We will never sell your data to third parties. However, in the course of business, we may hire third-party individuals and organizations to help us improve the Offerings. For example:

We may share your personal information with third parties including our web host provider, other SaaS providers, such as an email hosting service, payment processors or outside contractors we hire to perform maintenance or assist us in securing our website.

We may share your personal information when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce a Customer Agreement, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (c) protect against imminent harm to our rights, property or safety, or that of our users or the public as required or permitted by law;

Blocking Cookies

You can remove or block certain cookies using the settings in your browser but the Offerings may cease to function properly if you do so.

Choosing not to share your personal information

Where we need to collect your personal information by law, or to be able to provide the Services to you and you do not provide that information when requested (or you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with the Services and may need to close your account. We will tell you what information you must provide to receive the Services by designating it as required in the Service or through other appropriate means.

Do Not Track Signal

We treat the data of everyone who comes to our site in accordance with this Privacy Policy, whatever their Do Not Track setting.

Right to Access, Edit, and Remove Your Information

You have a right to access personal information we hold about you. Whenever you use our Websites or Services, we strive to make sure that the Personal Information is correct. If that information is wrong, we give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your Personal Information, we may ask you to verify your identity before making any changes. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. Because we protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, even after information is deleted from the CloseFactor Services, it may not be immediately deleted from CloseFactor’s servers.

To request removal of your Personal Information from our Websites, Services or social media profiles, contact us at support@closefactor.com. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your Personal Information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

Executive Information

Through the Services, we provide our Customers and users access to Personal Information about various Executives. We refer to this as Executive Information.

We obtain the Executive Information exclusively from publicly available sources, such as websites for the companies at which an Executive works or public company filings made with governmental regulators. We provide this Executive Information to our Customers and users to give them business insights regarding our Customers clients and competitors.

In particular, we store and provide our Customers access to the following categories of Executive Information:

We take the following steps to ensure the integrity of the Executive Information:

In many cases, we have no direct relationship with the Executives who are the subject of the Executive Information. If you are contacted by one of our Customers who uses our Services and would no longer like to be contacted by them, please contact the Customer that you interact with directly. We may transfer Executive Information to companies that help us provide our Services. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our Customers.

If you would like to know if we hold any Executive Information about you, or you wish for us to correct, amend, or delete such information, please follow the instructions under “Right to Access, Edit, and Remove Your Information”.

Security Measures

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain a variety of appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information. For instance, never give out your password, and safeguard your user name, password and personal credentials when you are using the Services, so that other people will not have access to your Personal Information. Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any personal computing device on which you utilize the Services.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy in the future, we will post or provide appropriate notice. Except as explained below, any non-material change (such as clarifications) to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the date the change is posted, and any material changes will become effective 30 days from their posting on https://closefactor.com/privacy-policy or via email to your listed email address. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all Personal Information that we have about you and your account. The date on which the latest update was made is indicated at the top of this document. We recommend that you print a copy of this Privacy Policy for your reference and revisit this policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Services signifies your acceptance of any changes.

If applicable law requires your opt in consent to any particular amendment to this Privacy Policy, the amendment will not apply to your Personal Information until we receive such consent from you. To the extent we cannot provide some or all of the Services without your consent to such amendment to the Privacy Policy, your decision not to consent may result in our having to limit your ability to use certain aspects of the Services.
