Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

1. Overview

Cecil Jones Marketing, operated by Acquire, Inc. ("CJM," "we," "us," and "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how Personal Information is collected and used when visiting ceciljonesmarketing.net, communicating with the company, or when they otherwise process your Personal Information through the "Platform," except regarding their processor role.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to data subjects of customers whose Personal Information CJM receives through its services. Customers use the platform to store and process their own customers' Personal Information for activities like creating websites, offering products, sending communications, or otherwise processing data. In those cases, CJM acts as a processor and service provider. When data is given to a customer or collected on their behalf, our customer's privacy notice, rather than this Privacy Policy, will apply to processing.

Users are instructed not to use the Platform if they disagree with the policies. By accessing or using it, they agree and consent.

2. Information That CJM Collects About You

Information is collected:

  • Directly from you when subscribing to newsletters, creating accounts, making purchases, or requesting information — including name, contact, billing, shipping, communication details, and account credentials. If you submit Personal Information about others, you are responsible for making sure that you have the authority to do so and to allow usage per this Privacy Policy.
  • From third parties through marketing partners, vendors, suppliers, event hosts, public database providers, or research partners. This may include name, contact details, professional information, and publicly available content.
  • Automatically when you use the Platform, collecting device information like IP address, interaction data, and through cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies. A separate Cookies Policy applies.

3. How CJM Uses Information It Collects About You

Purposes include:

  • Functionality and Development: to provide, offer, personalize, and improve the Platform; measure usage; diagnose server problems; provide security; perform data analysis; generate updates and reports; and check proper functioning. Update functions may automatically check your system to refresh or modernize files for security and features.
  • AI Features: AI tools may enhance performance capabilities. We do not use your Personal Information to train generalized, public AI models. Specialized AI subprocessors are limited to providing the specific service being used.
  • Customer Support: to provide support for the Platform.
  • Business Operations: for accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation, collection, and contractual obligations.
  • Communication: sending messages about the Platform and accounts, customer service responses, alerts like security updates, and marketing materials per communication preferences.
  • Protect and Secure: crime or fraud monitoring and prevention, cybersecurity.
  • Advertising and Marketing: using Personal Information about advertisements viewed and other collected data to provide personalized content, verify eligibility for promotional offers, engage in targeted advertising, and study campaign effectiveness — including data from the affiliate referral program.
  • Statistical Purposes: compiling Platform statistics into traffic reports to understand and respond to user needs.
  • Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance: complying with legal obligations and protecting legal rights.

Legal Basis for Our Use: Certain data protection laws require identifying a valid legal basis before processing Personal Information. CJM collects Personal Information only with consent, when needed to perform a contract, when there is a legal obligation, or when processing is in legitimate interests — such as processing for administrative purposes, direct marketing, product development or improvement, and preventing fraud.

If information is required by law or contract, it will be made clear at collection, including whether it is mandatory and consequences of not providing it. For legitimate interests, we will take reasonable steps to provide clear notice and describe those interests.

CJM is the Data Controller for Personal Information collected through the Platform in the EEA and UK, except for Processor Services or where a supplemental policy says otherwise. Contact details are in the "How to Contact Us" section.

4. How CJM Protects Your Information

The Platform is designed to provide reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and organizational security measures to protect Personal Information against loss, destruction, and unauthorized access or disclosure. Suppliers and vendors must apply similar protections. Users must also protect their data and systems. No technology, data transmission or system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe your interaction is no longer secure, notify CJM immediately.

5. When CJM Shares Your Information

Information may be disclosed to:

  • Affiliates and Subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Service Providers for contracted services like product delivery, website hosting, data analysis, IT services, auditing, or customer service. Anonymized or aggregated information may be shared for analysis and trend identification. Our contracts with suppliers and vendors include provisions to protect your Personal Information and limit its use.
  • Partners for marketing, joint products, product integration, or facilitating services. Through the affiliate referral system, if you visit through an affiliate link, we will share information about you back to the referral partner, including name, email address, and account plan.
  • Advertising and Marketing partners to deliver content, personalized ads, and study campaign effectiveness. Content may be based on prior purchases, device location, viewed advertisements, or cookies. Users can change device settings regarding location sharing.
  • Connections to Social Networks and Third-Party Services: If you connect third-party services, you agree to provide information under their terms. For YouTube connections, the Google Privacy Policy applies, and you may revoke our access to your data via the Google security settings page.
  • Sales, Mergers & Acquisitions as part of corporate transactions including reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, or bankruptcy proceedings.
  • Legal, Regulatory, or Related Purposes when required by law or in good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary for investigations or legal proceedings, including in response to subpoenas, search warrants, or court orders.
  • At Your Direction or With Your Consent.

We do not share your phone number, text messaging originator opt-in data, or consent with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text messaging services.

6. SMS Communications & A2P 10DLC Compliance

When you provide your phone number through any form on our Site, you may be presented with options to consent to SMS communications. We maintain two distinct consent categories:

  • Transactional SMS: Messages directly related to your engagement with us — appointment reminders, scheduling confirmations, and service-related updates. You may consent to transactional messages independently of marketing messages.
  • Marketing/Promotional SMS: Messages about growth insights, new content, offers, and promotional material. This consent is separate and optional. You are never required to consent to marketing SMS to submit a form or engage our services.

Opting Out: You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive. After opting out, you will receive a confirmation message confirming your opt-out. You may also contact us directly to manage your communication preferences.

Message and Data Rates: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. We are not responsible for any charges incurred from receiving SMS messages.

Consent Is Not a Condition of Purchase: Providing your phone number and/or consenting to receive SMS messages is never a condition of purchasing any service from CJM. You may submit any form on our Site without consenting to SMS communications.

We do not share your phone number, text messaging originator opt-in data, or consent with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text messaging services.

7. Data Retention

Personal Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. Longer retention may occur in the event of complaints or prospect of litigation. Determining appropriate retention considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, risk of harm from unauthorized use, processing purposes, and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means. Users can request deletion; in some circumstances, we will anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, which may be used indefinitely without further notice.

8. Information From Children

CJM does not knowingly collect, use, disclose, sell, or share Personal Information from children under 16. If such collection is discovered, steps will be taken to delete it promptly. If you are under 16, do not provide any information about yourself to CJM.

9. Links to Other Websites and Services

CJM is not responsible for practices of linked websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the policies and practices of third parties not operating on CJM's behalf, including any app developer, social media platform, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer.

14. International Data Transfers

CJM is headquartered in the United States and may transfer Personal Information between the US, affiliates, and business partners in other countries, including India, in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies to protect information. Processing will meet Privacy Policy commitments and comply with applicable law.

For EEA, UK, or Swiss-originating data transferred outside those regions, CJM participates in the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK extension, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over CJM's compliance with these frameworks. CJM may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful public authority requests. CJM is liable in cases of onward transfers to third parties.

15. Data Privacy Framework

CJM complies with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. CJM has certified adherence to the applicable DPF Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles or Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. CJM agrees to notify without undue delay if self-certification is withdrawn, terminated, revoked, or invalidated, and take steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing.

16. Privacy Policy Updates

CJM may change this Privacy Policy at any time, at its discretion. Users will be notified of changes if required by law. Your continued use of the Platform after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of and consent to those changes, so periodic checking is advised.
