Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Smart Website Management, owned by Terence Shaw (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates Marketing Team in a Box, a network of professional service directories across North America and the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use this website and the directory network it connects you to (together, the “Service”).

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

• Listing owners: Email address, business name, phone number, and listing details you provide when claiming or managing a listing within the network.
• Visitors: Inquiry and contact form submissions including name, email, and message content.
• Automatically collected: Browser type, IP address, device type, pages visited, referring website, and cookies for session management and analytics.

Information from Public Sources

Many listings across our directory network are compiled from publicly available sources, including public business registries, licensing records, and other public directories. This information may include a business name, business contact details, address or service area, and similar business information. We did not collect this information directly from you. If a listing concerns you or your business, you may claim it to manage it, or use the “Request removal” option on the listing to request its removal.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Operate and maintain the directory network
• Process listing claims and subscriptions
• Forward inquiries to listing owners
• Send service-related communications
• Measure and improve the Service

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Supabase — database and authentication
• Stripe — payment processing
• Resend / Gmail SMTP — transactional email
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — website analytics and advertising measurement

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.

5. Cookies & Analytics

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We also use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and similar analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the Service and to measure the performance of our advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you may opt out of interest-based advertising through your ad settings with the relevant platform.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account or listing is active. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

8. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us.

Your Regional Rights

We provide the Service to users in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), applicable U.S. state privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or the United Kingdom GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 — including the rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to request removal of a listing that concerns you. To exercise these rights, use the “Request removal” option on any listing, or contact us at privacy@marketingteaminabox.com, and we will address your request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
