6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or interactions with the website.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookie TypePurposeCan You Opt Out?
Essential Cookies Enable core Website functionality such as page navigation and form submission. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. No — required for the Website to function
Analytics Cookies Collect anonymized information about how visitors use the Website — pages visited, time spent, navigation paths — to help us improve the Website. We use analytics platforms such as Google Analytics or similar services. Yes — via browser settings or opt-out tools
Preference Cookies Remember your preferences (such as language or display settings) to improve your experience on return visits. Yes — via browser settings

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, to alert you when cookies are being set, or to delete existing cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features of the Website.

For information on managing cookies in your specific browser, please visit your browser provider's help documentation. To opt out of Google Analytics, visit: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked. Digerati Technologies currently does not respond to DNT signals because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will revisit this position as industry standards evolve.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Contact form inquiries (IR / investor) 3 years from the date of receipt, or longer if required by securities law or investor relations obligations
Contact form inquiries (general business) 2 years from the date of receipt, unless an ongoing business relationship warrants longer retention
Website analytics data 26 months from the date of collection (standard Google Analytics retention) or as configured
Server log files 90 days from collection, unless required for a security investigation or legal matter
Legal and compliance records As required by applicable law — generally 7 years or longer for records subject to SEC or other regulatory retention requirements
Aggregated / de-identified data Indefinitely — as this data cannot be used to identify individuals

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights with respect to the personal information we hold about you. We are committed to honoring these rights where they apply.

8.1 Rights Available to All Users

Regardless of where you are located, you may:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, legitimate business needs)
  • Objection: Object to certain uses of your personal information, including direct marketing
  • Opt-Out of Analytics: Opt out of analytics data collection by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or using available opt-out tools

8.2 California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

California Residents: Additional Rights Under the CCPA and CPRA If you are a California resident, you are entitled to additional privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These rights are set forth below.

As a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
  • Delete: Request deletion of personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions
  • Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information. You therefore have no personal information to opt out of selling under CCPA
  • Opt-Out of Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes
  • Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CPRA
  • Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your California privacy rights

To submit a California privacy rights request, please contact us at rdelvecchio@digerati-inc.com with the subject line "California Privacy Rights Request." We will respond within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request.

California's "Shine the Light" Law: California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about the disclosure of their personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Digerati Technologies does not disclose personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes, so no such disclosure record exists.

8.3 Rights for International Users

If you are located outside the United States, particularly in jurisdictions with applicable data protection laws (such as the EU/EEA General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Canada's PIPEDA, or similar frameworks), you may have additional rights with respect to your personal information.

Digerati Technologies' Website is operated from the United States and is intended primarily for users in the United States and users seeking to invest in or do business with a U.S.-listed company. While we make good-faith efforts to accommodate privacy requests from all users, our Website is not specifically designed for or targeted at EU/EEA residents, and we do not currently maintain a formal GDPR compliance framework. If you are located in the EU/EEA and have privacy concerns, please contact us at rdelvecchio@digerati-inc.com and we will address your inquiry to the best of our ability.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the privacy rights described in this section, please contact us at:

We will respond to verified privacy requests within 30 days (or within the timeframe required by applicable law). We may need to verify your identity before processing your request by asking you to confirm information you have previously provided to us.

9. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Our security measures include:

  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data transmitted between your browser and the Website
  • Restricted access to personal information — limited to Digerati employees and authorized service providers who need it to perform their job functions
  • Regular review and testing of our security systems and procedures
  • Secure destruction of personal information when it is no longer required
Important Security Notice No method of data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at rdelvecchio@digerati-inc.com.

In the event of a data security breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

10. International Data Transfers

Digerati Technologies, Inc. is headquartered in the United States and processes personal information primarily within the United States. However, given our subsidiaries' operations in Costa Rica and Latin America (In Pursuit), Africa, and the Middle East (Ricochet Global), personal information collected through the Website may be accessed by Digerati employees, subsidiaries, or service providers located in these jurisdictions.

If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that the United States has different data protection laws than those in your home country. By submitting a contact form inquiry or otherwise providing personal information through the Website, you consent to the transfer and processing of your personal information in the United States and in any other jurisdiction where Digerati or its subsidiaries or service providers operate.

We will take appropriate measures to ensure that any international transfer of personal information is conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws and that adequate protections are in place for the personal information being transferred.

11. Third-Party Websites & Linked Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including OTC Markets (otcmarkets.com), TheNewswire, financial data platforms, and the websites of our subsidiaries (waivcloud.com and ricochetglobal.com). This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through digerati-inc.com.

Third-party websites and services have their own privacy policies and data practices that are independent of Digerati Technologies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit before providing any personal information.

The inclusion of a link to a third-party website on our Website does not constitute an endorsement by Digerati Technologies of that website's privacy practices.

12. Children's Privacy

This Website is intended for use by adults and is not directed to, and does not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 (or such other age as may be required by applicable law in your jurisdiction).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take prompt steps to delete such information from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at rdelvecchio@digerati-inc.com so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Digerati Technologies, Inc. reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our business practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document
