Privacy notice
Who we are
Broadcastwell LLC is a limited liability company formed in Indiana, United States. We are an AI search visibility research and consulting studio. Where this notice says we, us or our, it means Broadcastwell LLC.
You can reach us about anything in this notice at hello@broadcastwell.com.
What we collect
We collect very little. The only place we ask you for anything is the instant check form on this site. That form collects four things: your work email address, your company website, your product category, and a timestamp recording when the form was submitted.
We do not ask for a name, a phone number, a job title, a billing address, or payment details anywhere on this site. We do not collect special category data, and we do not knowingly collect anything from children.
We do not run analytics on this site. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, no session recording, no heatmap tool, and no third-party tag manager. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell or rent data to anyone.
Why we use it and our legal basis
We use what the form collects to run the check you asked for and to send you the results, and to follow up about that specific request. Where the GDPR applies, our legal basis is your consent when you submit the form, and our legitimate interest in responding to a business enquiry you initiated. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us.
Who processes it for us
Form submissions are sent to n8n Cloud, an automation platform operated by n8n GmbH, which receives and processes the submission on our behalf so we can run and deliver the check. n8n Cloud acts as a processor for us. Our site itself is built and hosted on Framer, operated by Framer B.V., which serves the pages you are reading.
We use ordinary business email to reply to you. We do not pass your submission to advertising networks, data brokers, or any other third party beyond what is needed to answer you.
International transfers
We are based in the United States and we correspond with recipients in the European Union, including Germany, so personal data may be transferred out of the EEA and the UK to the United States and processed there. Where a transfer of that kind needs a safeguard, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and on the transfer terms in our processors' own data processing agreements. If you would like to know what applies to a specific transfer, email us and we will tell you what we have.
How long we keep it
We keep instant check and full audit submissions, and the correspondence attached to them, for up to twenty-four months from your last contact with us, then delete them. If you ask us to delete your data sooner, we will do that, subject to anything we are separately required to retain by law.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw consent. In the EEA and the UK these rights come from the GDPR and the UK GDPR. If you are in the EEA or the UK you also have the right to complain to your national supervisory authority, and if you are in Germany that is the data protection authority for your federal state.
To exercise any of these, email hello@broadcastwell.com. We will respond within one month. We do not charge for a reasonable request, and we do not make you use a form.
Security and changes
We keep the amount of data we hold small on purpose, which is the main protection we can offer, and we restrict access to it to the people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we change this notice we will update the date shown at the top of this page. Material changes will be described in plain language rather than buried.
What an attorney should review
We are listing this openly rather than pretending the draft is finished. These are the open questions we know about.
- Whether Broadcastwell LLC needs to name a GDPR Article 27 representative in the EU or the UK, given that we contact recipients there.
- Whether a signed data processing agreement is in place with n8n GmbH and with Framer B.V., and whether their standard terms are enough for our use.
- Which transfer mechanism actually applies to each processor, and whether a transfer impact assessment is required.
- Whether the twenty-four month retention period is right, and whether any state law in the United States imposes a shorter or longer one.
- Whether US state privacy laws such as the CCPA and CPRA apply to us at our current size, and whether the notices and opt-out language they require need to be added.
- Whether CAN-SPAM, the ePrivacy Directive, and German competition rules on unsolicited business email are satisfied by how we send audit results and follow-ups.
- Whether anything in the instant check output constitutes a claim that needs its own disclaimer.
