Artifax Media does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

If our use of advertising technologies becomes subject to such requirements, we will provide any legally required notices and choices.

When Artifax Media manages digital marketing services for a client, we believe the client's business assets should remain under the client's ownership whenever reasonably possible.

These assets may include:

• Domain names
• Websites
• Google Ads accounts
• Google Business Profiles
• Google Analytics accounts
• Google Search Console accounts
• Customer data
• Advertising data

Artifax Media may be granted administrative or management access to these systems in order to perform services.

Access granted to Artifax Media does not transfer ownership of the client's digital assets unless a separate written agreement explicitly states otherwise.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes such as:

• Responding to inquiries
• Maintaining business relationships
• Providing services
• Keeping appropriate business records
• Resolving disputes
• Maintaining security
• Complying with legal obligations
• Enforcing agreements

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

However, no website, internet transmission, storage system, or electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights concerning your personal information.

These may include rights to:

• Request access to certain personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Request information about how personal information is used
• Request information about categories of third parties receiving information
• Opt out of certain forms of advertising or data processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Even where a particular privacy law does not require us to provide a specific right, Artifax Media will make reasonable efforts to respond to legitimate requests concerning information you have directly provided to us.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

If you provide contact information to Artifax Media, we may communicate with you regarding:

• Your inquiry
• A requested audit
• A consultation
• Services you expressed interest in
• An existing business relationship

Where applicable, marketing emails will provide a method to unsubscribe from future promotional communications.

Even if you unsubscribe from promotional communications, we may still send transactional or service-related messages when necessary.

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Artifax Media does not control the privacy practices of those third parties.

When you visit another website, that organization's privacy policy and terms govern your use of that website.

We encourage you to review third-party privacy policies before providing personal information.

Artifax Media provides business-to-business marketing services and our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that information from a child under 13 has been collected through our website, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
