3. Information We Collect

3.1 Personal Information

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express interest in obtaining information about us or our services, when you participate in activities on our website, or otherwise when you contact us. The personal information we collect may include: first name, last name, email address, phone number, business name, business URL, services needed, marketing budget, and any messages or inquiries you submit.

 

3.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information, including: UTM parameters, the page on which you converted, referrer URL, submission date and time, and user identification data through our proprietary tracking system. This information helps us understand how visitors interact with our website and improve our services.

 

3.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information about your interactions with our website. These technologies include: Google Analytics (for website analytics and user behavior), Microsoft Clarity (for session recording and heatmaps), BlotOut/Edgetag (for privacy-focused data collection), and various social media pixels for advertising purposes.

Important: We utilize server-side rendering and data processing, which means that data collected through these technologies is protected, cleaned, and scrubbed before being transmitted to any third-party platforms. We are committed to minimizing the personal data shared with external services and maintaining strict data protection standards.

 

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to provide, operate, and maintain our website and services; to respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests; to send you marketing and promotional communications (with your consent); to improve, personalize, and expand our website and services; to understand and analyze how you use our website; to develop new products, services, features, and functionality; to process transactions and send related information; to comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights; and to prevent fraudulent activity and ensure the security of our website.

 

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, including: GoHighLevel (customer relationship management and marketing automation), Stripe (payment processing), QuickBooks (accounting and invoicing), and analytics providers (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). These service providers have access to your personal information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

 

6. Data Protection and Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These measures include server-side data processing that protects, cleans, and scrubs data before transmission; encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS protocols; restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis; and regular security assessments and updates. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures.

 

7. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including: the right to access the personal information we hold about you; the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information; the right to request deletion of your personal information; the right to opt out of marketing communications; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

 

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell; the right to delete personal information we have collected from you; the right to opt out of the sale of personal information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights. To submit a request, please contact us at [email protected].

 

10. Do Not Track Signals

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
