Advantage

1. Who We Are & Credibility

• Advantage is an independently small, operated freelance brand scaling agency that supports small businesses and starter-up businesses boost their profitable growth and public recognition over their targeted markets through running ads without any upfront charge.
• This private business is operated as an independent contractor, as only one party (the Mentor – Joanna) is directly involved in all of the operations in Advantage.
• This website and agency uses third person pronouns on the main page to convey professionalism. It is also used on our contracts, policies and procedures. However, Advantage is an independent contractor with only one-party (one person) directly affiliated in all of its operations (Joanna).
• Advantage does not have any external third parties that directly works with us. Advantage is an independently operated service by the Mentor (you can check the Mentor’s profile selecting the ‘Us’ tab).
• Despite that there are no external third parties that are directly involved in the works of this independently run freelance business, Advantage has indirect affiliations with Instagram, Facebook, including other social media platforms. However, these indirect connections are due to the fact that Advantage uses those platforms for the purposes of social networking with business clients and for other businesses to discover our services. (Essentially, it’s used for our professional profile. We’re just saying that we don’t have any direct contact with any social media platforms’ corporations or that we use these third parties against you when it comes to terms like tracking or analytics.)
• We at Advantage will never provide you or your business with any fraudulent information or false support, nor orchestrate unlawful acts that go against the law. The purposes of our negotiations with you are to grow your business through expanding its prominence over the targeted market you intend to reach out for by running ads for your small business.
• We do not discriminate against any individual or group. We welcome and support clients of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and abilities. Our mission is simple: to help any small business grow, no matter who you are.
• The method in which we deliver our appointments is through scheduled consultations via online format only. Our services are delivered in online format only.
• We really want to help your business grow, it’ll be professional and fun.

2. Through Using Our Services

• When we provide our services to you, as you access this website, you automatically adhere to the following regulations. If you do not align with these regulations, you must leave this site immediately and halt any affiliations with us:
• You will not be using or utilizing our services for unlawful purposes or use our services for criminal or illegal conduct. It is your responsibility to understand the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction, state, or any other area. We are not liable for the decisions you make.
• You will not be using our services for fraudulent financial transactions or for the purposes such as spam, scamming, identity fraud, in conjunction with other forms of financial coercive or potentially illegal actions.
• When we consult with you (online only), we are not liable if you do not have the proper technology in order to participate in a consultation with us. Moreover, it is your responsibility to be prepared with the technological supplies you need prior to your schedule appointment. We are not liable if your technology is broken or if there are any compromises from your behalf
• BEFORE WE EVER DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR BUSINESS, after consulting with you online or via your phone number, we will provide you with an electronic/online contract to sign that will contain other terms and conditions, policies, including other information that you agree to via your electronic signature (e-signature) as an agreement. We will NEVER make any unnotified or unexpected changes to your business operations without informing you prior and attaining your consent.
• You will not be using our services to discriminate against any demographics. (such as gender/sex, race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, career occupation, etc.). We do not condone or uphold such behavior in any way, shape or form.
• When working with our services, the criteria to be eligible is that you must be at least 15 years of age and older. You must also be running a small business, (whether you have a co-founder or not), and it must be a legitimate business (not fraudulent). You must also be financially literate in some way (any level, and we’ll help you), as we intend to remain professional with you and how we handle your business. You are responsible for being literate over the financial choices you make using your services. We are not liable for any official financial decisions you take, nor are we liable when you sign a contract with us (because you agreed to the content listed on it via your signature).
• If You Are Under the Age of Majority (US): If you are under the age of 18, if you schedule a consultation with us and if an agreement occurs in which Advantage will support your mini business, we will send an alternative contract to request official consent for us to work with you + your business and it must be signed by a parent/guardian via e-signature including your own signature. We will not be permitted to work with your business without the official consent required to do so, because you are a legal minor. You are also responsible for being financially literate and understanding that we want to remain professional with you and your business. We are not liable for your internet and financial activities. If we ever stop working with you and your business, we will notify you and your parent/legal guardian. In certain states, there are different laws and policies surrounding the work and labor age. Even though according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the federal minimum age to work is fourteen years old and older. Even though this is the minimum age, we will STILL require official permission from your parent/guardian because you are under the age of majority (18+). We will never be working with individuals under the age requirements, we will never store data from individuals under the age of 15 (see Privacy Policy). If we discover that such data is found, it will be deleted.
• When using our services, you must be fully committed about being serious when it comes to wanting to expand your business, and you must be located in the United States of America. We only work nationally, not internationally.
• You agree with our Privacy Policy listed below:

3. Privacy Policy

Creation of Privacy Policy: November 9, 2025

Last Updated: February 15, 2026

Effective Date: February 15, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Advantage (“the Agency,” “Mentor”, “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information of individuals and small businesses (“you” or “clients”) who visit our website at https://webadvantage1.org/ or otherwise interact with our services.

