3. Cookies Analytics and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies. Some are necessary for site

performance.

The website currently uses or integrates technologies that may include:

• Google services, including Google Site Kit, Google Analytics or related tagging, Google Ads conversion
  measurement, Google Maps, and Google-hosted fonts. These services may collect device identifiers, IP
  address, browser and usage information, location information, and interaction or conversion data in

4. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following recipients for the purposes described in this Policy:

  of control, or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
• Other persons at your direction or with your consent.

We do not sell personal information for money. Our use of analytics and advertising technologies may be
considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar regulated disclosure under
certain privacy laws. Where such laws apply, you may exercise the relevant opt-out right as described below.

5. International and Cross Border Processing

Strata Vertex supports projects in the United States and Canada and may use personnel, affiliates, or service
providers located in other countries, including India. Personal information and project materials may
therefore be accessed, stored, or processed outside the state, province, or country where they were collected.
Those locations may have different privacy laws, and information may be subject to lawful access by courts,
law-enforcement agencies, or regulators in those jurisdictions. We use contractual, organizational, and
technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the services provided.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this
Policy, including to provide services, maintain project and quality records, comply with contractual and legal
obligations, establish or defend legal claims, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods
vary based on the type of information, the project lifecycle, client requirements, applicable limitation
periods, tax and accounting rules, and security needs. When information is no longer required, we delete,
anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our processes and applicable law.

7. Information Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal
information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include
access restrictions, authentication controls, secure hosting, backups, monitoring, confidentiality
obligations, and appropriate vendor controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and
we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use an agreed secure transfer method when sending confidential
project documents or sensitive information.

8. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Communication and cookie choices

• You may opt out of non-transactional marketing emails by using the unsubscribe method in the message or
  contacting us. We may still send service, project, legal, or administrative communications.
• You may manage cookies through browser controls and, when available, our website preference tool. You may
  also use privacy controls made available by Google, Microsoft, or other technology providers.

Privacy requests

Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have the right to request access to or
confirmation of personal information we process; correction of inaccurate information; deletion; a portable
copy; restriction or objection; withdrawal of consent; and an opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising,
or certain profiling. You may also have the right to appeal a decision on your request and to receive equal
service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right.

To submit a request, email info@stratavertex.com with the subject
line “Privacy Request” or use the contact details in Section 14. Describe your request and the
relationship through which you interacted with us. We may need to verify your identity and authority before
responding. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of
authorization and direct verification with the individual. If we deny an appealable request, you may appeal by
replying to our decision and stating “Privacy Appeal.”

9. Additional Information for United States
Residents

This section supplements the rest of the Policy for residents of U.S. states with comprehensive consumer
privacy laws. The rights and disclosures in this section apply only to the extent the relevant law applies to
Strata Vertex and the particular information.

Categories collected and disclosed

We collect these categories from you, your organization or project contacts, our website and technologies,
service providers, referrals, and public or professional sources. We use them for the purposes described in
Section 2. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through the website and do not use or
disclose sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about an individual.

For purposes of state privacy laws, we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. In the
preceding 12 months, website analytics or advertising technologies may have received identifiers, Internet or
network activity, approximate geolocation, and related inferences in a manner that some laws define as sharing
or targeted advertising. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16.

California notice

California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain information about
categories of personal information collected, sources, purposes, and recipients, as well as to opt out of sale
or sharing. California residents may also have rights concerning sensitive personal information and authorized
agents. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable right. California’s
“Shine the Light” law may permit residents to request information about certain disclosures for
direct-marketing purposes; Strata Vertex does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own
direct marketing in the manner covered by that law.

10. Additional Information for Canadian Residents

Where Canadian privacy law applies, Strata Vertex is accountable for personal information under its control.
We identify the purposes for collection, limit collection to what is reasonably necessary, use or disclose
information for identified or otherwise permitted purposes, maintain appropriate safeguards, and retain
information only as necessary. Depending on the circumstances and applicable federal or provincial law, you
may request access to and correction of your personal information, ask questions about our practices, or
withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

If information is processed outside Canada, it may be accessible to foreign courts, law-enforcement agencies,
or regulators under local law. To ask about our handling of Canadian personal information or our service
providers outside Canada, contact us using Section 14. You may also have the right to complain to the Office
of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the applicable provincial privacy regulator.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and professionals and are not directed to children under
13 or any higher minimum age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from
children through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we
can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. Third Party Websites and Services

Our website may link to or embed third-party websites and services, including maps, professional platforms,
or client and vendor resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices and are not
controlled by this Policy. We encourage you to review those notices before providing information.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technologies, practices, or legal
obligations. We will post the revised version on our website and update the “Last updated” date. If
a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice when required
by law.
