**Effective Date: September 1, 2026**

Black Moth Marketing (“Black Moth Marketing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting **[www.blackmothmarketing.com](http://www.blackmothmarketing.com)** (the “Website”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, when we may share it, and the choices you may have regarding your information.

## 1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us through the Website.

This may include:

* Your name
* Email address
* Phone number, if provided
* Business or company name
* Website address
* Information about your business, marketing activities, goals, or needs
* Information submitted when requesting a free marketing audit
* Information submitted through our contact form

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse our Website.

## 2. Information Collected Automatically

Our Website is built using Showit. Like many website platforms and hosting technologies, Showit and related service providers may automatically collect certain technical information when you access the Website.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages visited, and similar technical information necessary to operate, secure, and maintain the Website.

At this time, Black Moth Marketing does not intentionally use third-party advertising pixels or analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel to track visitors for our own marketing or advertising purposes.

## 3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Website and the third-party services that support it may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, performance, or embedded features.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit certain websites. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

We do not currently use cookies for our own targeted advertising or retargeting purposes.

If our use of cookies, analytics, or advertising technologies changes, we may update this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, provide additional choices or notices regarding those technologies.

## 4. How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through the Website to:

* Respond to questions, inquiries, and contact requests
* Provide or follow up on requested marketing audits
* Communicate with prospective and current clients
* Evaluate whether our services may be a good fit for your business
* Send newsletters, marketing tips, updates, or other email communications when you have subscribed or otherwise agreed to receive them
* Provide and improve our services
* Operate, maintain, and secure our Website
* Maintain business and administrative records
* Comply with applicable legal obligations
* Protect our rights, property, business, or users

## 5. Email Marketing

If you choose to subscribe to our email list, we may use your name and email address to send newsletters, marketing information, business updates, educational content, promotions, or other communications from Black Moth Marketing.

We currently use Flodesk to help manage our email list and send email communications. Information you submit when subscribing may therefore be processed by Flodesk on our behalf.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not necessarily prevent us from sending non-promotional communications related to an existing business relationship, service request, contract, or other transaction.

## 6. Client and Lead Management

Black Moth Marketing may use Dubsado to manage inquiries, prospective clients, client relationships, contracts, projects, invoices, scheduling, and related business activities.

If you inquire about or engage our services, information you provide to us may be stored or processed through Dubsado as necessary to manage our relationship with you.

## 7. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share or make personal information available to third-party service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide our services. These may include providers that support our:

* Website and hosting
* Email marketing
* Customer or client relationship management
* Business administration
* Professional services
* Security and technical operations

For example, our Website is built using Showit, we may use Flodesk for email marketing, and we may use Dubsado for lead and client management.

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable agreements with us.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful legal requests, protect our legal rights, investigate suspected fraud or misuse, or protect the safety and security of our business, Website, clients, or others.

If Black Moth Marketing is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale, reorganization, or other business transaction, information may also be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

## 8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

How long information is retained may vary depending on the type of information, why it was collected, and any applicable legal or business requirements.

## 9. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect the personal information in our possession.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.

## 10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

You may contact us to request that we:

* Provide information about personal information we maintain about you
* Correct inaccurate personal information
* Delete certain personal information
* Address questions or concerns about how your information is used

Certain information may need to be retained where permitted or required by law, including for legitimate business, contractual, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.

Virginia residents may also have privacy rights under applicable Virginia law. Whether particular statutory rights apply may depend on factors such as the nature and scale of our business and data-processing activities.
