Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Badgr.Pro is an online platform operated by Mad Badger Marketing Incorporated. Badgr.Pro helps consumers find a selected local company for a specific service and area.

This Privacy Policy explains how Mad Badger Marketing Incorporated, doing business through Badgr.Pro, collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit the Badgr.Pro website, search for a local service company, recommend a provider, apply to become a provider, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with Badgr.Pro.

In this Privacy Policy, “Badgr.Pro,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Mad Badger Marketing Incorporated and the Badgr.Pro platform. “You” and “your” refer to visitors, consumers, provider applicants, participating providers, and other users of the website.

By using Badgr.Pro, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Badgr.Pro.

Information You Provide Directly

Most consumers can search Badgr.Pro and review provider pages without creating an account or submitting personal information to us.

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Recommend a local company
• Apply to become a Badgr.Pro provider
• Contact Badgr.Pro
• Request information
• Submit feedback
• Communicate with us
• Participate in a survey, promotion, or similar activity

This information may include:

• Professional or licensing information
• Information about a company you recommend
• The reason you are recommending a company
• The contents of messages or other information you submit

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your communication.

ZIP and Postal-Code Searches

When you enter a U.S. ZIP code or Canadian postal code, Badgr.Pro uses that information to determine whether a selected company is available for the service and area you requested.

A ZIP or postal code generally identifies an area rather than a particular individual. However, search information may be processed with technical information such as an IP address, device identifier, browser information, or website activity.

Badgr.Pro does not use the service search to distribute your information to competing companies.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit or use Badgr.Pro, we and our technology providers may automatically collect information such as:

• IP address
• Approximate geographic location
• Browser type and version
• Device type
• Operating system
• Language preferences
• Referring website or source
• Pages viewed
• Links and buttons selected
• Search activity
• Dates and times of visits
• Time spent on pages
• Advertising and device identifiers
• Cookie and similar technology information
• General interaction and performance data

This information helps us operate, secure, analyze, advertise, and improve Badgr.Pro.

Information About Providers

We may collect information about local companies from:

• Provider applications

3. Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies

Badgr.Pro uses cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website activity, measure performance, prevent misuse, and evaluate advertising.

These technologies may collect or associate information with your browser or device.

Essential Technologies

Some technologies are necessary for website operation, security, routing, accessibility, fraud prevention, and basic functionality.

Analytics Technologies

Analytics information may include pages viewed, referral sources, approximate location, device information, interactions, and other usage data. Google may process this information according to its own privacy policies and settings.

Google, Meta, and other advertising providers may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, and similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.

• A cookie or privacy-preference tool provided on Badgr.Pro
• Your browser settings
• Your device settings

5. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Technology and Service Providers

We may disclose information to companies that provide services such as:

• Website hosting
• Cloud storage

• Email delivery
• Communications
• Customer relationship management
• Website security
• Form processing
• Database management

These companies may process information on our behalf or according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Local Service Companies

When you use an active Badgr.Pro provider page, you decide whether to contact the displayed company directly. Telephone calls, text messages, emails, website visits, or transactions with that company may be governed by the company’s own privacy practices.

Badgr.Pro does not submit a consumer service search to multiple competing companies.

If you recommend a provider, we may use the submitted information to evaluate or contact that company. We will not intentionally identify you to the recommended company unless you authorize us to do so or disclosure is reasonably necessary to address your submission.

Advertising and Analytics Providers

We may disclose or make information available to analytics and advertising providers through cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies. These providers may use the information to measure activity, provide services, prevent fraud, or deliver and evaluate advertising.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process
• Respond to lawful requests from public authorities
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Badgr.Pro, Mad Badger Marketing Incorporated, providers, visitors, or others
• Investigate fraud, abuse, security threats, or violations of our Terms
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business Transactions

Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Badgr.Pro does not sell personal information for money.

Our use of analytics and advertising technologies may involve disclosures that certain privacy laws define broadly as the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising.

Where applicable law provides the right to opt out of these activities, you may exercise that right through an available cookie or privacy-preference tool or by contacting us using the information provided below.

Where required by applicable law, Badgr.Pro will process recognized browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as requests to opt out for the browser or device sending the signal.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children.

7. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:

• Know whether we process your personal information
• Request access to personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Obtain a copy of certain personal information
• Opt out of targeted advertising
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request
• Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights

These rights are not absolute and may apply only when a particular privacy law covers Badgr.Pro, the information, and the request.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may retain information when permitted or required by law, including information needed for security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, contract enforcement, or legal claims.

Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We may require evidence of the agent’s authority and verification of your identity.

If we deny a request, residents of jurisdictions that provide an appeal right may appeal by contacting us and clearly labeling the request “Privacy Appeal.”

8. Canadian Privacy Rights

If Canadian privacy law applies, you may request information about the existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information. You may also request access to or correction of your information, subject to lawful exceptions.

Where our processing depends on consent, you may withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain features or respond to a request.

Canadian residents may direct privacy questions or complaints to our designated privacy contact. You may also have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or an applicable provincial privacy authority.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• Provide and improve Badgr.Pro
• Respond to communications
• Evaluate recommendations and applications
• Maintain provider and business records
• Fulfill contractual obligations
• Protect website security
• Prevent fraud and abuse
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Comply with legal, accounting, and reporting obligations

Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the reason it was collected, legal requirements, and operational needs.

Aggregated or deidentified information may be retained for longer periods when it cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information.

11. International Processing

Mad Badger Marketing Incorporated is based in the United States. Information may be processed or stored in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you live. Where required, we use appropriate measures for international information transfers.

12. Third-Party Websites and Providers

Badgr.Pro contains links and contact methods that connect you with independent local companies, social networks, review platforms, and other third-party websites or services.

Badgr.Pro does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of independent third parties. This Privacy Policy does not govern information you provide directly to a local service company or another third party.

You should review the privacy policy of any company or service before providing personal information.

13. Telephone Calls and Text Messages

When you call or text a provider using the contact information displayed on an active provider page, you are communicating directly with that provider unless Badgr.Pro clearly states otherwise.

The provider may collect your name, telephone number, address, project information, and other details according to its own privacy practices. Badgr.Pro does not control how an independent provider handles information you give directly to it.

Badgr.Pro may use call or message measurement technologies where disclosed. If tracking numbers, call recording, transcription, or message-routing technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated and any additional notices required by law will be provided.

14. Children’s Privacy

Badgr.Pro is intended for adults seeking or offering local services. It is not directed to children under 16.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to Badgr.Pro, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of the policy. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate or legally required.

Your continued use of Badgr.Pro after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised policy.
