Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2015  Last Updated: May 12, 2026

Reap and Sow Marketing (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit reapandsowmarketing.com (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have regarding your information.

By using our Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: When you fill out a form on our Site, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, website URL, and any other information you choose to share with us in the message field.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, approximate geographic location (derived from IP address), pages viewed, links clicked, referring URL, and timestamps of your visits.

Cookies and tracking technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, analyze traffic, and improve user experience. Specifically, we use:

  • HubSpot — for forms, contact management, email marketing, and visitor analytics
  • Google Analytics — for traffic analysis and site performance measurement

You can control cookies through your browser settings or through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the Site. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request

  • Deliver automated email sequences you’ve opted into
  • Analyze how visitors use our Site so we can improve it
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not sell your personal information. We may “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes (as defined under California law) when we use tools like Google Ads or similar platforms. You can opt out of this sharing — see Section 6 below.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable, we process your information based on:

  • Your consent (for marketing emails and non-essential cookies)
  • Our legitimate business interests (for analytics, site improvement, and security)
  • Contractual necessity (to deliver services you’ve requested)
  • Legal obligations (when required by law)

4. How We Share Your Information

We share information only with:

  • Service providers who help us operate our business, such as HubSpot (CRM and email), Google (analytics and advertising), and our website hosting provider. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
  • Legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our legal rights.
  • Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Form submissions and inquiries are typically retained for up to 3 years for business and tax record purposes. Analytics data is retained according to the default settings of our analytics providers.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

  • Access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction — Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion — Request that we delete your personal information
  • Opt-out of marketing — Unsubscribe via the link in any email we send
  • Opt-out of “sharing” for advertising — Use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our Site footer, or send a request to the contact email below
  • Portability — Request your data in a portable format
  • Non-discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights

To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address in Section 10. We will respond within 45 days. We do not charge a fee for reasonable requests.

Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
