4. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
We may use artificial intelligence, automation, analytics, or similar tools to help operate our business, draft content, analyze campaign performance, summarize communications, improve workflows, or support customer service.
We do not use personal information to train publicly available general-purpose artificial intelligence models unless we have obtained appropriate rights or consent or the information has been aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified. If a third-party AI or automation provider processes information for us, we use reasonable efforts to select providers that offer appropriate confidentiality, security, and data protection commitments.
5. How We Share Information
We may share personal information as described below:
- Service providers and vendors. We may share information with providers that help us operate our business, including website hosting, email, SMS, CRM, analytics, advertising, payment processing, scheduling, content production, customer support, cloud storage, security, accounting, and professional services.
- Advertising and analytics partners. We may share information with advertising, measurement, and analytics partners to help deliver, measure, and improve content, campaigns, and offers.
- Clients and business partners. If we provide services on behalf of a client or collaborate with a partner, we may share information as needed to perform the services, fulfill a request, or complete a project.
- Third-party platforms you connect or use. If you interact with us through social media, payment processors, scheduling tools, webinar platforms, community platforms, or other third-party services, those services may process your information under their own terms and privacy policies.
- Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect rights or property, investigate fraud or security issues, enforce agreements, or protect the safety of any person.
- Business transactions. We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
- With your consent. We may share information for other purposes with your direction or consent.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising, which may be considered a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" under some privacy laws. You may have the right to opt out as described below.
SMS and Phone Number Privacy
We do not sell phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent. We do not share text messaging originator opt-in data or consent with third parties for their independent marketing purposes. We may share such information only with vendors, aggregators, carriers, and service providers as needed to provide messaging services, comply with law, prevent fraud or abuse, or fulfill your requests.
6. Marketing Communications and Your Choices
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP or using any other opt-out instructions provided in the message.
Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-marketing messages, such as transactional, service, security, legal, or account-related communications.
You may also be able to control targeted advertising through cookie settings, browser controls, device settings, platform settings, or industry opt-out tools. If we recognize a legally required universal opt-out signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will process it as required by applicable law.
7. Retention of Information
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, enforcing agreements, protecting our rights, and supporting legitimate business needs.
The retention period depends on the type of information, the purpose for collection, the sensitivity of the information, applicable legal requirements, and the risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure. We may retain aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information indefinitely.
8. How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.
No website, system, transmission, or storage method is completely secure. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below.
9. Children
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
If a jurisdiction requires a higher age threshold, we will comply with that requirement where applicable.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Services may link to websites, platforms, tools, or services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We may respond to other legally recognized opt-out signals where required by law.
12. International Transfers
The Feed Media is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
