This Privacy Policy relates to information collected by Search Marketing Group LLC DBA Agency List (referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Agency List” “we” or “us” or “our”) through your use of our website, our services, features, and information available on our website.
The Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is to clearly state what type of information we collect and for what purposes.
Agency List is a curated list of US based advertising and marketing agencies and is not intended for agencies listed outside of the United States of America.
What Kind of Information do we Collect?
If you wish to have your agency listed on Agency List you are required to fill out our contact form and as such you will be required to provide us with information, including personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information. In addition, we may obtain your personally identifiable information from you if you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or comments.
We collect two types of information:
Personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Information: Personally identifiable information identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Examples of personally identifiable information include your name, IP address, company name, job title, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and billing and credit card information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Non-personally identifiable information is information, any single item of which, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you, including demographic information (like age, profession, company industry, gender, current location, or zip code), IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and statistical data involving the use of Agency List. Certain non-personally identifiable information may be considered a part of your personally identifiable information if it were combined with other identifiers, such as combining your zip code with your street address, in a way that enables you to be identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered non-personally identifiable information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-personally identifiable information.
Why do we Need your Personal Data?
We need certain personal data to list your agency on our Site and to get in contact with you regarding your listing. However, we will only process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. If you do not agree to our use of your personal data in line with this policy, please do not submit your agency to us.
Information we collect automatically when you use our Services:
We collect information about you when you use our Services, including browsing our websites and taking certain actions on our Site.
- Device and Connection Information: We collect information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other devices you use to access the Services. This device information includes your connection type and settings when you install, access, update, or use our Services. We also collect information through your device about your operating system, browser type, IP address, URLs of referring/exit pages, device identifiers, and crash data. We use your IP address and/or country preference to approximate your location to provide you with a better Service experience. How much of this information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services.
- Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: Agency List and our third-party partners, such as our advertising and analytics partners, use cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons, device identifiers and pixels) to provide functionality and to recognize you across different Services and devices. We may use cookies in connection with our websites and services and some of the cookies may be linked to your personally identifiable information. Any time you register on a site, use a site, place an order through a site, or identify yourself or the computer you are using through a site, you will be deemed to have given use permission to link your personally identifiable information with cookies. Most or all browsers permit you to disable or reject certain cookies. You can do this by setting the preferences in the browser. Use the “help” feature of your browser to obtain more information about refusing cookies. However, if you set the browser you use to reject cookies or otherwise disable them, you may not be able to use any or all functionality at one or more of the sites or it may take additional time to utilize such functionality. Furthermore, one or more of the organizations working with us to develop or provide our services or products, or with which we otherwise do business, or to which we provide links from a site, may also use cookies of their own. We have no control over such organizations’ uses of cookies and users should review the privacy policies of such organizations to determine the uses such organizations make of cookies.
- Log files: We collect non-personally identifiable information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of Agency List. This information may be used to analyze trends, to monitor the use of Agency List, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to personally identifiable information for these and other purposes, such as personalizing your experience on Agency List, and evaluating Agency List in general.
Information we receive from other sources:
Your Rights

Where will Data be Transferred to?
If you are visiting our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information, including personally identifiable data, to the United States where our servers are located. Depending on the type of data and how it is stored by us, that information may then be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us and other third parties within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, including, but not limited to the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By using our website, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.
Could my Information be Transferred to other Countries?
Personally identifiable information collected by Agency List may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and Agency List may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using Agency List and submitting such information on it, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, if you are a User accessing Agency List from a jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from those of the United States, please be advised that all aspects of Agency List are governed by the internal laws of the United States and the State of Arizona, USA, regardless of your location.
How Long will Data be Stored?

Do we Collect Information from Children under 16 years of age?
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Agency List is not designed for or directed to children under the age of 16. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of 16.
When do we Disclose Information to Third Parties?
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as specifically authorized by you, we will not disclose any information to third parties outside of Agency List.
Laws and Legal Rights
We may disclose your information (including personally identifiable information) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so to comply with an applicable statute, regulation, rule or law, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process. We may disclose personally identifiable information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone, to detect fraud, or to protect the safety and or security of other users, Agency List or the general public. We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
We also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Outside Contractors
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, “Outside Contractors”) to provide specific services and products related to Agency List, such as website and mailing list hosting for Agency List. While providing products or services to us, these Outside Contractors may have access to information collected through Agency List, including your personally identifiable information. We require that these contractors agree to (1) protect the privacy of your personally identifiable information consistent with this Privacy Policy and (2) not use or disclose your personally identifiable information for any purpose other than providing us with the products or services for which we contracted or as required by law.
Sale of Business
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Agency List or any of its Corporate Affiliates (as defined herein), or that portion of Agency List or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Does this Privacy Policy apply when I link to other websites or services?
Agency List may provide you with access to other websites and services. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any websites or services other than Agency List. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of each and every such website and service. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through Agency List.
Is the information collected through Agency List secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personally identifiable information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with that duty.
EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework
Agency List is not intended for European Union member countries or any other countries other than the United States of America.
What Choices do I have regarding the Collection, Disclosure and Distribution of Personally Identifiable Information?
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will only use personally identifiable information for the purposes described above, or as otherwise disclosed at the time we request such information from you. You must “opt in” and give us permission to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. You may also change your preference and “opt out” of receiving certain marketing communications from us by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of all such communications, or by contacting us via email.
Do Not Track
The term “Do Not Track” refers to an HTTP header offered by certain web browsers to request that websites refrain from tracking the user. We take no action in response to Do Not Track requests.
Can I update or correct my personally identifiable information?
The rights you have regarding requests to update or correct the information Agency List collects depend on your relationship with Agency List.
Users have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You can contact us in order to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, or (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us. Such updates, corrections, and changes will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, or change.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Promptly after receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use, and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, or changed, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically practicable.
