1. General
This Privacy Policy outlines EmailsEtc and its Affiliates’ (“EmailsEtc”, “we” or “us”) practices with respect to collecting, using, and processing information when providing our online services (collectively, the “Services”). This is separate to our Terms of Service, which sets out more information about the Services (“Terms” or “Agreement”). EmailsEtc is a trading name of a UK incorporated company.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand your rights in relation to your personal data and how we collect, use, and process your personal data. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or any part of it, you should not access this website or use our Services. Where personal data is about you is collected and processed by us in the EmailsEtc B2B Database (as defined below), you may opt-out here.
Our Services are designed to help our business users (e.g. HR professionals, B2B professionals, sales professionals) validate and verify Contact information and to find business profiles they seek in order to interact with relevant Contacts (as defined below), through access to business profiles retained in EmailsEtc B2B database (“EmailsEtc B2B Database”).
The information in the EmailsEtc B2B Database is retrieved from public sources, or from the contribution of relevant data from other users (mainly via members in our Community Program) and business partners, rather than collected directly from data subjects. We license this data to authorized users for their lawful purposes. We implement processes to cross-check and verify the accuracy of the data in the EmailsEtc B2B Database.
2. What types of information do we collect from or about you?
We collect and process three main types of information:
2.1 Information in EmailsEtc B2B Database (“Contact Data” and “Business Profiles”).
We collect individuals’ business information (each individual a “Contact”), similar to business information which can be found on a business card, including Full name, company name, job title, business phone number, and email address (for a full list or any enquiries related to data attributes send an enquiry to [email protected]). Such data is collected from a variety of sources (for more detailed information send an enquiry to [email protected])
Once we have collected business information about a person or company, we combine multiple mentions of the same person or company into a Business Profile. Depending on the information we have, EmailsEtc either performs an ad-hoc search of our users in our unstructured database or provides a Business Profile found in our contact DB. These Business Profiles enhance, optimize, and enrich the EmailsEtc B2B Database and keep it up-to-date, allowing us to provide our Services.
2.2 Information our registered users give to us (“User Data”).
Our users may provide information by contacting us via our website, support channels, creating an account, or using our Services. This information includes user activity, location, name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other information you provide us voluntarily e.g. via communications to us, additional information you publish about yourself and if you use EmailsEtc’s referral service, your referred friend’s email address and name. During the registration process users are asked to enter their email address and payment information (including a credit card number). EmailsEtc does not collect or process your payment information directly; payment processing is done by trusted third-party service providers.
When a user upgrades and purchases our paid services, they become a “Customer” and shall remain a Customer throughout the subscription period.
We do not sell any information shared with us by customers
2.3 Technical usage information from website visitors.
When you visit our website and use our Services, we automatically collect information sent to us by your computer, mobile phone, or other access devices. This information includes: (i) device information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, domain name, access time); (ii) mobile network information; (iii) your IP address; and (iv) alerts for troubleshooting errors and bugs. Where you are not logged into your account, this information is unidentified to you and we are not aware of the identity of the user from which this information is collected.
2.4 EmailsEtc Integrations
As part of the Services, EmailsEtc may make available to its Users certain “Integrations”. In using EmailsEtc’s Integrations, Contact Data from Users’ CRM, email, Plug-in or other software may be transmitted to EmailsEtc to match or cleanse a customer’s data against EmailsEtc’s B2B database. In this event, EmailsEtc may use such Contact Data to identify potential contacts to supplement the Service and retrieve such data from other sources, verifying the accuracy of Business Profiles, removing out-of-date Business Profiles from the Services, or otherwise improving EmailsEtc’s research processes and the content provided by its Services.
