Audience Engagement: We work to identify and develop strategies for audience engagement, advertising, and promotional efforts across platforms, both within the Service and on external Channels. These strategies might rely on data you never expected to matter—data you thought might disappear after the page closed, but it doesn’t.
User Engagement and Purchases: We track purchase traffic and activity across the Service and Channels, reviewing your browsing history (if available). It's a quiet, mechanical sort of observation—watching every click, every hesitation. It’s not personal, they tell you, but it feels personal, doesn’t it? This also includes analytics and measuring the cost of traffic against the money made.
Commerce Offerings: Using cookies to track your browsing history and spending at third-party merchants’ sites allows us to offer you coupons and deals that seem uncannily accurate, like someone who knows just a little too much. It’s all part of the experience. You’re not shopping alone, really.
Lead Generation: We generate customer leads, and these leads are shared with third-party advertisers. It’s not always clear who’s listening. These efforts include marketing campaigns like email marketing and placements on our site—ads that follow, like whispers on every page.
Marketing to Customers: We may market to current and prospective customers and their employees who have shown interest in doing business with us, or who have done business with us before. Our marketing efforts include sending marketing emails or making phone calls to promote our business. It’s persistent. Maybe they remember you. Maybe they don’t. But it doesn’t stop.
IT Administration: Administering BumpBond.com LLC's information technology systems, including network and device administration, network and device security, and implementing data security policies. This includes compliance audits, identification, and mitigation of fraudulent activity. There’s always a shadow. Even in compliance.
Security: We use electronic security measures, such as monitoring login records and access details, to help mitigate the risk of security incidents. There’s a strange comfort in knowing they’re watching. But security’s a fickle thing, isn’t it? Someone is always watching.
