This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, request a consultation, or use our services. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help a website work properly and understand how it is used. Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember your preferences, and analyze traffic and performance.

We may also use third-party analytics or advertising tools that set their own cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

We only share personal information in the following situations:

• Service providers: trusted partners that help us operate, such as website hosting, analytics, email, and communication tools. They may use your information only to perform services for us.
• Legal reasons: when required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, and users.
• Business changes: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that process.
• With your consent: in any other case where you have agreed to the sharing.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as responding to your enquiry, providing our services, and meeting legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We work with clients around the world. This means your information may be processed or stored in countries other than the one where you live, which may have different data protection rules. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to protect your information in line with this policy.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
• Ask us to delete your information
• Object to or restrict certain uses of your information
• Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
• Withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@marketinghives.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Our website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age required in your region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
