Which information we may collect on our Users?

We may collect two types of data and information from our Users:

Non-identifiable and anonymous information (“Non-personal Information”). We are not aware of the identity of the User from whom we have collected the Non-personal Information. Non-Personal Information is any unconcealed information which does not enable identification of an individual User, and which is available to us while such User is using the Services. Non-personal Information which is being gathered consists of technical information, behavioral information and aggregated information, and may contain, among other things, the activity of the User on the Site and Platform, type of operating system, User’s ‘click-stream’ or searches on the Site and Platform, type and version of browser, keyboard language, screen resolution, traffic source,

Personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). This information may identify an individual or may be of a private and/or sensitive nature.

We gather the Users’ IP address (or Mac Address, as applicable) mainly to detect anomalies for security purposes (i.e., in order to safeguard our Site and Platform).

In addition, Personal Information which is being gathered consists of any personal details you provide consciously and voluntarily:

When opening an Account, you will be required to signup to the Services via one of your existing third-party services accounts (e.g. Google or Microsoft’s Office 365). When you register to the Service through such existing third-party account, then such third-party accounts provide us with access to certain information, which is detailed and displayed to you in the notice which appears during the integration process. Please read carefully such notice in order to understand what information is made available to us via your third-party accounts (see also Google OAuth section below). We may collect your login information and other relevant information necessary to enable us to access your third-party accounts in order to collect the abovementioned information. We may store the above-mentioned information (or any part of it), in order to achieve the purposes set forth herein. Please remember that the manner in which third-party accounts use, store or disclose your information is governed solely by their policies and we will have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of such third parties. If you do not agree to these practices please do not use third-party accounts in order to use our Services. You hereby agree that such information will be stored even after the linkage to your third-party accounts expires, for any reason.

Personal Information includes information derived from your existing Contact-List Accounts or Metadata on your account’s email via the applicable API (through open standard for authorization (OAUTH)), including any relevant API authentication tokens. WE WILL EXTRACT THE AFORMENTIONED PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM YOUR CONTACT-LIST ACCOUNTS SOLELY IN ORDER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH OUR SERVICES AND SHALL MAINTAIN IT IN CONFIDENCE. WE DO NOT SHARE SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANY THIRD PARTY FOR MARKETING PURPOSES WHATSOEVER.

Personal Information is collected from the details the Users and visitors of the Site provide in the Contact Form on the Site which includes, User’s name, e-mail address and message. You may provide additional details via the Contact Form, including telephone number and website address.

To the extent that you purchase a Subscription to the Service, you will have the option to use certain Online Payment Processors which will require you to fill out a billing form wherein you will be required to provide to such Online Payment Processors certain Personal Information (such as, a credit card number and other related billing information) (see Section 6 below regarding the payment method). We will not store such information on our servers. We only keep token information such Online Payment Processors provide us with, and such information is strictly secured.

Personal Information may be collected from the details you may provide to us while contacting us via the support email address on the Site and/or Platform.

For avoidance of doubt, any Non-Personal Information connected or linked to any Personal Information shall be deemed as Personal Information as long as such connection or linkage exists.

We do not collect any Personal Information from you or related to you without your approval, which is obtained, inter alia, through your active acceptance of the Terms.

We may also collect, use, transfer, sell and disclose Non-Personal Information for any purpose.

Google OAuth:

When you create a new account to use the Services you have the option of signing in with your Google credentials and also integrating aspects of your email metadata with your account. We will ask for your consent to connect your Google account to your Referral-AI account. This step is most helpful in uncovering your strongest referral contacts which can help you benefit most from our service. Sales and Business-Development processes are driven by relationships. Referral-AI helps you uncover the contacts that can lead you to those opportunities you are after.
When you connect your Google account with Referral-AI, we will have access to certain information such as contacts details and the email meta headers (sender, recipient, and date) (“Google Data”) but we will not have access to the email message body or attachments.

We use the users contacts’ emails or phones to cross check this with more information we may have on the contacts in our databases – data obtained from publicly available sources. We may use your emails correspondence headers to create statistics to determine frequency and recency of communication with a given contact, thus ranking higher contacts which can serve as better referrals in our service. We store the contacts information and email metadata statistical information and periodically update it based on new correspondences the user may have.We only process Google Data you make available to us through this integration in order to provide the Service to you and to improve the Services, consistent with Google’s Limited Use Requirements. Referral-AI use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use Requirements.
We do not independently access the Google Data ourselves unless we first obtain your consent to view the Google Data (e.g., to provide you with tech support), we need to do so for internal security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or where the data is fully aggregated and anonymized for internal use purposes and cannot be used to identify you or your email recipients.
In addition, we will only transfer the Google Data to others if necessary to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in the Services, to comply with applicable laws, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We also do not use Google Data for advertising purposes.
At any time, the user can choose to disconnect his Google account from his account settings (“My Profile” screen).
