Privacy and Cookies Policy
Last update: February 28, 2020
SalesQL helps businesses connect with one another by providing web applications, browser extensions, and other online services.
We are committed to respecting everyone's privacy and design our services with this goal in mind, in accordance with European Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regards to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (“GDPR”) and applicable data protection laws.
In order to satisfy our customers’ expectations and to ensure the respect of data subjects’ rights, we regularly improve internal processes.
This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect and how we process it. If you have any questions, please reach out, we'll be glad to help: info (at) salesql.com.
This Privacy applies to all services offered by SalesQL including:
The web platform
Our public API
Our Browser extension
G Suite addons
What information does SalesQL collect?
Any use of the web application, browser extension and/or API access is bound by these Terms of Service plus the following specific terms:
When you are on our website
When you're using our website, we track your usage. This includes statistics such as which pages you visit and how long you look at them. This information may include but is not limited to IP address, geolocalisation information, browser type and information about the use of our website, including a history of the pages you view.
If you create an account, we request information including, but not limited to: your email, your name and the company you work for. All this information is used to personalize your experience and send you onboarding emails and invoices.
In cases of elevated fraud risk, we might ask for a phone number for verification purposes (we will never use it for marketing purposes). If you become a paying customer, we will collect your payment card information.
When you use our services
Whether you use our services through the API, the website, G-Suite add-ons or the browser extensions we provide, we monitor your usage and log the requests that you make. These logs can include IP addresses, geolocalization information, browser type and other relevant information. We destroy these logs after 3 months at the latest.
When using our services, you might also be asked to send us some data or data files.
When you contact our support team
If you reach out via email or chat, we keep a record of the conversations and any other data you might send during those exchanges. When you delete your account, those conversations are removed after a period of no more than 6 months.
When someone uses our mail tracking service
Our users can send emails through our platform and get tracking information on them. We let users know if we think their emails have been opened, where and how many times.
To offer these features, we store certain details to help identify the emails, such as the subject of the email, the date and time at which the email was sent and information about the recipient(s). However we don’t store the body of the concerned email. Where possible, we store the data in a pseudonymized form.
We may also store the location of the person opening the emails, using IP addresses. To respect users' privacy, the IP addresses collected this way are also pseudonymized.
When we parse public web data
We use servers to look at publicly available online pages and process business data on them. Only public pages are looked at and only publicly available online data that can be found by a search engine is indexed by our servers.
If a website asks crawlers not to look at a particular piece of content via a robots.txt file, we respect this request. Our robots systematically view the robot.txt file before exploring and indexing the public data available on the website. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites.
On those public pages, we look for business data such as names, professional emails, social networks and URLs.

To provide SalesQL's Services, we also give you access to the publicly accessible business data we have indexed.
