Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how 9/8 Central ("9/8 Central," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit 98c.org or any website, page, or form that links to this policy (together, the "Website").

By using the Website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

This policy covers information collected through the Website. It does not cover information collected offline or through client agreements, which are governed by those agreements.

We collect information you give us directly, information collected automatically when you use the Website, and information we receive from third parties.

  • Your name, email address, phone number, and company name

  • Project details, budget ranges, and other information you choose to share in a message

  • Resumes, portfolios, or other materials you submit with a job application

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

  • Your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system

  • Pages you view, links you click, time spent on pages, and the site that referred you

  • General location information derived from your IP address

  • Information collected through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, described below

Information from third parties. We may receive information about you from advertising partners, analytics providers, data partners, and social media platforms, including information that helps us identify visitors to the Website.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to run our business and serve you well, including to:

  • Respond to inquiries, prepare proposals, and schedule calls or studio bookings

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Website and our services

  • Send newsletters, updates, and marketing communications

  • Measure how the Website and our advertising perform

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website uses cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the Website, and support our advertising. Some of these are placed by us, and some are placed by third parties such as analytics and advertising providers.

When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.

We may also use tools such as Google Analytics and advertising pixels from platforms like Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok to measure visits and show you relevant ads on other websites. You can learn more about Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you do, some parts of the Website may not work as intended. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org.

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no common standard for these signals, the Website does not currently respond to them.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in these situations:

  • Service providers. Companies that help us operate, such as website hosting, email marketing, CRM, scheduling, analytics, and advertising vendors. They may use your information only to provide services to us, or as described in the Cookies section above.

  • Advertising and data partners. Partners that help us measure campaigns, identify Website visitors, and deliver marketing, as described above.

  • Business partners. Trusted partners who help us deliver a project you request, such as paid media or production partners.

  • Legal reasons. When required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 9/8 Central, our clients, or others.

  • Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business.

  • With your consent. Any other time you direct us to share your information.

Your Choices and Rights

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us. We may still send you messages related to an active project or inquiry.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to opt out of certain sharing for targeted advertising. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We will verify your request and respond as required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, or as required by law, tax, or accounting rules.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Websites

The Website may link to other websites, including client work and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so please review their policies.
