Privacy Policy

Draft policy prepared for Marketing Codes. Review with legal counsel before publication and update the effective date.

1. Who we are

Marketing Codes (“we”, “us”) operates the website marketingcodes.io. We are headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States. This policy explains what personal information we collect through the website, how we use it and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

• Information you give us: when you submit a contact or strategy-call form we collect your name, email address, company, website and any message you include.
• Information collected automatically: standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, timestamps) and, where you consent, analytics data via cookies or similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy.
• Information from third parties: if you contact us via LinkedIn or Instagram we receive the information those platforms share with us.

3. How we use information

• To respond to your enquiry and arrange a call.
• To provide services you have engaged us for, and to manage our relationship with you.
• To improve the website and understand how it is used.
• To send you information about our services where you have asked for it or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so; you can opt out at any time.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal basis (where applicable)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal information on the basis of your consent (for marketing and non-essential cookies), the performance of a contract or steps before entering one (responding to enquiries, delivering services), our legitimate interests (operating and improving the website, communicating with business contacts), and legal obligations.

5. Sharing

We share personal information only with service providers who process it on our behalf — hosting, form delivery, email, analytics and CRM providers — under contracts that restrict their use of it; with professional advisers; and where required by law. We do not sell personal information.

6. International transfers

We are based in the United States and our providers may process data there and elsewhere. Where we transfer information from the EEA, UK or other regions with transfer restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

7. Retention

We keep enquiry information for as long as needed to respond and, where you become a client, for the duration of our relationship and a reasonable period afterwards for legal and accounting purposes. Analytics data is retained according to the provider's settings.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and certain other US states have rights under applicable state privacy laws, including the right to know, delete and opt out of sale or sharing (we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising). To exercise any right, contact us using the form on our website. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

10. Children

Our website and services are directed at businesses and are not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised.

12. Contact
