Privacy

TAC works hard to respect the privacy of visitors to our site, as well as our clients.

The purpose of TAC is to collect agency and professional creative information, including visual information, from publicly available sources, and distribute it to the public so that TAC clients will receive more attention.

For this reason, everything TAC does is public, not private. All imagery is available publicly or rights-free. All company logos are the property of their respective owners, and are displayed for the purpose of boosting their owner's recognition.

What information do we collect?

Any information available freely over the internet, including images, client names, company names, mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and job titles. We also collect click data on TAC competitions.

TAC Judges Competition

Our judging competition is open and public. By competing in our judging competition, you give TAC the right to show your photo, use your name, position and employer. You may opt out at any time by contacting TAC and requesting to be removed.

What information might you receive from us?

When you list your creative work, subscribe to the TAC newsletter, or take any action where your email address is requested, you agree to receive communication from TAC in order to receive updates and newsletters by email. You may opt out at any time.

Cookies are not used by TAC, and our website is a “cookie-free” zone. This means that no additional information is collected from you when you visit our website, and multi-national advertising companies will not be targeting you with special advertising based on your interest in our website. We do not sell your information.

We will periodically communicate information with you via emails which may contain annual renewal notices and information about product updates.

It is also the nature of the marketing business for individuals to work for a variety of firms, including their own. For this reason, any one piece may be credited to two or more firms where the individuals responsible for the work may have previously worked together.

In the case of legal documents or non-disclosure agreements, it is the responsibility of the firm or individual displaying the work to remain in compliance. TAC is not responsible for violations of agreements which have not been revealed. However, upon notification, TAC will follow the terms of any such agreement, and take immediate action to come into compliance.

When printed material is found to be attributed incorrectly, it is the responsibility of the agency entering or listing the work to contact TAC immediately and request a correction.

If there are any concerns regarding creative work credited to any firm or individual listed in any TAC publication online or in print, please contact TAC to correct any errors.
