Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 15, 2026 | Last Updated: June 15, 2026

Jake Team (“Jake Team,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects privacy and takes reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit jaketeam.com, submit a contact form, request a sample article, communicate with us, or use our marketing, website, advertising, content, and local influencer services (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the website or Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or submit personal information to us.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information directly from you, automatically through the website, from service providers, and from third-party platforms or public sources when needed to provide Services.

Information you provide

When you submit a form, request a sample article, ask us to contact you, purchase Services, or communicate with us, we may collect:

Name and contact information, such as email address, phone number, business name, city, and market area.
Business information, such as your website, social media profiles, products, services, offers, target customers, locations, photos, logos, brand assets, and campaign goals.
Project information, such as messages, instructions, approvals, feedback, revision requests, testimonials, advertising preferences, sample article details, and local market details.
Payment and billing information, such as invoice details, billing contact, transaction records, and payment status. Payment card information, if used, is typically processed by a third-party payment processor and not stored directly by Jake Team.
Any other information you choose to provide.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, dates and times of visits, general location inferred from IP address, cookies or similar identifiers, security logs, and interactions with website features.

Information from third parties and public sources

For marketing projects, we may review information from your website, public business listings, social media pages, local news sites, ad platforms, influencer or creator profiles, analytics tools, search engines, public databases, and other sources relevant to your project or market.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries, contact form submissions, and sample article requests.
To provide, manage, personalize, and improve our Services.
To create or support websites, landing pages, articles, ads, sponsored content, business spotlights, social media concepts, influencer campaigns, and related marketing materials.
To plan campaigns, understand local markets, prepare proposals, estimate pricing, manage revisions, and communicate about projects.
To process payments, invoices, accounting, taxes, and business records.
To operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, spam, abuse, unauthorized access, security incidents, and legal risks.
To measure website or campaign performance, including analytics, reporting, and attribution where available.
To send administrative messages, service updates, and marketing communications, subject to applicable law and your choices.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, resolve disputes, and protect the rights, property, safety, and interests of Jake Team, clients, users, and others.

3. AI-Assisted Work and Data Use

Jake Team may use artificial intelligence tools to help draft, edit, summarize, research, brainstorm, design, or produce marketing-related materials. We may provide AI tools with project information, business context, prompts, public information, and draft content when reasonably needed to perform Services. We do not intentionally provide sensitive personal information to AI tools unless it is necessary for the Services or you instruct us to do so.

AI tools are third-party services and may process information according to their own terms and privacy practices. We use human review and local-market judgment, but you should not submit confidential, regulated, or sensitive information unless it is necessary for the project and you have told us how it should be handled.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, pixels, logs, local storage, and similar technologies for site functionality, security, analytics, performance, spam prevention, and marketing measurement. These technologies may help us remember preferences, understand traffic, detect abuse, improve pages, and evaluate campaign effectiveness.

You can usually adjust browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled. If we use analytics or advertising technologies that legally require additional choices, we will honor applicable opt-out requirements where required by law.

5. How We Share Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

Service providers and contractors. We may share information with vendors who help us operate the website and provide Services, such as hosting providers, WordPress tools, security tools, analytics providers, email providers, payment processors, design or development contractors, AI tool providers, and project management tools.
Advertising, publishing, and creator partners. We may share information with local news websites, ad networks, social media platforms, influencers, creators, photographers, publishers, or campaign partners when needed to run ads, publish sponsored content, coordinate creator work, or deliver Services you request.
Client-approved publication. If you approve content, ads, business spotlights, testimonials, images, or campaign materials for publication, the approved materials may become public.
Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we believe it is required or appropriate to comply with law, respond to legal process, enforce agreements, protect rights or safety, prevent fraud or abuse, or investigate security issues.
Business transfers. We may disclose or transfer information as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction.
With consent or direction. We may share information when you consent, instruct us, or otherwise authorize sharing.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics, advertising, or marketing technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under certain privacy laws, depending on how they are used. Where legally required, we will provide applicable choices.

6. Lead Forms and Contact Submissions

When you submit a contact form on jaketeam.com, we store your submission as a private lead record inside WordPress so we can review and respond to it. Contact form submissions may include your name, email address, business name, city or market, growth goal, message, source page, browser information, and related technical details. These submissions are not intended to be publicly displayed.

7. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide Services, maintain business records, respond to inquiries, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and protect our rights. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, legal requirements, and business needs.

We may delete, anonymize, or archive information when it is no longer reasonably needed. We may retain backup copies for a limited period as part of ordinary backup and disaster recovery processes.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These may include access controls, WordPress security tools, secure hosting practices, password protections, updates, backups, and limiting access to people and vendors who need information for business purposes.

No website, platform, transmission, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. You are responsible for using secure passwords, limiting access to accounts you share with us, and promptly notifying us if you believe information or credentials have been compromised.

9. Your Choices

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable law, identity verification, legal exceptions, and our legitimate business needs. You may also ask us to stop sending marketing emails by using an unsubscribe link, if available, or contacting us directly.

If you ask us to delete information, we may retain information where permitted or required by law, such as for tax, accounting, security, legal, dispute-resolution, or contract-enforcement purposes.

10. Privacy Rights for Certain U.S. Residents

Depending on where you live and whether a particular privacy law applies to Jake Team, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or opt out of certain processing of your personal information, including targeted advertising, sale, or profiling in furtherance of legally significant decisions. Texas residents and residents of some other states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state laws.

We will respond to valid requests as required by applicable law. To exercise privacy rights, contact us at info@jaketeam.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. If you use an authorized agent, we may require proof of authorization and may still ask you to verify your identity directly.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights, but certain requests may limit our ability to provide Services.

11. California Privacy Notice

This section applies to California residents to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), applies to Jake Team. The categories of personal information we may collect include identifiers, commercial information, internet or electronic network activity information, geolocation information inferred from IP address, professional or business information, audio/visual materials you provide, inferences related to marketing preferences, and sensitive personal information only if you choose to provide it or it is necessary for the Services.

We may collect these categories from you, your business, public sources, service providers, advertising platforms, analytics tools, social media platforms, publishers, creators, and other third parties. We use and disclose these categories for the business and commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. If our use of advertising or analytics technologies is considered “sharing” or “sale” under California law, you may contact us to request opt-out choices.

California residents may have rights to know/access, delete, correct, obtain a copy of, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain use of sensitive personal information, and be free from discrimination for exercising rights. To submit a request, contact info@jaketeam.com.

12. Children’s Privacy

The website and Services are intended for businesses and adults. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it as required by law.

13. International Users

Jake Team is based in the United States, and information we collect may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. If you access the website or Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different privacy laws than your location.

14. Third-Party Websites and Platforms

The website and Services may link to or rely on third-party websites, local news sites, social media platforms, ad platforms, AI tools, payment processors, analytics providers, influencer platforms, hosting providers, and other services. We do not control third-party privacy practices. Review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

15. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for these signals, our website may not respond to them. Where legally required and technically feasible, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control for applicable processing.

16. Email, Text, and Marketing Communications

If you provide contact information, we may send administrative messages and may contact you about Jake Team Services, sample articles, proposals, campaigns, or related opportunities. You can opt out of marketing emails by following unsubscribe instructions if provided or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send non-marketing messages about projects, transactions, legal matters, or service-related issues.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Changes are effective when posted unless a later date is stated. Your continued use of the website or Services after an update means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
