This document outlines the Privacy Policy for the applications provided by Locify, Inc., including all current and future versions (hereafter referred to collectively as "Locify," "we," "us," or "our"). This policy is a part of and subject to the Terms of Use, which are available at Locify's Terms of Use. Within this document, our various offerings are collectively termed the "Service." We encourage you to read the following information to understand our practices regarding data management. By utilizing the Service, you are consenting to the stipulations of this Privacy Policy. Should you find the terms of this Privacy Policy unacceptable, please refrain from using the Service.
when you provide such information directly to us, and when Personal Data about you is automatically collected in connection with your use of our Service (for more information, please see the below paragraph titled Information Collected Automatically).
Third parties, both when they provide us with Personal Data about you and when we seek out information for Profiles, as discussed below (“Third Parties”). Third Parties that share your Personal Data with us include:
Service providers- For example, we may use analytics service providers to analyze how you interact and engage with SayType, or Third Parties may help us provide you with customer support, and in doing so, may provide us with information about you.
Other networks connected to SayType. If you provide any Third-Party account credentials to us or otherwise sign in to SayType through a Third-Party site or service (for example, using LinkedIn, Salesforce, Twitter, Facebook, Google, HubSpot or Outreach), you understand some content and/or information in those accounts may be transmitted into your account with us.
Advertising partners- We receive information about you from some of our service providers who assist us with marketing or promotional services related to how you interact with our Service, advertisements, or communications.
Locify also creates profiles of people and companies, which we call “Profiles,” based on information gathered from different sources. Once we have collected information (primarily business-related information) about a person or company, we combine multiple mentions of the same person or company into a Profile. Profiles are then made available to users of SayType, and our customers and strategic partners.
When we create or enhance Profiles about individuals, we may collect this information from multiple sources, including:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These Cookies are necessary for SayType to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of SayType will not then work.
Functional Cookies: These Cookies enable SayType to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our Service. If you do not allow these Cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Performance Cookie: These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around SayType. The information these Cookies collect is aggregated and does not directly identify you. If you do not allow these Cookies we will not know when you have visited our Service, and will not be able to monitor its performance. For example, Google, Inc. (“Google”) uses cookies in connection with its Google Analytics services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to SayType is subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You have the option to opt-out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Targeting Cookies: These Cookies may be set through our Service by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Social Media: These Cookies may be set through our Service by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Our website includes social media features, such as LinkedIn “Share” and “Follow” buttons. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Service (in which case you can manage them as explained below) and enable us or the social network to obtain information about how you interact with our Service or the social network. In addition, where we have a presence on social media platforms, those platforms will set Cookies on your device when you visit our pages on their platforms so that we can obtain statistical information about how you interact with our social media presence. The cookies policy of the social media platform should explain how you can manage the Cookies that they set or you may also be able to manage these Cookies as explained below.
To find out more information about the Cookies we use visit our Knowledge Center articles here and here. To find out more information about Cookies in general, including information about how to manage and delete Cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
If you are located in the EEA or the UK, you may allow or reject the use of Cookies that are not strictly necessary when using our Service by changing your cookie preferences here.
Several media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program to give consumers a better understanding of, and greater control over, ads that are customized based on a consumer’s online behavior across different websites and properties. To make choices about Interest-Based Ads from participating third parties, including to opt-out of receiving behaviorally targeted advertisements from participating organizations, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative consumer opt-out pages, which are located at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us, which helps us improve our Service. If you do not want to receive communications from us, you may opt out of e-mail alerts for saved lists/searches in your account settings and may unsubscribe from marketing e-mails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the e-mail in question.

In this section, we use the terms ‘sell’ and ‘share’ as those terms are defined in the CCPA. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share Personal Data of consumers under 16 years of age. However, we do sell, and, in the preceding 12 months, we have sold your Profile data to our customers and data partners (such as resellers and syndication partners) in conjunction with our all-in-one prospecting solutions and private-company data offerings, which help customers and data partners grow their business and teams, subject to your right to opt-out of these sales (see the “Your Rights” section below for information about how to opt-out).
