Own the Box Marketing LLC ("OTB," "we," "us") is a Rhode Island company that publishes shared-mail postcards for local businesses. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through ownthebox.net, how we use it, and the rights you have. We keep this short and honest because we believe small-business owners should be able to read a privacy policy without a lawyer.

When you fill out a form on our site or sign up to advertise, we may collect:
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool. Plausible is cookieless, does not track visitors across sites, does not use browser fingerprinting, and does not collect any personal data. It records aggregate numbers like how many people visited a page and which country they came from. We do not know who you are from the analytics data.
We never sell your personal data. We never rent it. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
We use a small set of trusted vendors to run the business. These vendors have their own privacy practices:
The site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cross-site tracking. If technical cookies are ever used (for example, to keep a form session alive), they are limited to first-party functional use and are not shared with anyone.
No matter where you live, you can email [email protected] to ask us to:
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of, but we will confirm that in writing if you ask.
Under the Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act, Rhode Island residents may ask us what categories of personal information we collect and with whom we share it. The categories are listed in Section 2, and the third parties are listed in Section 5. You may contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and the right to object to processing. Our lawful bases for processing are: your consent (marketing messages), the performance of a contract (fulfilling your ad order), and our legitimate interest in running a small publishing business. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
This is a business-to-business service. The site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, email [email protected] and we will delete it.
We take reasonable steps to protect your information:
No system is 100 percent secure. If we ever experience a data incident that affects you, we will notify you as required by law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after the updated date means you accept the revised policy. For a material change that affects how we use your personal information, we will also try to notify active customers by email.
