Privacy Policy

We take user privacy seriously and want you to be informed. This Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into our Terms of Service, outlines the privacy practices of Privacy365 (“Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) in connection with your (“you” or “your”) access to or use of our websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service(s)”). By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by our terms, including this Privacy Policy.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose information of users. Please also see our separate Terms of Service which incorporate by reference this Privacy Policy and which include definitions applicable to this Privacy Policy.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party practices, websites, or services, whether or not referenced in our Service. Each third party will have its own privacy practices and policies, which you should review before using.

What information do we collect and how do we collect?

“Personal information”, as used in this Privacy Policy, means personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular user or household.

We collect and/or have collected the following categories of information about you and other users of the Service.

Information You Provide to Us

Personal information you voluntarily provide to us through the Service may include:

  • Contact information, such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, professional title, and company/organization name.
  • Profile information, such as your username and password and any account preferences for the Service may be collected with you sign up for the Service or make an account.
  • Datasheet information. If you decide to register for the Service, you will be asked to complete a datasheet containing various personal information fields. It's your choice to fill in these fields, which will enable us to identify instances where data brokers possess this information about you. We will then work to delete such data. The categories you can offer for our search include details like first name, middle name, last name or family name, birthdate, gender, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, names of relatives, employers, political inclinations, and ethnicity ("Datasheet Data"). This Datasheet Data is essential for delivering our Service, specifically to scour data broker websites for your personal information listings and facilitate their removal. Sharing this Datasheet Data with us is completely voluntary. The more comprehensive the information you provide, the greater the number of data points we can use to conduct our search, potentially leading to the discovery and removal of more listings.
  • Feedback or correspondence, such as information you provide when you contact us to request assistance, ask questions, provide feedback, or otherwise correspond with us.
  • Usage information, such as information about how you use the Service and interact with us, including information you provide when you use any interactive features of the Service.
  • Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving communications about our products, activities, and publications, and details about how you engage with our communications.

You or the platforms may provide us with information through the platform, and we will treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Additionally, you may give us permission to access your information from services offered by third parties, including social media platforms. The information we obtain depends on your account/privacy settings with those social media platforms and their privacy policies, so be sure to check those policies and to adjust your settings to meet your preferences. When you access the Service through social media networks and other third party platforms, you are authorizing Company to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

This information may include your device/internet connection information, internet activity information, and geolocation information. Also, third parties may place cookies and pixels on our app or website, and these companies may use that data to show you more relevant advertisements and promotions.

  • To Provide the Service. Any personal information you provide to us in connection with your Datasheet may be disclosed by us to third parties, such as data broker websites in order to provide the Service.

  • Service Providers and Contractors. We share information with service providers which allows us to provide and improve the Service. Service providers only use your information for a contracted-business purpose. Such disclosure is for our business purposes, in particular to provide you with the Service.

Such disclosure is for the business purpose of providing you with products and services that you have requested or considered.
  • Company Parties; Merger or Sale. We may share information with affiliated companies that are related to us under a common ownership where they comply with this Privacy Policy. Such disclosure is for our business purposes, including to provide and improve our offers. Further, we may share information as part of a sale, merger, acquisition, or other change in control or entity status, either in whole or in part. We reserve the right to transfer or assign your information as part of any such transaction or investigation.
  • Cookies/Device Data. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies, see further below. Such disclosure is for our business purposes, in particular to provide you with the Service, as well as commercial purposes, such as to market to consumers that may be interested in our Services or related offers. We may also contract with third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may use cookies or other measures to collect non-identifier information.
  • Legal Process and Protection. We may disclose information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as to respond to government requests, law enforcement inquiries, legal processes, subpoenas, and court orders. We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or respond to illegal, fraudulent, or injurious actions or security incidents that may cause harm to us, the Service, or others.

Do We Sell or Share Information?

We do not sell personal information for any monetary consideration. We may participate in targeted ads, also called online behavioral advertising. Under some privacy legislating, this may constitute “selling” of personal information. To opt out of these practices, contact us as outlined below and/or see our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link.

How Do We Protect and Transfer Information?

Consistent with others in our industry, we take efforts to employ technical, administrative, and physical security measures for personal information, taking into account reasonable security procedures and accessible technology. However, no system can be completely secure; and we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure. Your provision of personal information is at your own risk. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Take steps to safeguard your passwords and other data and notify us as soon as possible if you believe your account security has been breached.

Our Services are designed for users and data in the United States, and information you provide will be processed and securely maintained in our web servers and internal systems located within the United States. By using the Service, you authorize and specifically consent to the transfer of personal data to the United States and its storage and use as specified in this Privacy Policy.

