Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Commitment to Privacy

Chic Geek Enterprises LLC ("Chic Geek Enterprises," "CGE," "we," "our," or "us") respects the privacy of individuals, clients, organizations, members, subscribers, and visitors who interact with our business ecosystem.

We are committed to responsible information stewardship, transparent business practices, and appropriate protection of personal, professional, and organizational information entrusted to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, process, disclose, retain, and protect information in connection with our websites, products, professional services, memberships, digital platforms, assessments, educational experiences, events, and related business activities.

2. Scope and Covered Properties

This Privacy Policy applies to Chic Geek Enterprises LLC, its registered DBAs, and the brands, websites, products, intellectual properties, and business activities operated under its ownership or control, unless a separate privacy policy expressly applies.

Covered activities may include:

• Strategic consulting, enterprise advisory, operational improvement, digital transformation, and technology architecture.
• Memberships, subscriptions, customer workspaces, business platforms, and technology-enabled services.
• AI-powered assessments, diagnostic tools, automated recommendations, and content-generation products.
• Courses, accelerators, communities, educational resources, and professional development experiences.
• Digital publications, books, workbooks, templates, frameworks, and licensed content.
• Marketing, communication, CRM, automation, analytics, and business-development activities.
• Events, workshops, speaking engagements, and physical or digital product purchases.
• Other products, brands, programs, and services developed or acquired by CGE.

Covered properties may include Chic Geek Enterprises, MultiMissionaire™, ReadyCheckGo.ai, System Scribe™, The GeekLink, Clarity Cohort™, The S³ System™, Scale WithIN Means (SWIM), Talk Techie 2 Me, SaaS Sassy, and other CGE-controlled properties.

Property-Specific Privacy Notices

Certain properties or solutions may have additional privacy disclosures describing the information collected, processing activities, technologies, retention practices, or rights associated with that offering.

When an additional notice applies, it supplements this Privacy Policy. For processing specifically governed by that notice, the more specific disclosure controls to the extent legally permissible. No separate notice removes rights or protections required by applicable law.

A CGE-related brand operated by a legally separate entity is covered only when CGE expressly identifies itself as responsible for that property's information processing.

3. Categories of Information We Collect

We collect information relevant to an interaction, purchase, service, professional relationship, or legitimate business need.

A. Personal and Professional Identification

Payment card credentials and other sensitive payment details may be collected and processed directly by authorized payment service providers rather than stored by CGE.

E. Technical and Usage Information

G. Optional Physical or Event Information

• Event registration and attendance details.
• Shipping information for physical products.

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information unless necessary for a specifically disclosed purpose. Users should avoid providing government identifiers, financial account credentials, protected health information, or other highly sensitive data through general-purpose forms, assessments, or AI tools unless expressly authorized.

4. Sources of Information

Information may be obtained:

• Directly from individuals, customers, and authorized representatives.
• Through CGE websites, forms, checkout pages, workspaces, assessments, and applications.
• Through permitted integrations with third-party platforms.
• From organizations that authorize us to provide services on their behalf.
• Through referrals, business introductions, events, and professional interactions.
• From publicly accessible business information where collection and use are lawful.
• Through analytics and security technologies associated with our digital properties.

We do not use these sources to build information lists for sale or commercial distribution.

5. How We Use Information

Service Delivery and Account Administration

To evaluate inquiries, establish accounts, deliver purchased products, fulfill contractual commitments, provide support, process transactions, maintain entitlements, and administer customer relationships.

Business Evaluation and Strategic Improvement

To evaluate service effectiveness, identify process gaps, assess customer needs, improve user experiences, develop product capabilities, refine methodologies, and enhance our business operations.

Marketing and Sales

To communicate relevant services, products, educational opportunities, program announcements, invitations, customer resources, and legitimate business offers.

Marketing activities are conducted subject to applicable consent requirements, communication preferences, and opt-out rights.

Analytics and Performance

To understand website and product performance, evaluate engagement, attribute marketing activity, improve conversion experiences, and measure the effectiveness of our business solutions.

Security and Compliance

To identify unauthorized activity, maintain access controls, investigate misuse, protect intellectual property, manage disputes, comply with applicable law, and preserve business records.

Research and Development

To analyze aggregated, de-identified, or otherwise appropriately processed information for solution enhancement, quality assurance, product evaluation, and internal business innovation.

We do not authorize unrestricted reuse of confidential customer data or proprietary client materials for unrelated purposes.

Where a privacy law requires a legal basis for processing, our basis may include contractual necessity, consent, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, or another lawful basis appropriate to the activity.

6. Marketing Communications and Preferences

CGE may communicate with existing customers, prospects, subscribers, members, or other individuals who have interacted with our business properties.

Depending on the relationship and applicable legal requirements, communications may include product information, educational content, service announcements, offers, invitations, and relevant business updates.

Transactional and Service Communications

Messages necessary to administer purchases, subscriptions, account access, security, customer support, billing, or existing business relationships.

Marketing Communications

Promotional messages concerning services, products, programs, events, or other CGE offerings.

Recipients may opt out of marketing communications through the unsubscribe or preference-management mechanism provided in the message, or through our official contact page.

