Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 September 2026

Jacobi Marketing ("we," "us") runs jacobimarketing.com. This policy describes what information the site collects and what we do with it.

What we collect

This site has two forms, analytics, and ad measurement:

  • Audit request form. Name, email, company name, industry, city and state, and optionally a website URL and free-text notes you provide, submitted so we can generate and send you a visibility report.
  • Contact form. Name, email, and the message you write.
  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors reach and use this site — for example, that someone clicked through to the audit form, submitted it, or sent a contact message. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) to recognise returning visits, and Google processes this data as our analytics provider. We do not use it to build advertising audiences or to identify you personally.
  • Ad click identifiers. If you reach this site by clicking an ad we are running, the ad platform adds identifiers for the campaign and the ad to the link you clicked. We read those from the address bar, keep them in your browser's local storage for up to 30 days, and attach them to a form you submit — so we can tell which ad produced a request and what our own advertising costs. They identify the ad, not you. Clearing your browser's site data removes them, and nothing on this site requires them to work.
  • Standard web logs. Our hosting provider may log basic technical information (IP address, browser type, timestamp) the way most web servers do by default.
  • The instant website check. Running the free, no-signup check on this site (the one that tells you right away whether an AI assistant can read your site, with no email required) records the address you submitted, the result, the time, your IP address, and your browser type. We use that to see whether the tool is working and to understand how it's used — it is not shared, and it is not used to identify you. Those records are kept for 90 days.
  • Hosted report links. If we send you a link to a report we prepared for you, opening that link records the time, your IP address, browser type, and referring address. We use that to tell whether the report was opened and whether it was forwarded, so we can follow up without guessing. Those records are kept with the report and deleted when the link expires (90 days by default) or is revoked. We do not put a tracking script or pixel in the report itself.

We do not run advertising or retargeting pixels on this site, and we do not sell your information. Google Analytics is the only third-party script this site loads — the ad click identifiers described above are read from the link you arrived on and stored by this site itself, not by an advertising network, and they are not used to build advertising audiences or to follow you to other sites.

Opting out. You can block analytics with Google's opt-out browser add-on, by using your browser's Do Not Track or cookie-blocking settings, or with any standard content blocker. Nothing on this site requires analytics to work — both forms function normally with it blocked.

What we do with it

  • Audit request data is used to generate and send you the visibility report you asked for, and to follow up about it.
  • Contact form data is used to respond to your message.
  • Ad click identifiers are used to attribute a request to the ad that produced it, so we can measure what our own advertising costs per request. They are stored alongside that request and nowhere else.
  • We do not sell your information.
  • If you engage us as a client, information you provide (and performance data from any campaign we run for you) is used to deliver and report on that engagement, under the terms of a signed agreement — not this website policy.

Who else sees it

We use third-party infrastructure to run this site and its forms (hosting, form/email delivery, and the analytics approach described above). We have not finalized the specific vendor list yet; this section will be updated to name them once selected. We do not share form submissions with anyone outside the vendors needed to operate this site and, if applicable, deliver a signed engagement.

How long we keep it

Audit requests and contact messages are retained for up to three years from submission, then deleted automatically. We keep them that long so we can pick up a conversation that goes quiet and come back to it, and so we can avoid re-running a duplicate report for a company that already asked. Forwarded copies of email sent to our published address are deleted after 90 days. Records of the instant website check are also deleted after 90 days. Hosted report view records (IP address, browser type, timestamp) are deleted when the report link expires or is revoked.

Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention setting on our Analytics property, which is managed in Google's systems rather than ours.

Your choices

You can ask us to delete information you've submitted through either form by emailing us at matt@jacobimarketing.com. If you are in the EU/UK or California, you may have additional statutory rights. Whatever those rights entitle you to, email us and we will honour them — we would rather do that than wait on a longer policy.
