Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 9th, 2023

At Peakzi, we know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy.

By using or accessing the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways. Remember that your use of the Service is at all times subject to our Terms of Service, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, Peakzi’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What does this Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers how we treat Personal Data that we gather when you access or use our Service. “Personal Data” means any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual and also includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules, or regulations. This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people we don’t manage.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Peakzi may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Laws, regulations, and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our Service or business. We will post the changes to this page and encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to stay informed. If we make changes that materially alter our practices or your privacy rights, we will do our best to alert you to changes by placing a notice on the Peakzi website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Service, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them.

If you use the Service after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

What Personal Data does Peakzi Collect?

We collect Personal Data about you from:

You: 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.
Third parties, both when they provide us with Personal Data about you and when we seek out information for Profiles. Third Parties that share your Personal Data with us include service providers, other networks connected to the Service (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google), and advertising partners.

Peakzi 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 the Service, and our customers and strategic partners. When we create or enhance Profiles about individuals, we may collect this information from publicly-available web sources, user contributions, research conducted internally by Peakzi, and other companies and data partners that license information to us.

Information You Provide to Us

We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, through the registration process and/or through your account settings, we may collect Personal Data such as your name, email address, phone number, and third-party account credentials (for example, your log-in credentials for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or Google). If you provide your Third-Party account credentials to us or otherwise sign into the Service through a Third Party site or service, you understand some content and/or information in those accounts may be transmitted into your account with us, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Service is covered by this Privacy Policy. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.

Information Collected Automatically

Like many other commercial websites, we may also gather information in connection with your use of the website or Service through the use of cookies and other similar technologies such as server logs, pixel tags, web beacons, and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable us to recognize your web browser or device and tell us how and when you visit and use our Service, to analyze trends, to learn about our user base, and to operate and improve our Service. Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “do not track” signal, “opt-out preference” signal, or other mechanism for exercising your choice regarding the collection of your information. We will honor valid requests that we receive through such channels where required by law. We use the following types of Cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies. Necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
Functional Cookies. Enable the Service to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.
Performance Cookies. Allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service (for example, Google Analytics).
Targeting Cookies. May be set through our Service by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests.
Social Media Cookies. Enable social media features such as LinkedIn “Share” and “Follow” buttons and obtain information about how you interact with our Service or the social network.

Information about Interest-Based Advertisements

We may serve advertisements, and also allow third-party ad networks, to serve advertisements through the Service. These advertisements may be targeted to users who fit certain general profile categories or display certain preferences or behaviors (“Interest-Based Ads”). Without limiting the foregoing, we use Google Ads advertising features in the Service. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use of this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings. To make choices about Interest-Based Ads from participating third parties, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative consumer opt-out pages at networkadvertising.org/choices or aboutads.info/choices.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We process Personal Data to operate, improve, understand and personalize our Service. We use Personal Data for the following business or commercial purposes:

To meet or fulfill the reason you provided the information to us.
To communicate with you about the Service, including announcements, updates or offers.
To provide support and assistance for the Service.
To create and manage your account or other user Profiles.
To personalize your experience, website content and communications based on your preferences.
To process orders or other transactions, and respond to user inquiries and requests.
To market, improve, and develop the Service, including testing, research, analysis, and product development.
To protect against or deter fraudulent, illegal or harmful actions and maintain the safety, security and integrity of our Service.
To comply with our legal or contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms of Service.
To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.

We will not collect additional categories of Personal Data or use the Personal Data we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice. We only use and disclose sensitive Personal Data of California residents for the purposes specified in the CCPA.

Data Security and Retention

We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Data that we hold in our records, no security system is impenetrable. We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide the Service. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

Personal Data of Children

As noted in the Terms of Service, we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from children under 16. If you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Service or send us any Personal Data. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us at support@peakzi.me.
