Privacy Policy

Who we are and what this policy covers

Automation Collab LLC (“Automation Collab,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides marketing services for painting companies. This policy describes how we handle information through this website, our forms, and our business communications. It does not replace a separate client agreement or cover websites operated by other companies. Privacy questions may be sent to Aaron@automationcollab.com.

Information you provide

We collect information you choose to share, such as your name, email, phone number, company, website, service area, business size, marketing budget, growth goals, and messages. We may also keep records of inquiries, consent, client communications, and service arrangements. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through general inquiry forms.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting and security providers may process IP addresses, browser and device information, request timestamps, and technical logs necessary to serve and protect this website. If analytics, advertising technology, or third-party embeds are enabled, those tools may also collect page views, referral sources, interactions, cookie identifiers, and related usage information.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential engagements, provide and support services, maintain records, protect our systems, improve the website, and comply with legal obligations. Where permitted and subject to required consent, we may also use information to communicate about our services and measure advertising performance.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Cookies and similar technologies can support website functionality, measurement, and advertising. If we enable Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, analytics, or similar tools, those tools may associate website activity with device identifiers or an account on another platform, including for ad measurement and audience building. We will provide notices and obtain consent where required before enabling nonessential tracking. Browser settings and platform privacy controls may let you restrict cookies or personalized advertising; blocking a cookie does not necessarily stop every form of data processing.

Forms, CRM, and service providers

We may use WordPress and our hosting provider for the website, and GoHighLevel / LeadConnector for forms, customer relationship management, scheduling, and communications. Providers may process information on our behalf to deliver their services. An embedded form or calendar may communicate with its provider when it loads. We select providers for business purposes and limit access as appropriate. A provider may also have its own privacy notice for processing it controls.

Email, phone, and SMS communications

When you contact us, we may reply using the details you provide. Promotional email messages will include an unsubscribe method. We send promotional SMS messages only with the consent required by applicable law; submitting a general inquiry alone does not enroll you in promotional texts. Consent to SMS is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of a text program or HELP for help; you may also contact Aaron@automationcollab.com or 319-540-5651. We honor other valid revocation methods required by law. A confirmation message may follow an opt-out, and necessary nonmarketing communications may continue where permitted. Consent records and suppression lists may be retained to respect your choices.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose information to service providers supporting our operations, professional advisers under appropriate confidentiality duties, authorities when legally required, or a successor in a legitimate business transaction subject to appropriate protections. We may disclose information when needed to protect rights or safety, or at your direction. Mobile information, SMS opt-in data, and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Limited sharing with providers that deliver our messaging services is permitted solely to support that service. If advertising technology constitutes a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable privacy law, we will provide applicable notices and opt-out mechanisms before that use.

Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, contractual requirements, legal obligations, and dispute resolution. Retention varies with the information and relationship. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, a copy of your information, or limits on certain processing, and to appeal a denied request. You may also have rights to opt out of certain advertising uses or withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Email Aaron@automationcollab.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity and authority before acting, and some information may be retained where law permits or requires. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. We honor legally required browser-based opt-out signals for processing subject to those requirements.

Children and international visitors

Our website and services are directed to business owners and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided information, please contact us. We operate in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States or other countries, subject to applicable requirements.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as our practices change. The updated date will appear on this page, and we will provide additional notice when required. Contact Automation Collab LLC at Aaron@automationcollab.com or 319-540-5651.
