collect and use the information as described in this Policy. This means that the data collection is largely necessary for fulfilling the business relationship we have with you, and where that is not the case, we have a legitimate interest in collecting the information described below to fulfill the services that you have contracted with us to provide and/or purchased or ordered from us.
Furthermore, the law processing of your personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests that we pursue, which are to:
-run and administer our business;

-to evaluate, to develop and improve our services; to market new and improved services; for any necessary purpose in order to comply with any legal obligation to which we are subject.
Disclosure and Transfer of your Information
We use affiliated service providers to help us fulfill services to our clients and run our business subject to strict confidentiality agreements. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
We will disclose data if we believe in good faith such disclosure is necessary (1) to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants or legal process served on us (though we reserve the right to take action on behalf of our users to defend their right to anonymity when we believe there is a legitimate basis to do so); (2) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; (3) as we otherwise deem necessary and is permitted by applicable laws to protect and defend the rights or property of us, the users of our services, or third parties; or (4) as permitted under applicable laws to meet national security and similar requirements; (5) in order to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain;, (6) to respond to an emergency;, (7) or in the event that we sell (or propose to sell) any property, business or assets, we may disclose your information to the prospective buyer under a confidentiality agreement.
Our Use of Cookies
We use various technologies to collect and store information, including cookies, pixel tags, local storage, such as browser web storage or application data caches, databases, and server logs.
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computers hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
We use cookies for many purposes. We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still purchase our services over the telephone or by contacting us.
Disclosure of Information to Outside Parties
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information other than to those entities for which you have provided consent. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or fulfilling our services to you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Some affiliates of Fincen Alliance have their own websites with their own unique privacy policies, tailored to the services they provide. We encourage you to read those privacy policies carefully when you visit those affiliated sites.

Legal Basis for Processing (EEA only):
If you are an individual from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where: (a) we have your consent to do so, (b) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (e.g. to deliver the Services you have requested), or (c) where the processing is in our or a third party's legitimate interests (and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms). In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
Where we rely on your consent to process the personal information, you have the right to withdraw or decline or opt-out of providing your consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
If any information which you provide to us relates to any third party, by providing us with such personal information you confirm that you have obtained any necessary permissions from such persons to the reasonable use of their information in accordance with the above provisions, or are otherwise permitted to give us this information. You further agree to make such third parties aware of this privacy policy

Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our or a third party’s legitimate interests which are not already described in this Notice, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. We will notify you of a data breach within 72 hours of discovery of the data breach.
If you have any questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is a federal law enacted in 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. Its primary goal is to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit financial activities by promoting transparency within corporate structures.
The CTA requires entities to report the individuals with ownership and controlling stake to the federal government. This involves submitting beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and notifying the agency of any changes to the information as they occur.
The reporting requirement of the CTA is effective on January 1, 2024. FinCEN will begin accepting beneficial ownership information reports on that date.
Key details required include the entity’s name, any trade or DBA names, state of formation, federal EIN, ID number from its domicile Secretary of State, the entity’s primary address within the US, full legal name of each beneficial owner, unique identifying number from an acceptable identification document, and more.
Beneficial owners have substantial control over or receive substantial economic benefits from a legal entity.
While the CTA broadly applies to corporations and LLCs, specific exemptions exist. More heavily regulated entities such as banks, credit unions, investment companies, and entities already required to report certain information to the federal government are exempt from the CTA's reporting requirements. Read our guide, Everything You Need to Know About the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) for a full list of exemptions.
Failure to comply with the CTA can result in significant penalties. These may include fines of $500 per day, up to $10,000, or even criminal charges.
For legitimate businesses, beneficial ownership reporting promotes a more transparent and trustworthy business climate. It helps prevent unfair competition from entities engaging in illicit activities, creating a more level playing field for all businesses.
Businesses can prepare by conducting an internal review of their company's structure and ownership hierarchy, collecting necessary documentation for each beneficial owner, establishing a centralized record-keeping system, ensuring regular updates, and training staff members for ongoing compliance.
Our BOI reporting service completes the initial filing and supports updating your information going forward. Order BOI Reporting Service to ensure your initial BOI filing, updates, and changes are managed as needed.
