- Analytics and website interaction information. We use third-party services, including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, to help us understand how visitors use our Site and improve its performance and functionality. These services may collect information about website visits, clicks, scrolling, navigation, and other interactions with our Site.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through our Site unless it is necessary for a specific business purpose and permitted by applicable law. We also ask that you avoid submitting sensitive or unnecessary personal information through forms or other communications on our Site.
How do we receive information about you?
- When you voluntarily provide us your personal details in order to register on our Site;
- When you use or access our Site in connection with your use of our services;
- From third party providers, services and public registers (for example, traffic analytics vendors).
What information we collect?
We collect two kinds of information:
Information you give us directly:
- Your name, phone number, and business email address
- Business details you share with us — company name, website, industry, and what you need help with — through our contact form, phone calls, or email
- If you respond to one of our lead ads on Facebook or Instagram, we receive the name, phone number, and business email you entered there
Information collected automatically:
- Basic, anonymous browsing data — including which pages get visited, roughly how long visitors stay — so we can improve the site. We don't use this to identify you personally.
- We don't collect payment card details through the site, and we don't ask for sensitive personal information.
How we use it:
- To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our services
- To prepare proposals and marketing plans, and to run the services you hire us for (ad campaigns, directory listings, social posting)
- To keep you informed of our updates and services — you can opt out of marketing emails anytime by replying "stop" or using the unsubscribe link
- For statistical and analytical purposes, to improve the site
Who we share it with:
We don't sell your information, and we don't share it with anyone except:
- The advertising platforms we run campaigns on (Google, Meta)
- The service providers who help us deliver our work — listings fulfillment, social posting tools, and the email tools we use to communicate with you
- Anyone else, only if the law requires it
- We may also disclose information when we believe it's reasonably necessary to comply with a law or legal request, enforce our agreements, investigate fraud or security issues, defend against legal claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others.

Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal data, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations.
We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.
Cookies
Third party collection of information
Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent you disclose your information to other parties or sites throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Accordingly, we encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party that you choose to disclose information to.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including any of the third parties which we may disclose information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
How do we safeguard your information?
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect and maintain from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.
We limit access to personal information to individuals and service providers who have a legitimate business need to access it, and we take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party service providers handling information on our behalf maintain appropriate safeguards.
We also use third-party services, such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, to help us understand website usage and improve our website. These services may process certain information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable terms.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmitting, storing, or processing information is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent every possible security incident, unauthorized access, or other security threat.
If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the incident and provide any notices required by applicable law.
