Privacy Policy

Effective August 13, 2020

Target Robot takes data privacy seriously. This privacy policy explains who we are, how we collect, share and use Personal Information, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. We recommend that you read this privacy policy in full to ensure you are fully informed.

However, to make it easier for you to review the parts of this privacy policy that apply to you, we have divided up the document into sections that are specifically applicable to Subscribers (Section 2) and Contacts (Section 3). Sections 1 and 4 are applicable to everyone. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your Personal Information, then please contact us using the contact details provided at the end of Section 4. To the extent we provide you with notice of different or additional privacy policies, those policies will govern such interactions.

1. The Basics

About Us.

Target Robot is a limited liability company headquartered in the State of Georgia in the United States (“we,” “us,” “our,” and “Target Robot”). We provide integrations and extensions for an online marketing platform operated by The Rocket Science Group LLC, a company also headquartered in Atlanta and otherwise known as “Mailchimp” (“Mailchimp”).

Our Sync with Sales software-as-a-service enables our Members to, among other things, synchronize the data from their Sales CRM platforms (e.g. sales contacts and sales deal pipelines) in conjunction with Mailchimp’s applications, services and data (e.g. campaign activity).

Key Terms.

In this privacy policy, these terms have the following meanings:

“Application” means Sync with Sales as well as any one or all of our other Target Robot applications available for Subscribers to use.

“Contact” is a person that the Member/Subscriber may contact through our Service. In other words, a Contact is anyone on a Subscriber’s email distribution list or about whom a Subscriber has given us information. For example, if you are a Subscriber, a subscriber to your email system, online project management or other similar electronic communication system would be considered a Contact.

“Subscriber” means any person or entity that is registered with us to use the Service.

“Personal Information” means any information that identifies or can be used to identify an individual directly or indirectly. Examples of Personal Information include, but are not limited to, first and last name, date of birth, email address, gender, occupation, or other demographic information.

“Service” has the meaning given to it in our Standard Terms of Use and includes the use of central data hosting services on Google Cloud Platform and basic technical support services related to your use of Sync with Sales. Note that Sync with Sales Services do not currently include system implementation, integration, training or conversion services.

“You” and “your” means, depending on the context, either a Subscriber or a Contact.‍

2. Privacy for Subscribers

This section applies to the Personal Information we collect and process from a Subscriber or potential Subscriber through the provision of the Service. If you are not a Subscriber, the Contacts section of this policy may be more applicable to you and your data. In this section, “you” and “your” refer to Subscribers and potential Subscribers.

Information We Collect

The Personal Information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with Mailchimp, Sync with Sales, your account settings, the products and features you use, your location, and applicable law. However, the Personal Information we collect broadly falls into the following categories:
‍
(i) Information you provide to us: You (or your organization) may provide certain Personal Information to us when you sign up for a Sync with Sales account and use the Service, consult with our customer service team, send us an email, integrate the Service with another website or service, or communicate with us in any other way. This information may include: Business contact information (such as your name, job title, organization, location, phone number, email address, and country); Marketing information (such as your contact preferences); Account log-in credentials (such as your email address or username and password when you sign up for an account with us); Troubleshooting and support data (which is data you provide or we otherwise collect in connection with support queries we receive from you. This may include contact or authentication data, the content of your chats and other communications with us, and the product or service you are using related to your help inquiry); and Payment information (including your credit card numbers and associated identifiers and billing address).
‍
(ii) Information we collect automatically: When you use the Service, we may automatically collect or receive certain information about your device and usage of the Service (collectively “Service Usage Data”). In some (but not all) countries, including countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), this information is considered Personal Information under applicable data protection laws. We use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect some of this information. If you are using any of our Applications, we may collect this information using our software development kits (“SDKs”) or APIs the first time the SDK or API is initiated on your Application. For further information, please review the section below and our Cookie Statement available here. Service Usage Data may include: Device information: We collect information about the device and applications you use to access the Service, such as your IP address, your operating system, your browser ID, and other information about your system and connection. If you are using our Service on or through a Application, we may also collect information about the cellular network associated with your mobile device, your mobile device’s operating system or platform, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s name and unique device ID, and information about the features of the Application that you accessed. Log data: Our web servers keep log files that record data each time a device accesses those servers and the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses and your activity in the Service (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take (for example, which features you used)), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called ‘crash dumps’)), and hardware settings. We may also access metadata and other information associated with files that you upload into our Service. Usage data: We collect usage data about you whenever you interact with our Service, which may include the dates and times you access the Service and your browsing activities (such as what portions of the Service you used). We also collect information regarding the performance of the Service, including metrics related to the deliverability of emails and other communications you send through the Service. If you are using our Application, we may collect information about how often you use the Application and other performance data. This information allows us to improve the content and operation of the Service, and facilitate research and analysis of the Service.
‍
(iii) Information we collect from other sources: From time to time, we may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as public databases, social media platforms, third-party data providers, and our joint marketing partners. Examples of the information we receive from other sources include demographic information (such as age and gender), device information (such as IP addresses), location (such as city and state), and online behavioral data (such as information about your use of social media websites, page view information and search results and links). We use this information, alone or in combination with other Personal Information we collect, to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing and content to you and to develop and provide you with more relevant products, features, and service.

