Contact details for both companies are set out in Section 11.

The Privacy Policy describes how and why we might access, collect, store , user and/or share (“process”) your personal information when you use our services ( “Services”), including when you:
Visit our website at https://www.gripadvertising.com/ or any website of ours that links to this Privacy Policy
Engage with us in order related ways including sales, partnership, job applications, marketing or events

1. Personal Data We Collect

Grip collects personal information that you voluntarily provide us directly when you express an interest in Grip Advertising, or otherwise when you contact us.

1.1 Information You Provide Directly
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us. The information we collect may include the following:
•      First and Last Name
•      Email Addresses
•      Phone Numbers
•.     Contact Preferences
•.     Company Name
•      Website URL
•.     Professional Background
•      Location Data
•      Consent Records
We do not process any sensitive information.

The personal information is provided by you through a form submission on our sites. All personal information you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our Sites, we and our service providers may automatically collect: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language preferences, referring/exit pages, pages viewed and date/time stamps.

The information does not include your specific identification and it is primarily needed to maintain the security, systems administrations and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
​
​1.3 Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
​Grip uses cookies and similar tracking technologies across gripadvertising.com and its subdomains, including our careers site, to operate our websites, understand how visitors use them, and support our own marketing.

This includes:
•     Platform and functional cookies: Our Sites use cookies to run core site features, maintain your session, and, on our careers site, connect a submitted job application to your candidate record.
•     Attribution parameters: Pages may capture UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign, and similar tags) from the link a visitor arrived through, so we can see which channel referred that visit or application.
•     Analytics and advertising technologies: We use, or may use, tools such as Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, and the LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure site traffic, understand how our marketing performs, and show relevant ads to people who have visited our Sites. These tools can place cookies or similar identifiers in a visitor's browser and may share limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, with those providers under their own privacy policies.

We do not sell personal information. Consent collected specifically for SMS messaging (see Section 8) is not shared with any of the analytics or advertising tools described above, or with any third party, for marketing purposes.

​Your choices: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and can opt out of interest-based advertising directly through each provider — for example, through Meta's ad preferences or Google's Ads Settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Sites function.

2. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data
​
How we use your data depends on the interactions between you and Grip Advertising. We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. Below are the purposes of processing your personal information:

•.    To respond to business inquiries regarding our Services
•.    To validate and evaluate job applications and candidacy
•.    To send recruitment-related emails and SMS updates
•.    To deliver and facilitate delivery of services
•.    To protect our Services
•.    To identify usage trends

Where we rely on consent (for example, SMS/email marketing or non-essential cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. See Section 8.

Video submissions: Video submissions (via Loom or the careers site) are reviewed by our internal teams only. We do not run video submissions through automated screening, facial analysis, or AI-based candidate-scoring tools. Should this practice change in the future, we will update this Policy and provide any additional disclosures required under UK/EU GDPR Article 22 and applicable US biometric privacy laws (e.g., Illinois's AI Video Interview Act).


2.1 The Legal Bases we adhere to when processing your information
We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (e.g. legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with the Services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.

If you you located in the EU or UK:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR requires us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
Consent: We may process your information if you have given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purposes (e.g. recruitment updates)
Client-Partner Agreement: We may process your personal information when it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
Legal Obligations: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Your vital interests: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you you located in the the U.S.:

Grip processes your data only for the specific purposes outlined in Section 2, consistent with the notice-and-choice framework used under CCPA/CPRA and applicable state privacy laws, and with TCPA requirements for text messaging. Where we rely on your consent (for example, SMS/email marketing), you may withdraw it at any time as described in Section 8, without affecting the lawfulness of any messages already sent. See Section 7.2 for your rights under CCPA/CPRA and other applicable US state privacy laws.

If you you located in the Other Countries:

If you are located outside the EU, UK, or US — including Canada, Australia, or elsewhere — we process your personal data for the same purposes described above, consistent with applicable local law.
​

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or lend your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents (“third parties”) who perform services for us or on behalf and require access to such information to perform the work. We have agreements in place with third parties to ensure the protection of your personal information. The information provided is solely to operate our business, evaluate inquiries and applications, and comply with the law.

Here is the list of third parties we may share personal information with:

•.    Recruitment and hiring: Typeform, GoHighLevel, Google Workspace, Loom, Zoom

•.    Invoice and Billing: Wave, Xero

•.    Social Media Sharing and Advertising: Meta Ads Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel & CAPI, Google Ads Manager, Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel

•.    Hosting/Infrastructure: Cloudflare, AWS, Namecheap, GoHighLevel's CDN
​

4. International Data Transfers

Because Grip operates through both a UK entity and a US entity, your personal data may be transferred between the United Kingdom and the United States, and to other countries where our service providers operate.

Where we transfer personal data out of the UK or EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards, which may include:

•.    The UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses
•.    The EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), where applicable
•.    Adequacy regulations, where applicable

You may request a copy of the relevant safeguard by contacting us using the details in Section 11.
​

5. Data Retention

We may retain data for a period of time in order to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.

Here are the retention period based on the data type:

•.    Job application data: 24 months from the date of application, unless the applicant specifically request to be be deleted soon or consent to a longer ‘talent pool’ retention

•      General contact form inquiries: 24 months or until the inquiry is resolved

•.    Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as necessary to remain compliant (even after opt-out)
​

6. We Protect Your Data

It is important to us that your data is protected. We do not share personal data to third parties without your permission. As a security measure, user-specific access controls on internal systems are in place with multi-factor authentication to ensure only approved personnel have the proper access.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
​

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residency, you have rights that allow you access to and control over your personal information. Please review the information below to understand your rights under applicable data protection laws.

7.1 UK/EEA Residents
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to: access your data; rectify inaccurate data; erase your data; restrict processing; data portability; object to processing (including direct marketing); and withdraw consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, or your local EU supervisory authority.

7.2 California and Other US State Residents
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, correct inaccurate information, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising, which may apply to some of the advertising tools listed in Section 3). Note: California's former applicant/employee exemptions have expired, so job applicants have these rights.

Because Grip advertises to residents throughout the United States (not solely California), residents of other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws — currently including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and others as such laws take effect — may have similar rights (access, correction, deletion, opt-out of targeted advertising) under their applicable state law.

7.3 Canadian Residents
Because Grip's Sites receive traffic from and advertise to individuals in Canada, our collection and use of personal data, and our email/SMS marketing practices, are also intended to comply with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and applicable Canadian privacy law (e.g., PIPEDA). This includes obtaining appropriate consent before sending commercial electronic messages, clearly identifying the sender, and providing a functional unsubscribe mechanism in every message.

7.4 Exercising Your Rights
​To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding and will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
​

8. Marketing Communications and SMS/Text Messaging

By submitting your phone number and checking the applicable consent box on career.gripadvertising.com, you agree to receive application status update text messages and emails from Grip, sent via our CRM platform, GoHighLevel. Your phone number and SMS consent status will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. These communications are currently limited to updates about your application and are not used for independent promotional/marketing purposes. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies depending on your application status. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS at any time, or HELP for assistance. You may unsubscribe from emails using the unsubscribe link in any email. Consent to receive SMS/email is not a condition of employment and can be withdrawn at any time without affecting your application.
​

9. Children's Privacy
Our Sites are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from, individuals under the age of 18. Job applicants must be at least the minimum legal working age in their jurisdiction.
​

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page, and where required by law, we will provide additional notice.