By using our website or engaging with our agency, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

• Book an online consultation with us by scheduling on the Calendly attached feature on our website (see “Contact” on navigation bar) or contacting us via email.
• SIGN A CONTRACT WITH US
• Schedule or participate in a consultation (via phone or video call) where you personally disclose information to us (such as state residence, email, your phone number, name, etc.)
• Communicate with us directly by phone, email, or through third-party platforms such as Shopify, Wix, or Facebook Marketplace depending on the client’s (“your”) business.

The personal data we may collect includes:

• Full legal name
• Financial Information (we’ll specify, see “How We Use Personal Information”.)
• Email address
• Phone number
• State of residence
• Town/City

How We Use Personal Information

We do not use cookies, analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel), or automated tracking technologies.

We would only use cookies and analytics (externally, third-party) to market your businesses’ intended targeted market or demographics to YOU (such as attaining lead generation for your behalf.). But we never track, record, or use cookies and analytics against you or your business.

We use your information only for legitimate professional purposes, including:

• Providing consulting and marketing services to support your business.
• Communicating with you regarding services, consultations, and ongoing projects.
• Maintaining business records for compliance purposes.

We do not use client data for newsletters, promotional emails, or advertising campaigns directed at you personally.

Clarification: we did mention in the previous section, that we collect your “financial information”. Here’s what we mean by that:

• When we consult with you and your business, you will be provided a mandatory contract that must be signed before we can officially work with you. It includes a revenue partnership where we make whatever you make, taking a percentage of your revenue without an overcharge (ever).
• We use the trusted third-party platform, Stripe, to send you an invoice when you owe us the periodic payment we require from you. (In accordance with the contract you agree with.). Stripe may collect your financial information based on what you put on the invoice WE send via using Stripe’s invoice system. So, it’s not really “us” that is collecting your information, and we will never store your personal banking information on our systems or data. The financial information you put into our sent invoices to you are only processed so we can retrieve what you owe to us. You can see Stripe’s Privacy Policy here –> Privacy Policy (Stripe).
• We, (“Advantage”), have no direct contact with Stripe nor do we directly work with their corporation. We simply use Stripe to process payments from your business.
• Stripe is how we process your transaction, as it is how we receive our periodic payments from your business revenue.
• We will also elaborate this on the contract we send you (if we both come to an agreement).
• Advantage will never illicitly store or collect your financial information for fraudulent, incriminating or deceptive purposes without your knowledge.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with external third parties for marketing (or telemarketers either), or any other unrelated purpose.

Your data may only be shared or accessed through third-party platforms (e.g., Shopify, Wix, Facebook Business) as part of our work with your business—and only to the extent necessary to perform our services.

Data Storage and Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

Client information is strictly stored securely and is accessible only to the agency operator (your mentor) on Advantage’s private, highly confidential database. External Client Data (such as general information about your business) may be stored or accessed through secure, reputable third-party platforms (such as Shopify, Wix, and Facebook Business). These third-party platforms are when we primarily work directly with your business depending on which one of these platforms you operate your business on (or whatever alternative platform your business operates on).

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as you remain a client or until you withdraw from working with us. If we terminate a client relationship, data associated with that client may be deleted or securely archived as necessary for legal compliance or legitimate business recordkeeping. Otherwise, if you decide to terminate our professional partnership,

we’ll simply just delete all the data and information that was stored or provided from you completely off our databases.

Your Rights Under California Law

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including:

• Right to Know: You may request details about what personal information we collect and how it’s used.
• Right to Delete: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be treated differently for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights or ask any questions, please contact us using the information provided via the email: JHTens34@protonmail.com

Age Requirements

Our website and services are intended for individuals with small businesses or starter-up businesses 15 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or store information from anyone under 15. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from someone under 15, we will delete it promptly. Those under the age of 18 who run their own smaller businesses will be provided an alternative contract that must be signed by a parent/guardian via electronic signature before we can start working with the client after an agreement has been reached. This is non-negotiable due to the legality and necessity for official permission.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our website or services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
