Privacy Policy
Effective November 14, 2026 (UTC) · Version 2026-11-14-v1
What we collect through the studio website and contact form, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Scope
This policy covers the Marketing Hog studio pages, inquiry form, related communications, and optional text-notification choices at marketinghog.com. Separate products or services linked from the studio may have their own privacy notices and agreements.
2. Information we collect
- Inquiry information: your name, email address, message, company or topic if supplied, and optional phone number, together with correspondence needed to respond.
- Consent records: your agreement to the terms, independent marketing and service/account text choices, the disclosure and policy version, source page, timestamp, browser information, and a keyed hash of the request IP address. We record unchecked choices as well as affirmative choices. A submitted number is not automatically verified.
- Technical information: our hosting and security infrastructure may process IP addresses, requested pages, timestamps, response status, browser information, and diagnostic logs to deliver and protect the website. The security-code check uses short-lived challenge records and rate-limiting information.
Please do not include passwords, payment credentials, financial account numbers, or other highly sensitive information in your message.
3. How information is used
We use information to respond to inquiries, discuss possible projects or partnerships, support business communications, maintain consent records, operate the website, prevent abuse, and meet applicable legal obligations. When an appropriate text program is available, we may use a number for the categories of messages separately consented to. Recording consent does not itself send a message or establish that a program is active.
Where a legal basis is required, it may include taking steps you request before an agreement, performing an agreement, legitimate interests in running and protecting the business, legal obligations, or consent where required. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already lawfully completed.
4. Sharing and SMS information
Inquiry information may be processed by hosting, security, and communications providers as needed to operate the site and respond to you. Website delivery and security use Cloudflare, and inquiry records are held on our server. We may disclose information where required by law, to protect rights or safety, or at your direction.
Mobile information: we do not sell or share mobile numbers or SMS opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. Providers may process this information to deliver and support messages on our behalf or as required by law. Other sharing descriptions in this policy do not authorize third-party marketing use of SMS consent data.
5. Your text choices
Marketing texts and service/account notification texts have separate, optional, initially unchecked boxes. You may choose either, both, or neither. Neither choice is required to purchase products or services or submit an inquiry. Supplying a phone number without checking an option is not SMS consent. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply.
If you receive texts from us, reply STOP to withdraw or HELP for assistance. You may also use our contact form to request help, correct a number, or withdraw consent; include the number and category concerned. You do not need to select a text option when making a privacy or withdrawal request. We may retain the minimum consent and suppression information needed to document and honor your choice.
6. Cookies and browser effects
The contact form and its visual effects do not require advertising cookies. Infrastructure providers may use essential security features or cookies to protect and deliver the site. The decorative particle animation and logo lighting are rendered in your browser; those visual effects do not transmit their animation measurements to us. Your browser’s reduced-motion preference is respected, and the contact page provides a motion control.
7. Retention and security
We retain inquiry, communication, consent, and security information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legitimate operational needs, applicable recordkeeping requirements, and legal claims. Consent or suppression records may need to be kept longer than an inquiry. Backups may persist until replaced through their normal cycle.
We use HTTPS, restricted server access, a private intake service, and abuse-prevention measures. No system or transmission is guaranteed to be completely secure. Our form is not intended for highly sensitive information.
8. Requests and other information
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a relevant authority. Submit a request through our private contact form. We may need proportionate information to verify identity or authority before acting. We respond within applicable legal timelines and explain any lawful limits on a request.
Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our infrastructure or service providers operate. This studio website is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information so we can review it.
9. Updates and contact
We may update this policy as the website or its practices change, with a revised effective date and additional notice when required. For privacy questions or requests, contact Marketing Hog.
