We may use information associated with your purchase or membership to process payment, verify eligibility, administer access, provide support, and communicate important membership information.

Information you provide when using an educational resource or completing an assessment may also be used to deliver the particular resource or service you requested.

Educational resources are distinct from individualized professional services. The information you provide will be handled according to the purpose for which it was collected and the applicable terms of the service.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information to third parties for money. We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

A. Service Providers

We may share information with service providers that help us operate our business and deliver services. Depending on the features you use, these providers may include:

• Stripe: payment processing, transactions, and related payment administration
• PMSuite: client relationship management, invoicing, client communications, and portal-related functions
• Website and hosting providers: website operation, forms, and related technical services
• Cloud storage and document platforms: secure storage, organization, and delivery of documents and digital resources
• Communication and administrative providers: email delivery, customer support, and business operations

These providers may process information on our behalf or in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies. Their access should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant function, subject to applicable arrangements and law.

B. Professional and Business Support

Kat Compliance Group LLC may work with third-party service providers to deliver services requested by clients and to support our business operations. These providers may include professionals and businesses that assist with bookkeeping, tax preparation, compliance services, registrations, filings, document processing, and related administrative functions.

When necessary to provide a requested service, we may share relevant personal, business, financial, or supporting information with the applicable provider, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations and legal requirements. We seek to limit such disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the service being performed.

Certain disclosures may require separate authorization or consent under applicable law. Where required, we will obtain the appropriate authorization before sharing the relevant information.

We will not disclose information to an unrelated professional or business merely because it is available to us.

C. Ascend Custom Prints

Kat Compliance Group may make certain branded business products available to eligible KCG clients through Ascend Custom Prints, a business operated separately from Kat Compliance Group.

If you order products through a KCG client-perk page, we may share information reasonably necessary to verify your KCG client eligibility, coordinate an authorized logo submission, process or fulfill your order, and provide customer support.

Depending on the order, this information may include your name, business name, KCG client number, contact details, order information, and logo or branding files you authorize us to provide.

Ascend Custom Prints is a separate business. Information shared for an order may be subject to Ascend Custom Prints’ applicable privacy practices and terms. You may also provide logo files directly to Ascend Custom Prints instead of authorizing KCG to provide them.

D. Legal and Business Requirements

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, legal process, or lawful requests
• Protect the rights, property, safety, and security of KCG or others
• Investigate suspected fraud, misuse, or security incidents
• Enforce applicable agreements
• Complete a business transaction, such as a merger, restructuring, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable law

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website platform and service providers may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand website usage, or improve performance.

The technologies used will depend on the features enabled on our website.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or any cookie-preference tools provided on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notices or obtain consent before using certain tracking technologies.

Data Retention

We retain personal and business information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain customer and transaction records, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the services provided, applicable recordkeeping requirements, and whether information is needed for an ongoing business or legal purpose.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, de-identify it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal and business information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

Safeguards may include access controls, authentication procedures, secure service providers, and appropriate handling and disposal of information.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

If a security incident occurs, we will respond as appropriate and provide any notices required by applicable law.
