Who We Are and Scope
The House of Gremory Consulting (“Gremory,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a California-based consulting firm that helps cannabis businesses navigate licensing, compliance, inspections, METRC onboarding, and operational readiness. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through our website houseofgremory.com, our contact channels, and in the course of providing services to prospective and current clients and their personnel.
We are a “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (collectively, “CCPA”). For some activities, we act as a “service provider” or “contractor” to our clients—when that is the case, we process personal information under our client’s instructions and our client’s privacy policy applies.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by the CCPA. |
Job Applicant Data | Resumes, contact details, work history, references, optional demographic info you choose to provide. | You; references you authorize. | Recruiting, hiring, and compliance with employment laws. |

- Licensing & Compliance: When you hire us for licensing or compliance, we may collect and prepare sensitive disclosures (e.g., government ID numbers, ownership/financial interest information, background documentation) solely to meet city and state requirements. We store such materials securely and disclose them only to you, your authorized designees, our service providers, and the applicable regulators.
- METRC & Operational Systems: If you authorize us to access systems such as METRC, POS, or security platforms, we act as your service provider and access only what is reasonably necessary to perform the requested services.

Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information (e.g., access controls, encryption in transit, least-privilege practices, and vendor diligence).
