We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on site, and general location (city/region level). This data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.

These rights may include the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, the right to delete that information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.
To submit a privacy rights request, email us at hello@grantabusiness.com. We will respond within 45 days.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted data storage and secure connections. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data from unauthorized access.
In the event of a data breach that is reasonably likely to result in harm to you, we will notify you by email at the address you provided as soon as practicable and in accordance with applicable law.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
