Transparency

1. Our Commitment

Honesty is one of our core values, so we are direct about something many companies leave unsaid: what happens to the information you share with us, who else can see it, and how we respond if someone — including a government or law-enforcement agency — asks us to hand it over. This page explains that in plain language. It works alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers what we collect and why.

2. What Information We Hold

We are a small marketing agency, and we collect only what we need to respond to you and run our business:

• Information you send through our contact form, such as your name, email, company, and message.
• Your email address, if you sign up to receive our updates.
• Standard server logs, such as IP address and browser type, created automatically when you visit the Site.
• Basic usage data — such as the pages you view and general device type — through Google Analytics, unless you have opted out.

We do not collect sensitive personal information, and we do not build advertising profiles about you. For the full picture, see our Privacy Policy.

3. Service Providers We Rely On

To run the Site and respond to you, we rely on a small number of established providers. Each one processes only limited information on our behalf, under its own security and privacy commitments, and only to provide its service to us:

• Vercel — hosts and serves the Site.
• Resend — delivers the emails we send, such as contact confirmations.
• Cloudflare — helps protect our forms from spam and abuse.
• Upstash — helps us limit automated and abusive form submissions.
• Google — “Google Analytics,” measures how visitors use the Site, with Google’s advertising features turned off.

These providers process information only on our behalf, not for their own advertising. Separately, we use the Meta (Facebook) advertising pixel to measure and improve our advertising. Unlike the providers above, Meta may use the limited information it receives for its own purposes — which is why we treat it as “sharing” and give you a way to opt out (see Section 5 below and our Privacy Policy). If we add or change a provider, we will update this page.

4. Government and Legal Requests

As a U.S. business, we may receive a request from a government body or law-enforcement agency for information we hold. When that happens, our approach is straightforward:

• We respond only to valid legal process — such as a subpoena, court order, or similarly binding legal request. We decline informal requests that have no legal basis.
• We disclose only the minimum information the law actually requires — never more.
• Where the law allows it — that is, where no court order or gag provision prevents us — we will notify you before disclosing your information, so you can seek your own legal advice.
• If a request appears overly broad or legally invalid, we push back before responding.

5. What We Do Not Do

To be unambiguous:

• We do not sell your personal information for money.
• We use exactly one advertising pixel — the Meta (Facebook) pixel — to measure and improve our own advertising. Under California law this counts as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you can opt out at any time through our “Your Privacy Choices” control or by sending a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor both, and the pixel does not load when you have opted out. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
• Besides that pixel and Google Analytics — both disclosed above and in our Privacy Policy, and both switched off when you opt out or send a GPC signal — we run no other, hidden tracking on the Site.
• We do not build hidden access or “backdoors” into how we handle your information.

6. Contact for Legal Requests

Government authorities and legal representatives can direct formal legal requests to hello@dc-marketing.io. To help us respond, please include the issuing authority, the legal basis for the request, a reference or case number, and the specific information sought. For all other questions, our contact form is the fastest way to reach us.

7. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

This statement works alongside our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect and how we use it; this statement explains what happens when a third party — such as a government or law-enforcement agency — asks us to disclose it. If anything here seems to conflict with the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy governs how we handle your personal information.
