Right of rectification under PIPEDA

Additional Disclosures for UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) Compliance (UK)

Data Controller / Data Processor

Third-Party Provided Content

We may indirectly collect personal information about you from third-parties who have your permission to share it. For example, if you purchase a product or service from a business working with us, and give your permission for us to use your details in order to complete the transaction.

We may also collect publicly available information about you, such as from any social media and messaging platforms you may use. The availability of this information will depend on both the privacy policies and your own privacy settings on such platforms.

Additional Disclosure for Collection and Use of Personal Information

In addition to the aforementioned purposes warranting the collection and use of personal information, we may also conduct marketing and market research activities, including how visitors use our site, website improvement opportunities and user experience.

Personal Information No Longer Required for Our Purposes

If your personal information is no longer required for our stated purposes, or if you instruct us under your Data Subject Rights, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you (“Anonymization”). However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific, or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.

Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Information

Data Protection and Privacy Laws permit us to collect and use your personal data on a limited number of grounds.. In which case, we will collect and use your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We never directly market to any person(s) under 18 years of age.

Our lawful bases depend on the services you use and how you use them. This is a non-exhaustive list of the lawful bases we use:

Consent From You

Where you agree to receive marketing communications from us, we will do so based solely on your indication of consent or until you instruct us not to, which you can do at any time.

Performance of a Contract or Transaction

Our Legitimate Interests

Where we assess it is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as for us to provide, operate, improve and communicate our services. We consider our legitimate interests to include research and development, understanding our audience, marketing and promoting our services, measures taken to operate our services efficiently, marketing analysis, and measures taken to protect our legal rights and interests.

Compliance With the Law

In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to use or keep your personal information. Such cases may include (but are not limited to) court orders, criminal investigations, government requests, and regulatory obligations. For example, we are required to keep financial records for a period of 7 years. If you have any further enquiries about how we retain personal information in order to comply with the law, please feel free to enquire using the details provided in the Contact Us section of this privacy policy.

International Transfers of Personal Information

The personal information we collect is stored and/or processed in the United Kingdom by us. Following an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the UK has been granted an essentially equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed under UK GDPR.

On some occasions, where we share your data with third parties, they may be based outside of the UK, or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). These countries to which we store, process, or transfer your personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.

If we transfer your personal information to third parties in other countries:

we will perform those transfers in accordance with the requirements of the UK GDPR (Article 45) and Data Protection Act 2018;
we will adopt appropriate safeguards for protecting the transferred data, including in transit, such as standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) or binding corporate rules.

Your Data Subject Rights

Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information if (i) you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) you believe your personal information has been unlawfully processed; (iii) you need us to maintain the personal information solely for the purpose of a legal claim; or (iv) we are in the process of considering your objection in relation to processing on the basis of legitimate interests.

Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal information that is based on our legitimate interests or public interest. If this is done, we must provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your interests, rights, and freedoms, in order to proceed with the processing of your personal information.

Right to be Informed: You have the right to be informed with how your data is collected, processed, shared and stored.

Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you at any time by submitting a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). The statutory deadline for fulfilling a DSAR request is 30 calendar days from our receipt of your request.

Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you can ask for your personal data to be erased from the records held by organizations. However this is a qualified right; it is not absolute, and may only apply in certain circumstances.

State rights requests: verification & appeals (CO/VA/CT)

We verify requests by matching information you provide with our records. If we deny your request, you may appeal by emailing Dan@RetailSolved.com with ‘Privacy Appeal’ in the subject. We will respond within the timelines required by law.

When may the right to erasure apply?

When the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed for.
If consent was the lawful basis for processing personal data and that consent has been withdrawn. Category Management Solutions, CMS4CPG LLC relies on consent to process personal data in very few circumstances.
The Company is relying on legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing personal data and an individual has exercised the right to object and it has been determined that the Company has no overriding legitimate grounds to refuse that request.
Personal data are being processed for direct marketing purposes e.g. a person's name and email address, and the individual objects to that processing.
There is legislation that requires that personal data are to be destroyed.

Right to Portability: Individuals have the right to get some of their personal data from an organization in a way that is accessible and machine-readable, for example as a csv file. Associated with this, individuals also have the right to ask an organization to transfer their personal data to another organization.

However, the right to portability:

only applies to personal data which a person has directly given to Category Management Solutions, CMS4CPG LLC in electronic form; and
onward transfer will only be available where this is “technically feasible”.

