We respect the privacy rights of users and recognize the importance of protecting information collected about you.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will notify you by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy whenever you access the Slintel Services to stay informed about our practices in connection with your information and the ways you can help protect your privacy. Your use of any of the Slintel Services after the posting of such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes and your consent to the revised Privacy Policy.

Information Collected

Information You Provide To Us.

We collect information you provide directly to us.

We also store the data or other information that you upload or provide to the Slintel Services (" Content") in order to be able to provide you with the features and functionality of the Slintel Service.

Information We Collect Automatically When You Use the Slintel Services

 When you access or use the Slintel Services, we may automatically collect information about you, including:

• Usage Information:  We monitor user activity in connection with the Slintel Services and may collect information about the applications and features you use, the websites you visit, the sizes and names of the files you upload, download, share or access while using the Slintel Services, the Content you access and any actions taken in connection with the access and use of your Content in the Slintel Services.
• Log Information:  We log information about you when you access and use the Slintel Services including your Internet Protocol (" IP") address, access times, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (" ISP"), the Web pages that you visit, the Content you use and the URL of the Web page you visited before navigating to the Slintel Services.
• Device Information:  If you access the Slintel Services from a mobile device, we collect information about the device, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information (as allowed by the mobile network) or platform information (as allowed by the specific platform type). We do not ask for, access or track any location based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or using our mobile apps.
• Information Collected by Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies:  We use various technologies to collect information, which may include saving cookies to your computer or mobile device. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us to improve the Slintel Services and your experience, customize your experience and preferences, allow you to access and use the Slintel Services without re-entering your member ID and/or password, understand which areas and features of the Slintel Services are most popular and count visits. We may also collect information using web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels"). Web beacons are electronic images (also called "gifs") that may be used in the Slintel Services or in emails that help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please see "Your Choices" below.
• Third party cookies:  The use of cookies by third party applications is not covered by our Privacy Policy. We do not have access to or control over such cookies.
• Advertising Cookies:  We may partner with third parties to manage our advertising on other sites. Such third parties may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this site and other sites you visit in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests.

Information We Collect For Our Users

Users of our service have access to business data collected from publicly available sources.

• Slintel provides our customers with names, professional titles, and business contact information (“Business Data”) to help our customers locate and engage with other businesses (B2B data). We maintain a core database of Business Data that is derived from publicly-available sources (e.g., SEC website, company websites). Our offerings include providing this data to our customers.
• We have undertaken a Legitimate Interests Assessment and we believe we can continue to collect (through publicly available sources) and share (with our customers and services distribution partners) Business Data, because it is within our legitimate business interests to do so and is not adverse to the privacy rights of the individuals concerned in the context of the GDPR.
• Slintel will continue to permit individuals residing in the EU (and elsewhere) to opt-out of our database.

Where does Slintel get the Business Information for its Public Profiles?

Slintel creates profiles of business people and companies, which we call "Public Profiles," from different sources. Once we have collected Business Information about a person or company, we combine multiple mentions of the same person or company into a Public Profile. The resulting directory of Public Profiles (the "Directory") is then made available to the users of the site and our customers and strategic partners.
Slintel obtains the data for its Public Profiles in several ways including:

(1) Our search technology scans the web and gathers publicly-available Information.

(2) We license Information from other companies.

(3) Users contribute Business Information about themselves or other people and companies.

(4) We make inferences about your use of business technology based on the technology used by your employer. We do not include in your Public Profile any information that you provide in connection with your registration to use the Slintel Services or that we collect regarding your registration and use of the Slintel Services, though we may receive similar information from other sources, which may be included in your Public Profile.

• Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;
• Provide and deliver the services and features you request, process and complete transactions, and send you related information, including purchase confirmations and invoices;

Security

While no service is completely secure, Slintel takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. 
The servers on which personal information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to include in files you store on our systems are maintained at levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.
You may access your account information and our service only through the use of an individual user ID and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. In addition, always logout and close your browser when you finish your session.
