Privacy Policy

Information you share with us

When you submit an inquiry, we receive the details you provide, such as your name, email address, company or brand, website, inquiry category, and message. An event inquiry may include the organization hosting the event and the details you want us to consider. Newsletter signup collects your email address and subscription choice.

Please share only information relevant to your request. Do not send payment-card details, identification documents, health information, or other sensitive personal information through these forms.

How we use it

We use inquiry information to understand your request, route it to the right conversation, reply, and manage any resulting business relationship. We use newsletter signup information to send the Road2Retail updates you request and maintain your subscription preferences.

Submitting a contact or event inquiry does not, by itself, subscribe you to the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from newsletter emails using their unsubscribe link.

Services that help run the website

We use Wix to host the website and its content, and HubSpot to receive forms, manage contact and subscription records, and send newsletter communications. Wix also supplies website analytics, tag-management, and consent-management components.

If you allow analytics, HubSpot helps us understand visits and activity on this website. Its tracking code can process pages visited, visit times, IP addresses, browser information, and online identifiers. Where HubSpot recognizes a contact, website activity may be associated with that contact record. We have turned off HubSpot's optional intent-data sharing.

We use Usercentrics for Wix to display privacy choices and remember and manage consent preferences.

With your analytics consent, we use Google Analytics on www.road2retail.com and cpgignition.road2retail.com to understand visits, page use, and how people find our sites. The sites share one Analytics property and may use cookies on road2retail.com to recognize visits across these subdomains. Google processes online identifiers and technical information such as browser, device, and approximate location information. We do not send CPG Ignition form contents, free-text searches, or private admin activity to Google Analytics.

CPG Ignition is hosted through OpenAI Sites. Its public listing requests are sent to HubSpot for review. Approved atlas information comes from Airtable, with a published cache and image storage maintained by the hosting infrastructure.

Your browser also contacts external services when it loads features or content. These requests can include your IP address, browser/device information, and the page or content requested:

• Fonts load from Google Fonts.
• Playing an episode connects to the podcast audio host identified by our feed. Following a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, partner, or other external link takes you to that provider's service.
• Where a form uses Google reCAPTCHA, the service processes technical information to help distinguish genuine visitors from automated abuse.

These providers have their own privacy information: Wix, HubSpot, Usercentrics for Wix, and Google. Review the relevant provider's policy when using an external service.

Cookies and browser choices

Use the Privacy Settings control on this website to accept, deny, or change optional cookie categories. HubSpot website analytics loads only after you allow the Analytical category. Withdrawing that choice tells HubSpot to stop tracking and remove its tracking-consent cookies; previously submitted information is not automatically deleted. Cookie choices are separate from newsletter consent and do not subscribe you to emails.

Google Analytics also requires analytics consent. On CPG Ignition, use Cookie settings in the footer to allow or decline analytics; that choice is remembered in your browser for up to six months. The two sites manage consent separately, so you can change your choice on either site. Declining on CPG Ignition stops its Analytics collection and clears the shared Google Analytics cookies; it does not alter your newsletter subscription or delete information already submitted.

Our hosting, form, analytics, and security providers may use cookies or similar technologies to operate their services, measure website use, and protect against abuse. The technologies used depend on the features active on the site and the choices available to you. Browser controls can block or delete cookies and restrict third-party content, but some forms or media may then stop working. Those settings do not remove information you have already submitted to us.

Keeping information and handling requests

The time we keep information depends on its purpose, the status of your inquiry or relationship with us, your subscription choices, and any recordkeeping requirements that apply. Unsubscribing stops newsletter delivery; it does not necessarily delete past correspondence or the record needed to respect your preference.

You can contact us to ask about information we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and will explain any limits that apply.
