Privacy Policy

Updated: October 2026

We want you to know exactly what happens to the information you give us and the information we gather to run your audit.

Who we are

DigitalMarketingAudit.ai is run by Hive 8, LLC, a marketing agency in Seattle, Washington (hive8.us). In this policy, "we" means Hive 8, LLC.

What we collect

When you run an audit:

  • The website address you enter, and the public pages we read from that site (up to seven pages plus case studies, following the site's robots.txt)
  • Public information about the business: its Google Business listing and nearby competitors, the result of Google's mobile speed test on your home page, and your email domain's public DNS records
  • The audit result, which we store so you can return to it through a private link
  • Your internet address, used briefly to limit how many audits one connection can run; we do not store it with your audit
  • Basic usage analytics through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, such as pages viewed and whether an audit was started or completed

If you ask for the full plan

  • Your email address
  • Optional details you choose to give: your role, and what you want more of
  • Whether you ticked the optional box asking someone at Hive to contact you about help
  • Whether you ticked the separate optional box to receive marketing tips and offers
  • The industry page you started your audit from, if you came from one
  • Where you came from, if the link you used carried campaign (UTM) tags

What we do not collect

  • We do not access passwords, analytics accounts, ad accounts, or customer data of the business we audit.
  • We do not read pages that are not public, and we respect robots.txt.
  • We never ask for payment details.

How we use your data

  • To generate your marketing audit and show it to you
  • To email you the link to your full report
  • To answer questions you send us about your report. We only contact you about working with Hive if you ticked the box asking us to or booked a call with us
  • If you ticked the separate marketing box, to send occasional marketing tips and offers; you can unsubscribe at any time
  • To improve the accuracy of the audit and understand how the tool is used
  • To keep the service reliable and prevent abuse

Who processes your data

We do not sell your data. We use these providers to run the service, each only for the purpose shown:

  • Anthropic, to analyze the public content of the website you submit and write your audit
  • Google, for the Places lookup, the PageSpeed test, and analytics through Tag Manager and Google Analytics
  • Airtable, where we store audit results and the email and details of people who request the full plan
  • Resend, to send your report link
  • Vercel, which hosts the site

Data storage and deletion

We keep audit reports and lead details until you ask us to delete them. To request deletion, email privacy@digitalmarketingaudit.ai and tell us the website you audited and the email you used.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. The site's own code does not load advertising or retargeting pixels.

Children's data

DigitalMarketingAudit.ai is not intended for users under 16.

Changes

We will update this page and its date when what we collect or who processes it changes.
