Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 4, 2026

Manticore Marketing LLC (“Manticore Marketing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit manticore.marketing (the “Site”), use our free Local Rank Audit tool or Marketing Budget Calculator, call us, apply for a job, or contact us, and how we use and protect that information.

The Site is intended for visitors in the United States.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you fill out a form on the Site, including our Local Rank Audit, Marketing Budget Calculator, and contact forms, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, and phone number
• Your business name, website, location, and type of business, and the keyword or service you want to check
• Your monthly marketing budget range and how you heard about us
• Your Marketing Budget Calculator answers, such as what you want to fix, your type of business, number of locations, service area and industry, plus your yearly revenue and a comfortable monthly budget if you choose to share them
• Anything else you choose to include in a message

Job applications. When you apply for a job, we collect what you submit in the application, which may include your name, contact details, location and willingness to relocate, the role and job type you want, your start date, languages, education (such as school, degree, and graduation date), work experience, desired pay range, résumé, cover letter, and portfolio. We use this only to review your application and contact you about it. Applications are stored on our website system and are not added to our marketing lists.

Phone calls. When you call a phone number shown in our ads or on the Site, the call may be routed through a Google forwarding number. Google may collect the caller’s area code and the time and length of the call, and may record the call. You will hear a notice before a recorded call connects. See “Call Tracking and Call Recording” below.

Information collected automatically. When you use the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, how you arrived at the Site (such as the ad or link you clicked), and similar usage information through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies. When you use the Marketing Budget Calculator, we may also record which steps you complete and which answers you pick, without your name or contact details, to understand how the tool is used.

Business identification. Our CRM provider, HubSpot, may use the IP address of your visit to identify the company or organization your network belongs to (not you personally), so we can understand which businesses are interested in our services.

Public business information. When you run a Local Rank Audit, we look up publicly available information about the business you select (such as its Google Business listing, address, website, ratings, and search rankings) to produce your results.

How We Use Your Information

• To run your Local Rank Audit and show you the results
• To build your marketing budget, email you a copy, set up your consultation, and prepare your proposal
• To contact you by email or phone about your results and our services, if you agree to be contacted
• To respond to your questions and requests
• To review job applications and contact applicants
• To answer and evaluate calls, including whether a call came from our advertising
• To maintain and improve the Site and understand how it is used
• To measure how well our advertising works and show our ads to people who have visited the Site
• To prevent spam, fraud, and abuse, including limiting how often audits can be run
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do use advertising cookies and pixels from Google and Meta, as described below. Some state privacy laws may treat this as “sharing” information or “targeted advertising.” You can opt out at any time (see “Your Advertising Choices” and “Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control”).

How We Share Information

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Site and our business, and only as needed for them to provide their services to us. These include:

• HubSpot: customer relationship management, website forms, meeting scheduling, emails about your request, analytics, and business identification
• Mailchimp: email communications
• Local Dominator: local search ranking scans (we send the business details, not your personal contact information)
• Google: business search, maps, website fonts, website analytics (Google Analytics), advertising measurement and remarketing (Google Ads), call tracking and call recording, and spam protection (reCAPTCHA)
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram): advertising measurement and remarketing
• Cloudflare: spam and bot protection on our forms (Turnstile)
• Automattic (Gravatar): profile images shown on some pages
• Our website hosting provider

Some of these services, such as Google Maps, Google Fonts, reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, and Gravatar, load directly from their own servers when you view a page. They receive your IP address and browser information and may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a merger, sale, or transfer of our business.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

The Site uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, from us and from partners including Google, Meta, and HubSpot. They help us remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the Site, connect form submissions to your visit, and measure and improve our advertising.

• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect traffic data.
• Advertising: We use Google Ads and the Meta Pixel to measure how well our ads work and to show our ads to people who have visited the Site (this is called remarketing). Third-party vendors, including Google and Meta, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from this Site and elsewhere on the internet. They use it to measure ad results and to show you ads based on your past visits to this Site on other websites and apps. We and third-party vendors such as Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) together to report on and improve our ads.
• Information sent to Meta: When the Meta Pixel runs, Meta receives the pages you view and actions you take on the Site, your IP address, browser information, and Meta cookie identifiers. We also send this information to Meta from Meta’s own servers (Meta’s Conversions API) to make ad measurement more reliable. This only happens when the Meta Pixel is allowed to run.
• Form submissions: When you submit a form, we may share your email address and phone number with Google and Meta in a hashed (coded) form so they can tell us whether one of our ads led to your inquiry.
• HubSpot: HubSpot cookies connect your visits to any form you submit, so we can follow up on your request.
• Spam protection: Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile check whether a form is being filled out by a person or a bot. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Call Tracking and Call Recording

We use Google Ads call tracking to learn which ads and pages lead to phone calls. If you arrive from one of our Google ads, the Site may show a Google forwarding number that connects to our office line. Google records the caller’s area code and the time and length of the call.

Calls to these numbers may be recorded. You will hear a notice before a recorded call connects. If you do not want your call recorded, you can hang up and email us at hello@manticore.marketing instead. Google may use automated tools to review recordings and tell us whether a call was a sales inquiry. Call details and recordings are kept in our Google Ads account under Google’s retention settings.

Your Advertising Choices

• Google: Turn off personalized ads at adssettings.google.com. To keep your visits out of Google Analytics, use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
• Meta: Adjust your ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings.
• Many advertising companies at once: Opt out at optout.aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance) or optout.networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative).
• Global Privacy Control: Turn on GPC in your browser (see below).
• Your browser: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, so the Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of advertising for your visit: the Meta Pixel and HubSpot tracking do not run, and Google Ads does not set advertising cookies or use your visit for remarketing. Google may still receive limited information without cookies (such as that a page was viewed or a form was submitted) to estimate how many results our ads produce. Basic Site analytics (Google Analytics) still run.

Your Choices

• Emails: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email we send.
• Access, correction, or deletion: You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it by emailing hello@manticore.marketing. We will respond within 45 days. We may need to keep some information where required by law or for legitimate business records.
• Advertising: See “Your Advertising Choices” above.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as following up on your audit or maintaining a business relationship, unless you ask us to delete it or a longer period is required by law. In particular:

• Google Analytics data: 14 months
• Job applications: up to 2 years after the position is filled, unless you ask us to delete yours sooner
• Call details and recordings: according to Google Ads retention settings

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmitting or storing data online is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

The Site and your audit results may link to other websites, such as business websites and map listings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
