Governing Jurisdiction: [WY / USA]

1. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

1.1  This Privacy Policy describes how GREEN NATION COLLECTIVE CORP  
(operating as “Green Nation Collective”), together with its affiliates and related entities to the extent applicable (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, receives, uses, stores, transfers, discloses, retains, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with https://greennationcollective.com/ and the Green Nation Collective Platform, including our public website (such as the landing, about, manifesto, events, Ideation Lab, and certifications pages) and the multi-step founder intake and application form, together with any related websites, portals, applications, content, features, and communications (collectively, the “Services”).

1.2  This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is subject to a separate privacy notice, employment-related information, or information processed solely on behalf of partner organizations under a separate written agreement, except to the extent this Policy is expressly incorporated into such arrangement.

1.3  By using the Services, submitting the founder intake form, or otherwise providing information to us, you acknowledge the collection and processing practices described in this Privacy Policy, subject always to any rights or choices you may have under applicable law and to the consents you provide at the time of submission.

2. CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

2.1  Identifiers and contact information, including name, alias, email address, telephone number, and similar identifiers you provide.

2.2  Founder and application information, including the information you submit through the founder intake and application form, such as your venture or business name and description, stage, goals, and the structured and open-text responses you provide regarding your needs (for example, funding or mentorship) and any business or financial information you choose to include.

2.3  Consent and agreement records, including records of the consents, acknowledgments, and agreements you provide when you submit the intake form, maintained for consent tracking.

2.4  Device, browser, and usage information, including IP address, approximate geolocation derived from IP, browser and operating system details, device identifiers, pages viewed, links clicked, timestamps, session duration, error logs, and related telemetry maintained for security and auditability.

2.5  Sensitive information, if any, only to the extent specifically requested through a workflow that discloses such collection and the lawful basis for processing. Unless clearly stated otherwise, we do not seek to collect sensitive information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about individuals.

3. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

3.1  Directly from you when you submit the intake or application form, request information, contact us, or otherwise interact with the Services.

3.2  Automatically through cookies, local storage, server and platform logs, and similar technologies used for authentication, session continuity, security, fraud prevention, and analytics, as further described in our Cookie Notice.

3.3  From service providers that support the Services on our behalf, such as our website platform provider (Webflow), to the extent applicable and lawfully permitted.

4. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

4.1  To operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services, including the public website and the Ideation Lab.

4.2  To receive, review, evaluate, and respond to founder applications, and to manage applicant records, which are held within our website platform (Webflow) and shared with our team by email.

4.3  To communicate with you regarding your application, the program, events, support requests, legal notices, policy changes, and — where permitted — other relevant matters.

4.4  To prevent, investigate, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, or terms violations, and to comply with law, legal process, tax or accounting obligations, and reasonable corporate-governance or transaction-diligence requirements.

5. LEGAL BASES AND CONSENT MECHANICS

5.1  Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more lawful bases for processing, including performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests that are not overridden by your rights, and consent where consent is required.

5.2  Where we rely on consent — including the consent you provide when submitting the intake form — you may withdraw that consent using available settings, the consent-management mechanism, or by contacting us, provided that withdrawal will not affect processing already lawfully undertaken before withdrawal.

5.3  Where legitimate interests are relied upon, such interests may include operating and improving the Services, protecting systems and users, and managing ordinary business administration in a proportionate manner.

6. DISCLOSURES TO THIRD PARTIES

6.1  We may disclose personal information to service providers and contractors that perform services on our behalf, including our website and hosting platform (Webflow), event-management tools (such as Whova) where applicable, email and communications tools, accountants, auditors, and legal advisors.

6.2  We may disclose information within our corporate group and to transaction counterparties or advisors in connection with financing, diligence, restructuring, sale of assets, merger, acquisition, or similar strategic events.

6.3  We may disclose information to government agencies, courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other third parties when we determine disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect legal rights, investigate wrongdoing, or prevent harm.

6.4  We may disclose deidentified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual, subject to applicable law and our commitments regarding reidentification.

7. COOKIES, ADVERTISING, AND ANALYTICS

7.1  We and our providers use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions — including session continuity, security, and form functionality — as well as functional preferences. The platform does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising cookies; if such tools are added in the future, we will update our Cookie Notice and obtain any consent required before non-essential cookies are set.

7.2  Where legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are deployed only after the user has been given the requisite disclosures and choice mechanisms. Your browser or device may also offer settings to block or delete certain technologies, though doing so may affect site functionality.

7.3  If the Services use third-party analytics technologies that support interest-based or cross-context behavioral advertising, additional opt-out rights or browser signals may apply depending on your jurisdiction.

8. RETENTION, SECURITY, AND DATA GOVERNANCE

8.1  We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, including to review and administer applications, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.

8.2  Retention periods may vary by data category, sensitivity, business need, and legal requirement. We may retain limited information for backup, archival, fraud prevention, audit, or evidentiary purposes where reasonably necessary.

8.3  We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or access, including secure storage, access controls and role-based permissions, audit logging, and encryption in transit (HTTPS). No security program, however, can guarantee absolute security, and users should use caution when transmitting information over the internet.

9. RIGHTS AND CHOICES

9.1  Depending on where you reside, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, portability of, restriction of, or objection to certain processing of your personal information; to appeal a denial of your request; or to opt out of certain profiling, targeted advertising, or sales/sharing activities.

9.2  We may take steps to verify your identity and authority before honoring a rights request and may deny or limit a request as permitted by law, including where an exemption or exception applies or where we cannot reasonably verify the request.

9.3  You may designate an authorized agent where permitted by law. We may require proof of such authority and may still verify the request directly with the relevant individual.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS; CHILDREN; CHANGES; CONTACT

10.1  If the Services are operated from or supported by personnel, vendors, or infrastructure located in more than one jurisdiction, personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the user’s country of residence, subject to lawful transfer mechanisms where required.

10.2  The Services are intended for founders, businesses, and other adults, and are not directed to children under the age specified by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us information improperly, contact us so we may take appropriate steps.

10.3  We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updated version will be posted with an updated effective or last-updated date, and material changes may also be communicated through the Services or by other appropriate means.

10.4  Questions, complaints, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy may be directed to GREEN NATION COLLECTIVE CORP, Attn: Privacy Officer, 5830 E 2ND ST STE 7000 31343 CASPER, WY 82609
