1. Introduction

Welcome to Area Code Technologies LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate on a "Web Presence as a Service" (WaaS) model, focusing on providing digital solutions to local businesses. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our subscription services, including our AI tools, hosting, and booking integrations.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services.

A. Personal Information

We may collect personal information such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers when you:

• Sign up for our services, such as our "Premier Tier" or "Essentials Tier" subscriptions.
• Request a free, no-obligation prototype of an initial site.
• Use our "AI Web Assistant" chatbot to answer FAQs or capture lead details.

B. Calendar and Scheduling Data

If you utilize our Booking System, we may integrate with your personal calendar services (such as Google, Outlook, or iCloud) to sync real-time availability and prevent double-booking.

C. Usage and Analytics Data

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Site. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include:

• Visitor Behavior: We track data to provide monthly breakdowns, including which towns visitors are visiting from.
• Lead Origins: We track which pages on the site are converting the best and how many leads originated from the website.

D. Customer Feedback Data

We collect feedback data through our Reputation Management system. This includes a feedback loop that routes negative feedback to a private form to resolve issues offline, while encouraging satisfied customers to leave public reviews.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect or receive for the following purposes:

• To Provide Services: We use your data to deliver our flat-fee subscription services, handling design, hosting, and maintenance without large upfront capital expenditures.
• To Manage Bookings: We use your calendar data to facilitate the real-time scheduling tool integrated into your site, allowing customers to book consultations 24/7.
• To Improve Your Digital Footprint: We use data to manage your Google Business Profile (GBP), including claiming, verifying, and optimizing your profile with business hours and photos.
• To Execute Marketing Strategies: We use location data to build and index dedicated landing pages for neighboring towns/cities to capture local search traffic from surrounding markets.
• To Maintain Social Presence: If you subscribe to our "Social Autopilot" add-on, we use your account information to post to your Google and Facebook pages using AI.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share information we have collected in specific situations:

• Third-Party Tools: We utilize AI-driven growth tools and analytics platforms to generate ROI reports and optimize images (removing background clutter and fixing lighting).
• Google and Social Media: We interact with Google Maps/Business Profile and Facebook to manage your reputation and ensure your feed remains active.

5. Third-Party Websites

Our website and services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third-party providers who advertise, but are not affiliated with, our website.

6. Security of Your Information

We aim to replace the high-friction agency model with a system that ensures your digital footprint runs on autopilot. While we act as your dedicated digital partner handling maintenance and security, please remember that no transmission of data over the internet is 100% secure.
