Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Local Media HQ is operated by Luckiest Man Ventures LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, doing business as 8th Replay ("we," "us," or "our"). Headquartered in Williamson County, Texas, in the greater Austin area.

This policy covers the website at localmediahq.com. To reach us about anything in it, use our contact form or reply to any email we send you.

2. What we collect

• Newsletter signup: your email address, and the answers you choose to give to the short questions after you subscribe. Collected when you sign up, so we can send the newsletter and make it more useful to you.
• Booking a call: your name, email address and what you tell us about your business. Collected when you book a time, so we can prepare for and hold the call.
• Visit statistics: pages viewed, the kind of device and browser, an approximate location from your IP address, and how you reached the site. Collected by Google Analytics through cookies.
• Technical records: IP address, browser type and the time of each request, recorded automatically by our hosting providers to deliver and secure the site.

We do not ask for payment card details on this website, and the site has no accounts or logins.

3. How we use it

• To send the newsletter and updates you signed up for.
• To reply to you and hold the calls you book.
• To tell you about our services. You can opt out at any time.
• To understand which pages are useful and improve the site.
• To keep the site working and secure, and to meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

4. Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers. Each receives only what it needs to do its job.

• Signup form: the newsletter signup is a greetform, our sister product, which stores your answers and passes your subscription to our email platform.
• Email platform: Beehiiv stores our subscriber list and sends the newsletter.
• Scheduling: TidyCal handles call bookings.
• Analytics: Google Analytics measures visits to the site.
• Hosting: Vercel hosts the site, and Cloudflare provides domain services and serves images and files.
• Podcast: episode pages link to or play episodes hosted on other platforms, which may collect information under their own policies when you play one.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the safety of others. If the business is sold or reorganized, information may transfer to the new owner under this policy.

5. Cookies and tracking

The site uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies to tell visits apart and count them. We may also use advertising and measurement tools from other companies, which set their own cookies. You can block these cookies in your browser settings, or use Google's opt-out browser add-on, and the site will still work.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your subscription for as long as you stay subscribed, and remove you from mailings when you unsubscribe. We keep booking details and our correspondence for up to three years after our last contact. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months. Hosting logs are kept by our providers for a short period.

7. Your choices and rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can opt out of our email at any time with the unsubscribe link or by asking. To make a request, use our contact form or reply to any email from us. We respond to requests within 30 days.

California residents: you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request deletion, and not to be treated differently for making a request. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in California law.