Right to Rectification: If personal data is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete, individuals have the right to correct, update or complete that data. Collectively this is referred to as the right to rectification. Rectification may involve filling the gaps i.e. to have to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. This may involve adding a supplementary statement to the incomplete data to highlight any inaccuracy or claim thereof.

This right only applies to an individual's own personal data; a person cannot seek the rectification of another person's information.

Notification of data breaches: Upon discovery of a data breach, we will investigate the incident and report it to the UK's data protection regulator and yourself, if we deem it appropriate to do so.

Complaints: You have the right, at any time, to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance using the details below. Please provide us with as much information as you can about the alleged breach. We will promptly investigate your complaint and respond to you, in writing, setting out the outcome of our investigation and the steps we will take to deal with your complaint.

Membership Agreement

Parties and Website
This Membership Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between CMS4CPG LLC (also trading as Category Management Solutions, “Retail Solved,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), with principal place of business at 6732 W Coal Mine Ave #12, Littleton, CO 80123, and the individual or entity that purchases or accesses a membership (“Member” or “you”), for use of the membership areas and community available on RetailSolved.com (the “Site”).

Scope of Membership
Membership may include access to (i) members-only content and resources, (ii) community features (e.g., BuddyBoss), (iii) digital downloads/e-books, (iv) online courses or course bundles, and (v) live or scheduled “office hours”/mastermind sessions. Specific inclusions depend on the plan selected at checkout and as described on the Site.

Accounts and Eligibility
You must provide accurate registration information and keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Membership is intended for adults; by enrolling, you represent that you meet the minimum age required in your locale.

Membership is for individuals 16+ (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher). You represent you meet this requirement.

Single-User & Technical Limits

Memberships are single-user and non-transferable. Account sharing isn’t permitted. We may apply reasonable technical limits (e.g., concurrent session/device/IP checks) to prevent abuse.

Plan Terms; Billing; Auto-Renewal
Fees, billing frequency, and plan features are shown at checkout and on your account screen. Unless otherwise stated, memberships auto-renew for successive periods equal to the initial term and your payment method will be charged at the then-current price. Payments are processed via approved processors (e.g., Stripe). Taxes and any applicable VAT/GST may be added at checkout.

Trials and Promotions
Any free trial or promotional pricing is subject to the terms shown at sign-up and applies once per member unless we state otherwise.

Access Rules; Fair Use
Memberships are single-user licenses (one natural person). Account-sharing, resale, or providing access to third parties is not permitted. We may implement reasonable technical limits (e.g., device/session/IP checks) to prevent abuse.

Community Standards (BuddyBoss/BBpress/Memberpress) and Moderation
Be respectful and professional. No harassment, spam, hate speech, or unlawful content. We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend/terminate accounts to protect the community. You may appeal a moderation decision by contacting support.

User-Generated Content (UGC) License
If you post or upload content in the community, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and reproduce such content to operate and promote the community and the Site, subject to your privacy rights.

If you have copyright concerns please email Dan@RetailSolved.com with ‘Copyright Notice’, your contact, a link/screenshot of the content, and a statement you own/represent the rights. We’ll review in good faith.

Our Content and IP
All Site content (including courses, tools, downloads, and recordings) is owned by us or our licensors. Members receive a limited, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable license to access and use content for their own internal business or personal use as described for their plan. No scraping, bulk downloading, re-distribution, re-licensing, or use to train AI/ML models.

Office Hours / Mastermind Sessions
Participation may be limited by capacity. We may record sessions for enrolled members’ replay access; by attending, you consent to being recorded and to our use of the recording solely to provide replays and maintain community quality.

Refunds; Cancellations
Refund requests for memberships are handled under our Refund Policy. As configured, the Member may request a refund within 30 days of first purchase for the initial term of a new membership; renewals are generally non-refundable. Consulting-style or bespoke services are excluded from refunds. You may cancel future auto-renewals at any time via your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term, and your account shows your next renewal date.

Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access for non-payment, violation of this Agreement, or misuse of the Site/community. Upon termination, your membership access ends; any downloads already provided remain subject to the EULA.

By using this website you confirm you’re not subject to U.S. sanctions and will not use the Site in violation of U.S. export laws.

Disclaimers
Content is provided “as is” for educational/informational purposes only. We make no guarantees of results as a consultant or expert guide.

