Happierleads User's Privacy Policy
WHO WE ARE
Happierleads (hereinafter âHappierleadsâ, âweâ, âusâ, or âourâ) is a website analytics and advertising technology
company specialized in B2B marketing and lead generation. Our headquarters are located in England, and Happierleads.
Any correspondence to us can be addressed to: contact@Happierleads.com
GENERAL
Happierleads provides the Account Based Marketing service that enables the customer to display advertising in relevant
formats on sites from time to time, enabling real time advertising auctions. Happierleads has also developed and
provided a tracking script (the âTracking Scriptâ), which collects data from visitors to the customers' website when
integrated on the website, that identifies company-related visitors to the customerâs website (we call this the Lead
Generation service). Happierleads also offers another the Happierleads Reveal service that enables real-time
identification of companies using IP-to-company mapping through a reveal script that Happierleads has created. The
Account Based Marketing service, Lead Generation service, and the Happierleads Reveal (collectively, the âServicesâ) are
accessible through âwww.happierleads.comâ (the âWebsiteâ).
We offer our Services as processors to our customers, but as we improve our Services, we process personal data as
controllers. This, and our other activities as controllers, are described in this Privacy Policy.
We process personal data under this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable legislation, including the General
Data Protection Regulation 2016/679/EU (the âGDPRâ) and other applicable national data protection laws in England. Our
objective is to maintain a high level of protection for personal privacy. All terms used in this Privacy Policy that are
not otherwise defined herein should be understood and interpreted in accordance with the GDPR.
1. WHY AND HOW DO WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA
Happierleadsâ DATABASE
When we offer our Services, our customers are data controllers and responsible for any personal data processing involved
in the provision of these services. We process personal data on the customerâs behalf and upon their instructions.
Please, see our customerâs own privacy policies regarding the personal data processed by our customers.
As we continuously improve the functionality of our Services, we are the controller for the processing of personal data
in relation to the improvement of our Services.
The data processed is the IP-address from which you visited our customer´s website and technical information that
enables us to tell different visitors apart that are originating from the same IP-address (cookies). In some cases, the
IP-address and the company it is matched with may constitute personal data â for instance when it comes to sole traders
â as it would allow for the identification of the visitor.
Our purpose for processing Personal Data is that it enables us to improve our Services by adding data to our database.
The legal ground for this is to pursue our legitimate interest to improve our Services. You may at any time contact us
for more information regarding this legal ground and the balancing of interest that we have done.
PROVIDING THE SERVICE, AND THERETO CONNECTED FUNCTIONS
The data processed is your contact and account details, along with technical data regarding your account, if applicable.
Our purpose is to help with services and customer support you request, troubleshoot problems, and at times resolve
disputes and collect fees.
The legal ground is our legitimate interest to provide the services to the company you represent.
WEBSITE
When you are visiting our Website, we gather non-personal data such as browser version, operating system version,
IP-address (if there is not a match with a company IP-address, it is deleted), cookie information, timestamps (time page
accessed as well as time spent per web page), and clickstream information (for example, which pages have been viewed and
for how long). Happierleads automatically receives and records such information on our server logs from your browser. We
use this information to verify information and to enhance and optimize personalized offers to our customers and users.

4. OUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Happierleads transfers the Lead Contact Data to its systems for managing sales processes, which are provided by third
parties processing personal data on behalf of Happierleads. Such service providers may be based outside of the EU or EEA
in countries that do not provide the same level of protection for personal data as provided by the GDPR. In such cases,
the transfer of personal data is subject to appropriate safeguards as set out in the GDPR.
We may also disclose your information:
- as required to respond to legal matters, enforce our policies or protect individual rights, property, or safety;
- to employees and agents of Happierleads in order to help detect and prevent prohibited or illegal acts;
- to service providers under contract who help with our business operations;
- to other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information;
- to those serving apparently valid subpoenas; and
- to other business entities, should we plan to merge with, or be acquired by, that business entity.
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, we will not otherwise disclose your personal
information except when we believe in good faith, that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent
physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
5. SECURITY
Your information is stored on servers located in Ireland. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use
certain tools (including, but not limited to, encryption, passwords, and physical security) to protect your personal
information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we take reasonable steps to protect your privacy, we do not
promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
ACCOUNT PROTECTION
Your password is the key to your account. We recommend the use of unique numbers, letters, and special characters in
combination and that you do not disclose your Happierleads password to anyone. If you do share your password or your
personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account.
If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject
to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you
should immediately notify us and change your password.
PHISHING
In order to protect yourself from third parties unlawfully seeking your personal information through email that appears
to be from Happierleads, you should never provide any personal information directly in response to an email you believe
you have received from us. Rather, you should always close any such email, open your browser, log directly into the
Happierleads Website, and change, update, or modify any such personal information only using our Website. In the event
that you believe that you have received a request for personal information in an email message that is made to appear
that it was sent by us, please inform us immediately at support@Happierleads.com.
