Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Authority Mile (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operating the website at authoritymile.com, collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit our site, submit a form, or otherwise interact with us. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you provide to us

When you complete a contact form, request a free audit, or otherwise reach out, we collect the details you give us — which may include your name, email address, phone number, business name, and any message you include.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we and our analytics and advertising partners automatically collect technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring URLs, and the dates and times of your visits. Much of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 04).

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide the services or information you request;
• Contact you about your request, including by email or phone;
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and its content;
• Analyze how visitors use our site so we can measure and improve performance;
• Deliver and measure advertising, including retargeting ads on other platforms;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Cookies & tracking technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to run our site, remember your preferences, understand traffic, and support advertising. These include essential cookies required for the site to function, analytics cookies such as Google Analytics that help us understand how visitors find and use our site, and advertising cookies used to show relevant ads and measure their effectiveness (see Section 05).

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through a cookie banner on our site. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. Google's practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising & retargeting

We work with third-party advertising platforms — which may include Google Ads and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) — to show you ads on other websites and platforms after you visit us. These partners use cookies and pixels to understand your interests and measure ad performance. This activity may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising through:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info)
• Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org)
• Your Google Ad settings at adssettings.google.com

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers — hosting, analytics, email, CRM, and form providers who process data on our behalf under contract;
• Advertising partners — as described in Section 05;
• Legal & safety — when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, users, or the public; and
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to respond to your inquiry and maintain our business records — and as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
• Access and request a copy of your personal information;
• Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to exceptions;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; and
• Non-discrimination — we will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 14. We will verify your request before acting on it. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

Your rights in the EU/UK (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Legal bases. We process personal data on the basis of your consent (e.g., analytics and advertising cookies), our legitimate interests (e.g., operating and securing our site), the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request (e.g., responding to an inquiry), and compliance with legal obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Your choices

• Cookies: manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.
• Advertising: use the opt-out links in Section 05.
• Do Not Track: our site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.
• Email: if we send you marketing email, you can unsubscribe using the link in any message.

Children's privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes may be highlighted on our website.
