We are a U.S.-based digital marketing company that provides media and marketing services to clients nationwide.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps detect spam.

After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract this data from images on the website.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. If you log out, those cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish content, an extra cookie will be stored in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account with them and are logged in.

Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate our website or deliver services. These partners are required to keep your data safe and use it only for the agreed purpose.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.
If you create an account on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including any data you provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold, except for information we are required to keep for legal or security reasons.