‍

Use of Personal Information
‍
We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive through the Service (alone or in combination with other data we source) for the purposes and on the legal bases identified below: In accordance with our legitimate interests to operate and administer our Service, which may include but not be limited to billing and collecting money owed to us for the use of the Service, if and when fees are imposed in relation to the Services. This includes sending you emails, invoices, receipts, notices of delinquency, and alerting you if we need a different credit card number.
‍
We use third parties for secure credit card transaction processing, and those third parties collect billing information to process your orders and credit card payments. To learn more about the steps we take to safeguard that data, see the “Our Security” section of this privacy policy.
To send you system alert messages in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering the Service and providing certain features. For example, we may inform you about temporary or permanent changes to our Service, such as planned outages, or send you account, security or compliance notifications, such as new features, version updates, releases, abuse warnings, and changes to this privacy policy.
‍
To communicate with you about your account and provide customer support to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and supporting our Service. For example, if you use our Applications, we may ask you if you want to receive push notifications about activity in your account. If you have opted in to these push notifications and no longer want to receive them, you may turn them off through your operating system.
‍
To enforce compliance with our Standard Terms of Use and applicable law, and to protect the rights and safety of our Subscribers in reliance on our legitimate interest to protect against misuse or abuse of our Service and to pursue remedies available. This may include developing tools and algorithms that help us prevent violations. For example, sometimes we review the content our Subscribers send or display to ensure it complies with our Standard Terms of Use.
‍
To improve that process, we have software that helps us find content that may violate our standard Terms & Conditions . We may or our third-party service provider may also review content that our Subscribers send or display. This benefits all Subscribers who comply with our Terms & Conditions agreement because it reduces abuse and helps us maintain a reliable platform.
‍
To meet legal requirements, including complying with court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms. To provide information to representatives and advisors, including attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements in reliance on our legitimate interests.

‍
To provide, support and improve the Service to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and improving the Service and providing certain features. For example, this may include sharing your information with third parties in order to provide and support our Service or to make certain features of the Service available to you. When we share your Personal Information with third parties, we take steps to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with our obligations under applicable privacy laws. For further information about how we share your information, refer to Section 4 below.
‍
To provide suggestions to you and to provide tailored features within our Service that optimize and personalize your experience in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering the Service and providing certain features. This includes adding features that have not yet been incorporated into the Service.

To perform data analytics projects in reliance on our legitimate business interests in improving and enhancing our products and services for our Subscribers. Our data analytics projects use data from Mailchimp and Sync with Sales accounts, including Personal Information of Contacts, to provide and improve the Service. We use information like your sending habits and your Contacts’ purchase history, so we can make more informed predictions, decisions, and products for our Subscribers. If you or your Contact prefers not to have their data used for this purpose, you can alter the settings on your account (as described here) to opt out of data analytics projects, or your Contact can opt out of data analytics projects at any time by emailing us at privacy@DigitalScientists.com. As always, we take the privacy of Personal Information seriously, and will continue to implement appropriate safeguards to protect this Personal Information from misuse or unauthorized disclosure.
‍
To personalize the Service. We may use your Personal Information to serve you specifically and uniquely, such as to deliver marketing information, product recommendations and non-transactional communications (e.g., email, telemarketing calls, SMS, or push notifications) about us or Mailchimp, in accordance with your marketing preferences and this privacy policy.
‍

Third-Party Integrations
‍
‍We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive through the Service, as a processor and as otherwise stated in this privacy policy, to enable your use of the integrations and plugins you choose to connect to your Mailchimp or Sync with Sales account. For instance, if you choose to connect a Google integration to your Mailchimp account, we or Mailchimp will ask you to grant us permission to view and/or download, as applicable, your Google Sheets, Google Contacts, Google Analytics and Google Drive. This allows us to configure your Google integration(s) in accordance with your preferences.

We also use integration products provided by Nylas, a U.S. based software and technology company. Nylas’ products improve Sync with Sales’s ability to connect to Google Email, Calendar, and contacts as well as Outlook, and to integrate Subscribers’ information into Sync with Sales. This will help the Subscriber understand their task workload for the day, as well as to manage sales communications.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners may use various technologies to collect and store Service Usage Data when you use our Service (as discussed above), and this may include using cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and if you use our Applications, through our SDKs deployed on your mobile device. For example, we use web beacons in the emails sent on your behalf, which enable us and Mailchimp to track certain behavior, such as whether the email sent through the Service was delivered and opened and whether links within the email were clicked. Both web beacons and SDKs allow us to collect information such as the recipient’s IP address, browser, email client type and other similar data as further described above details.
‍
We use this information to enhance the effectiveness of our Service, and for other purposes described above. Reports are also available to us when we send email to you, so we may collect and review that information. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies is discussed in more detail in our Cookie Statement available here.

