Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 30, 2026
Last Updated: August 30, 2026
Zinc Digital Media ("Zinc Digital Media," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, forms, communications, advertising, and services; how we use that information; the parties to whom it may be disclosed; how disclosures are made; and the safeguards we use to protect it.
By using our website, submitting a form, communicating with us, or purchasing or receiving our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
Information You Provide Directly
Contact information: name, business name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and preferred contact method.
Inquiry and lead information: services you are interested in, marketing goals, budget range, business details, project requirements, appointment information, and messages submitted through forms, chat, email, telephone, or text message.
Client and account information: login or account details, contracts, campaign preferences, brand assets, website information, social media information, content, files, and other materials needed to provide services.
Transaction information: products or services purchased, billing address, payment status, invoices, and transaction records. Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors. We generally do not receive or store complete payment-card numbers when a third-party processor handles the transaction.
Communications and marketing preferences: email subscriptions, text-message consent records, opt-in dates and methods, responses, and opt-out requests.
Other information: any information you voluntarily provide to us.
Please do not submit Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, financial account credentials, health information, or other highly sensitive information unless we specifically request it and provide an appropriate secure method for submission.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit or interact with our website or digital communications, we and our service providers may automatically collect:
Internet Protocol (IP) address;
browser, operating system, device type, and device identifiers;
approximate location derived from an IP address;
referring and exit pages;
pages viewed, links clicked, forms started or submitted, and time spent on pages;
dates and times of visits;
cookie identifiers and advertising identifiers; and
email or advertising engagement information, such as opens, clicks, and campaign attribution.
We may collect this information through cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, analytics tools, advertising technologies, server logs, and similar technologies.
Information From Other Sources
We may receive information from referral partners, public business directories, social media platforms, advertising platforms, analytics providers, data or lead providers, payment processors, scheduling tools, and other service providers. We use information obtained from third parties only as permitted by law and any applicable contract.
Information We Process for Clients
Zinc Digital Media may create or operate websites, forms, advertisements, and marketing campaigns for business clients. If you submit information through a campaign for an identified client, we may collect and process that information on the client's behalf and provide it to that client so the client can respond to your request. The client may use the information under its own privacy policy, which you should review. Where Zinc Digital Media acts only as a service provider or processor for a client, the client is responsible for responding to requests concerning its use of the information.
2. How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
respond to inquiries and provide requested information;
prepare quotes, proposals, audits, consultations, or recommendations;
create and manage client relationships and accounts;
provide, personalize, maintain, and improve our services;
build, manage, measure, and optimize websites, advertising, lead-generation campaigns, email campaigns, SMS campaigns, and other marketing services;
route an inquiry or service request to the business identified on or near the form you submitted;
schedule appointments and communicate about projects, accounts, transactions, and support requests;
process payments, maintain transaction records, and prevent billing fraud;
send newsletters, promotional emails, or marketing text messages when permitted by law and consistent with your choices;
understand website usage, measure campaign performance, and improve user experience;
protect our website, clients, users, systems, and business from fraud, abuse, security threats, and unlawful activity;
comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and regulatory obligations;
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
carry out any other purpose disclosed to you when the information is collected or with your consent.
3. Parties to Whom Information May Be Disclosed
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
Service providers and contractors: website hosts, cloud-storage providers, customer relationship management platforms, form and scheduling providers, email and SMS platforms, telecommunications carriers, analytics providers, cybersecurity vendors, payment processors, bookkeeping providers, and other vendors that help us operate our business or deliver services.
Advertising and analytics partners: search engines, social media platforms, advertising networks, and measurement providers when we use their tools for analytics, advertising, retargeting, attribution, or campaign management.
Business clients and lead recipients: when information is submitted through a website, advertisement, or form that we operate for an identified business, we may provide the submitted information and related campaign or attribution data to that business so it can respond to the request. If a form is intended to match you with more than one provider, that fact and the relevant consent will be presented at or before submission where required.
Client-authorized platforms and recipients: platforms, vendors, or individuals you direct us to use or contact while performing services for you.
Professional advisers: attorneys, accountants, auditors, insurers, and consultants who need the information to provide professional services to us.
Government authorities and legal recipients: courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when disclosure is required or permitted by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
Business transaction recipients: a buyer, investor, lender, successor, or adviser involved in an actual or proposed merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
Other parties with your direction or consent: any other recipient you authorize or that we identify at the time of collection.
We do not sell personal information that is unrelated to a clearly disclosed lead-generation or referral service for monetary payment. If a campaign involves transferring inquiry information to a client or provider in a manner that applicable law defines as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising, we will provide the notice, consent, and opt-out method required by law. The use of certain advertising or analytics technologies may also be considered a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where required, we provide or honor applicable opt-out rights.
Mobile and SMS Information
Mobile numbers, text-message opt-in data, and consent records are not sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose this information to telecommunications carriers, messaging platforms, and service providers only as necessary to deliver messages, maintain consent records, provide support, prevent fraud, and comply with law. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchase. You may opt out of marketing texts at any time by replying STOP.
4. How Information Is Disclosed
Depending on the purpose, information may be disclosed through:
secure or encrypted website connections;
access-controlled vendor dashboards or client portals;
authorized software integrations and application programming interfaces (APIs);
payment-processor checkout systems;
password-protected or access-restricted cloud storage;
business email, telephone, or messaging systems; or
legally required submissions to courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other authorized recipients.
We seek to disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the recipient to perform the relevant service or satisfy the applicable purpose. Service providers are permitted to use information only for authorized purposes and are expected to protect it in accordance with their agreements and applicable law.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We may use essential, functional, analytics, and advertising cookies or similar technologies. These tools may remember preferences, keep the website functioning, measure traffic and conversions, identify technical problems, and help deliver or measure advertising.
You may be able to manage cookies through a consent banner, browser settings, device settings, or advertising-platform controls. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality. Where required by applicable law, we obtain consent before using nonessential cookies and honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when technically supported and legally required.
6. Email and Text Communications
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. We may still send non-promotional communications that are necessary to provide requested services, complete transactions, respond to you, or address legal or security matters.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and transaction records, meet legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect against fraud or abuse.
Retention periods vary based on the type and sensitivity of the information, the nature of our relationship with you, contractual requirements, legal obligations, and whether the information is needed for an active business or legal purpose. When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
8. Security Practices
Zinc Digital Media uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Depending on the systems and information involved, these safeguards may include:
encrypted website connections, such as HTTPS/TLS;
access controls and limiting information access to authorized personnel and service providers;
strong passwords and multi-factor authentication where available;
reputable hosting, payment, communications, and cloud-service providers;
system updates, malware protection, backups, monitoring, and fraud-prevention measures;
staff and contractor confidentiality obligations;
data minimization and secure disposal practices; and
procedures for evaluating and responding to suspected security incidents.
No website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure. Although we work to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a legally reportable data breach occurs, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.
9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:
request access to or a copy of personal information we maintain about you;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of personal information;
request information about the categories of information collected, used, or disclosed;
opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or the use of personal information for targeted advertising;
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, if applicable;
receive certain information in a portable format;
appeal a decision concerning a privacy request; and

10. California Privacy Notice
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, if that law applies to Zinc Digital Media or the relevant processing activity.

We encourage you to review their privacy notices before providing information.
