Be Above Media ("we," "our," or "us") operates beabovemedia.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data (with your consent)

When you accept our cookie notice, we collect analytics data to understand how visitors use our site. This includes:

  • Technical identifiers: a randomly generated visitor ID and session ID (stored in your browser's local storage — never tied to your name or email)
  • Page data: URLs visited, page titles, and referring websites
  • Campaign data: UTM parameters (e.g., utm_source, utm_medium) when you arrive from a marketing campaign
  • Device & browser data: screen size, browser language, time zone, operating system, and connection type
  • Behavioral data: scroll depth, time on page, click count, and whether the tab was backgrounded
  • IP address and approximate location: country, region, and city derived from your IP address by our hosting provider (Vercel)
  • Browser fingerprint elements: canvas rendering hash and WebGL renderer string, used to identify unique browsers without cookies

Contact Form Submissions

When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you provide. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

How We Use Your Information

  • To understand how visitors discover and interact with our website so we can improve it
  • To measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns
  • To respond to contact form submissions and inquiries
  • To monitor website performance and troubleshoot technical issues

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party tools that may process data about you:

  • Google Analytics 4 — measures website traffic and user behavior. Data is processed by Google LLC under their privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — our hosting provider collects anonymized performance metrics and page view data.
  • Resend — processes contact form submissions to send email notifications to our team.

Each third party operates under its own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies for details on how they handle your data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use browser local storage and session storage (similar in function to cookies) to:

  • Store your consent preference (so you don't see the notice on every visit)
  • Assign a persistent visitor ID for analytics continuity across sessions
  • Assign a session ID to group activity within a single visit

If you click "Decline" on our cookie notice, we will not load our analytics pixel or collect behavioral data. Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics may still collect limited data under their respective terms.

To reset your consent choice at any time, open your browser's developer tools, go to Application → Local Storage → beabovemedia.com, and delete the _bam_consent key.
