Sapling Data Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important, so Sapling Data (“Sapling Data,” “us,” “we,” “our”) has created the following Privacy Policy so that our customers (“customers,” “you,” “yours,” “they”) know what information we collect when they visit and use our website (the “Site”), why we collect that information, and how it is used. This privacy policy (this “Policy”) discloses Sapling Data’s information privacy practices for the Site and the products and services we provide to our customers (the “Services”). We may periodically make changes to this Policy, and those changes become effective immediately upon posting them to the Site. It is your responsibility to review this Policy frequently and remain informed about any changes to it, so we encourage you to visit this page often. We are not required to provide notice to you of any changes to this Policy.

Information Collected

When you use our Site or Services, Sapling Data may collect from you the following personally identifiable information: [first and last name, street and/or mailing address, city, state and zip code, e-mail address, and phone number]. We are the sole owner of information collected on the Site, except for contact lists and content that you provide to us in connection with your use of the Services (including but not limited to your logo or office locations). Sapling Data also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, type of browser, cookie information and the page you request. You may choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features offered with the Services. We collect and use personally identifiable information of users of the Site or Services only as described in this Policy. In addition, we do not process or use personally identifiable information that we collect or that is received from our customers or from other third parties in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or received or subsequently authorized by you. Except as noted in this Policy, personally identifiable information collected by Sapling Data on the Site or through the Services is NOT shared with third parties without your consent. Sapling Data may keep a cached copy of the content you provide or disclose to us as a part of your use of the Services, including media files, for an indeterminate or indefinite period of time. To assist in development, we may keep copies of HTTP requests and responses in your notification log. If your web server does not specify that we may cache your content, we will not keep a cached copy of any text or audio data transmitted through the Services during calls, but we may still maintain copies in your notification log. We may also keep call log, notification log, billing/payment, and other log data as we determine is appropriate.

How Is Such Information Used?

Sapling Data uses the personally identifiable and other collected information to provide the Services and to allow you to access and use the Site, all in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. If you provide personally identifiable information for a certain reason, we may use the personally identifiable information in connection with the reason for which it was provided and for any other reason consistent with the terms of this Policy. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the personally identifiable information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide personally identifiable information in order to obtain access to the Site or Services, we will use such information to provide you with access to such Services and to monitor your use of such Services. Your personally identifiable information may be used to provide you with product information and support services offered on the Site, to notify you of technical updates or changes in policy, to improve the content and functionality of the Site or Services, to help us better understand our users, or to deliver or offer other services.

The Information Shared or Disclosed with Third Parties

Sapling Data is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your personally identifiable information with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:

  • Third-Party Applications and Services: If you elect to use one or more third-party applications that interoperate with the Site or Services, those applications may be given access to data (which may include personally identifiable information) on our systems generated in connection with your use of the Services. Please remember that Sapling Data is not responsible for the policies and practices of third-party application providers, and we shall have no liability arising from any action of any such provider as it concerns your data or information or otherwise. In connection with your use of any such third-party applications, please review carefully the applicable privacy policy of each such third-party application provider to become familiar with such provider’s policies and practices as it concerns your data and information.
  • Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, personally identifiable information may be part of the transferred assets. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer or successor of Sapling Data may continue to use your information as set forth in this Policy.
  • Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: Sapling Data, like many businesses, sometimes uses other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases, developing new services, enhancing current Services, and processing payments. When we employ another company or individual to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
  • Legal Requirements and Other Circumstances: Sapling Data may disclose your personally identifiable information if required to do so by law, subpoena, or court order or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Sapling Data, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

The Security of Information

We will take reasonable precautions to protect personally identifiable information in our possession from loss or misuse, and from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and after we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage, however, can be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children

Sapling Data is not intended for or directed to persons under the age of 18. Any person who provides their personal information to Sapling Data represents to us that they are 18 years of age or older.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We use a variety of technologies on our Site. Among these are cookies: a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer so that the website can remember your browser in the future. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a unique number. When you visit our Site, open our e-mail, encounter our Services online (including via one of our customer’s websites), or click on one of our banner ads or videos, we or an authorized third party may send you a cookie. Cookies may be used by us in many ways: They allow us to verify the login status of customers using products or services linked directly with our Site, track point of entry to point of registration for those users participating in our affiliate signup programs, track and measure the success of a particular marketing campaign, provide you with improved customer service, and provide you with more relevant content. Cookies also allow us to track overall site usage and determine areas users prefer, as well as enable us to make your visit to our Site easier by recognizing you when you return and help to provide you with a customized experience. Information gathered through usage of a cookie is not linked to any personally identifiable information, unless you become a trial or paying customer. Once you submit personally identifiable information on our Site (for example, by signing up to be a trial or paying customer or by signing up for a seminar or white paper), we may link such information with cookies or other identifiers that are associated with your visit(s) to our Site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. If you choose to disable cookies, you may still use our Site; however, you may have limited access to some areas within our Site or a different experience. For more information on how to manage cookies in your web browser, see http://www.aboutcookies.org. Some of our web pages, e-mails, and other online content may contain electronic images provided by us or authorized third parties known as web beacons, also known as single-pixel GIFs, which are invisible graphical images. These web beacons allow us to count users who have visited our Site, seen our ads, or opened our e-mail, and to track whether messages are shared using our social share features and, once shared, whether these messages are opened by the recipient. In addition, when you click on a link in an e-mail, we record this individual response to allow us to customize our offerings to you. Web beacons collect only limited information, such as a cookie identifier, time and date of a page being viewed, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. Web beacons cannot be declined when delivered using a regular web page, but they can be refused when delivered by e-mail. If you do not wish to receive web beacons by e-mail, you will need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select text only) e-mails via your e-mail software. We may share non-personally identifiable information with third parties, such as the media, industry observers, or potential customers or partners.
