Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 21, 2025
Website: https://ads.cforick.com
Owner/Operator: CFORICK, 1428 Shotwell Street, San Francisco, CA 94128, info@cforick.com
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information in connection with the Site.
1) Information We Collect
Information you provide:
- Name
- Company name
- Phone number
Information collected automatically (cookies & similar tech):
- Device, browser, and network information
- Pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages
- Interactions with the Site and ads
We use cookies and similar technologies from Meta, Google Analytics, and TikTok to monitor behavior for advertising/analytics and to enable remarketing.
2) How We Use Information
We use the information to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Site;
- Respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
- Measure and understand Site performance and user engagement;
- Conduct advertising and remarketing (showing our ads on other sites/apps based on your activity);
- Maintain security and prevent fraud;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
3) Cookies & Tracking
We use first-party and third-party cookies/pixels (Meta, Google Analytics, TikTok) for analytics, audience measurement, and advertising/remarketing. You can control cookies via your browser settings. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising via platform ad preferences or mobile device settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” / “Opt out of Ads Personalization”).
4) Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)
Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our processing is based on:
- Consent (e.g., analytics/advertising cookies where required);
- Legitimate interests (e.g., Site performance, security, basic analytics);
- Contract (responding to your inquiries);
- Legal obligations.
5) Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We may share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising/remarketing with our advertising and analytics partners (e.g., Meta, Google, TikTok) as permitted by law. We also share with service providers that process data on our behalf under appropriate contracts.
6) “Do Not Sell or Share” (California)
If you are a California resident, you may opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor browser signals where required (e.g., Global Privacy Control). If you implement a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Site, we will respect selections made there.
7) Data Retention
- Contact form submissions (name, email, company, phone): retained as long as needed to respond and for up to 3 years after last interaction, unless a longer period is required by law.
- Analytics/advertising identifiers and event data: retained by us and/or partners for typical analytics/ads windows (commonly up to 26 months, depending on the platform settings).
We may retain data longer if necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
8) Your Privacy Choices & Rights
Cookie/Tracking controls:
- Manage cookies in your browser settings.
- Use platform ad preferences (e.g., Meta, Google, TikTok) and device settings to limit interest-based ads.
California (CPRA/CCPA) rights:
- Know/Access: request details about personal information we collect/use/disclose;
- Delete: request deletion of personal information;
- Correct: request correction of inaccurate information;
- Opt-out of Sharing: opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising;
- Non-discrimination: we will not discriminate for exercising these rights.
EEA/UK rights (GDPR):
- Access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port data; object to processing; withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent).
To exercise rights, contact info@cforick.com. We may need to verify your identity and, where permitted, request limited additional information.
9) Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK where consent is required). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us to delete it.
10) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
11) International Transfers
We may process and store information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for transfers (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
12) Third-Party Services
Our partners (e.g., Meta, Google Analytics, TikTok) set their own cookies and process data per their policies. We do not control their practices. Review their privacy policies for details on how they handle data.
13) Do Not Track
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. We do not respond to these signals at this time, but we honor legally required signals where applicable (e.g., GPC in California).
14) Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” and, where appropriate, notify you on the Site.

Optional implementation notes (non-legal, for your devs)
- Add a footer link to “Privacy Policy,” “Terms of Service,” and “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” (if you want to expose a CPRA opt-out control).
- Configure your cookie banner to (a) disclose Meta/Google/TikTok cookies and remarketing, and (b) obtain consent where required (EEA/UK).
- Set Google Analytics data retention to ~26 months (or your preference) to match the policy, and document Meta/TikTok pixel retention defaults if you want tighter alignment.
- Set up GPC honoring if you expect California traffic and want belt-and-suspenders compliance.
