1. INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Genio Group, Inc. ("Genio Group," "we," "us," or "our"), operating under the trade name and service mark Lenzo, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Lenzo Compliance Monitoring Platform accessible at lenzo.ai (the "Platform" or "Services").
This Policy applies to all users of the Platform worldwide, including visitors to our website and registered subscribers. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
Controller Information:
Genio Group, Inc. is the data controller responsible for the use of cookies and tracking technologies described in this Policy.
Contact Information:
For questions, concerns, or requests related to this Policy, contact us at: support [at] lenzo.ai
Governing Law and Jurisdiction:
This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America. Any disputes arising from or related to this Policy shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California.
Territorial Scope:
This Policy applies to users worldwide. Where specific regional requirements apply (EU/EEA, UK, California, Canada, Australia), we implement measures to ensure compliance with local laws while maintaining operational consistency.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:
- YOU ASSUME FULL AND SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES ON THE PLATFORM.
- GENIO GROUP, INC. AND LENZO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO COOKIES, TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, OR DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SUCH TECHNOLOGIES.
- YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND POLICIES IN YOUR JURISDICTION.
- ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DATA COLLECTION, STORAGE, PROCESSING, AND THIRD-PARTY ACCESS, ARE BORNE EXCLUSIVELY BY YOU.
7. DO NOT TRACK (DNT) AND GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC)
7.1 Do Not Track (DNT)
Do Not Track (DNT) is a browser setting that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. The Platform recognizes DNT signals sent by your browser.
Platform Response to DNT: When a DNT signal is detected:
- Analytics Cookies: Automatically disabled. Google Analytics, Mixpanel, PostHog, and Sentry tracking will not be activated.
- Marketing Cookies: Automatically disabled. No advertising or retargeting cookies will be set (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, AI platforms).
- Functional Cookies: Remain available but require explicit consent if DNT is enabled.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Remain active as they are essential for platform operation.
Enabling DNT in Your Browser:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Send websites a "Do Not Track" signal that you don't want to be tracked
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Website tracking > Prevent cross-site tracking (automatically enabled)
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Send "Do Not Track" requests
7.2 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a privacy signal that allows users to automatically exercise their opt-out rights under privacy laws like CCPA/CPRA. When enabled, GPC sends a legally binding signal that you do not want your personal information sold or shared.
Platform Response to GPC: When a GPC signal is detected:
- Marketing Cookies: Automatically blocked. No marketing, advertising, or retargeting cookies will be set (including Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and AI platform cookies).
- Analytics Cookies: Automatically blocked if they involve sharing data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- CCPA/CPRA Opt-Out: Automatically honored. GPC is treated as a valid "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request.
- Functional and Strictly Necessary Cookies: Remain active as they are necessary for service delivery or do not involve selling/sharing personal information.
Enabling GPC: GPC is supported by privacy-focused browsers and browser extensions:
- Browsers: Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox (with extension), Safari (with extension)
- Browser Extensions: Privacy Badger, OptMeowt, Global Privacy Control Extension
Legal Recognition: GPC signals are legally recognized under CCPA/CPRA in California and under similar laws in other US states (Colorado, Connecticut, etc.). We honor GPC signals as legally binding opt-out requests.
8. IMPACT OF DISABLING COOKIES
Disabling cookies affects platform functionality depending on the category:
8.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Impact if Disabled: The Platform will not function. You will be unable to log in, access your account, manage compliance monitoring, view dashboards, or use any platform features. These cookies are essential for service delivery and cannot be disabled if you wish to use the Platform.
Technical Reason: Strictly necessary cookies maintain your authenticated session, prevent security attacks (CSRF), and ensure requests are routed to the correct servers.
8.2 Functional Cookies
Impact if Disabled: The Platform will function, but your experience will be degraded. Your preferences will not be saved between sessions, requiring you to reconfigure settings (language, dashboard layout, notification preferences, theme) each time you visit.
Technical Reason: Functional cookies store your personalized settings. Without them, the Platform defaults to standard configurations on every visit.
User Action Required: If functional cookies are disabled, you must manually set your preferences on each visit. Core functionality (compliance monitoring, sanctions screening, product classification, reporting) remains fully accessible.
8.3 Analytics Cookies
Impact if Disabled: No impact on core platform functionality. You will have full access to all compliance monitoring, sanctions screening, product classification, reporting, and dashboard features. Disabling analytics cookies only prevents us from collecting usage statistics to improve the Platform.
Technical Reason: Analytics cookies collect data for our internal use to improve user experience and identify issues. They do not affect your ability to use Platform features.
Benefit to User: Disabling analytics cookies enhances your privacy by preventing behavior tracking and data sharing with third-party analytics providers (Google, Mixpanel, PostHog).
8.4 Marketing Cookies
Impact if Disabled: No impact on platform functionality. You will continue to receive full access to all features and services. Disabling marketing cookies only prevents personalized advertising and conversion tracking.
Technical Reason: Marketing cookies track your interaction with our marketing campaigns and enable retargeting on external websites. They have no role in Platform operation.
Advertising After Opt-Out: You may still see generic (non-targeted) advertisements for Lenzo on external websites, social platforms, and AI platforms, but these ads will not be based on your browsing behavior or Platform usage.
9. LEGAL BASES AND REGIONAL COMPLIANCE
We process cookies based on different legal frameworks depending on your location.
