Introduction

Smart Fi Guide, along with our affiliated companies, brings content to you through our Website and email delivery. As a marketing and data company, we also help advertisers reach targeted audiences using information we collect about consumers. Our advertising services span online platforms, in-app environments, email, phone-based marketing, and additional channels. The data we collect about individuals may be shared with third parties and sold as part of our business operations. We additionally provide cross-context behavioral advertising, which means we track and use your behavior across different websites and apps to deliver relevant ads.

How We Collect Your Personal Information:

Information collected through this website includes personal details you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and information submitted through inquiry forms. We may supplement this information with data obtained from third parties, including affiliates, data brokers, and marketing or advertising partners.

As part of subscribing to the Smart Fi Guide, you may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also gather additional information through cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device ID, timestamps, browsing behavior, and click-through interactions. We may further obtain advertising-related information from data brokers or public sources, such as demographic details, interests, prior visits, or purchase history. Limited sensitive personal information may also be collected. Details about your rights are provided below.

During this period, we have collected identifiers; personal information listed in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e); characteristics protected under California or U.S. federal law; information related to internet or network activity; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences derived from other personal information.

Treatment of Sensitive Information

Sensitive Personal Information—such as data concerning race or ethnicity, religion, precise location, LGBTQ+ status, health information, financial account data, or citizenship—is not directly collected by us. Nonetheless, information about your online activity may be collected automatically through technologies like cookies, which could indirectly indicate interest in sensitive subject matter or association with a sensitive group. For example, accessing content related to specific ethnic groups or health topics may imply such interests. These inferences are not made by us directly, but may be made by our affiliated companies or other third parties that receive personal information. If applicable laws require consent for such processing, our affiliates will not generate sensitive inferences. We do not collect or use personal information about children under 18.

How We Use Your Data

We use the personal information we collect from and about you to send you newsletters or other content that you sign up for and to send you marketing messages by email or by other means. We also share the personal information we collect with our affiliates and third-party companies who may also send you marketing messages by different means. You can opt out at any time by clicking here. Our use of your personal information is called “cross context behavioral advertising” under some states’ laws.

Sharing Personal Information

We sell or share personal information with our affiliates and with partner companies to be used for marketing purposes, including cross context behavioral advertising. We also enable access to personal information for companies who perform services for us, including services related to cross context behavioral advertising, analytics, advertising fraud detection, information security, web hosting, or similar services. We contract with third parties who have access to personal information to ensure that they use appropriate data security and comply with laws. We may also share personal information where required by law (for instance if we receive a subpoena or court order), or to protect any person’s health or safety.

Personal information may be disclosed to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, courts, government entities, or other third parties where necessary to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or legal processes, to respond to governmental or regulatory inquiries, to protect individuals’ rights or safety, or to enforce our contractual rights, including payment and collection obligations. We may also disclose personal information to a successor entity or purchaser in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, liquidation, or other transfer of assets involving our business.

Personal information may be disclosed to third parties for purposes you have approved, whether those purposes are communicated when you provide the information or outlined elsewhere in this privacy policy.
