These tools may include email, print, personal web pages, social media, etc. The information we collect and process is centered around these goals. The data we collect, process and control is specified in this policy below.
Data Controller
We are both a Data Controller and a Data Processor, depending on the type of data collected from our customers. The use and processing of that data is disclosed below in this Privacy Policy. Data shared with third party vendors is done securely and only as needed to provide the service(s) our customers request.
Data Processor
Our customers are the Data Controllers for any data they import, create, or push into our systems. When importing personal information into our systems, our customers agree that this information is being used with the consent of the owner of the personal data. We use automated processes as well as perform certain reviews by our staff to help ensure that our customers are using data appropriately within our systems and services.

What Information We Collect
Personal Information
We may collect your personal information in a variety of ways. When you sign up for an account you are asked for certain pieces of your personal information that is then used to construct a Profile. The Profile is used for any messages that are sent out of our system. This information can include your name, email address, mailing address, phone numbers, address, title, company name, and web addresses. You can put in as little or as much information as you would like to communicate to your customers. The only required information that we need is your name, email address, and physical mailing address. This way we can identify you for support issues, send you alerts such as for resetting your password, and help you comply with CAN-SPAM when sending email messages.
Billing Information
If you decide to purchase a subscription to our product, we will require billing information to charge you for that service. That information is not stored on our servers. That information is directly transmitted to and stored with Chargify; one of our third party providers. You can read more about Chargify here: https://www.chargify.com/security/

We will also maintain data that is needed for historical records in regards to compliance. If you are part of a private label that utilizes our compliance functionality, we’ll maintain those records until we are informed by the private label administrator(s) that they are no longer relevant.
