Granite Ridge Holdings ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals who interact with our platform, services, and divisions. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage with any of our service divisions. By accessing or using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please discontinue use of our platform immediately. This policy applies to all five Granite Ridge Holdings service divisions: Real Estate Investment, Property Management, Heirship & Asset Recovery, Notary & Signing Services, and Technology & Automation Solutions.

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you submit inquiries, complete intake forms, request appointments, upload documents, or otherwise interact with our platform. This may include: Personal Identification Information: Full name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. Professional and Financial Information: Investor type, investment range, property details, business name, and project scope — collected only when relevant to the specific division service you are engaging with. Case and Legal Information: For Heirship & Asset Recovery matters, we may collect case-related details, estate information, and documentation necessary to evaluate and process your inquiry. All such information is handled with absolute discretion. Appointment and Scheduling Information: For Notary & Signing Services, we collect appointment preferences, document types, and location details necessary to fulfill your service request. Technical Information: We may automatically collect certain technical data when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is used solely for platform performance and security purposes. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to deliver the specific service you have requested.

Information collected through our platform is used exclusively for the following purposes: Service Delivery: To process your inquiry, route your request to the appropriate division specialist, and deliver the service you have requested. Communication: To respond to your inquiries, confirm appointments, provide status updates, and send follow-up communications related to your active engagement. Internal Operations: To maintain accurate records, manage our internal workflows, assign appropriate team members, and ensure quality service delivery across all divisions. Platform Improvement: To analyze usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, and enhance the overall user experience on our platform. Legal and Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations, including those related to notarial services, real estate transactions, and estate matters. We do not use your information for unsolicited marketing, third-party advertising, or any purpose unrelated to the service you have engaged with.

Granite Ridge Holdings does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for commercial purposes. Your information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances: Internal Division Routing: Your inquiry may be shared internally between Granite Ridge Holdings operational teams to ensure it is handled by the appropriate specialist. All internal team members are bound by confidentiality obligations. Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating our platform, processing forms, or delivering services. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your information and may not use it for any other purpose. Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others. Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change and your rights under this policy will be preserved. We do not expose internal company structure, legal entities, or operational details in any communications or disclosures.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include: Encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS protocols for all form submissions and communications. Access controls that limit internal access to your information to only those team members who require it to fulfill your service request. Secure form processing through vetted third-party infrastructure with established data protection standards. Regular review of our data handling practices to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable security standards. While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining the highest practical standards of data protection. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at inquiries@graniteridgeholdings.com.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For general inquiries and contact form submissions, information is retained for a period of up to 24 months from the date of last interaction. For active service engagements — including property management, heirship matters, notary services, and technology projects — information is retained for the duration of the engagement and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by applicable law or professional standards. For notarial records, retention periods are governed by applicable state law and professional notarial standards, which may require records to be maintained for extended periods. Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, your information will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, including: Right of Access: The right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Right of Correction: The right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information we hold about you. Right of Deletion: The right to request that we delete your personal information, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.
