Privacy Policy — Marketing Department HQ

1. Who we are

Marketing Department HQ (“MDHQ,” “we”) operates marketingdepartmenthq.com, including the City Campaign Generator at /tool.

Last updated: September 5, 2026 September 5, 2026 (update on publish if different).

2. Google Sign-In on /tool

To receive your three campaign ideas by email, you sign in with Google. We use Sign-In only to get a verified email address (and basic profile info Google returns). We do not store a password for your Google account.

Scopes requested: openid, email, and profile only. We do not request Gmail, Drive, Contacts, or other Google data.

After you sign in, we email your three campaigns to that verified address. You may also share a business name so we can personalize follow-up.

3. What we collect

Email address (from Google Sign-In)
Name (optional; from Google profile if provided)
Google account subject ID (sub)
Business name (if you enter it)
Geo selections (state, metro, city) and business type
Generated campaign content
IP address and user agent (for rate limiting and abuse prevention)
Lead metadata (e.g. timestamps, source tags such as mdhq_tool_v1)

We do not collect free-text passwords or access your Google inbox.

4. Why we collect it

Deliver your three campaigns by email
CRM / sales follow-up about MDHQ services (you used a lead magnet)
Rate limiting and fraud / abuse prevention
Operate and improve the tool

6. How long we keep it

Lead records (email, geo, campaigns, and related metadata) are kept about one year by default unless we tell you otherwise or you ask us to delete sooner.

Signing out clears your browser session; it does not automatically delete stored lead records.

7. Your rights

You can request access to or deletion of your lead data by emailing us. We will verify the request and process it within 30 days.

8. Contact

9. Google API Limited Use

MDHQ’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We use Google user data only to authenticate you, obtain a verified email, and deliver / follow up on the campaigns you requested — not for advertising profiling unrelated to this service.

10. Children & B2B use

This tool is intended for business / marketing use by adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
