Deal Acceleration Privacy Policy


Keeping your Information Private is Important to Deal Acceleration

We have written this Privacy Policy, so you can know how your data is used and how it is protected. Our goal is to provide you with the services to solve your business problems, increase profits, promote your business, and enhance sales while protecting your private information.

Our registered users share their business products and services information, engage with the Deal Acceleration network, communicate with businesses, post and view relevant content about products, services, and company information, and link to sites where customers can buy or find out more about products and services. Some content on some services can be seen by unregistered viewers. We believe our services help your business and consumers find businesses, products, and services and connect them to where users can successfully buy those products and services.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your personal information. With your consent, or as required by law, as detailed in this policy, we may share your information. Furthermore, we will always let you know of significant changes to this Privacy Policy.

NOTE: Because all profile information can be shared and is visible in the social media space, Deal Acceleration cautions users to guard their personal information, as anything in your profile will be visible and shared. For example, Deal Acceleration recommends that consumers never post their addresses and phone numbers.


How we protect your privacy

We protect your personal information and will only provide it to third parties:

  • With your consent
  • When necessary to carry out your instructions;
  • As necessary to deliver to you our features and functionality;
  • When required by law, subpoena or other legal process; or
  • As necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Deal Acceleration, its users, and the public.
  • We have implemented appropriate industry standard security safeguards to protect your information.

This Privacy Policy applies to Deal Acceleration collectively, including: Deal Acceleration.com and the Deal Acceleration mobile application, Deal Acceleration platform technology, and all other Deal Acceleration websites, apps, developer platforms and other products and services. As necessary, we may modify this Privacy Policy. If we make substantial changes, we will tell you, so you may review the changes, before you continue to use Deal Acceleration. Your continuation to use Deal Acceleration, after we communicate a notice about changes to this Privacy Policy, means you consent to the changes. If you object to any changes, you may close your account.


What Information Do We Collect and Who Controls It?

Personal information provided to or gathered by Deal Acceleration is controlled by Deal Acceleration. For more information, go to info@dealacceleration.com.

We collect your personal information in the following ways:

Registration:

When you create an account with us, you provide us with information (including your name, email address, and password). We use this information to offer you a personalized, relevant experience on Deal Acceleration.

To create an account on Deal Acceleration, you must provide us with the required information based on the account type you sign up for (Business or Consumer). You can provide additional (optional) information, if you so choose. We use this information to provide you with more customized services like language-specific profile pages, updates, extensive business information, along with product and services content and information along with links to where users can buy or find out more. Also, users can receive and send extended messaging and images associated with communications between businesses and any other users signed up with Deal Acceleration, and more relevant ads may appear on your Deal Acceleration profile, that is viewable by others. You understand that, by creating an account, Deal Acceleration and others will be able to identify you by your Deal Acceleration profile, and you allow Deal Acceleration to use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. We will also ask Business users for credit card or similar details if your business account closes a business transaction which was directly connected to you and your business or through any number of other third-party businesses that sell, resell, distribute or other your products or services. Please see our Terms of Service for more details regarding payments. Other payment types such as invoicing may be required to facilitate other types of business transactions such as Ad placement, premium search listings or other.

Profile Information:

You can add information to your profile such as business name, address, URL, company, business product or service information or any other relevant business descriptive terms, along with logos, pictures, specific product or service information, pictures, links to where users can buy or find out more about your products and services. You can also enter messaging, promotional videos, audio, documentation, or other information that helps you promote and sell or to enable users to be able to connect with you to solve a wide variety of business problems, as long as it is legal.


Services That Sync with Deal Acceleration

We collect information when you sync non-Deal Acceleration content - like your email address book, mobile device contacts, or calendar - with your account. We use this information to improve your experience and better connect you to your network. Synced information can be removed at your discretion.

Other tools or planned additional features will be made available to sync your information with Deal Acceleration, and in conjunction with other third-party services. For example, Deal Acceleration' mobile applications may allow you to sync your device' calendar, email, or contacts applications with Deal Acceleration to show you the Deal Acceleration profiles of meeting attendees, email correspondents or your contacts.

Another example is software tools that allow you to see Deal Acceleration and other public social media information about the people you email or meet with and leverage Deal Acceleration, to help you grow your network. If you grant these products (mobile applications or other Deal Acceleration services that sync external email and calendar services) permission to access your email and calendar accounts, they may store some of your email header and calendar history information in order to match it to Deal Acceleration and other public social media profiles. Deal Acceleration' products that sync with external email services may also temporarily cache message content for performance reasons. However, this content is unreadable by Deal Acceleration and its service providers.

Any information that you upload or sync with Deal Acceleration is covered by the Deal Acceleration Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy. You are free to remove your information at any time using the features Deal Acceleration makes available.

We receive information when you use your Deal Acceleration account to log in to a third-party website or application. Also, when you visit a third-party site that embeds Deal Acceleration plugins, we receive information that those pages have loaded in your web browser. If you are logged in as a user when you visit sites with Deal Acceleration plugins, we use this information to recommend tailored content to you. Deal Acceleration will use this information to personalize the Deal Acceleration-provided functionality on third-party sites, including providing you insights from and share information with your Deal Acceleration network. Deal Acceleration may provide reports containing aggregated information to companies hosting Deal Acceleration plugins and similar technologies to help them measure Deal Acceleration-generated traffic to their websites.


