We may use this Personal Information to personalize and improve our services, to allow our users to set up a user account and profile, to contact users, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, to analyze how users utilize the Services, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may share certain types of Personal Information, excluding phone numbers, with third parties (described in this Section and in Section III below). We collect the following types of information:

If you provide your third-party account credentials to us, you understand, some content and/or information in those accounts (“Third Party Account Information”) may be transmitted into your account with us if you authorize such transmissions, and that Third Party Account Information transmitted to our Services is covered by this Privacy Policy. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to sign up with us or to take advantage of some of our features. We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you cannot be individually identified, and provide that information to our partners.

We collect Personal Information from our customers and users in order to create account and subscribe to our Services (email, name, company name, phone number, billing information). With respect to this particular information, we’re the data controller.
We also process Personal Information on behalf of our customers and users as their data processor. For example, our customers and users use our Services to generate and publish Content (including, for example, information our customers create, monitor or collect from social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). Our customers control how their Content is collected and used by them. In legal terms, this means that our customers and users are the data controller of their own generated Content. Accordingly, we only use the Content to provide Services to our customers and users in accordance with the lawful instructions they give us through our Services.
B. Information Collected Automatically. Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information about your activity on our website and Services. The information is collected from your browser including your IP address, “cookie” information, and the page you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your computer or mobile device that allow us to recognize your browser or mobile device and tell us how and when pages in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or mobile device to prevent or limit your computer or device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our Services’ features. If you click on an external link to a third-party website, such third party may also transmit cookies to your browser. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Website), we only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate data tells us how often users use parts of the Services, so that we can make the Services appealing to as many users as possible. We may also provide this aggregate information to our partners; our partners may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal experience. We never disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.
C. E-mail and Other Communications. We may contact you, by email or other means; for example, we may send you promotional offers on behalf of other businesses, or communicate with you about your use of the Services. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make emails more interesting and improve our service. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please indicate your preference by selecting the opt-out option in emails received from the Company or by adjusting your account settings. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.
We do not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
All other personal information we share with third parties is described below.
A. Affiliated Businesses and Third-Party Websites We Do Not Control. In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites we are affiliated with may sell items or provide services to you through the Services (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. One such service may include the ability for you to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your Website profile or to automatically transmit information in your Website profile to your third-party account. We have no control over the policies and practices of third-party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business or websites policies.
B. Agents. From time to time, we may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
C. Business Transfers. We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred. Also, if we (or substantially all of our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
D. Protection of Company and Others. We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our employees, our users, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
E. With Your Consent. Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties in personally identifiable form, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.
Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. If you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-on protections via that third party site or service. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. Our compliance as a data processor with the EU General Data Privacy Regulation (“GDPR”) is spelled out at https://eclincher.com/gdpr-compliance/.

Through your account settings, you may access and edit your password and email address. The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us at support@eclincher.com or via live chat on our website. You can also access all your generated Content, as part of using our Services. Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of Personal Information which we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes, and providing contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to: support@eclincher.com or to our live chat support.

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help our Services, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. For example, cookies can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyze how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
We may use cookies for the following reasons and purposes:
A. To provide the service you have asked for. Some cookies are essential so you can navigate through the website and use its features. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide the services you’ve requested. For example, some cookies allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access the subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet. Essential cookies keep you logged in during your visit.
B. To improve your browsing experience. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region and they provide improved features. These cookies will help remembering your preferences and settings, including marketing preferences, remembering if you’ve filled in certain forms, so you’re not asked to do it again, remembering if you’ve been to the Services before and restricting the number of times you’re shown a particular content or a promotion. We might also use these cookies to highlight Services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
C. Analytics. To improve your experience on our Services, we like to keep track of what pages and links are popular and which ones don’t get used so much to help us keep our Services relevant and up to date. It’s also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our Services and if they get error messages from web pages. This group of cookies, often called “analytics cookies” are used to gather this information. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you. The information collected is anonymous and is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person’s activity.
Most browsers allow you to turn off cookies. To do this, look at the “help” menu on your browser. Switching off cookies may restrict your use of the Services and/or delay or affect the way in which it operates.
Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the information, including personal information, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of information represents your agreement to that transfer. By transferring your Content to the United States, we do not mean to avoid our obligations under the GDPR Data Processor Agreement that appears at https://eclincher.com/gdpr-compliance/.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our Website or sending you an email. You are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when you use the Website after such changes have been first posted.
If you are a consumer located in California, we process your personal information in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). You have a right to receive notice of our practices at or before collection of personal information. This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect and use for purposes of CCPA.
How We Collect, Use, and Disclose your Personal Information: The “What Information does the Company collect and how it is used” section further describes the personal information we may have collected about you. We share and or disclose this information as described in the “Will the Company Share Any of the Personal Information it Receives? If so, With Whom Will it Share That Information?”.
The table below highlights detailed information we collect, disclose, sell, and the categories of whom we share that information. We may use cookies, including advertising cookies, as described in our Cookie Policy section.
Exercising the right to know: you may request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about categories of their personal information collected, sold, or disclosed; purposes for which this personal information was collected or sold; categories of sources of personal information; and categories of third parties with whom we disclosed this personal information.
Your CCPA Rights and Choices: As a California consumer and subject to certain limitations under the CCPA, you have choices regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information:
A. Privacy Complaints in Brazil. In circumstances in which Brazil law is controlling, we commit to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your information. We further commit to refer unresolved privacy complaints to an independent arbitral forum.
B. Children. This Service is intended for a general audience, and is not directed at children under thirteen (13) years of age.
Consistent with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we do not knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to us through our Site or Service represents that they are at least 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe we have collected information from your child in a manner not permitted by law, contact us at support@eclincher.com or via live chat on our website. We will remove the data to the extent required by applicable laws.
We do not knowingly “sell,” as that term is defined under the CCPA, the personal information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.
If you are a California resident under 18 years old and registered to use the Service, you can ask us to remove any content or information you have posted on the Service. To make a request, email us at the email address set out in the “Questions or Contact Us” section below with “California Under 18 Content Removal Request” in the subject line, and tell us what you want removed. We will make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view, although we cannot ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of the content and may retain the content as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
C. Your Nevada Privacy Rights. Nevada law (SB 220), permits customers in Nevada to opt-out of the sale of certain kinds of personal information. A sale under Nevada law is the transfer of this personal information to third parties for monetary consideration so these third parties can then re-sell or license the sold information. Sprout Social does not sell your personal information to third parties as defined in Nevada law. If you are a Nevada resident and wish to obtain information about our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us at support@eclincher.com or via live chat on our website.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send us a detailed message to support@eclincher.com or start a live chat on our website and we will do our best to resolve your concerns.
