What information do we collect?
We use your personal information to carry out the obligations arising from providing and improving the Service. This section describes the types and categories of personal information we may collect, and how we may use that information.
Information you provide us directly
We collect personal information that you provide when you sign up, enter your information into online forms, or otherwise use the Site and the Services. We use this personal information in a variety of ways, and this personal information includes the following:
- When you create an account on the Service, sign up for our mailing lists, provide feedback, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect contact and business information from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, mailing address, one or more phone numbers and the company name with which you are associated with;
- When you order or use the Services, we will collect the information necessary to complete the transaction, including your first name, last name, credit card and/or bank account information, and billing address;
- When you submit a form, we may collect additional profile information, for example, information about your business, other products, and services you use, etc.;
- We also collect other types of personal information that you provide to us voluntarily, such as if you contact us via the Site regarding customer support or other questions regarding the Services.
Automatically collected information
When you use our Service, some information is collected automatically and is not provided directly by you. For example, when you access our Service, we automatically collect your browser’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type, the nature of the device from which you are visiting the Service (e.g., a personal computer or a mobile device), the identifier for any handheld or mobile device that you may be using, the web site that you visited immediately prior to accessing our Service, the actions you take on our Service, and the content, features, and activities that you access and participate in on our Service. We also may collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message.
We may collect this information passively in our server logs. We may also collect information passively using technologies such as cookies and clear GIFs (also known as “Web beacons”) as described in the section “Cookies and Similar Technologies” in this Privacy Policy. We use passively-collected information to administer, operate, personalize, and improve our Service and systems, to improve the effectiveness of advertising on our Service, and to provide advertisements and other content that is tailored to you. If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with personal information, or if applicable laws require us to treat any information gathered through passive means as personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we use and disclose information collected by passive means in aggregate form or otherwise in a non-personally identifiable form.
We may collect personal information when the Onclusive Monitoring feature conducts searches on the internet for news stories, articles, press releases and other content and we collect the contact information for journalists, public relations agency staff, or other authors.
Through your use of the Service, we require that analytics code be installed on the customer website to enable the integration of the customer website with our Services, and to enable us to collect usage analytics, including the previous page visiting and tracking data associated with customer website views.
Information Collected from You About Others.
If you decide to invite a third party to create an account with the Service, we will collect you and the third party’s first name, last name and email addresses in order to send an invitational email to, and follow up with, the third party. You should ensure that you know the third-party and they are expecting this invitation. In any case, you and/or the third party may contact us at privacy@onclusive.com to request the removal of this information from our databases.
We may receive information about you, including personal information, from third parties, to increase the accuracy of the personal information you have provided us directly. Additionally, if you provide your personal information by entering it on our Site, for example when opening a case with our customer support team, we may use publicly available information from other websites, for example, your social networking profile photo, to augment your personal information to provide a more personalized service. We treat this combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Service uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users of the Service. This enables us to provide you with the service specifically linked to your user profile and is required for the Service to function. Cookies are small files that allow for personalization of the Service experience by saving your information such as user ID and other preferences. The service also uses a related technology called local storage which allows preferences and session information to be stored locally on your computer or mobile device.
Also, please be aware that third parties, such as companies displaying advertisements on the Service or the sites or services provided by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”) that may be linked to from the Service, may set cookies or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their services, Third-Party Sites or content. We do not have access to, or control over, these third-party means of passive data collection. For more information, please refer to our cookie policy at https://onclusive.com/cookie-policy/.

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent.

When Onclusive obtains personal information about you, we may process and store the information outside of the country in which you are located, including in the United States.

If you are using the Site or Services from the European Union (“EU”), the United Kingdom, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU, the United Kingdom, and other regions, and by providing your personal data you permit the use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the Privacy Policy. For the purposes of Data Protection Legislation, countries that are deemed to not provide adequate protection are referred to as third countries (“Third Countries”) in this Privacy Policy.

California privacy disclosures
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there currently isn’t an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don’t respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it should take.
A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, subject to certain exceptions, as defined in California Civil Code Sec. 1798.83. In general, subject to certain exceptions, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide, free of charge, a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by sending an email to privacy@onclusive.com.
How do we secure your personal information?
To help protect your data, we use commercially reasonable steps to protect the data that we collect, including your personal information. The reasonable steps include protecting this data against accidental loss, unauthorized use, disclosure, and restricting access to personal information by our staff. The Service is hosted by a third-party hosting company that we have determined maintains adequate security controls and utilizes TLS encryption for all internet communication with the Service. We also require all staff that administer and develop the service follow industry-standard controls, including strong passwords, the use of anti-virus and anti-malware software, disk encryption and other best practices.
We use various 3rd party processors to enable us to provide the Service, and as part of our vendor due-diligence, we review the security controls these processors have in place and ensure they meet industry standards appropriate for the type of data we collect.
You should keep in mind, however, that the Service utilizes software, hardware, and networks, which from time to time require maintenance and experience problems beyond our control. Note that no data transmission over the public internet or encryption method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you provide to us. You transmit information to us at your own risk.
Updates to this Policy
We may occasionally update this Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “last updated” date at the beginning of the Policy. Your continued use of our Service after such changes will be subject to the then-current policy. If we change this Policy in a manner that is material, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you via the contact methods you have provided of the change prior to applying the change to any personal information that we collected from you prior to the date the change becomes effective. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information.