Cookies

We use cookies to help personalize your Deal Acceleration experience and show you relevant ads. We use cookies and similar technologies, including mobile application identifiers, to help us recognize you across different Services, improve your Deal Acceleration experience, increase security, measure use and effectiveness of our Services, and serve advertising. For more information, including the types of cookies found on Deal Acceleration, please read Deal Acceleration' Cookie Policy. By visiting Deal Acceleration, you consent to the placement of cookies and beacons in your browser and emails in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Deal Acceleration' Cookie Policy.


Advertising Technologies

We target ads to you on and off Deal Acceleration, based on information you included in your profile and your use of Deal Acceleration.

We target ads to users on and off Deal Acceleration through:

Deal Acceleration ads that are delivered on third-party sites contain the label "Ads by Deal Acceleration".


Information about Your Computer and Mobile Device

The devices and networks that you use to access Deal Acceleration generate information that we collect. We use this information to improve our Services and enhance security.

When you link to Deal Acceleration sites or applications, or when you view a plugin on a third-party site, we automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came or the one to which you are directed. Also, advertisers receive the URL of the page that you are on when you click an ad on Deal Acceleration.

Deal Acceleration exists in a dynamic, innovative environment. This means we are always working on improving the services we offer you. New features, new partnerships, or corporate acquisitions may result in the collection of new information. We will strive to use your information to provide you world-class services in a professional and trustworthy manner and we will update this Privacy Policy to disclose any changes in how your data is used.



Deal Acceleration Communications

We communicate with you using Deal Acceleration messaging, email, and other ways available to us. We may send you messages relating to the availability of the Services, security, finance, or other service-related issues. We also may send promotional messages to your Deal Acceleration inbox. You can change your email settings at any time.

We communicate with you through email, notices posted on the Deal Acceleration websites or applications, messages to your Deal Acceleration inbox, and other means available through the Services. Examples of these communications include:

  • Welcome and engagement communications. These communications include information on how to best use Deal Acceleration, and new features;
  • Service communications covering service availability, security, and other issues about the functioning of Deal Acceleration;
  • Promotional communications; these include internal and private email messages (email messages are only delivered to your Deal Acceleration inbox), and may contain information about products, services, and promotional items.
  • These messages are sent based on your profile information and messaging preferences. Deal Acceleration tracks your response behavior to emails. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from Deal Acceleration.
  • Communications from third-parties shared by any of your contacts.

User Communications

With certain communications you send on Deal Acceleration, the recipient can see information such as your name, email address, and some network information.

Many communications that you initiate through Deal Acceleration (for example, an email requesting product information, or requests made through social media) will list your name and primary email address in the header of the message. Other communications that you initiate through the Services, like a request for product information, will list your name but not your personal email address contact information. Once you have connected with an individual, regardless of who sent the invitation, your internal contact information will be shared with that individual along with any information you post on your business or consumer social media or business profiles.


Customized Content

We use information you provide to us to customize your experience on Deal Acceleration. For example, when you sign in to your account, we may display the names of businesses that have landed on your website or profile pages. We also use aggregated information from your network and other users to show you content, such as product or service or business information relevant to you.


Sharing Information with Third Parties

Any information you put on your profile and any content you post on Deal Acceleration may be seen by others. We do not provide any of your non-public information (like your email address) to third parties without your consent, unless required by law, or as described in this Policy. Other people may find your Deal Acceleration profile information through search engines, or use services like Facebook in conjunction with your Deal Acceleration account.

We do not rent or sell personal information that you have not posted on Deal Acceleration, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We will disclose personal information that is not published to your profile in association with Deal Acceleration lead generation Campaign services. The terms of personal information disclosure are in association with a specific campaign service where the user is made aware that they are registering both as a lead for businesses to use, as part of a sales or marketing effort, and that they are simultaneously signing up for the DealAcceleration.com website services.

Deal Acceleration supports middleware providers that offer archiving solutions to firms subject to financial services regulation, which, with your permission, facilitate the archiving of your communications and other Deal Acceleration activity by a third party for compliance purposes. Content distributed through Deal Acceleration' sharing features and third-party integrations may result in displaying some of your personal information outside of Deal Acceleration. For example, when you post content to a Deal Acceleration social media messaging that is open for public discussion, your content, including your name as the contributor, may be displayed in search engine results. Also, if you have bound your Deal Acceleration account to your Twitter or your Facebook account, you can easily share content from Deal Acceleration to Twitter or Facebook, in accordance with your applicable account settings (which you may change at any time) and respective Twitter or Facebook policies. Further, Deal Acceleration allows third parties to search profile information using your email address or profile name information through its profile API.

Third parties (for example, your email provider) may give you the option to upload certain information in your Deal Acceleration contacts onto their own service. If you choose to share your Deal Acceleration business contacts, you will be granting your third-party provider the right to store, access, disclose and use your Deal Acceleration business contacts in the ways described in such third party' terms and privacy policy.


