1. Scope and Introduction

This policy applies to all personal information processed through our website, client onboarding, service delivery, and related communications. "Personal information" means data that identifies you or your business (e.g., name, email, business address). By using our site or services, you agree to these practices. If you disagree, please discontinue use. We may update this policy; changes will be posted here with the new date, and material changes notified via email if you're a client.
 

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what's necessary to deliver high-ROI marketing and improve your experience:

  • Information You Provide Directly:

    • Contact details: Name, email address, phone number, business name, physical address, website URL.

    • Service-related: Marketing goals, content for posting (e.g., images, text, promotions), website access credentials (securely handled), business performance data (e.g., current leads, ad spend insights).

    • Communications: Messages, form submissions, audit requests, or strategy discussions.

    • Payment and billing: If applicable for partnerships, card details or bank info (processed securely via third-party providers; we don't store full card numbers).

  • Automatically Collected Information:

    • Technical data: IP address, browser type/version, device information, operating system, referral source.

    • Usage data: Pages viewed, time on site, clicks, scroll behavior, session duration.

    • Location data: Approximate geolocation from IP (for local SEO relevance, e.g., tailoring to your region).

  • Information from Third Parties:

    • Ad platforms: Performance metrics from Google Ads, Facebook/Meta (e.g., impressions, clicks, conversions).

    • Analytics tools: Aggregated insights from Google Analytics or similar.

    • Public sources: Business listings, directories, or social profiles for research (e.g., SEO keyword opportunities).

    • Integrations: Data from linked accounts (e.g., Google Business Profile, social media) with your authorization.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., race, health, religion) unless voluntarily provided and relevant to your business services.
 

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data drives measurable growth for your business:

  • Service Delivery: Optimize SEO and ads, manage website updates, schedule and post content, develop strategies, launch promotions/referrals/campaigns.

  • Client Management: Onboarding, reporting (e.g., monthly performance dashboards), strategy consultations.

  • Communications: Respond to inquiries, send free audits, updates, tips, or service-related notifications (with easy opt-out).

  • Improvement and Analytics: Analyze site usage and service effectiveness to refine tools (e.g., identifying top-performing ad creatives).

  • Personalization: Customize recommendations based on your industry or location (e.g., local search tactics for nationwide SMBs).

  • Security and Compliance: Detect fraud, enforce terms, audit access, or meet legal obligations.

We process data on legal bases like contract fulfillment (your partnership), legitimate interests (analytics for better results), or consent (marketing emails).
 

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We never sell your personal information. Sharing is limited and protected:

  • Service Providers and Partners: With trusted vendors for operations, e.g.:

    • Google/Meta for ads and analytics.

    • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) for secure transactions.

    • Hosting (e.g., Wix) and tools (e.g., email services).

    • All under strict contracts requiring data protection.

  • With Your Consent or Direction: E.g., posting your content publicly, sharing reports with your team, or integrating with your platforms.

  • Business Transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or asset sale (you'll be notified; data remains protected).

  • Legal and Safety Reasons: To comply with laws, court orders, subpoenas; prevent harm; or protect rights/property (e.g., intellectual property in your content).

  • Aggregated or Anonymized Data: Non-identifiable stats for benchmarks (e.g., "Average SMB lead growth nationwide").

For CCPA: California residents have rights to know, delete, and opt-out of "sales" (we do not sell; for any "sharing" in ads, contact us).
 

5. Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking Technologies

We use:

  • Essential: For site functionality (e.g., form submissions).

  • Performance/Analytics: Google Analytics to understand usage.

  • Advertising: Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager for retargeting and ad optimization.

  • Functional: Remember preferences.

You can manage via browser settings, Do Not Track signals, or opt-out tools (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-out). Third-party policies apply — review Google or Meta for details. We don't use tracking for unrelated purposes.
 

6. Data Security and Retention

  • Security Measures: Industry-standard protections including SSL/TLS encryption, firewalls, secure servers, access controls, and regular vulnerability scans. Payment data is tokenized (PCI-compliant via providers).

  • Risks: No system is 100% secure; we mitigate but can't guarantee against all threats.

  • Breach Response: If a breach affects your data, we'll notify you and authorities as required by law (e.g., within 72 hours if high-risk).

  • Retention: We keep data as long as needed for services, disputes, or legal reasons (e.g., 7 years for tax/audit records post-termination). Then, securely delete or anonymize.
     

7. Your Rights and Choices

Nationwide USA focus, with state-specific nods:

  • Access, Correction, Deletion: Request a copy, updates, or removal of your data (exceptions: legal retention).

  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from emails; disable cookies; withdraw consent for tracking.