Opting out of marketing does not necessarily prevent essential transactional, security, legal, or service-related communications.

Where applicable, automated text messages, telephone outreach, and other regulated communications require the appropriate permission or lawful basis. Consent to receive marketing texts or calls is not a condition of purchase unless expressly permitted by law.

CGE does not sell or transfer contact lists to third-party marketers. External providers acting on our behalf may process limited contact information solely to deliver authorized communications or supporting services under applicable contractual protections.

7. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

CGE properties may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and comparable technologies for legitimate operational and business purposes.

• Essential website functionality and account authentication.
• Security, fraud prevention, and session continuity.
• Website traffic measurement and performance monitoring.
• Conversion measurement and marketing attribution.
• Personalization and user-experience improvements.
• Campaign performance evaluation where permitted.

Some technologies may be operated by external service providers.

Users may manage available choices through applicable cookie controls, browser settings, device preferences, or other methods provided by the relevant property.

Where required by law, nonessential tracking will be subject to appropriate notice, consent, or opt-out mechanisms.

CGE does not authorize third parties to use customer lists for independent advertising or unrelated marketing purposes. Any use of advertising or attribution technologies must remain consistent with this commitment and applicable privacy law.

Disabling certain technologies may affect functionality or reduce the accuracy of analytics and preference settings.

8. AI, Automation, Assessments, and Generated Content

Certain CGE solutions use artificial intelligence, automated workflows, third-party models, decision-support tools, and other technology-assisted processes.

These may process information submitted by users, including assessment responses, prompts, business context, operational information, and supporting materials.

Such processing may be used to:

• Produce reports, assessments, recommendations, and generated content.
• Support product functions and customer-requested automation.
• Perform quality assurance, debugging, and security reviews.
• Improve workflows, output accuracy, user experience, and service effectiveness.
• Evaluate and refine CGE methodologies and technology-enabled products.

Generated content may require human review and may contain inaccuracies, incomplete analysis, or other limitations.

Customer Confidentiality and AI Processing

CGE does not grant itself unrestricted permission to publish, sell, disclose, or commercially exploit confidential customer inputs solely because they were submitted to an AI-enabled solution.

Customer-specific AI processing may be further governed by applicable product terms, processor agreements, and platform disclosures.

CGE may use aggregated, anonymized, or appropriately de-identified findings to improve its products and methodologies, provided doing so does not disclose confidential or identifiable customer information.

Identifiable customer data will not be used to train general-purpose AI models for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis, notice, and authorization where required.

CGE does not represent that every third-party AI provider follows identical data-retention, model-training, or security practices. Applicable vendor processing conditions may differ and will be governed by the relevant service and data-protection arrangements.

9. CRM Systems, Hosted Workspaces, and Customer-Controlled Data

Certain CGE offerings provide CRM functionality, customer workspaces, contact management, automation, websites, payment integrations, and related business technology.

These environments may contain information supplied, imported, or collected by customers concerning their own contacts, clients, employees, and other third parties.

• The customer generally determines the purposes and authorized uses of its business records.
• CGE may act as a service provider or data processor to support the contracted solution.
• The customer is responsible for obtaining necessary permissions, providing required notices, maintaining lawful contact practices, and authorizing its users.
• CGE may process relevant records to deliver, secure, troubleshoot, maintain, and support the service.
• Customer contact records are not incorporated into CGE's independent marketing lists merely because they are hosted within a CGE-provided workspace.
• CGE does not sell, rent, or independently market to a customer's imported contacts based solely on their presence in that customer's account.

Workspace access, exports, integrations, backups, retention, and deletion may be subject to platform functionality and the applicable product agreement.

Where appropriate, a separate Data Processing Agreement may establish additional roles, responsibilities, technical safeguards, subprocessors, deletion procedures, and contractual protections.

10. Information Sharing and Disclosure

CGE does not sell, rent, or license personal information or customer contact lists.

We may disclose limited information under the following circumstances:

• Authorized service providers: Providers supporting CRM platforms, hosting, storage, payment processing, analytics, communication delivery, AI functionality, technical operations, customer support, or other legitimate business services.
• Customer-directed integrations: Where a customer authorizes information transfer to another platform, application, or service.
• Authorized personnel and contractors: Individuals performing approved work on behalf of CGE under appropriate confidentiality and access obligations.
• Legal obligations: Where disclosure is required by law, valid legal process, regulatory obligations, or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights.
• Security and protection: To investigate fraud, enforce agreements, respond to security incidents, or protect individuals and business operations.
• Business transactions: In connection with a legitimate merger, restructuring, acquisition, financing, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.
• With direction or consent: Where an individual or authorized customer expressly requests or permits disclosure.

CGE does not permit service providers to independently use entrusted information for unrelated commercial purposes when acting solely on CGE's behalf.

11. Data Security and Access Controls

CGE maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and services involved.

Safeguards may include:

• Role-based or permission-controlled access.
• Authentication and account security measures.
• Secure transmission and storage technologies where supported.
• Vendor assessment and access restrictions.
• Backup, recovery, and business-continuity measures.
• Monitoring for unauthorized or suspicious activity.
• Internal confidentiality obligations and operational procedures.

