1. Introduction
Brandism (referred to as “Brandism,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website brandism.io. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we process as a premier performance marketing architect based in Saudi Arabia. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your information when you use our website and services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information primarily to provide our marketing services, manage client relationships, and improve our platform functionality.
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Contact and Inquiry Data: When you book a “Free Meeting,” contact us via forms, or sign up for services, we collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, and any details you provide about your marketing needs.
- Client Service Data: For clients engaging our performance marketing services, we collect business data, including advertising goals, budget allocations, performance metrics, and access credentials for necessary ad and analytics platforms.
B. Information Collected Automatically (Tracking Data)
Given our focus on data-driven campaigns and analytics, we automatically collect data related to your browsing behavior using cookies and tracking technologies:
- Device and Usage Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, time zone, and language settings.
- Interaction Data: Pages viewed, time spent on pages, referral sources, and interaction with our website elements (e.g., clicking the “Book A Free Meeting” button).
- Performance Data: As a marketing agency, we track and use aggregated, anonymized data on the performance of our ads and client campaigns for reporting and optimization purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:
- To Provide and Manage Services: To deliver our performance marketing, media buying, and omnichannel strategy services, and to communicate about your account or audit results.
- To Respond to Inquiries: To manage and process your request when you book a meeting or send a support request. (This action directly supports the 6-hour response guarantee cited in our appeal to Stripe.)
- Marketing and Analytics: To analyze website usage, measure the success of our own digital presence, reduce our customer acquisition cost (as advertised), and personalize our content.
- Security and Compliance: To protect our website, prevent fraud (including processing payments securely via Stripe), and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
- To Process Payments: If you become a client, we use third-party payment processors, such as **Stripe**, to process payments. We do not store your full payment card details; this information is securely transmitted and processed by our payment partner.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share data with the following categories of third parties, strictly necessary to operate our business and provide our services:
- Service Providers: Companies that perform services on our behalf, such as web hosting (Hostinger), email services (e.g., Mailchimp or similar), CRM platforms, and payment processors (Stripe).
- Analytics Partners: Providers like Google Analytics to help us understand visitor behavior.
- Advertising Platforms: Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) and programmatic exchanges, where necessary to run or track client campaigns.
- Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
5. International Data Transfers
Brandism is based in Saudi Arabia (KSA). However, given the global nature of performance marketing, the data we collect may be transferred to, stored at, and processed in destinations outside of KSA, including the United States, by our service providers (e.g., WordPress, Elementor, Stripe). We ensure that any such transfer complies with applicable data protection laws and that all parties maintain adequate data protection measures.
6. Security and Data Retention
We employ administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (e.g., 7 years for financial records related to Stripe payments).
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