4. General Information

How We Share Information

Target Robot or Mailchimp may share and disclose your Personal Information to the following types of third parties for the purposes described in this privacy policy (for purposes of this section, “you” and “your” refer to Subscribers and Contacts, unless otherwise indicated):

(i) Our service providers: Sometimes, we share your information with our third-party service providers working on our behalf for the purposes described in this privacy policy. For example, companies or contractors we’ve hired to help us provide and support our Service or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services and other business-related functions. Other examples include analyzing data, hosting data, engaging technical support for our Service, processing payments, and delivering content. You are accessing and using our Service through Mailchimp’s email applications. To provide certain email features to Subscribers and Contacts, Mailchimp uses YouTube’s API services. As such, you acknowledge and agree that by signing up for an account and using the Service, you are also bound by both Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy. In addition to the rights set forth in Section 2, you may manage your YouTube API data by visiting Google’s security settings page.

(ii) Any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (a) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (b) to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, or (c) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.

(iii) A potential buyer (and its agents and advisors) in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganization, or acquisition. In that event, any acquirer will be subject to our obligations under this privacy policy, including your rights to access and choice. We will notify you of the change either by sending you an email or posting a notice on our Target Robot Site.

(iv) Any other person with your consent.
‍

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information
(EEA and UK Persons Only)

If you are located in the EEA or UK, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect and use Personal Information from you where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data-protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests are described in more detail in this privacy policy in the sections above titled “Use of Personal Information”, but they typically include improving, maintaining, providing, and enhancing our technology, products, and services; ensuring the security of the Service and our Sync with Sales sites; and supporting our marketing activities.

If you are a Subscriber, we may need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you. In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Information from you. If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or not, as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Information. Where required by law, we will collect Personal Information only where we have your consent to do so.
‍

Your Choices and Opt-Outs

Subscribers and Contacts who have opted in to our Service can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located here. Also, all opt-out requests can be made by emailing us using the contact details provided in the “Questions and Concerns” section below. Please note that some communications (such as service messages, account notifications, billing information) are considered transactional and necessary for account management, and Subscribers cannot opt out of these messages unless you cancel your Sync with Sales account.
‍

Our Security

We take appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information. For example, we use Google Data Services, which provides data encryption and other sophisticated data protection protocols.

For further information about our security practices, please see our Security page available here. If you have any questions about the security of your Personal Information, you may contact us at support@targetrobot.com.

Sync with Sales Services utilize the username and password used in connection with your Mailchimp account, but these are stored using one-way encryption, so Sync with Sales cannot decipher or use them for any purpose other than to deliver our Services. Subscribers must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party.

Because the information in a Subscriber’s Sync with Sales account is private, account passwords are hashed, which means we cannot see a Subscriber’s password. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only provide Subscribers with instructions on how to reset them.
‍

International Transfers

Our servers and offices are located in the United States, so your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States. While the data protection, privacy, and other laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in other countries or regions, we take many steps to protect your privacy, including offering our Subscribers a Data Processing Agreement available here.In addition, we or our subcontractors may use cloud technology to store or process Personal Information, which may result in storage of data outside the United States, including the EEA, Switzerland or Australia, all of which have their own robust data privacy regulations. It is not practicable for us to specify in advance which country will have jurisdiction over this type of offshore activity.

All of our subcontractors, however, are required to comply with applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer or storage of Personal Information overseas.You may access the Personal Information we hold about you. If you wish to access your Personal Information, please contact us directly by emailing us at support@targetrobot.com. We will respond to all requests for access within a reasonable time.

If you think the information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, we will take reasonable steps, consistent with our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, to correct that information upon your request. If you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us in writing at support@targetrobot.com, so we can update our records.

We will respond to all requests for correction within a reasonable time. If you are unsatisfied with our response to a privacy matter and you think that you need something more than our assistance to resolve the issue, you may consult either an independent advisor or contact the appropriate regulatory authority in a country or region that has sufficient jurisdiction over the matter.
‍

Retention of Data

We retain Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we’ll refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:

• Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data.
• Whether the data is necessary to provide our Service.
• Whether our Subscribers have the ability to access and delete the data within their Sync with Sales accounts.
• Whether our Subscribers would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their Sync with Sales accounts are closed or terminated.
• When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Do Not Track

Certain state laws require us to indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser. We strive to adhere to the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and we do not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.
‍

Changes to this Policy

We may change this privacy policy at any time and from time to time. The most recent version of the privacy policy is reflected by the version date located at the top of this privacy policy. All updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of this privacy policy or other notice on the Target Robot sites.

We encourage you to review this privacy policy often to stay informed of changes that may affect you. Our electronically or otherwise properly stored copies of this privacy policy are each deemed to be the true, complete, valid, authentic, and enforceable copy of the version of this privacy policy that was in effect on each respective date you visited the Sync with Sales site.
