WHO WE ARE

Happierleads (hereinafter “Happierleads”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) 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 “Tracking Script”), which collects data from visitors to the customers' website when integrated on the website, that identifies company-related visitors to the customer’s 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 “Services”) are accessible through “www.happierleads.com” (the “Website”).

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 “GDPR”) 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

Happierleads’ 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 customer’s behalf and upon their instructions. Please, see our customer’s 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 – for instance when it comes to sole traders – 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.

Our purpose with processing the personal data is to provide you with services you have requested, such as e-book downloads, scheduling demonstrations of our services, setting up trial accounts, or subscriptions to our knowledge resources.

The legal ground for our processing of personal data as per the above purpose is to either fulfill a contract with you (e.g. to provide you with an e-book) or to take steps at your request to enter into a contract (e.g. when you request a trial account).

The personal data collected via the Website may also be processed as described below, under marketing.

MARKETING

Furthermore, in addition to using the information provided directly to us via our Website, we may collect Lead Contact Data (as defined below) regarding representatives of companies which have visited our Website, in order to contact such representatives to introduce Happierleads and our services. If we have collected professional contact details out of you, we will notify you.

The personal data processed is the name, employer, title/position, professional email address, and job telephone number of individuals employed by prospective customers (“Lead Contact Data”).

Our Purpose for processing Lead Contact Data is to contact representatives of companies that Happierleads deems as potential customers to Happierleads, to inform them of Happierleads’ services and offer trials, demonstrations, discounts, and similar.

OUR RIGHTS

We may also process personal data as required to help detect and prevent prohibited or illegal acts, respond to legal matters or requests from authorities, enforce our policies or to protect individual rights, property, or safety.

If the representative does not respond, the Lead Contact Data is deleted within thirty (30) days of its collection.

  • Other contact details used to manage a customer relationship will be deleted upon the customer’s request after the customer’s subscription to our Services has ended.

3. COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS

We employ cookies on our Website in order for our server to recognize a returning visitor as a unique user. Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your hard disk that allow us to remember you; cookies cannot access, read, or modify any other data on a computer. The cookies we place are readable only by us. All web browsers offer the option to refuse any cookie. If you refuse Happierleads cookies, you may need to re-enter certain information each time you visit our Website and we may not be able to customize our Website’s features according to your preferences. You may also delete cookies manually from your hard drive.

The cookies we place contain identifiers that may be linked to certain non-personal data described in this Privacy Policy, as well as certain non-personal data advertising IDs from third parties.

Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (DNT) features. As there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, we currently do not respond to browser DNT signals on our Website or on third-party sites that use the Tracking Script.

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.

6. YOUR RIGHTS
