In addition to metadata collected automatically, we also collect certain personal data directly from you when you provide information on our website voluntarily, for instance, by requesting a LeadDesk demo, submitting support request or by subscribing for a free trial. In such cases, you are asked to provide basic information about you, such as name, phone number and email address.

The information related to processing the personal data submitted through the Careers section are specified in LeadDesk’s Privacy Notice for Job Applicants.
We may send you emails about new products and other updates only with your permission. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no. If you change your mind later, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting our Privacy Compliance Officer mentioned in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy.
We process your personal data primarily for purposes of providing you the opportunity to use our website and its functionalities.

Our legitimate interest could be in particular improving the quality and services of our website by analysing the usage behaviour of the website users, or preventing and resolving possible misconduct.
The provision of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy may partly be a contractual requirement and partly a statutory requirement.

Not providing your personal data may result in disadvantages for you, e.g. you may not be able to use our website or certain functionalities of it.
SECTION 2 – TRANSFERS AND DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL DATA
We use partners in business activities requiring the processing of personal data, and for the purposes of data processing defined in this Privacy Policy. We also occasionally hire other companies to provide certain limited services on our behalf, including e.g. marketing activities. We will only provide these partners and companies the information they need to deliver the services agreed, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
In regard transfers of personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA where local data protection legislation does not provide adequate level of data protection, the transfers are based on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or a competent supervisory authority. To learn more about the appropriate safeguards we use, please contact our Privacy Compliance Officer mentioned in Section 10 of this Privacy Policy.
We will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or if we in in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the provisions of the law or comply with legal process served on us; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; or, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety of the public.
In case we sell our business or part of it or otherwise reorganize our business, personal data processed by us as a controller may be disclosed to buyers and their advisors in accordance with applicable legislation.
SECTION 3 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service. Our website may also contain links that may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

We protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction by appropriate technical measures such as firewalls.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
