"Private Google Ads Strategy Community for Owner-Led Businesses"

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 8/1/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Brands2Ads, LLC (“Brands2Ads,” “we,” “us,” or “the Company”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with The Catalyst, our paid membership community for Google Ads and Performance Max (“PMax”) education, hosted via MemberPress/Clubsuite on our website (the “Site”). By using the Site or the Community, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide. When you register for The Catalyst, we (and our platform provider, MemberPress/Clubsuite) collect information such as your name, email address, username, password, and any profile details you choose to add.

1.2 Payment Information. Membership payments ($99/mo) are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number on our servers — Stripe collects and processes your payment details directly under its own privacy policy and PCI-compliant systems. We receive limited transaction information (such as payment status, last four digits of your card, and billing history) needed to manage your membership.

1.3 Content You Post. Forum posts, comments, questions, and any other material you submit within the Community are collected and stored as part of operating the Community.

1.4 Usage & Device Data. We automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs, via Google Analytics and similar tools.

1.5 Cookies. We use cookies and similar technologies (including those set by MemberPress/Clubsuite, Google Analytics, and our email marketing platform) to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and understand how the Site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect Site functionality.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your membership account and process payments;
  • Provide access to Community Content, forums, videos, and webinars;
  • Send transactional emails (billing receipts, account notices) and, where you have opted in, marketing emails through our email marketing provider;
  • Monitor, moderate, and improve the Community and Site, including analyzing usage trends via Google Analytics;
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, or violations of our Terms of Service;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

  • Service Providers: with MemberPress/Clubsuite (membership and community platform), Stripe (payment processing), Google Analytics (site analytics), and our email marketing platform (email communications), each of which processes information on our behalf and under its own privacy terms;
  • Other Members: content you post in the Community (forum posts, comments) is visible to other Members as part of normal Community functionality;
  • Legal & Safety: where required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Brands2Ads, our Members, or others;
  • Business Transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

4. Data Retention

We retain account and membership information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Community posts may remain visible after you cancel your membership unless you request removal, consistent with normal forum operation.

5. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Choices

6.1 Marketing Emails. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us at mike@brands2ads.com. You will continue to receive transactional emails related to your membership even if you opt out of marketing.

6.2 Account Information. You may review or update your account information through your account settings, or by contacting us directly.

6.3 Cookies & Analytics. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser and opt out of Google Analytics tracking using Google’s browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to: know what personal information we have collected about you and how it has been used and shared; request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions; correct inaccurate personal information; and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise these rights, contact us at mike@brands2ads.com; we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

8. European Users (GDPR/UK GDPR)

8.1 Legal Basis. If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process your information on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (to provide your membership), consent (for marketing emails and non-essential cookies), and legitimate interests (to operate, secure, and improve the Community).

8.2 Your Rights. You have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact mike@brands2ads.com.

8.3 International Transfers. Because our service providers (including Stripe, MemberPress/Clubsuite, and Google Analytics) and we operate in the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries outside your own, using appropriate safeguards where required.

8.4 Complaints. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Catalyst is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

10. Third-Party Links

The Community and Site may contain links to third-party websites (including Google Ads resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and this Policy does not apply to them.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice within the Community before they take effect. Continued use of the Site or Community after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
