1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Sojisphere Solutions LLC (“Sojisphere,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you visit https://sojispheresolutions.com, read our blog, contact us, or otherwise interact with our corporate website and related business communications (collectively, the “Website”). This Policy does not govern the separate PODremit™ website, mobile application, payment platform, or future transactional services. PODremit™ has separate policies available on podremit.com.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Contact information, including your name, email address, telephone number, company, title, and location.

• Communications and inquiry information, including messages, partnership inquiries, meeting requests, feedback, and correspondence.

• Business and professional information supplied by prospective partners, vendors, advisers, investors, lenders, contractors, or job applicants.

• Documents and other information you voluntarily provide. Do not send payment credentials, government identification, health records, or other sensitive information unless we specifically request it through an approved secure process.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, we, and our website providers may receive technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP address, and diagnostic or security logs. Our Cookie Policy explains the technologies currently present on the Website.

Information from other sources

We may receive business contact information from referrals, event organizers, publicly available professional sources, and service providers supporting communications, due diligence, or relationship management.

3. How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website.

• Respond to inquiries and communicate about Sojisphere, its innovation portfolio, partnerships, research, funding, careers, or other requested topics.

• Evaluate prospective partners, vendors, advisers, applicants, and business opportunities.

• Manage meetings, records, contracts, and business relationships.

• Detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents, fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.

• Comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, and establish or defend legal claims.

• Send updates or promotional communications when permitted; you may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

4. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers and contractors that support website hosting, content delivery, security, embedded media, communications, document management, and professional services; to professional advisers, auditors, insurers, lenders, investors, or transaction counterparties when reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate safeguards; to government, regulatory, law-enforcement, or judicial authorities when required or permitted by law; to a successor or participant in a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar event; and to other persons at your direction or with your consent.

The Website currently uses WordPress, Hostinger-hosted tools, the Astra theme, Elementor website-building components, and an embedded YouTube video. Those providers may process technical information under their own terms and privacy notices.

5. Sale and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information for money. Based on the Website configuration reviewed as of the Effective Date, we do not intentionally use the Website for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. If this practice changes, we will update this Policy and provide any notice, consent, or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.

6. Legal Bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on consent; steps taken at your request before entering a contract; performance of a contract; compliance with legal obligations; and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and communicating about the Website and our business, balanced against your rights.

7. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business and security records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention varies by record type and legal need. When information is no longer required, we delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to backups and lawful holds.

8. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information in light of its nature and the risks involved. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use caution when sending information by ordinary email.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection; withdraw consent; opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling; and appeal a denied request. These rights may be subject to exceptions and identity verification. To submit a request, email privacy@sojispheresolutions.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and state your request and place of residence. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

10. California Residents

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to Sojisphere or a particular processing activity, California residents may have rights to know, correct, delete, and receive information about collection and disclosure, and to opt out of sale or sharing. Sections 2 through 5 describe the categories of information collected, sources, purposes, and recipients. We do not claim that statutory thresholds apply merely because this notice describes those rights.

11. Children

The Website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

12. International Visitors

Sojisphere is based in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate. Where required, we use a lawful transfer basis and honor applicable data-subject rights. This paragraph does not mean that any PODremit™ payment corridor or transactional service is operational.

13. Third-Party Sites

The Website may link to third-party sites, including podremit.com, or display third-party content. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices. A link or embedded feature does not mean that Sojisphere controls the third party.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy when our Website, providers, or legal obligations change. We will revise the Effective Date and provide additional notice of material changes where required. Changes apply prospectively from their stated effective date.
