# Privacy Policy Last updated: July 4, 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how Stateside Operator collects, uses, and protects personal information through statesideops.com and related assessment forms. Stateside Operator is built for business founders and operators. The site is not intended for children or for submission of sensitive personal, financial, legal, tax, immigration, medical, or regulated professional information. ## Who We Are Stateside Operator provides operational execution structure and coordination for US expansion. It does not replace licensed legal, tax, immigration, accounting, investment, or regulatory advice. ## Information We Collect We collect information you choose to provide, including: - Name, email address, company, country, website, industry, and assessment form responses. - Information you include in messages or follow-up correspondence. - Basic business context about your US expansion readiness, demand, timeline, and operational blockers. Please do not submit passport numbers, tax IDs, bank account details, immigration case numbers, confidential contracts, customer names, employee personal data, legal documents, cap table details, financial statements, or regulated professional details. We may also receive limited technical information when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited, general location, and performance data. This information helps keep the site secure and understand whether the site is working properly. ## How We Use Information We use personal information to: - Respond to inquiries and assessment requests. - Determine whether Stateside Operator may be a fit for your situation. - Communicate about the US Expansion Wall Assessment or related operational next steps. - Improve site content, usability, performance, and security. - Maintain appropriate business records and comply with applicable obligations. For visitors in jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, pre-contractual or contractual necessity, and legal obligations, depending on the context. ## Service Providers We use trusted service providers to operate the site and process submissions. These may include: - Cloudflare for hosting, DNS, security, performance, and privacy-focused web analytics. - Formspree for assessment and contact form processing. - Google Search Console for search visibility and site health reporting. These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. ## Analytics And Cookies If enabled, Cloudflare Web Analytics is used to understand site performance and traffic patterns without building individual user profiles. Cloudflare states that its Web Analytics collects limited performance information and does not track individual end users across customer properties. If the site later adds non-essential cookies, advertising pixels, or similar tracking tools, this policy should be updated before those tools are used. ## Sharing Information We may share information only when reasonably necessary: - With service providers that help operate the website, forms, analytics, communications, or security. - With professional advisors or implementation partners if you request or authorize that coordination. - To comply with law, enforce site terms, protect rights, prevent abuse, or respond to lawful requests. - In connection with a business transfer, reorganization, or similar event, subject to appropriate protections. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. ## International Processing statesideops.com may be accessed from outside the United States. Information submitted through the site may be processed in the United States and other countries where Stateside Operator or its service providers operate. Privacy laws may differ from those in your country, but we aim to handle personal information with practical, reasonable safeguards. ## Retention We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, evaluating assessment requests, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we will delete, de-identify, or securely retain it only as required for legitimate business or legal reasons. ## Security We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No website, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure, so please avoid submitting sensitive or regulated information through the site. ## Your Choices And Rights Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent for certain personal information.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. ## Contact For privacy questions or requests, use the contact method published on statesideops.com.
