Privacy Policy Agreement

Last updated: March 2024

When you hire a registered agent service like RA Services LLC, you can expect to share some vital information about your company with your registered agent. But that shouldn’t mean sacrificing your privacy or having your data sold to the highest bidder. At RA Services LLC, our number one priority is keeping your personal information safe. We limit the sharing of your private data to third parties to the furthest extent possible under the law, and we never sell our clients’ information (any of it) to independent marketers. This is the basis of our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy below explains how RA Services LLC and its affiliates (collectively “we” and “us”) gather, use, and disclose any information or data we collect from you and about you. It applies to all of the interactions we may have with you including your use of our website, telephone calls, and email exchanges, and includes details about our data collection practices and how we work to keep your information secure.

Privacy Policy

Because this Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service, it governs your use of our services and products (“Services”) and, by using our Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.

If you have a disability that is making it difficult for you to read or use this Privacy Policy, please reach out to us at info@registered-agent.net or 1-888-704-7214.

How We Protect Your Information

Personal information collected by the site is stored in operating environments that are not available to the public. Our online security measures are a major facet of our ongoing commitment to keeping your private data safe.

These security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose your personal information to you. In certain telephone and in person transactions, we may ask for certain client identifiers or other information to verify your identity before conducting the transactions you have requested.

Please understand that while we try our best to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We periodically review our security procedures to consider appropriate technology and methods to secure information.

Our security is built to protect data from unauthorized access, theft, or loss while still prioritizing availability to ensure that systems and data are accessible when needed through the processing of data accurately and completely. We also place an emphasis on confidentiality by limiting access to data based on authorized roles allowing us to protect client privacy through the safeguarding of individuals’ personal information.

Cookies and Other Technologies

Our use of cookies helps us to provide you with a personalized, convenient web browsing experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your device by a web server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. If you register an account with us, a cookie allows us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This facilitates the process of recalling your personal information so that when you return to our website, the information you previously provided can be easily retrieved. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you want to. If you choose not to allow cookies, this may impact your ability to log into your account or experience the full interactive features of our Services.

We also employ a technology called web beacons or “clear gifs” that help us track referrals from our partners and affiliates and better manage content on our website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track online movements of web users.

Our partners and affiliates may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your activities on our site. The use of tracing technologies by our service providers, technology providers or other third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy.
