Privacy Policy

NGSC LLC, doing business as Near Strategy ("Near Strategy," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the website nearstrategy.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the Site, contact us, or use our services.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, email us, or call us, we may collect your name, company name, email address, phone number, the approximate number of business locations you operate, the services you are interested in, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, the pages you visit, the referring URL, the date and time of your visit, and general geographic location derived from your IP address.

Advertising click data. If you arrive at the Site from an online advertisement, we may collect campaign identifiers attached to your visit, such as UTM parameters and the Google click identifier (GCLID), so we can measure which advertising produced the inquiry.

2. How We Use Information

• To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about our services
• To provide, operate, and improve our services and the Site
• To measure the performance of our marketing, including attributing inquiries to the advertising campaign that produced them
• To maintain the security of the Site and our systems
• To comply with legal obligations

By submitting your contact information, you consent to being contacted by Near Strategy by phone, email, or text message regarding your inquiry. You may opt out of these communications at any time.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, analyze traffic, and measure marketing performance. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.

4. Google API Services

Near Strategy uses Google APIs, including the Google Ads API, solely to manage advertising accounts that we own or that are managed under our company's Google Ads manager account.

Data accessed through Google APIs is limited to advertising account and campaign data: campaign settings, performance metrics, and conversion data.

Near Strategy's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• We do not sell Google user data.
• We do not transfer Google user data except to service providers as needed to operate our systems.
• We do not use Google user data for advertising purposes beyond managing the advertising accounts themselves.
• We do not allow human review of Google user data except for internal operations, security, or legal compliance.

You can revoke Near Strategy's access to your Google account at any time through your Google security settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data accessed through Google APIs is retained only as long as needed for account management and reporting, and is deleted afterward.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with service providers that help us operate our business, such as website hosting, analytics, customer relationship management, and workflow automation providers. These providers are permitted to use the information only to provide services to us. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.

6. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide our services, and to comply with legal obligations, after which it is deleted or de-identified.

8. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at fred@nearstrategy.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is a business-to-business website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
