Cookies and Other Tracking
The Platform currently uses cookies to track your preferences, your cart, and to remember your logins. You may disable cookies via your browser settings; however, disabling cookies may result in reduced or undesired performance when accessing the Platform.

Third Party Access to Your Information
Although you are entering into an agreement with AutoConvo to disclose your information to us, we do use third-party individuals and organizations to assist us, including contractors, web hosts, and others to allow you to access and use the Platform. Throughout the course of our provision of our services to you, we may delegate our authority to collect, access, use, and disseminate your information. It is, therefore, necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy. For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorization which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving the Platform or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you. AutoConvo may post links to third-party websites on the Platform, which may include information that we have no control over. When accessing a third-party website through the Platform, you acknowledge that you are aware that these third-party websites are not screened for privacy or security issues by us, and you release us from any liability for the conduct of these third-party websites. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy, and any other policies in place, in addition to any amendments, does not create rights enforceable by third parties. AutoConvo bears no responsibility for the information collected or used by any advertiser or third-party website. You must review their terms and conditions and privacy policies to understand how their information collection practices work.

Commercial, Non-Commercial Communications and Do Not Track
If you decide to provide us with your contact information, you agree that we may send you communications via text and email. However, you may unsubscribe from certain communications by notifying AutoConvo that you no longer wish to receive these communications, and we will endeavor to promptly remove you from our notification listings once we have received that request. We currently do not offer website functionality for you to opt out of any “do not track” listings. If you wish to opt out of certain communications or information collection, please contact us at support@AutoConvo.io.

Security Measures
We make reasonable attempts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards. However, because the Platform is hosted electronically we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information. For this reason, we recommend that you use anti-virus software, routine credit checks, firewalls, and other precautions to protect yourself from security and privacy threats.

Age Compliance
We intend to fully comply with international laws respecting children’s privacy. No one under age 18 may provide any information to or on the Platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 18. If you are under the age of 18 do not access or use the Platform or provide any information to the Platform. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under age 18, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under age 18, please contact us at support@AutoConvo.io.

International Transfer
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. We may transfer personal information to the US or elsewhere and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

GDPR Compliance
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) (https://gdpr-info.eu/) is the most comprehensive change to EU data privacy law in decades. The AutoConvo team is working hard to ensure our full compliance GDPR.

What is GDPR?
GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. For EU residents, the regulation aims to increase residents’ control over their personal data. For businesses, GDPR becomes a unifying regulation across the EU. GDPR applies to any EU residents’ data, regardless of where the processor or controller is located.

How AutoConvo is Complying with GDPR
Even though GDPR only applies to data from EU residents, we took the decision to apply broadly the requirement of the regulation. This means we don’t restrict any privacy related feature based on the geographical location of a data subject. Here are some of the actions we’ve taken to ensure we’re compliant:

Security:
We’re taking the security of the data we manage very seriously. The AutoConvo servers are physically secure and may only be accessed by AutoConvo’s technical or support personnel whose jobs specifically relate to maintaining the integrity of the AutoConvo servers or supporting product-related functions. Such individuals are required to maintain the security of the servers and the confidentiality of the information contained in the servers. AutoConvo takes all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your personal information, including encrypting such information, maintaining readily accessible steps to limit access, working to detect unauthorized access, and not storing such information any longer than we need to.

Our privacy team has analyzed the requirements of GDPR and is working to enhance our policies, procedures, contracts, and platform features to ensure we comply with GDPR and enable compliance for our customers.

Your data is protected between you and our systems. We take multiple steps to prevent eavesdropping between you and our systems, as well as within our infrastructure. All network traffic runs over SSL/HTTPS, the most common and trusted communications protocol on the Internet. Internal infrastructure is isolated using strict firewalls and network access lists. Each system is designated to a firewall security group by its function. By default, all access is denied and only explicitly allowed ports are exposed.

