Additional Information for California

If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the following information also applies to you and supplements the information contained in this Privacy Statement:

Information We Collect and Sources of Information:

Our Privacy Statement already describes the information we collect and the sources of information – see the above sections “Personal Information We Collect” and “How We Use Personal Information”. This section organizes that information around the personal information categories set out in the CCPA:

In the past 12 months, we have collected the following information for the following purposes:

  • Identifiers (such as your name, username, email address and cookies). We obtain this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with the Sales Hacker Resources.
  • Business records (such as payment information). We obtain this information directly from you or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with the Sales Hacker Resources.
  • Demographic information / Classification characteristics under California or federal law (such as age or date of birth). We obtain this information if you provide it to us.
  • Commercial information (such as services purchased). We obtain this information directly from you or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with the Sales Hacker Resources.
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as search history and browser information). We obtain this information automatically in the course of your interactions with the Sales Hacker Resources.
  • Geolocation data (such as your country location based on your IP address). We obtain this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with the Sales Hacker Resources.
  • Audio, video and other electronic data (such as the content you upload to the Website,  chat and any interaction that you may have with us and other users of the Website, for example for customer service purposes or content posted on the forums).

  • Professional or employment-related information (such as your job title). We obtain this information when you provide it to us.
  • Profiles and inferences (such as inferences drawn from any of the information identified above to create a profile). We obtain this information automatically in the course of your interactions with our Website.

How We Share your Personal Information:

We do not share your personal information except as approved by you or as otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information described above for the business purposes described in this Privacy Statement:

  • Demographic information / Classification characteristics;
  • Commercial information;
  • Geo-location data; 
  • Audio, video and other electronic data;

Under the CCPA, a “sale” is defined very broadly and includes a wide array of data sharing. As the term is defined by the CCPA, we “sold” the following categories of personal information in the last 12 months: identifiers/contact information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from the above. We “sold” such information to advertising networks and data analytics providers. The business purposes of “selling” personal information is for third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as marketing, advertising, and audience measurement.  We do not have any actual knowledge that we “sell” personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the sites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a site should respond to this signal, and we do not take any action in response to this signal.

If you are a California resident our default cookie settings may constitute a sale of personal information. You can change your cookie settings using our cookie consent management tool here .

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the following consumer privacy rights:

  • Right to Know – You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you.

  • Right to Request Deletion – You also have a right to request that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. To make a request to delete, contact us at privacy@saleshacker.com. 
  • Right to Opt-Out – You have a right to opt-out from future “sales” of personal information. Note that the CCPA defines “sell” and “personal information” very broadly, and some of our data sharing described in this privacy statement may be considered a “sale” under those definitions as explained above. For more information, including how to opt-out, please see the “Cookies and Other Tracking technologies” section of this statement.

California law also permits you to request certain information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by us and our related companies to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. 

You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA.

Further, to provide or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law.

Data Retention

Sales Hacker will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Sales Hacker Resources. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you the Sales Hacker Resources, you may delete your account. We may retain and use your information for longer where we have a legitimate business purpose to do so or  as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically reasonably feasible to remove it. When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. 

Blogs

Our website offers publicly accessible blogs or community forums. You should be aware that any personal information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

Security

Sales Hacker stresses its privacy and security standards.

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We encrypt the most sensitive data that you store on Sales Hacker using standard encryption methods, which is the same encryption standard used by banks to secure customer data.

Children

The Sales Hacker Resources are not directed to persons under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without the parent’s consent, he or she should contact us at support@saleshacker.com.