Deal Acceleration Platform Services and Third Parties

Deal Acceleration works with developers to build platform applications using our developer tools. You can use the Deal Acceleration platform applications or not. If you have allowed a platform application access to your Deal Acceleration account, you can revoke that permission at any time.

We allow third parties to use Deal Acceleration' developer platform to offer services and functionality in conjunction with Deal Acceleration. These third-party developers have either negotiated an agreement to use Deal Acceleration platform technology or have agreed to our API and plugin terms in order to build applications. To inquire about integrating Deal Acceleration API and plugin terms, contact Deal Acceleration at  info@dealacceleration.com.


Surveys

Deal Acceleration helps you search for people and businesses and their products and services and Deal Acceleration social media pages.

For example, you can find businesses or consumers and from their profile page you can send them email, read more about their business, products, and services, link to third-party websites where you can buy them, and also use our social media messaging service to interact directly with them regarding a wide variety of topics.


Testimonials, Success Stories, and Advertisements

If you provide any testimonials or success stories about our goods or services or place advertisements through the Deal Acceleration ads, we may post those testimonials, success stories, and examples of advertisements you place in connection with our promotion of these services to third parties. Testimonials, success stories, and advertisements may include personal information, such as your name, that you have provided. For more information about Deal Acceleration ads, please see the Deal Acceleration ads link in the Deal Acceleration web page footer.


Sales Solutions, Advertising, and Marketing

We offer customized premium search listing along with communications tools as part of our advertising, marketing, and sales solutions. These services allow business users to export limited information from public profiles, such as name, headline, current company, current title, and location (for example, San Francisco Bay Area), in order to effectively enable sales and marketing campaigns. All information in your profile is accessible by any other Deal Acceleration user. We do not provide non-Deal Acceleration email or other contact information to users nor do we authorize that information to be included in your Profile pages.


Pages for Businesses and Other Entities

Companies, people, and other entities can create pages on Deal Acceleration. If you access one of these pages, you'll be listed as part of the Deal Acceleration community, and non-identifiable information about you will be provided to the page' administrators.

Deal Acceleration allows all of its users to create pages dedicated to their brand, business, and mission. These pages are public, and any communications or information shared through them will be accessible by the entity that created them. If you save an organization' page to your favorites, you will be listed as having that business as a favorite, which can be viewed by others. Deal Acceleration uses aggregate information about viewers to provide data about its performance (for example, visits).



Change in Control or Sale of Deal Acceleration Corporation Resulting in Disclosures to Others

If there is a change in control or sale of all or part of Deal Acceleration, we may share your information with a third party, who will have the right to use that information in line with this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose your personal information to a third party, as part of a sale of the assets of Deal Acceleration Corporation, a subsidiary, or division, or as the result of a change in control of the company or one of its affiliates, or in preparation for any of these events. Any third party to which Deal Acceleration transfers or sells Deal Acceleration' assets will have the right to continue to use the personal and other information that you provide to us in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy.


Service Providers

To help us with the Services, we may employ third parties.

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services (for example, marketing and development, maintenance, analysis, audit, etc.). These third parties will have limited access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to Deal Acceleration not to disclose or use it for other purposes.


Your Choices and Obligations

You can change your Deal Acceleration information at any time by editing your profile, deleting content that you have posted, or by closing your account. You can also ask us for additional information we may have about your account.

You have a right to:

  • Access, modify, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by Deal Acceleration regarding your profiles;
  • Change or remove your content; and
  • Close your account.
  • You can also contact us for any account information which is not on your profiles or readily accessible to you. If you close your account(s), your information will generally be removed from the Service within 72 hours.

Note: Information you have shared with others (for example, through email, network updates, content sharing) or that others have copied may also remain visible after you have closed your account or deleted the information from your own profiles. Deal Acceleration content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. In addition, you may not be able to access, correct, or eliminate any information about you that other users copied or exported out of Deal Acceleration, because this information may not be in our control. Your public profiles may be displayed in search engine results until the search engine refreshes its cache.


Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed. For example, we may keep certain information even after you close your account, if it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce this agreement.

We retain the personal information you provide while your account is active or as needed to provide you services. Deal Acceleration may retain your personal information even after you have closed your account if retention is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes between users, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. If requested by law enforcement, we will retain personal information for a limited period of time. Deal Acceleration' Customer Service may retain information for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

Security

We take privacy and security seriously and have enabled HTTPS access to our site, in addition to existing SSL access over mobile devices.

We have implemented security safeguards designed to protect the personal information that you provide in accordance with industry standards. Access to your data on Deal Acceleration is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as credit card information) is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and the Deal Acceleration Services. In addition to this level of security, Deal Acceleration advises that you select strong passwords. Deal Acceleration enforces a password at least eight characters long consisting of upper and lower case characters, numbers, and special characters. To protect any data you store on our servers, we also regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we use secured-access data centers. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to Deal Acceleration. Deal Acceleration does not guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note that emails, instant messaging, social media messaging, chat, and similar means of communication with other users are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means. Please help keep your account safe by using a strong password.