If we see something, we’ll react quickly and attempt to remedy the issue. We’re not resting on our laurels. We’re frequently looking for potential system interruptions. If we do find something out of place, we’ll endeavor to address the issue in a manner that it won’t be an issue in the future. We’ve invested in helping ensure we can detect and respond to security events and incidents that impact the Platform’s infrastructure. We’re frequently updating our systems to protect your data. Our virtual systems are replaced on a regular basis with new, patched systems. System configuration and consistency are maintained using a combination of configuration management, up-to-date images and continuous deployment. Through continuous deployment, existing systems are decommissioned and replaced by up-to-date images at a regular interval. Only people who need access, get access. Production system access is limited to key members of the AutoConvo engineering team and passwords are expressly forbidden. At a minimum, authentication requires two factors including asymmetric RSA public/private keys and a time-based crypto token.

Don’t just take our word that our systems are secure. We don’t. Even though we’ve endeavored to design secure systems and procedures, we regularly perform security tests to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities. We also conduct periodic penetration tests with expert third-party vendors to help keep our applications safe and secure. These tests cover network, server, database and in-depth testing for vulnerabilities inside AutoConvo applications. We endeavor to prevent single points of failure. Even if there is an interruption to one system, the rest of our services stay up and secure. We physically separate the database instances from application servers and heartily believe in the mantra of single-function servers. All login pages pass data via SSL/TLS for public and private networks, and only support certificates signed by well-known Certificate Authorities. All email and CRM credential related data are encrypted while in transit as well as at rest using military-grade encryption to ensure the security of user IDs and passwords. AutoConvo application passwords are hashed and even our own staff can’t retrieve them. If lost, the password must be reset.

Log Retention:
To improve, debug, or prevent fraud on the Platform, we keep a variety of logs. We make sure logs are destroyed at most 3 months after their collection date. We never use those logs for anything other than monitoring

Data Portability:
GDPR gives the right to a user to download any data that user provides to a service. This allows for easier migration to other services. We think this is a great idea and AutoConvo has always made it possible for users to download their data.

Systematic Pseudonymization of Non-Public Data:
Our applications pseudonymize data to help ensure the privacy of data subjects. Any attribute that doesn’t need to remain in its original form is truncated to remove any possibility to be linked back to a specific data subject.

Right of Erasure:
Because we deal with publicly available web data, information removed from a website is also removed from our database. But if a data subject wishes to speed up the removal of any information in our index, we offer a simple and efficient way to claim email addresses. It is then possible to either update the data or entirely remove it.

California Residents
If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights to personal information that we have collected. Under California law, the exercise of these rights is subject to certain exemptions to safeguard public interests (such as the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (such as maintaining confidentially when legally required). California residents have the right to: (a) ask us for confirmation on whether we are processing your personal information and if you can access such personal information as permitted by law (this may include what personal information we collect, use, or disclose about you); (b) ask us to delete your personal information, as permitted by law; and (c) opt-out of certain data sharing practices with third parties who may use your personal information solely for their own purposes (your right to opt-out is limited to information we sell to these third parties, which means the disclosure of data, including technical device data that does not identify you directly, when a third party might use that data for its own purposes, such as for personalized advertising). We will not discriminate against you, in terms of price or the services that we offer, if you submit one of the rights requests listed in this section.

To exercise your rights to your personal information or for instructions on how to exercise your rights, please contact us at support@AutoConvo.io. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Requests to exercise your rights may be granted in whole, in part, or not at all, depending on the scope and nature of the request and applicable law. To prevent unauthorized access to your personal Information, we take steps to verify your right to the data. Following verification of your identity, we will notify you if we are unable to fulfill your request and outline the reasons we are unable to honor your request at that time.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for that third party’s direct marketing in the preceding calendar year, as well as the names and addresses of those third parties. Requests may be made only once a year and are free of charge. You may opt-out of this disclosure at any time by submitting a request to support@AutoConvo.io.

Merger and Acquisition
In the event that the AutoConvo is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. Please be aware that once the information is transferred, your privacy rights may change.
