Privacy Policy

At 898 Marketing, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of information about our customers, as well as the data of our customers, website visitors, prospective customers, business contacts, vendors, and other individuals who interact with our websites, online forms, advertising, marketing, consulting, communications, events, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). We take the following steps to safeguard the privacy of information, both online and offline:

• Notifying customers, website visitors, and other users when we are requesting information from them, including the type of information we are requesting and the purpose for which that information will be used, and providing additional notices or consents where required by applicable law
• Maintaining accurate records and providing access to personal, identifiable, and retainable information online, subject to applicable legal exceptions, verification requirements, contractual restrictions, and the rights described below
• Using secure system technology, physical and electronic, to safeguard the information regarding our customers, including reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction

Our Privacy Policy applies to all information we receive from our customers online and in document form, and to Personal Information that we collect or process through the Services, including through websites, landing pages, online forms, emails, advertising pixels, analytics tools, client portals, service-provider platforms, events, and other interactions. We collect information from our customers or about our customers in instances when a customer initiates an online request for a demonstration, or executes contracts with 898 Marketing, requests information, subscribes to communications, attends an event, submits a form, interacts with our advertising or content, communicates with us, or otherwise uses the Services. In these situations, we collect certain information to verify our customers’ identities and to verify the customer intent for use of our product(s)/service(s). The specific information we collect from customers includes: name, address, phone number and email address, business contact information, company name, job title, billing and payment-related information, inquiry details, communication preferences, IP address, device and browser information, website usage data, advertising and analytics identifiers, cookie IDs, form submissions, call-tracking information, chat or message content, event-registration information, and any other information you choose to provide.

898 Marketing may also use information about our customers for internal business purposes, such as billing, statistics, client services, fraud monitoring, and expanding and improving the products/services offered by 898 Marketing; operating, maintaining, securing, debugging, measuring, personalizing, and improving the Services; responding to inquiries and requests; managing accounts, contracts, projects, campaigns, events, and client relationships; performing analytics, attribution, reporting, audience segmentation, market research, quality assurance, and business intelligence; detecting, preventing, and investigating spam, fraud, security incidents, unauthorized access, unlawful activity, or misuse; complying with legal, contractual, insurance, accounting, tax, professional, and regulatory obligations; and enforcing our agreements, policies, and rights. Additionally, we may use the information, including postal address and/or email address, to send you product information and marketing material, newsletters, thought leadership, event invitations, advertising, and other promotional communications, subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements. (You may opt out of receiving such information by contacting 898 Marketing and completing a written request to be removed from any such list, by using the unsubscribe link in an email where available, by using any preference center or cookie controls that we make available, or by exercising applicable rights described below.)

Information Collected Automatically; Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you visit or interact with our Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect information through cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, server logs, device identifiers, local storage, scripts, APIs, analytics tools, advertising technologies, session-replay tools, heat-mapping tools, call-tracking tools, chatbots, and similar technologies. This information may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, date and time of visits, clicks, cursor movements, scrolling activity, form interactions, approximate location, advertising identifiers, email interactions, call duration, caller identifiers where available, and similar usage data.

We use these technologies to operate and secure the Services, remember preferences, understand website traffic and interactions, improve performance, prevent fraud, deliver and measure advertising, evaluate campaign effectiveness, and personalize content. Some third-party advertising or analytics activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising under certain state privacy laws. Where legally required, we will provide notice and a mechanism to opt out, including recognition of browser-based opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control where required by applicable law.

We do not intend for session-replay, analytics, call-tracking, chatbot, or similar tools to collect sensitive fields such as passwords, payment-card numbers, government identification numbers, or unredacted health information, and we use reasonable configuration settings designed to mask or suppress such fields where those tools are deployed.

Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website: See what data we have about you, if any, Change/correct any data we have about you, Have us delete any data we have about you, Express any concern you have about our use of your data. Depending on where you reside and the context of our relationship with you, you also may have rights to confirm whether we process your Personal Information; access or obtain a portable copy of certain Personal Information; correct inaccuracies; delete Personal Information, subject to legal exceptions; opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling; limit the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information where applicable; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; appeal a denial of a request where applicable; and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

To make a privacy request, contact us at info@898marketing.com or https://www.898marketing.com/contact/. We may ask you to verify your identity or authority before fulfilling a request. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and may ask the consumer to verify identity directly. If we deny a request, you may appeal by contacting us at info@898marketing.com and stating “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line.

Disclosure

We may disclose any of the information we collect from or about you (as described above) to the following types of entities upon written request: regulatory authorities; affiliated or partner companies, such as data bureaus; or an entity that has executed a service or product contract with 898 Marketing for purposes of providing our service(s); affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, cloud, hosting, security, IT, database, analytics, CRM, email, marketing-automation, advertising, social-media, attribution, call-tracking, session-replay, web-development, payment, billing, professional-services, legal, accounting, audit, insurance, and other service providers; clients and business partners in connection with campaigns, projects, reports, attribution, analytics, client services, referrals, and co-branded offerings; advertising networks, publishers, platforms, measurement providers, data providers, and other marketing-technology partners where permitted by law and contract; professional advisors; government authorities, regulators, courts, law enforcement, insurers, auditors, and others when reasonably necessary to comply with law or protect rights; and entities involved in an actual or potential merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, receivership, or similar transaction. We do not disclose the personal identity information data you provide to us via our online software to any third party for any marketing purposes except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, authorized by you or our client, permitted by applicable law, or as necessary for service providers or marketing-technology partners to provide services on our behalf. We do not sell, trade, or distribute the information we collect from you to outside vendors or third parties unrelated to the services provided by 898 Marketing for money; however, certain disclosures to advertising, analytics, or marketing-technology partners may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising under some state privacy laws. Where legally required, we provide notice and a mechanism to opt out of those activities. This type of information may be disclosed to authorized regulatory authorities, upon request, as required by law.

We partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, disclosed to you, authorized by you or our client, or governed by an applicable agreement. We require service providers to process Personal Information in accordance with applicable contractual restrictions and to use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the services they provide.

Client Data and Campaign Data

In providing marketing, advertising, web-development, analytics, hosting, consulting, or related services to clients, we may receive, access, generate, or process information relating to client customers, prospects, website visitors, or campaign audiences. We generally process that information as directed by the client and subject to applicable contracts, data processing terms, confidentiality obligations, and law. Clients are responsible for ensuring that they have provided all required notices, obtained all required consents, and have all necessary rights and lawful bases for information they provide to us or direct us to collect or process.

Connected Accounts, Third-Party Platforms, and AI / Automated Tools

If you or a client authorizes us to connect to or use a third-party account, platform, data source, advertising account, analytics account, CRM, email-marketing platform, social-media account, cloud storage account, content-management system, call-tracking platform, or similar integration, you authorize us and our authorized vendors to access, process, transmit, store, analyze, and use the information made available through that connection for the disclosed Services, client project, operational functions, security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and related purposes. You may revoke permissions as permitted through the Services or the applicable third-party platform, subject to operational limitations, legal requirements, backup retention, and information already processed before revocation.

We may use automated tools, machine-learning systems, generative artificial-intelligence tools, lead-scoring tools, analytics, audience-segmentation tools, fraud-detection tools, chatbots, transcription tools, quality-assurance tools, or other AI-assisted technologies to support business operations, marketing, analytics, quality assurance, communications, security, campaign optimization, and client-service functions. We do not intend for AI-assisted tools to make legally or similarly significant decisions about individuals without appropriate human review. Outputs from AI-assisted tools may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or outdated and should not be relied on without appropriate review. We will not intentionally use connected-account data or identifiable client data to train a third-party general-purpose AI model unless permitted by applicable law, governed by appropriate contractual safeguards, or authorized by the applicable client or user.

