Privacy Policy

Sale Samurai (owned by Digital Marketing Solutions 2011) offers research software products and multiple services to its international customers. We respect and protect our customers' private information. This policy begins applying to visitors and customers as soon as they visit Sale Samurai's website, or websites that Sale Samurai owns, for the first time.

Why This Policy Exists

This data protection policy ensures Sale Samurai:

• Complies with data protection law and follows good practice
• Protects the rights of staff, customers and partners
• Is transparent about how it stores and processes individuals' personal data
• Protects itself from the risk of a data breach

The General Data Protection Regulation

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, protect and empower all EU citizens' data privacy, and reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. The GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying regulation within the EU.

What Is "Personal Data"?

"Personal data" is defined in both the Directive and the GDPR as any information relating to a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that person. Online identifiers including IP address and cookies may be regarded as personal data if they can be linked back to the data subject without undue effort.

Information Collection and Use

Website Visitors

Sale Samurai collects non-personally-identifying information that web servers and browsers provide, including browser type, language preference, referring website, date and time of each request, and a record of URLs visited. This information is collected by Google Analytics and/or StatCounter and retained by Google Analytics for 26 months before records are destroyed. You can read the Google Analytics TOS for more detail. The purpose of collecting this data is to understand how visitors browse Sale Samurai's websites and to reward affiliates — it is not used to profile visitors.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors interact with Sale Samurai in ways that require gathering personally-identifying information. The amount and type gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. Those engaging in transactions are asked to provide additional information, including personal and financial information required to process those transactions. Sale Samurai collects such information only insofar as necessary to fulfill the purpose of the interaction. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, though this may prevent them from becoming a customer.

In some cases, Sale Samurai asks website visitors wishing to become customers to provide additional information beyond the signup form, to verify identity and reduce fraud. Customers who decline may not be permitted to become customers. We do not collect additional information such as age, gender, interests, or bank details.

For certain services, Sale Samurai may collect a data feed including the action performed, the IP address from which it was performed, and a timestamp. This is used to detect anomalies or malicious behavior and to help restore client data if needed.

When You Contact Us

You can use websites owned by Sale Samurai without giving out personal information. Once you contact Sale Samurai, we collect information about you. Information you provide (name, email address, organization) is processed and stored so we can respond to your request and/or provide you access to our services.

Recruitment

If you apply for a job with Sale Samurai, we collect, process, and store the information you send us for recruitment-related purposes, such as contacting you. We may keep your data for a period of time to consider you for other opportunities.

Social Media Plug-ins

Sale Samurai websites may feature social plug-ins for sharing and following our pages on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, and Google. Visiting our site does not automatically share data with these networks — plug-ins remain inactive until clicked. Once clicked, you are taken to that network's own site, governed by its own privacy policy.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Sale Samurai discloses personally-identifying information only to employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need it to provide services on our behalf and that have agreed not to disclose it further. Some of these parties may be located outside your home country; by using our products and services, you consent to the transfer of your information to them. Sale Samurai will not rent, sell, or share personally-identifying information except in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.

If you're a customer and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally email you about new products or services, solicit feedback, notify you of an outage, or keep you updated. We take reasonable technical measures to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of your information.

Access to Information

You have the right to request access to the information Sale Samurai holds on you by contacting us at helpdesk.salesamurai.io. We will provide a copy of the data we process about you, and may ask you to verify your identity first. Requests are fulfilled electronically unless another method is specified. Subsequent requests may incur an administrative fee.

Information Correction and Deletion

If you believe the information we hold about you is incorrect, contact us and we'll update it. Data no longer needed for the purposes described above will be deleted. You may also contact us at any time to request deletion of your information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information a website stores on a visitor's computer, provided back to the website on return visits. Sale Samurai uses cookies to identify and track visitors, their usage of our websites, and their access preferences. Visitors who don't want cookies should configure their browser to refuse them, though some site features may not function properly as a result.

Business Transfers

If Sale Samurai, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired — or in the unlikely event Sale Samurai goes out of business or enters bankruptcy — user information would be one of the assets transferred. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and any acquirer may continue to use your personal information as set out in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on our website may be delivered by advertising partners who may set their own cookies, allowing them to recognize your computer and deliver targeted advertisements. This Privacy Policy covers Sale Samurai's use of cookies and does not cover the use of cookies by advertisers.

California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information about our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 permits registered users who are minors to request deletion of certain posted content.

Privacy Policy Changes

Sale Samurai may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, at its sole discretion. We encourage visitors to check this page periodically. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of that change.
