Privacy Policy

Last Updat­ed: Sep­tem­ber 17, 2026

DC Mar­ket­ing Group (“we,” ​“our,” or ​“us”) oper­ates the web­site locat­ed at www​.dcmar​ket​ing​group​.co. This pol­i­cy explains what infor­ma­tion we col­lect, how we use it, and who we share it with.

1. Infor­ma­tion You Provide

When you fill out our con­tact or con­sul­ta­tion request form, we col­lect your name, com­pa­ny name, phone num­ber, email address, and the details of your mes­sage. This infor­ma­tion is used sole­ly to respond to your inquiry and fol­low up about our services.

If you sub­scribe to our blog, we col­lect your email address through Mailchimp to send you updates. You can unsub­scribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

2. Infor­ma­tion Col­lect­ed Automatically

When you vis­it our Site, cer­tain infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly through the tools described below.

Google Ana­lyt­ics 4 (Google LLC)

We use Google Ana­lyt­ics to under­stand how vis­i­tors use our Site — pages viewed, time spent, and gen­er­al traf­fic pat­terns. Google Ana­lyt­ics assigns your brows­er a per­sis­tent, pseu­do­ny­mous iden­ti­fi­er and col­lects your IP address and brows­er infor­ma­tion; it does not col­lect direct­ly iden­ti­fy­ing infor­ma­tion such as your name or email address. We do not use Google Ana­lyt­ics for adver­tis­ing or remar­ket­ing pur­pos­es. For infor­ma­tion on Google’s data prac­tices, vis­it poli​cies​.google​.com/​p​r​ivacy. You can opt out of Google Ana­lyt­ics track­ing at tools​.google​.com/​d​l​p​a​g​e​/​g​a​o​ptout.

Google reCAPTCHA (Google LLC)

We use Google reCAPTCHA to pro­tect our forms from spam and auto­mat­ed abuse. reCAPTCHA runs on every page that includes a form and may col­lect your IP address, brows­er and device infor­ma­tion, and your inter­ac­tions with the page. For infor­ma­tion on Google’s data prac­tices, vis­it poli​cies​.google​.com/​p​r​ivacy.

Mailchimp (The Rock­et Sci­ence Group LLC)

Our blog sub­scrip­tion form is pow­ered by Mailchimp. If you sub­scribe, your email address is stored and processed by Mailchimp. Mailchimp also runs a site-track­ing script across our Site that records page vis­its and activ­i­ty, which it may asso­ciate with your email address if you’re a sub­scriber. For infor­ma­tion on Mailchim­p’s data prac­tices, vis­it mailchimp​.com/​l​e​g​a​l​/​p​r​ivacy.

Nice­Job (Nice­Job Inc.)

Our Site uses Nice­Job to dis­play cus­tomer reviews. Nice­Job may col­lect infor­ma­tion about your inter­ac­tion with the review wid­get. For infor­ma­tion on Nice­Job’s data prac­tices, vis­it nice​job​.com/​p​r​ivacy.

Podi­um (Podi­um Cor­po­ra­tion Inc.)

We use Podi­um’s text-chat wid­get to allow vis­i­tors to send us a text mes­sage direct­ly from the Site. Podi­um assigns your brows­er a unique iden­ti­fi­er when the page loads, before any con­ver­sa­tion begins, and may col­lect your phone num­ber and mes­sage con­tent if you ini­ti­ate a con­ver­sa­tion. Podi­um uses Launch­Dark­ly (Cata­mor­phic Co.) to sup­port its own prod­uct fea­tures, and vis­it­ing our Site may send infor­ma­tion to Launch­Dark­ly as part of that process. For infor­ma­tion on Podi­um’s data prac­tices, vis­it podi​um​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​-​p​olicy.

Google Fonts and Web Fonts

Our Site loads web fonts from Google’s servers, which trans­mits your IP address to Google as part of the font deliv­ery process.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or share your per­son­al infor­ma­tion with third par­ties for adver­tis­ing pur­pos­es. Infor­ma­tion you pro­vide through our con­tact form may be shared with our team for the sole pur­pose of fol­low­ing up on your inquiry. The third-par­ty tools described in Sec­tion 2 process data accord­ing to their own pri­va­cy poli­cies, linked above.

Our Site con­tains links to third-par­ty web­sites includ­ing client sites, social media plat­forms, and part­ner orga­ni­za­tions. We are not respon­si­ble for the pri­va­cy prac­tices of those sites and encour­age you to review their poli­cies before pro­vid­ing any per­son­al information.