Refund Policy

Business name: Category Management Solutions (CMS4CPG LLC), operating as Retail Solved
Website: RetailSolved.com
Effective date: October 26, 2025

1) Scope

This Refund Policy applies to purchases made on RetailSolved.com, including:

Digital downloads (e-books, PDFs, tools/templates)
Online courses (self-paced and cohort/live)
Memberships/community access (including office hours/mastermind)

If you purchased through a third-party marketplace or app store, their refund rules may apply and you may need to request the refund through that platform.

Local consumer rights
We honor non-waivable consumer rights in your place of residence. Where local law grants you additional rights, this policy will apply to the extent permitted and will not limit those statutory rights.

2) General 30-Day Window

Unless a product-specific rule below applies, you may request a refund within 30 days of purchase. After 30 days, refunds are not available. We may request reasonable information (e.g., order ID, screenshots of technical errors) so we can investigate and resolve issues in good faith.

3) Product-Specific Rules

A. Digital Downloads

Refunds are available within 30 days only if (a) the file was not successfully delivered, (b) the download link failed and we could not provide a working replacement, or (c) the file is materially defective.
EU/UK digital content: If you are in the EU/UK, by clicking “Buy Now” or accessing the download link you expressly consent to immediate delivery of digital content and acknowledge that you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal once the download or streaming begins. Where you do not provide that consent and we delay delivery accordingly, you retain the 14-day right of withdrawal unless and until delivery starts.

B. Online Courses

Self-paced courses: Refunds are available within 30 days provided you have not substantially consumed the course. “Substantially consumed” means any of the following:
- Completing more than 20% of lessons (by video watch-time or lesson completions recorded by the platform), or
- Downloading more than 20% of course assets (templates, workbooks, PDFs).

If you cross either threshold, the course is considered consumed and is not refundable.

Cohort/live components: If your purchase includes live sessions, refunds are available within 30 days provided you have not attended more than one live session. “Attended” means you joined a live call for 10 minutes or longer or accessed a replay for 10 minutes or longer.
Where a course includes downloadable materials, the Digital Downloads rule also applies.

C. Memberships & Community (including Office Hours)

First-time membership purchases are refundable within 30 days.
Renewals are generally non-refundable. You can cancel at any time to prevent future renewal: access continues through the end of the current paid term.
Refunds are not available for no-shows to office hours or missed booking windows; we may allow rescheduling per the booking rules posted in your account.

D. Consulting/Custom Work (if ever offered)

No refunds for consulting or bespoke/custom services (not the primary offering). If such services are added in the future, a separate agreement will govern.

4) Discounted Items and Bundles

Discounted items follow the same rules as full-price items (eligible within 30 days subject to the product-specific rules above).
Bundles (e.g., “all e-books” bundle) are refunded only if the bundle as a whole meets the applicable conditions; partial bundle refunds are not available. For carts containing multiple product types (e.g., a course plus a download), each line item follows the rules for that product type.

5) Subscriptions & Cancellations

Subscriptions (memberships or course subscriptions) may be refundable for the first term within 30 days as above.
Renewals are non-refundable. Cancel any time in your account to stop the next charge. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term, and your account screen shows your next renewal date and cancellation status.
Proration is not guaranteed; where offered, it will be stated at checkout or your account page.

6) How to Request a Refund

Email Dan@RetailSolved.com with the subject “Refund Request,” and include:

Order ID, purchase email, and date of purchase
Product(s) you want refunded
Reason for the request (and screenshots or error messages, if applicable)
We will confirm receipt and assess eligibility.

7) Processing Times & Method

We aim to review requests and issue a decision within 3–7 business days of receiving all required information.
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method; bank/processor timelines may add several business days.
Currency is USD; your bank may apply exchange rates/fees outside our control.

8) Abuse, Fair Use & Chargebacks

We’re committed to fair outcomes. If you’re considering a chargeback or dispute, please contact us first—most issues are resolved quickly with a replacement link or access restoration.
We reserve the right to decline or reverse refunds in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, excessive consumption, or policy-evasion (e.g., repeated downloading followed by refund requests).
If you initiate a chargeback while a refund review is in progress, we may close the request and contest the chargeback with the payment processor.
Fair use: To protect our courses and digital goods, we may decline or reverse refunds where there is evidence of excessive consumption followed by refund requests, sharing/redistributing materials, or other misuse. This does not limit any non-waivable consumer rights.

9) Technical Issues

If you experience access or download issues, please contact support first; most issues are resolved by resending links or restoring access.

Email: Dan@RetailSolved.com
Business address: 6732 W Coal Mine Ave #12, Littleton, CO 80123
