4. TARGETED ADVERTISING AND “SHARING”

We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for:

  • Audience measurement
  • Analytics

Certain state privacy laws define targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising as “sharing.”

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. 

However, we may “share” personal information as defined under certain state privacy laws for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, including through the use of advertising pixels, cookies, and similar technologies.

 

You may opt out of targeted advertising by:

  • Adjusting browser cookie settings
  • Using opt-out links provided in our Cookie Notice
  • Submitting a privacy rights request via our contact page

 

The opt out settings for Google ads are handled in Google. You may opt out of Google Ads by following these instructions:

To opt out of retargeting Google Ads, you can adjust your Google account settings or use the Google Play Store app. 

Google Account Settings: Visit the My Ad Center page by typing “My Ad Center” on the Google search bar. Click on the switch at the top right to turn off personalized ads. 

Google Play Store App: Open the Google Play Store app, tap on your profile picture, select “Personalization in Play,” and turn off “Web & App Activity” or “Your device details.” 

By following these steps, you can stop Google from using your app activity to target ads at you.

To opt out of targeted Meta Ads: Ad Preferences: Go to your Meta Facebook and Instagram Settings > Accounts Center > Ad Preferences > Ad Settings. Turn off “Ads shown off Meta” or “Activity information from ad partners.”

Where required by applicable state privacy laws, we recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a valid request to opt out of targeted advertising or sharing of personal information.

5. AI PROCESSING DISCLOSURE

We use AI technologies for:

  • Chat assistance
  • Workflow automation
  • Marketing optimization
  • Lead routing
  • Content generation

AI systems may:

  • Process user-submitted information
  • Analyze interaction patterns
  • Generate automated outputs

We do not make legal, financial, or similarly significant decisions solely through automated processing.

Where legally required, you may request human review of automated decisions.

6. Call Recording and AI-Based Transcription

We may record telephone calls, virtual meetings, or other voice communications involving our team and clients for purposes including quality assurance, documentation, training, dispute resolution, service delivery, and operational improvement.

Where calls are recorded:

  • Audio recordings may include voice data and communication content.
  • Calls may be transcribed using artificial intelligence or automated transcription tools.
  • Transcripts may contain inaccuracies due to the nature of AI-generated output.

Recorded calls and transcripts may be stored within our internal systems, CRM platforms, or secure cloud infrastructure operated by third-party service providers.

We do not intentionally collect or use biometric identifiers, voiceprints, or voice recognition data for identification purposes. 

Some third-party platforms or communication technologies used in connection with our Services may have the technical capability to analyze voice or video data in ways that could qualify as biometric processing under certain laws. However, we do not use such technologies to identify individuals, authenticate identity, or create biometric templates.

To the extent voice or video recordings are collected, they are used solely for communication documentation, service delivery, quality assurance, training, compliance, and operational purposes. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise commercially exploit biometric data.

Where applicable law requires specific consent for the collection of voice or video data that may be considered biometric information, we rely on notice and consent mechanisms consistent with applicable law.

Any voice data processed is used solely for communication documentation and service-related purposes.

We rely on our clients to provide any legally required call recording notices or obtain any required consent under applicable federal or state law where such recordings involve client customers or third parties. If you are unsure whether a call is being recorded, you may request clarification at the beginning of the call.

Call recordings and transcripts are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for business, contractual, legal, or compliance purposes, after which they are deleted or securely archived in accordance with our data retention practices.

By participating in a recorded call where notice has been provided, you acknowledge and consent to such recording and transcription to the extent permitted by law.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our Services, fulfill contractual obligations, maintain business records, comply with applicable laws, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and protect our legal rights.

Because our Services may involve long-term client relationships and archival project materials, certain information may be retained for extended periods unless deletion is requested in writing or otherwise required by law.

Personal information stored within third-party platforms (including hosting providers, CRM systems, advertising platforms, analytics tools, AI systems, payment processors, and cloud infrastructure providers) is retained in accordance with the respective third-party provider’s data retention policies.

We do not maintain automated deletion schedules for all categories of information. Data collected and maintained within our internal systems may be retained until it is no longer reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes or until deletion is requested by the client, subject to applicable legal, accounting, regulatory, or dispute resolution requirements.

Backup archives may retain data for operational continuity and disaster recovery purposes and may not be immediately accessible for routine deletion.

Retention periods vary depending on the category of personal information and the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, contractual, operational, and regulatory considerations.

8. DATA SECURITY

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards.

However:

  • No transmission is 100% secure
  • Users are responsible for safeguarding login credentials
  • We comply with applicable breach notification laws if required

Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel and service providers who require such access to perform business functions.

We may share personal information with:

  • Hosting providers
  • CRM platforms

When personal information is transferred outside of your state, province, or country of residence, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect such information in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may include contractual data protection obligations with service providers, confidentiality commitments, security measures, and other legally recognized transfer mechanisms where required.
