Privacy Policy
BAD Marketing Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 6, 2026
The privacy of your data is very important to us. This policy explains: what data we collect and why, how your data is handled, your rights regarding your data, and how this works alongside our Terms & Conditions. We never sell your personal information: never have, never will.
1. Information We Collect and Why
Identity and Access
When you sign up for a BAD Marketing product, we may collect identifying information, including your name, email address, phone number, and company name. This allows us to personalize your account, provide essential updates, and communicate important product information.
With your consent, we may also send optional surveys, newsletters, or promotional communications to understand how you use our services and improve them. You may upload a profile picture for display within our products.
We never sell your personal information or use your name or company in marketing communications without your permission.
Billing Information
For paid products, we collect payment information and billing addresses. Credit card information is submitted directly to our third-party payment processor; BAD Marketing does not store full card numbers. We retain a record of payment transactions, including the last four digits of your card, for account history, invoicing, and billing support.
Billing addresses are used for tax calculation, fraud prevention, and internal analysis in aggregate form.
Product Content
Content you upload, receive, or maintain in your BAD Marketing accounts is stored on our servers to allow full use of our products. If you delete your account, we remove your content within 60 days.
Geolocation and Security Data
We log IP addresses used to access our products for security, fraud prevention, and spam mitigation. Login activity is retained as long as your account remains active.
Website Interaction Data
We collect browsing activity for analytics and optimization, such as browser type, operating system, IP address, visited pages, load times, and referrer URLs. If you are signed in, this data is linked to your account.
Anti-Bot Assessments
We use CAPTCHA and other anti-bot tools to prevent spam and unauthorized access. These services evaluate information like IP address, mouse movements, and session timing. We only receive spam risk scores and do not access the evaluated data itself.
Voluntary Correspondence
We retain email, chat, and SMS correspondence with you, including support requests, to maintain a record of our interactions. Any information you volunteer, such as survey responses or interview recordings, is stored only with your consent.
2. SMS & Email Communications
We may send you SMS messages or emails to provide:
- Service updates and account notifications
- Product promotions, surveys, or newsletters (with your consent)
- Security or fraud alerts
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in emails or replying “STOP” to SMS messages. Opting out of marketing messages will not affect your ability to use our services.
3. How We Use and Share Your Data
Service Delivery
We may use third-party processors to provide services, including newsletters, surveys, billing, SMS/email communications, and integrations. Data sharing with these processors is limited to what is necessary to perform the service.
Third-Party Integrations
You may connect your BAD Marketing account to third-party services (e.g., Gmail). Data shared with these services remains accessible both through your BAD Marketing account and the third-party platform.
Access by BAD Marketing
BAD Marketing personnel will only access your data for:
- Resolving errors or system issues
- Compliance with legal process
- Bug fixes or support cases, with your consent
- Investigating restricted uses or potential abuse
Legal Requirements
We comply with legal obligations from U.S. or international authorities if compelled by a valid warrant, subpoena, or court order. We will notify affected users where legally permitted.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred. We will notify you in advance if your data is affected.
4. Your Rights
Regardless of location, you may exercise the following rights:
- Right to Know: What personal data we collect, use, share, or sell (we never sell).
- Right of Access: Access your personal information and learn about its storage, security, and processing.
- Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal information (may affect account functionality).

- Right to Object: Object to processing in certain circumstances.
- Right to Non-Automated Decisions: Object to decisions made solely by automated processes.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not penalize you for exercising your data rights.
Many of these rights can be exercised via your account settings. If you are in the EU or UK, you may also contact your local data protection authority.
5. Data Storage and Transfers
All products and websites are operated from the United States. Data you provide may be transferred and stored in the U.S. if you are located elsewhere. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.
We do not share mobile information with third parties for marketing purposes. Sharing with subcontractors is limited to necessary support functions.
6. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. By using our services, you acknowledge these inherent risks.
7. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to analyze website usage, optimize performance, and improve user experience. Information collected includes IP addresses, browser types, device information, and interaction patterns.
8. Relationship to Terms & Conditions
This Privacy Policy works in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions. By using our services, you agree to both.
- Consent & Account Use: By creating an account or using our services, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
- Service Limitations: Certain rights or services may be limited if you exercise rights like data erasure, as outlined in this policy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any changes.
