Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Man of the World Media (“Man of the World,” “MOW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit mow.media (the “Site”), contact us, or otherwise interact with us online. It also explains the choices and rights you have.

By using the Site you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Site.

01Information we collect

Information you give us

When you use the contact form, call, email, or message us, we receive the details you choose to share, which may include:

• First and last name
• Email address and phone number
• Location (city or region)
• The content of your message and any information about your company or project

Our contact form does not store your submission on our servers. It prepares your message and opens WhatsApp so you can send it to us directly; once you send it, WhatsApp (operated by Meta) handles that message under its own privacy policy.

Information collected automatically

• Analytics (only with your consent). If you allow Analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 collects information such as pages viewed, time on page, referring site, approximate location (derived from IP address), device and browser type, and on-site interactions. IP addresses are not logged or stored by Google Analytics 4.
• Technical and security data. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes your IP address, browser type, and request details to deliver pages and protect the Site from abuse.
• Your consent choice. We store your cookie preferences in a first-party cookie so we can respect them. See our Cookie Policy.

Third-party content

Some pages use content from third parties. Typography is served by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to deliver the font files but does not set cookies. Keynote videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode and load only after you allow Functional cookies or click to play.

02How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries, schedule conversations, and provide proposals and services you request
• Send updates related to a project or relationship you have with us
• Understand how the Site is used and improve its content and performance (only where you have consented to analytics)
• Keep the Site secure and prevent fraud or misuse
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions

We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Any other use will be with your consent or as permitted by law.

03Legal bases for processing

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process personal information on the following bases: consent (analytics and functional cookies, which you can withdraw at any time); contract (steps you ask us to take before entering into, or while performing, an engagement); legitimate interests (responding to business inquiries and securing the Site, balanced against your rights); and legal obligation.

04How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law. We disclose personal information only to:

• Service providers that help us operate the Site and our business, such as website hosting, Google (Analytics and Fonts), YouTube video embeds, and communication tools, under terms that limit their use of the data
• Professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants, under duties of confidentiality
• Authorities or other parties when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MOW, our clients, or others
• A successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to this policy

05Cookies and your choices

We use a necessary cookie to remember your consent choice. Analytics, functional, performance, and advertisement cookies are off until you choose to allow them. Details of every cookie we use are in our Cookie Policy, and you can change your choice at any time under Consent Preferences.

Global Privacy Control. We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and keep advertisement cookies off. Because there is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” signals, we respond to GPC rather than DNT.

06How long we keep information

We keep inquiry and client correspondence for as long as needed to respond and maintain our relationship, and generally no longer than three years after our last interaction, unless a longer period is required for legal, tax, or accounting reasons or to resolve disputes. Analytics data is retained within Google Analytics for no more than 14 months. Your consent record is kept for 12 months, after which we ask again. Aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer identify you may be kept longer.

07Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you and how we use and disclose it
• Access and receive a portable copy of your personal information
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Delete your personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising (we do neither)
• Restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing
• Lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority

California residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), you have the rights listed above. In the past 12 months we have collected identifiers (such as name, email, phone, and IP address), internet or network activity (with consent), approximate geolocation, and professional information you choose to share, from you and your device, for the business purposes described in Section 2. We have not sold or shared personal information, we do not knowingly sell or share the information of consumers under 16, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require offering a right to limit. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Making a request

Email peter@mow.media or call (424) 460-0537. We will verify your request by matching information you provide with information we hold, and respond within 45 days (or within the time required by your local law). You may use an authorized agent; we may ask for proof of the agent’s authority and to verify your identity directly. If we decline a request, we will explain why, and where applicable you may appeal by replying to our decision.

08Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted HTTPS connections, to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

09International transfers

We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, for transfers of personal information from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.

10Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11Third-party websites

The Site links to websites and platforms we do not control, including client websites, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

12Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice on the Site or ask for your consent again where required.
