We will process your request within 30 days from the time we received the request, or sooner where required by law.
If you would like to opt out of direct mail advertising in general, we recommend that you visit the DMA Choice website, at dmachoice.thedma.org. The DMA Choice service is managed by the ANA (Association of National Advertisers) and allows you to follow a few easy steps to ensure that your marketing preferences are honored. Many of our partners will only accept requests directly from you. We can provide that information upon request.
If you wish to opt out of online targeted ads (sometimes referred to as “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising), you can also visit the opt-out portals operated by the industry groups the National Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and you can learn more about how those opt-outs work on those linked web pages. Please note that these online opt-outs are cookie-based. Thus, if you browse the web from multiple browsers or devices, you will need to opt out from each browser and/or device, and for the same reason, if you change browsers or clear your browser cookie cache, you will need to perform this opt-out function again. Opting out in this way will not prevent you from seeing all types of online ads; it generally will prevent targeted ads customized to what advertisers think may be most likely to be relevant and of interest to you.
If King Marketing Group, Inc. markets to you by email, in our corporate capacity – such as if you are a client or prospective client of ours and we send information about our Services — you may “unsubscribe” from our marketing emails through a link placed in the emails.

King Marketing Group, Inc. takes steps to help ensure that the data we handle is transmitted securely. This may include various types of physical and electronic security, including firewall protections, encryption, hashing or truncating of data, and access controls. While neither we nor any platform can guarantee 100 percent safety from hacks or illegal intrusion, we employ efforts that are designed to ensure that this does not occur.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy. Any changes to it will become effective when its posted to our website.
California Consumer Privacy Act Notice
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) takes effect on January 1, 2020. It provisions that a resident of California (“consumer”) has certain rights to their personal information. “Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Personal information does not include publicly available information, which is information lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records.
The consumer rights provisioned by CCPA are broadly known as the following:
Right to Know
A consumer has the right to request that a business that collects a consumer’s personal information disclose to that consumer the categories and specific pieces of information the business has collected about that consumer, the categories of sources from which such information was collected, and the categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information. A consumer can exercise their right to know twice in a 12-month period. The request is also limited to the previous 12 months prior to the request.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information
A consumer has the right, at any time, to direct a business that sells personal information about the consumer to third parties not to sell the consumer’s personal information.
Right to Delete
A consumer has the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the consumer which the business has collected from the consumer. However, a business or service provider is not required to comply with a consumer’s request to delete the consumer’s personal information if it is necessary for the business or service provider to maintain the consumer’s personal information in order to:
- Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonably anticipated within the context of a business’s ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract between the business and the consumer.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity;
- To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business;
- Comply with a legal obligation;
- Or a number of other enumerated exceptions
King Marketing Group, Inc. products and services rely on data collected from a range of third party data providers, including both government and private sources, which may include a consumer’s personal information. Under the CCPA, a resident of California may submit a verifiable consumer request to exercise the three rights above. If you are a resident of California (as defined in CA CCR 17014) and would like to submit a verifiable consumer request to King Marketing Group, Inc., you may do so on our opt-out or Do Not Sell My Personal Information page, or email to privacy@kingmarketinggroup.com, or call (913) 829-3903.
In order to prevent improper or potentially fraudulent requests under CCPA, a business must only respond to verifiable consumer requests only from that consumer. Such requests must only come directly from the consumer themselves or their agent that is authorized in writing, such as a power of attorney, and must include documented proof of the consumer’s identity (and agent’s identity, if applicable).
The CCPA also provides that a business shall not discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercised any of the consumer’s rights under the CCPA.
King Marketing Group, Inc. discloses that products and services sold to customers may contain personal information of California consumers. Such products and services are typically used for address validation, identity verification, or for marketing and CRM (customer relationship management) purposes. Categories may include name, address, phone number, email, gender, date of birth, age, race, marital status, home-ownership status, hobby and lifestyle interest preferences, vehicle type preference, consumer credit card holding status.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under 16 years of age in California unless we have received legal consent to do so. If we learn that personal information from such California residents has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to remove their information from our database, or to obtain legally required consent.
