This privacy policy explains our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and security of certain information that we receive, with a focus on information that would be considered “personal data” within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). As used in this privacy policy, “personal data” refers to information about an identified or identifiable individual, such as their name or email address.

We provide a sales training platform that provides a performance-based and robust training solution for hotel and other industries (the “Training Services”).

For the purposes of the GDPR, SalesBoost is considered the data controller. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we use the information that we hold. We are a Delaware limited liability company registered in the United States with an office at SalesBoost, LLC, 5345 Towne Square Drive, Suite 145, Plano, Texas 75024 USA.

Compliance with the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)

In the United States, the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g), restricts the disclosure of personally identifiable information from a student’s education records, unless an exception applies. For U.S. users, SalesBoost’s data protection and privacy policies and practices comply with FERPA and other applicable federal and state education privacy laws.

SalesBoost maintains the confidentiality of FERPA-covered student data, and only uses this information to deliver and improve SalesBoost Services provided to schools and their students, as provided in SalesBoost’s agreements with schools. You may also have specific rights related to accessing and/or updating Your Personal Information when FERPA applies. For further information about FERPA compliance, or to access, modify, or remove any such data, please contact us support@salesboost.zendesk.com

To the extent that a provision in this privacy policy conflicts with a provision in FERPA or any other applicable state or federal education privacy law, SalesBoost will abide by the more restrictive provision.

User Content

You may now or in the future provide testimonials, pictures, audio and video recordings, text, data, information and other input or any other content linked, posted, and/or submitted by you or other users to be published or displayed (hereinafter, “posted“) on or through the Site or the Training Services, or transmitted to third parties or other users of, the Training Services or any of the other SalesBoost Services (collectively, “User Content“). Your User Content is posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Site, the Training Services or the other SalesBoost Services, with whom your User Content is shared. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Content will not be viewed, downloaded or shared by unauthorized persons.

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include:

Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to the Site.
Flash Cookies. Certain features of the Site may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on the Site. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.
Web Beacons. Pages of the Site and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit SalesBoost, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Do Not Track Policy

Your web browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not honor any web browser “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms that provide you with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. At present, no universally accepted standards exist on how companies should respond to do-not-track signals. In the event a final universally accepted standard is established, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to these signals.

Third-party Responsibilities and Services

We may use or partner with other third-party companies, agents or contractors for various purposes in connection with our business and operations (“Service Providers”), including, credit card and payment processing, relationship building, the marketing and growth of our business and the performance of services on our behalf, such as gathering and analyzing information and the provision of services to you. Credit card and payment processing services are currently being provided byAuthorize.Net and Recurly. In the course of performing these responsibilities and providing such services, these other companies may have access to your information. We may also share information, including your information, with these Services Providers in order to enable them to perform these responsibilities and to provide these services. Many Services Providers have adopted their own privacy policies, which are not subject to control by SalesBoost. You should always review the policies of these Service Providers to make sure that you are comfortable with the ways in which they collect, use, maintain, protect and disclose your information, including Authorize.net’s privacy policy and Recurly’s privacy policy.

The Service Providers may also transmit cookies to your computer or device, when you click on ads that appear on or through the Service. Also, if you click on a link to a third-party website, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you are no longer using any our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your web browser.

Use of Remarketing with Google Adwords, Google Analytics and other Remarking and Analytic Services

We use or may use a variety of remarketing and analytic services including:

Google Adwords

The Site uses Google AdWords to advertise on third party websites to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with this privacy policy, as well as Google’s privacy policy or the privacy policy of other remarketing services used by SalesBoost.

Google Analytics

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to, you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin.

DoubleClick: We may use Google Analytics and Google Adwords remarketing codes to log when users view specific pages or take specific actions on a website. This allows us to provide targeted advertising in the future. If you do not wish to receive this type of advertising from us in the future you can opt out using the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Google has additional information available about its Remarketing Privacy Guidelines, Policies, and Restrictions on its website.

Hubspot

We utilize Hubspot, for marketing automation. Hubspot sets cookies that track a user’s interaction with our site. Hubspot also tracks browser-provided information such as inferred region, IP address, and return visits. Users remain anonymous unless the user has provided personal data through the submission of a form or clicks through to our site from a link in a Hubspot email. For more information on Hubspot cookies and what they are used for, see Hubspot’s Privacy policy .

Our Legal Bases for Handling Your Personal Data

GDPR and the laws in some other jurisdictions require companies to tell you about the legal bases that they rely on to use or disclose your personal data. To the extent that those laws apply, we rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal data:

Performance of a contract: In most cases, we collect and use your personal data and other information to meet our obligations under a contract to which you are a party or pursuant to which we are providing services to you or on your behalf. For example, when you use the Training Services, the Site, or the other SalesBoost Services, we will use your personal data to respond to your requests and to provide you with these services.
Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data information for our legitimate interests on the grounds that it furthers our legitimate interests in commercial activities (but only to the extent that such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals) including:
- Analyzing and improving the Training Services, the Site and the other SalesBoost Services and our business
- Providing the services in connection with the Training Services

Legal compliance: We may use and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations under European or Member State law or other applicable law.

We may also retain an archived copy of your records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

If you delete your User Content from any of the SalesBoost Services (including any User Content stored in the cloud), copies of your User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other users of the Servers or the Site. Proper access and use of information provided on or through any of the SalesBoost Services, including User Content, are governed by the Terms.

European Privacy Rights for EEA Residents

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your personal data) if we intend to use your personal data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your personal data to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your personal data. You can also exercise the right by contacting us directly.

If you are an EEA Resident and GDPR applies and we hold your personal data in our capacity as a controller, you may request that we:

Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal data (including, in some cases, in portable form);
Prevent the processing of your personal data for direct-marketing purposes (including any direct marketing processing based on profiling);
Update personal data that is out of date or incorrect;
Delete certain personal data which we are holding about you; provided that the personal data is not required by us for (i) compliance with a legal obligation under European or Member State law or other applicable law or (ii) the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim;

Transfer your personal data to a third party to the extent that this is technically feasible; and
Honor a revocation of your consent for the processing of your personal data (without retroactive effect).

We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period required by applicable law.

We may request you provide us with additional information to confirm your identity before responding to your request. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the authorities applicable to your situation, though we invite you to contact us with any concern, as we would be happy to try to resolve it directly.

If you are an EEA Resident in France, you also have the right to set guidelines for the retention and communication of your personal data after your death.

If you reside in a jurisdiction other than the European Economic Area, you may also have similar rights to the above. Please contact us at support@salesboost.zendesk.com if you would like to exercise one of these rights, and we will comply with any request to the extent required under applicable law.

In addition, where you believe that we have not complied with its obligation under this Privacy Policy or European law, you have the right to make a complaint to an EU Data Protection Authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Here is a list of local data protection authorities in EEA countries.

You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us at by e-mail at support@salesboost.zendesk.com or by mail at SalesBoost, LLC, 5345 Towne Square Drive, Suite 145, Plano, Texas 75024 USA.
