**How to Use This Policy**
1. Copy everything above (including the markdown formatting if your site supports it).
2. Replace any placeholders if needed (retention period is currently set to 3 years — adjust if different).
3. Add the link **“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”** in your site footer pointing to this page (or a dedicated opt-out section).
4. Update the shorter Notice at Collection on your contact form landing page and inside the Wufoo form using the version from my previous message.
This version is comprehensive, modern, and designed to help you meet CCPA/CPRA requirements for a marketing agency.
Would you like me to also create a shorter “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” opt-out page, or make any adjustments to this full policy?
