Effective date: November 11, 2026 Website: www.global1solutions.net

1. Introduction

GLOBAL 1 SOLUTIONS LLC ("Global 1 Solutions," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent merchant services consulting company based in Madison, Wisconsin. We help businesses evaluate, select, implement, and manage payment acceptance and related business technology solutions through independent providers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, safeguard, and retain information through our website, inquiries, consultations, and communications.

2. Our Consulting Role

We provide advisory, referral, application assistance, implementation coordination, and ongoing merchant support. Our services may involve merchant account placement assistance, processing cost analysis, POS and e-commerce technology, cash discount programs, chargeback solutions, ATM placement, and business funding referrals. We are not an acquiring bank or direct credit card processor. Independent authorized providers perform underwriting, transaction processing, settlement, and other applicable financial services.

3. Information We Collect

• Contact details: name, job title, company, email, telephone number, business or mailing address, and communication preferences.

• Business details: industry, processing volume, existing processor and POS system, operational needs, and information submitted in inquiries or consultations.

• Application information: ownership, identification, banking, or financial information when necessary for requested third-party applications; sensitive information should be provided through secure provider portals.

• Technical data: IP address, device/browser information, cookies, and website usage information to the extent collected by our website technologies.

• Messaging data: mobile number, consent choices, date and method of opt-in, message history, and opt-out status.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to answer inquiries, provide consulting and recommendations, compare available solutions, facilitate requested provider applications, coordinate onboarding, schedule appointments, deliver support, maintain records, improve operations, prevent fraud, comply with law, and send marketing messages only where appropriate consent exists.

5. Disclosures to Independent Service Providers

To fulfill your requests, we may disclose relevant business and application information to payment processors, acquiring banks, merchant account providers, POS vendors, e-commerce platforms, funding providers, chargeback vendors, and contracted professional or technology providers. Independent providers may process information under their own privacy notices and agreements. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect legitimate rights and security. These disclosures do not authorize independent marketing use of SMS opt-in data.

6. SMS Communications and Consent

With appropriate consent, we may send non-marketing messages about inquiries, appointment scheduling and confirmations, requested merchant services information, and customer support. With separate express consent, we may send marketing messages about merchant services consulting, POS systems, payment acceptance solutions, and promotional offers. Providing a phone number alone is not consent to marketing SMS; marketing consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for assistance, or contact us using the details below.

7. Mobile Information and SMS Non-Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, or text messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared for third-party marketing. Contracted messaging platforms and carriers may access information solely to administer and deliver our messages, not for their own marketing.

8. Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No electronic system is completely secure. Do not send sensitive bank credentials, full payment card data, Social Security numbers, or other confidential application data by ordinary SMS or unsecured forms. We retain information as reasonably necessary for services, records, legal requirements, disputes, and compliance; SMS consent and suppression records may be retained to honor communication choices.

9. Cookies, Third-Party Links, and Privacy Choices

Our website may use cookies or similar tools to support functionality and measure activity; browser settings may offer controls. Links to independent providers are governed by their own policies. Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of certain information and may withdraw marketing consent at any time. We may verify identity

before processing requests.

10. Children, Changes, and Contact

Our website is intended for business users and adults and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

We may update this policy and post a revised effective date. For privacy inquiries, contact GLOBAL 1 SOLUTIONS LLC, Madison, Wisconsin, USA; phone 608-520-4956; email derrick@global1solutions.us; website www.global1solutions.net.