Security controls may vary according to the product, platform, information sensitivity, and contracted service scope.

No method of electronic transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure. CGE does not guarantee absolute protection against all security risks.

Where a security incident creates a legally reportable obligation, CGE will provide required notifications in accordance with applicable law and contractual commitments.

12. Data Retention and Deletion

Information is retained for periods reasonably necessary to support its collection and lawful use.

Retention considerations include:

• Duration of an active customer or business relationship.
• Contractual service and support obligations.
• Account lifecycle, subscription status, and platform functionality.
• Financial, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.
• Security, dispute-resolution, and legal preservation obligations.
• Legitimate evaluation, analysis, and business-improvement needs.

Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, information may be deleted, anonymized, de-identified, or securely archived as appropriate.

Customer workspace deletion, account closure, exports, and post-termination access may follow the procedures and timelines established by the applicable product or service terms.

Copies retained in backups, regulatory records, transaction archives, or legally preserved materials may remain for additional periods where permitted or required.

13. Individual Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, individuals may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of eligible personal information.
• Request information about collection and disclosure practices.
• Obtain copies of certain information in a portable format.
• Object to or restrict qualifying processing activities.
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.
• Opt out of qualifying marketing, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities.
• Appeal certain privacy decisions where applicable.
• Exercise statutory rights without unlawful discrimination.

CGE will evaluate and respond to qualifying requests within applicable legal timelines. We may request reasonable verification before providing access to or modifying protected records.

Certain requests may be limited by contractual obligations, security considerations, legal exceptions, or the rights of other individuals.

When CGE processes information on behalf of an organizational customer, it may be necessary to direct a request to that organization as the party controlling the information.

Requests may be submitted through the official Chic Geek Enterprises website contact page, by telephone, or through an authorized postal correspondence channel identified by CGE.

14. United States State Privacy Disclosures

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable consumer privacy legislation, where such legislation applies to CGE and the processing involved.

CGE's policy is not to sell personal information or customer lists.

Certain privacy laws distinguish the ordinary meaning of selling information from legally defined "sale," "sharing," targeted advertising, or profiling. CGE will assess applicable technologies and practices against those definitions and provide additional notices or mechanisms where legally required.

If a property engages in processing that triggers a jurisdiction-specific notice, opt-out, or consent requirement, the required rights and procedures will be provided through that property or an accompanying notice.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits non-waivable statutory rights.

15. International Processing and Transfers

CGE primarily operates from the United States.

Information may be stored or processed in the United States or other locations where approved service providers maintain systems or operations.

Where applicable law requires additional protections for international transfers, CGE will implement appropriate safeguards or rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

Users accessing our services from outside the United States acknowledge that the applicable service may involve cross-border processing, subject to mandatory local legal requirements.

16. Children's Privacy

CGE's general business services, professional platforms, and commercial offerings are intended for adults and authorized organizational users.

Unless a specific offering expressly establishes a different eligible age and appropriate safeguards, users must be at least eighteen years old to create accounts or make purchases.

CGE does not knowingly collect children's personal information through its general business websites or services.

If a separate youth-oriented activity is offered, it may be subject to distinct eligibility, notice, consent, and protection requirements.

If we become aware of information collected in violation of applicable children's privacy laws, we will take appropriate corrective action, including deletion where required.

17. Testimonials, Case Studies, and Publicity

CGE may invite customers or participants to provide testimonials, reviews, feedback, or permission to share business results.

Identifiable testimonials, customer logos, confidential engagement details, and attributed case studies will be used in accordance with applicable permissions and agreements.

Submission of private business information does not automatically authorize public disclosure.

CGE may describe generalized methods, aggregated observations, and non-identifying business insights, provided it does not disclose protected customer information.

18. Third-Party Websites and Independent Platforms

CGE properties may link to external websites, applications, payment providers, community platforms, and third-party services.

Independent third parties may have their own privacy notices, security practices, and contractual obligations.

CGE is not responsible for independent information practices of organizations outside its control, except where applicable law or an express contractual obligation establishes responsibility.

Users are encouraged to review applicable third-party notices before submitting information.

19. Business Transitions and Changes in Control

In connection with a legitimate corporate transaction, relevant information may be transferred to an authorized successor or acquiring entity where lawful and necessary.

CGE will take appropriate steps to protect transferred information and provide required notice when ownership or processing practices materially change.

Customer information will not be treated as an unrestricted product for independent sale merely because a business transaction occurs.

20. Policy Updates and Material Changes

CGE may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect:

• Changes in technology, services, products, or operating practices.
• New or modified brands, DBAs, or commercial properties.
• Legal or regulatory developments.
• Security, compliance, or information-governance improvements.

Updated policies will identify the applicable effective or revision date.

Where changes require additional notice, consent, or another action under applicable law, CGE will provide the required process.

Material changes to information processing will not automatically authorize incompatible new uses of information previously collected.

Continued use of a property after an updated policy becomes effective may acknowledge the applicable notice, but does not replace affirmative consent where legally required.
