Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Total Apex Media LLC (“Total Apex Media,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit totalapexmedia.com and other sites in our network that link to this policy, or when you contact us.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact form: your name, email address, topic, any article link and your message.
• Job and contributor applications: your name, email, optional phone number, location, the role you’re interested in, experience, writing samples, profile links and anything else you choose to tell us.
• Newsletters, if offered: your email address and preferences.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our servers and service providers automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring site and the date and time of your visit. We may use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, security, analytics and advertising.

How we use information

• To respond to messages, corrections, tips and applications.
• To operate, secure, maintain and improve our sites.
• To understand how readers use our content (analytics).
• To show advertising, which may be personalized where permitted by law and your choices.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

Form submissions are emailed to our team and stored securely in our website administration system. We keep applications for up to 24 months and contact messages for as long as needed to respond and keep reasonable records, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers that help us run our sites (such as hosting, email, analytics and advertising partners) under appropriate obligations; when required by law; or to protect our rights, users or the public. If our business is sold or reorganized, information may transfer as part of that transaction.

Third-party services and content

Our pages may load fonts, images, schedules, standings and other content from third parties, and we may use third-party analytics and advertising providers that set their own cookies. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies. Links to other websites are not covered by this policy.

Your choices and rights

• You can control cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of personalized advertising at optout.aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org/choices.
• Depending on where you live (for example, California, other U.S. states with privacy laws, the EU or the UK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, to opt out of “sales,” “sharing” or targeted advertising, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
• To make a request, contact us. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law.

Children

Our sites are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Applicants must be 18 or older. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