How Long Do We Retain Information?

We retain personal information for the length of time necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a different retention period is requested by you or required or permitted by law. For example, we will retain your personal information for as long as it is needed to provide you with the Services or fulfill a legal or contractual obligation. We may also aggregate, deidentify, or anonymize personal information as applicable for use in analytics, such as to analyze trends over periods of time without specifically identifying you.

We use the following criteria to determine how long we retain personal information: (a) our relationship with you, such as if there is an open contract or account, or a pending transaction or request; (b) legal obligations to retain personal information for certain purposes, such as to maintain transaction records; and (c) other obligations or considerations relating to the retention of data, such as contract requirements, litigation holds, investigations, or statutes of limitation.

What Are Your Privacy Rights?

We value consumer privacy rights and strive to provide flexibility with how your personal data is used and shared. If you want to make a privacy request or have any questions, please contact us through our website or email us at support@privacy365.com with your name and email address, or other identifier used in connection with our Services so that we can verify your request. If an authorized agent is making a request on your behalf, the agent should provide its name and contact information, such as an email address, in addition to your information. There may be situations where we cannot grant your request; for example, if you make a request and we cannot verify your identity, or if you request deletion of data that we have a legal obligation to keep. Where we deny your request in whole or in part, we will take steps to inform you of the denial and provide an explanation of our actions and the reasons for the denial.

Applicable privacy laws have different requirements and depend on various factors, such as where you live and how much revenue or data is at issue. Generally, we adhere to the following set of privacy rights to the extent applicable and subject to any limitations authorized by law.

  • Access. You can access and obtain your data and ask us for certain information, including: the categories of personal information collected and used; the categories of the sources of data; the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing data; the categories of third parties to whom data is disclosed; and the specific pieces of personal information collected. You also have a similar right to data portability (the ability to export, back up, and transfer data).
  • Amend. You can amend, correct, or rectify your data if it is inaccurate.
  • Delete. You can have your data deleted subject to certain legal limitations.
  • Limit. You can limit the processing of your data, in particular any sensitive data.
  • Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out of certain data practices. For example, you can unsubscribe from marketing communications by following the opt-out instructions in each message or by contacting us as outlined in this Privacy Policy (please note that we may still send non-marketing messages, and that consent to receiving marketing communications is not mandatory to use the Service). You may also opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” or your personal information to the extent applicable. Please see our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link. You may opt out of the use of automated decision-making technology if applicable.
  • Complaints. You have the right to make certain complaints, including for privacy concerns. We value your feedback and seek the opportunity to work with you on any issues. You have the right to no discrimination for asserting your privacy rights.
  • Specific State Laws. Several states have enacted privacy laws that may apply to you, depending on the circumstances. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), updated by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), governs certain California-related conduct. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents may also request certain information regarding our sharing personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Further, if you are a California resident under the age of 18, California Business & Professions Code Section 22581 permits you to request and obtain removal of content you have publicly posted. Please note that such a request does not ensure complete removal of public content.
  • International and Other Laws. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access your own information that we hold; to ask that your information be corrected, updated, or erased; and the right to object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing of your information. Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data is your consent, the fulfillment of our obligations pursuant to the contract created between you and us, or where the collection and use is in our legitimate interests and does not violate your data protection interests or fundamental rights. You may withdraw your consent to our collection and use of your personal data. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your information used in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. If certain other privacy laws apply to you that provide you with additional rights, please contact us to make a request.

Do We Collect Information About Children?

No, we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected such information, we will delete it from our database. We have no such information to use or to disclose to third parties or to otherwise report, including under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). We do not have actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of consumers under the age of 16.

How Do We Use or Disclose Sensitive Information?

We do not generally use or disclose “sensitive” personal information, nor do we use sensitive information for purposes other than those specified in the CCPA, which provides for the following uses without additional disclosures where the information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to the use: (a) to perform certain services, such as verifying information or for analytics; (b) to verify or maintain the quality or safety of our Service; (c) to perform services or provide goods reasonably expected; (d) for short-term use where there is no disclosure or profiling; and (e) to resist malicious, fraudulent, or illegal actions or to ensure physical safety.

Do We Respond to DNT or GPC Signals?

Our Services do not respond to DNT (Do Not Track) requests. DNT is a feature that, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing not be tracked. GPC (Global Privacy Control) settings are in your browser or extension. We recognize GPC signals. This means that if your browser has GPC enabled, our website will automatically recognize your GPC signal and opt you out of the sale of your personal information, if any. For more information about GPC, please click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when our privacy practices change or as otherwise required or permitted by law. Each time you use the Service, the current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Unless we receive your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy.