9.1 European Union, European Economic Area, and United Kingdom (GDPR/ePrivacy Directive/UK PECR)
Legal Bases:
Contractual Necessity (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): Strictly necessary cookies are processed to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Terms of Service. These cookies are essential to provide the Services you have subscribed to.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies require your explicit, informed, and freely given consent. Consent is requested through our cookie banner upon your first visit. We implement "prior consent" — non-essential cookies are not placed on your device until you explicitly consent. Consent must be granular (per category), specific, informed, unambiguous, and freely given. You may withdraw consent at any time.
ePrivacy Directive Compliance: We comply with ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended) Article 5(3), which requires prior consent for cookies except those strictly necessary for service delivery. This directive takes precedence over GDPR as lex specialis for cookies.
UK PECR Compliance: For users in the United Kingdom, we comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), which implement ePrivacy requirements in UK law and operate alongside UK GDPR.
Your Rights:
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Access information about cookies and data collected
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest (if applicable)
- Lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority (EU/EEA) or the Information Commissioner's Office (UK)
9.2 California, United States (CCPA/CPRA)
Legal Framework: The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), governs the use of cookies for California residents.
Key Differences from GDPR: CCPA/CPRA uses an opt-out model rather than opt-in consent. We do not require prior consent for most cookies, but we provide opt-out mechanisms for cookies that involve "selling" or "sharing" personal information.
"Selling" or "Sharing" Under CCPA/CPRA: Marketing cookies and certain analytics cookies that share data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute "selling" or "sharing" personal information under CCPA/CPRA. This includes data shared with Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and AI platform providers. We provide an opt-out mechanism for these activities.
Your Rights:
- Right to Opt-Out: Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information collected through cookies.
- Right to Know: Request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected through cookies.
- Right to Delete: Request deletion of personal information collected through cookies (subject to exceptions for necessary data).
- Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: Limit the use of sensitive personal information (if applicable).
- Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercise your rights without discrimination in service, pricing, or quality.
Notice at Collection: This Cookie Policy serves as our Notice at Collection for information collected through cookies. We collect the following categories of personal information through cookies: identifiers (cookie IDs, IP addresses), internet activity (browsing behavior, page views), and device information (browser type, operating system).
Minors (Under 16): If you are under 16 years old, we require opt-in consent before placing non-essential cookies. If you are under 13, we require parental consent. The Platform is designed for business users and is not directed to minors.
Age Verification: We do not implement age verification mechanisms because the Platform is not directed to minors and is accessed through corporate accounts.
California Minors (Under 16): If we learn that we have placed cookies on the device of a California resident under 16 years of age without opt-in consent (or parental consent for those under 13), we will immediately delete those cookies and any data collected through them.
Parental Notice: If you believe your child under 18 has provided personal information through our Platform or that we have placed cookies on their device, contact us immediately at support [at] lenzo.ai. We will take prompt action to delete the cookies and associated data.
COPPA Compliance: While the Platform is not subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) due to its B2B nature and lack of targeting to children, we adhere to the principles of COPPA and will not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
9.3 Canada (PIPEDA)
Legal Framework: Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in the course of commercial activities.
Consent Requirement: PIPEDA requires meaningful consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information. We obtain express consent for non-essential cookies through our cookie banner.
Your Rights:
- Withdraw consent at any time (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
- Access personal information collected through cookies
- Challenge the accuracy of personal information
- File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
9.4 Australia (Privacy Act)
Legal Framework: Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) govern the handling of personal information.
Consent Requirement: We obtain consent for cookies that collect personal information, in accordance with APP 3 (collection of solicited personal information) and APP 6 (use or disclosure of personal information).
Your Rights:
- Access personal information collected through cookies
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Make a privacy complaint to us or to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
9.5 Other Jurisdictions
For users in jurisdictions not specifically mentioned above, we apply privacy-protective practices consistent with internationally recognized privacy principles. We obtain consent for non-essential cookies and provide opt-out mechanisms where required by local law.
10. YOUR RIGHTS

11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
11.1 Cross-Border Transfers
Many of our third-party service providers (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, PostHog, Sentry, Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, xAI) are based in the United States. When you use the Platform, cookies may transfer data to servers located outside your country of residence, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.
Primary Data Processing Locations:
- United States (Google, Mixpanel, PostHog, Sentry, Meta, LinkedIn, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, xAI, and other advertising platforms)
- European Union (Google, PostHog, and other providers may process in EU data centers for EU users)
11.2 Transfer Mechanisms for EU/EEA and UK Users
We implement appropriate safeguards to protect your data during international transfers:
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We have executed Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR with third-party providers that process data outside the EEA. SCCs are contractual commitments between data exporters and importers ensuring adequate data protection.
UK International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum: For data transfers from the UK, we implement the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, as required by UK GDPR and UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidance.
Supplementary Measures: In addition to SCCs, we implement supplementary technical and organizational measures:
- Encryption: Data transmitted to third-party servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256.
- Access Controls: Strict access controls limit who can access data transferred internationally.
- Data Minimization: We transfer only data necessary for the specified purpose.
- Contractual Obligations: Third-party providers are contractually obligated to implement adequate security measures and comply with data protection laws.
EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF): Some third-party providers participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (formerly Privacy Shield). Where applicable, we rely on DPF as an additional transfer mechanism. However, we primarily rely on SCCs as our transfer mechanism to ensure compliance regardless of DPF status.
11.3 Your Rights Regarding International Transfers
Users in the EU/EEA and UK retain all rights under GDPR/UK GDPR regarding data transferred internationally, including:
- Right to be informed about the transfer
- Right to access data held by international recipients
- Right to request that international transfers be stopped (subject to contractual and legal limitations)
- Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority regarding international transfers