Registration

In order to use some of the features on our website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required. We ask that you not provide Sensitive Personal Information unless necessary for the Services or specifically requested by us. Sensitive Personal Information may include information such as precise geolocation, government identifiers, financial account information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health information, biometric data, union membership, citizenship or immigration status, contents of private communications, account credentials, and information about a child. If we need to process Sensitive Personal Information, we will do so only as reasonably necessary for disclosed purposes, as authorized by you or our client, or as otherwise permitted by law.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site unless cookie or device data is linked, combined, or reasonably linkable to a user, device, household, or other identifier, in which case it may constitute Personal Information under applicable law.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies. We may use a cookie banner, preference center, consent-management platform, browser controls, or other mechanisms to present cookie, analytics, advertising, and tracking choices; record consent signals; honor legally required opt-out choices; and respect Global Privacy Control or similar browser-based signals where required by applicable law. Choices may be browser- and device-specific and may not affect non-cookie disclosures or data we process in other contexts.

Aggregate, De-Identified, and Anonymized Data

This Privacy Policy does not restrict our use or disclosure of information that has been de-identified, aggregated, anonymized, or otherwise processed so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. We may generate, use, disclose, and retain such information for any lawful purpose, including analytics, reporting, benchmarking, campaign measurement, product development, security, AI testing, and service improvement, subject to applicable law and contractual restrictions.

Links

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information. The Services may also integrate with third-party platforms, plug-ins, social-media pages, advertising platforms, analytics tools, payment processors, video platforms, mapping providers, chatbot providers, and other third-party services. We do not control the privacy practices of those third parties, and their practices are governed by their own policies and terms.

Children’s Privacy

Only persons age 18 or older have permission to access our Service. Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your Children have provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers. We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age. If a promotion, campaign, or client-directed project involves minors, additional consent, notice, contractual, and legal requirements may apply, and the applicable client or program-specific terms will control to the extent they conflict with this Privacy Policy.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site requests information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Additional rules, eligibility requirements, consent terms, or privacy disclosures may apply to specific surveys, sweepstakes, contests, rewards, promotions, or co-branded programs, and those additional terms will control to the extent they conflict with this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide Services, maintain business records, comply with laws, resolve disputes, support audits, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, preserve security, maintain backups, and satisfy insurance, tax, accounting, professional, and legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the context of collection, contractual requirements, legal requirements, and business needs.

Security and Breach Notification

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No website, system, transmission, or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, or use of Personal Information that triggers a legal notice obligation, we will evaluate and provide notices required by applicable law. We may require vendors and service providers to notify us of suspected or actual security incidents involving information processed on our behalf.

California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of California and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have additional rights depending on their state of residence, the context of our relationship, our role, the type of information, and applicable exemptions. These rights may include rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy of Personal Information, opt out of targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or certain profiling, appeal a denial of a request, and limit or consent to certain processing of Sensitive Personal Information. We will honor rights requests, opt-out preference signals, consent requirements, and appeal rights where required by applicable law.

For California residents, we collect the categories of Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy for the purposes described above, from the sources described above, and disclose those categories to the recipients described above. We may retain each category for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes that would require a right to limit under the CCPA unless we provide notice and the required ability to limit such use or disclosure.

California “Shine the Light” law may permit California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, contact us at info@898marketing.com and include “California Shine the Light Request” in the subject line. Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals unless required by law, but we do respond to legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law.

International Users and Cross-Border Transfers

898 Marketing is based in the United States, and the Services are intended primarily for users located in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that Personal Information may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. Where the laws of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other jurisdictions apply, we will process Personal Information based on appropriate legal bases and will use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers where required.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. Please check this site often to ensure you are accessing the most current version of the policy. If we make material changes, we will provide notice as required by law, which may include posting an updated policy, updating a website notice, sending an email, or obtaining consent where required. The “Last Updated” date will identify the latest version. Your continued use of the Services after a revised Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the revised Privacy Policy.
