Privacy Policy
Variance Marketing LLC and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“Variance”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect about individuals in the United States and Canada who visit our websites, use our mobile applications, or interact with us by phone or in person (together, our “Services”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. It does not cover employment-related data processing.
1. Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you provide to us directly — for example, when you fill out a form, request a quote, subscribe to communications, or contact us. This includes identifiers and contact details such as name, email address, phone number, company, and any information you choose to include in a message.
We also automatically collect limited technical information when you use our Services, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps. We collect this information using cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for details.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as race, religion, precise geolocation, biometric data, or health information.
2. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to your inquiries and deliver the services you request;
- Operate, maintain, improve, and secure our Services;
- Send you information about our products, updates, and marketing communications (where permitted);
- Measure the performance of our marketing and advertising;
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
3. Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies on our websites for essential functions, analytics, and marketing. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site and advertising partners such as Meta (Facebook) and TikTok to measure and deliver advertising. A full inventory of the cookies used on our site, along with controls to manage them, is available on our Cookie Policy page.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings on our site. US residents can also exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option, or by submitting a request through our Data Request Portal. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.
4. Information We Disclose
We disclose personal information only to the following categories of recipients, and only as necessary for legitimate business purposes:
- Service providers who help us operate the Services (hosting, analytics, email, customer support, advertising measurement). These providers are contractually bound to use the data only for the services they provide to us.
- Affiliates and subsidiaries within the Variance Marketing group.
- Legal and regulatory authorities where we are legally required to do so, or to protect our rights, property, and users.
- In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to customary confidentiality protections.
We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense of the word. However, certain advertising and analytics cookies may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some US state laws. You can opt out at any time — see Section 5.
5. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your personal information;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising;
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information;
- Withdraw consent to the processing of your personal information at any time (where processing is based on consent);
- Appeal a decision we’ve made about your request;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (including the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, or your state Attorney General);
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request through our Data Request Portal or email support@variancemarketing.com. We will verify your identity before acting on your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, meet the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer need the information, we securely delete or anonymize it.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and alteration. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Information from Children
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in other jurisdictions). 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.
9. Links to Third-Party Websites
Our Services may contain links to websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
10. Changes to This Notice
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, if the changes are material, provide additional notice (such as through a banner on our website).
