We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide consent.

6. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

RID Marketing does not sell personal information in exchange for money.

However, certain uses of analytics, advertising cookies, pixels, or similar technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for “targeted advertising” under some state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to opt out of:

• The sale of personal information
• The sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Processing for targeted advertising
• Certain forms of profiling

You may submit an applicable request by emailing info@rid.marketing with the subject line:

Privacy Opt-Out Request

You may also use available browser, device, advertising, or Website cookie controls.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 for targeted advertising purposes.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Providing Services

• Platform-review timelines
• Legal limitation periods
• Tax and accounting obligations
• Security considerations
• Pending or anticipated disputes

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to backup, legal-hold, and technical limitations.

Clients should not rely on RID Marketing as the permanent storage location for business records, advertising data, website files, or platform documents.

Clients should grant account access through official platform-permission systems whenever available rather than sharing master passwords.

No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. RID Marketing cannot guarantee absolute security or prevent every unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

FTC guidance recommends that businesses understand what information they hold, retain only what they need, protect it appropriately, dispose of it securely, and plan for incidents.
