rel8ed provides a wide variety of data management and analytics services, helping our clients and the platforms and partners they work with to understand their customers better. Many of these services are described in greater detail on our website, https://www.rel8ed.to. The information we use is collected through relationships we have with other companies such as data suppliers, business partners, data services providers, government and public sources, and our clients.

rel8ed receives data from, and handles data on behalf of, a variety of companies, applications and services, and data compilers and suppliers. We also obtain data through public sources, such as Open Data portals, census data and other publications, records, sources, registries, and records 
available to the public. Some of the data we receive, use and make available is personal information or is linked to personal information. Personal information may include, for instance, name, postal address, telephone number or email address and certain employment-related data.

Many of our services use and make available “business to business” data, which is obtained from a number of sources, including public portals and directories, filings and publications, and other publicly available marketing sources. This data may contain personal information about the principal participants in the business (“Principals”).

We limit our collection of personal information to include only what is necessary to supply our clients with the information needed to provide them with the services described in this Privacy Policy. We periodically review the data in our database to confirm that it only contains information relevant to the services we provide.

We may also collect personal information and sensitive information for purposes related to running our business (but not for delivery to customers as part of our services):

• Customer and Prospective Customer contact information, such as individual email address, telephone number and postal address, for the purposes of responding to customer inquiries or requests;
• Information necessary to process payments for services that customers purchase from us; and,
• Individual customer purchase history, product/service preferences and satisfaction data, and opinions about products and services, for the purpose of enhancing our relationship with our customers.

The information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our products and/or services to you in the best possible manner. In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:

• To provide you with information relating to our services and/or products;
• To fulfil or meet the reason you provided the information;
• To provide data services, such as (but not limited to) verification, record look-ups, anti-fraud services, B2B records and services, and other analytic services.
• To create sets of business and personal attributes – categories of information that are grouped together based on common interests, preferences, and non-personal geo-demographic information (“Profiles”). These Profiles may be associated with a business or person. Our customers may use these Profiles to learn more about their own customers and improve their own databases.
• To communicate with customers regarding services that may be of interest to them;
• To manage, administer, collect or otherwise enforce accounts;
• To assist in the investigation of illegal and/or fraudulent activities;
• To provide third parties with statistical information about the users of our Site;

• To analyze trends;
• To create business profiles, including details about business ownership;
• To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Site users is among the assets transferred.

In addition, we may provide anonymous information (i.e., information that does not identify in-dividual consumers or Principals) in the form of aggregate or demographic data to our clients or service providers. We may also generate and use anonymous information to develop, enhance or validate our products, processes or services. Personal information may be used to generate anonymous information and, when required, to research, validate and test the use of such information in processes, products, services and enhancements.

We will not use personal information or sensitive personal information for purposes other than to provide you with our products and/or services, or as otherwise expressly permitted by applicable law. We will not use your sensitive personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We will not use personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you with notice and/or updating this Privacy Policy.

To secure your information, we have put in place commercially suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect on our Site.

Nonetheless, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically on our Site, and transmission of such data is therefore entirely at your own risk.

Where applicable, we may disclose your personal information to any affiliated business entities or third parties necessary to provide products and/or services to you. This includes, where applicable, our subsidiaries, our holding company and its other subsidiaries (if any), as well as third parties involved in the administration and operation of our products and/or services. We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties, such as:

• Where we sell or share any or all of our business and/or our assets to a third party, whether through bankruptcy proceedings or other sale or merger.
• Where we are legally required to disclose your information, including, but not limited to, pursuant to a valid subpoena, order, search warrant or other law enforcement request.
• When we are contractually obligated to disclose it.
• Where we sell or share your personal information as part of a business.
• We may share data, including personal information and Profiles, with agents, business partners and service providers who work on our behalf, or to help us provide services requested by our customers.
• We may share data, including personal information and Profiles, with business and data partners (such as business partners who provide their own applications or data services to customers) or with clients, to help them provide more tailored offerings and for their own analytical purposes.

We may share personal information with third parties engaged to assist us in providing services and information to our customers. In addition, we may engage third parties to assist us with infrastructure maintenance and support. These service providers are prohibited from using personal information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance and are required to comply with the general principles described in this Privacy Policy. Some of these service providers are located outside of our operating environments of the United States and Canada. As a result, personal information may be subject to local laws, which may permit local law enforcement, government or national security authorities to have access to personal information in certain circumstances. Where we disclose personal information for a purpose set forth herein, we enter a contract with the third party that describes the purpose and requires the third-party recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

We may sell your personal information or share your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, to or with third parties. If you are a California resident, see below for more information on your rights and choices related to this sale and/or sharing.
