DATA STORAGE, RETENTION & DESTRUCTION

Data storage, retention and destruction policies vary by product, as described in more detail below.

LeadConduit: LeadConduit is not intended for long-term data storage. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, ActiveProspect reserves the right to delete Leads stored in LeadConduit that are more than 100days old. ActiveProspect is not responsible for storage of Leads after that 100-day period.

TrustedForm: TrustedForm Certificates created via the TrustedForm Certify Web SDK are automatically deleted approximately 72 hours after creation unless a submit event is detected (for example, when TrustedForm detects the visitor submits the form on the page). Certificates where a submit event is detected are automatically deleted after approximately 90 days unless they have been retained in Your Account via TrustedForm Retain. TrustedForm Certificates created via TrustedForm Certify for Facebook Lead Ads are only stored when retained by Your Account. Retained Certificates are stored in Your Account for 5 years by default, unless You specify a different retention period.  

SuppressionList: SuppressionList is designed to store lists of hashed data for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which such data was collected. Data will be retained for the period You specify.

If you need to delete an individual consumer’s record from our systems, the process is to make the data subject request (DSR) by emailing [email protected]. Our support team will assist in the coordination of the data deletion request. In the case of LeadConduit, if you can provide any supplementary linkable data for searching, including associated PII or the ]ID of the Lead record in LeadConduit, this will assist in making the requested deletions. In the case of TrustedForm Certificates, you must provide us with the certificate URL. We are unable to search for a corresponding TrustedForm Certificate using PII (such as email, name, phone number).

LeadsBridge:  If you are purchasing the LeadsBridge services, by accepting these Terms of Service, you also accept the LeadsBridge Privacy Policy and Data Protection Agreement (DPA).  In the event of any inconsistency between the content of these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy and the DPA, the Terms of Service shall prevail followed by the DPA and then the Privacy Policy.

SENSITIVE DATA

You represent and warrant that You may not use any of the Services to input Sensitive Data: TrustedForm, LeadsBridge, LeadConduit, and SuppressionList. Sensitive Data may be collected by You via LeadConduit, subject to the following terms and conditions:

Protection of Sensitive Data in Transit:

Any Sensitive Data sent to or from any ActiveProspect product or servicet must be transmitted via SSL connection. ActiveProspect uses industry standard SSL ciphers to ensure Sensitive Data is protected while in transit.

Protection of Sensitive Data at Rest:

All data residing in a database in Your Account is encrypted at rest.

Select Sensitive Data fields within LeadConduit are handled, processed, and stored with additional protections which may disallow storage, hash values, obfuscate display, or restrict data export or aggregate data reporting of these data fields in LeadConduit.  An example of a flagged data field with additional data protections is Social Security Number (“SSN”).  SSN designated fields or fields formatted similar to SSN are restricted so as not to be written or stored in LeadConduit, not written to log files, not displayed and not exportable from LeadConduit.  You may designate or flag other Sensitive Data fields as needed to ensure these additional protections.     

Per the TrustedForm Certify EULA, the TrustedForm service may not be used to capture Sensitive Data fields. If you place the TrustedForm Certify Web SDK on a site that collects Sensitive Data, you must flag these fields as containing Sensitive Data.  The TrustedForm Certify Web SDK allows you to flag any or all fields containing Sensitive Data. When this feature is used, TrustedForm applies a cryptographic hash to the flagged fields.  When a TrustedForm session replay is viewed, the data in a flagged field will be seen only as a series of asterisks.  TrustedForm also supports the ability to treat all fields as Sensitive Data. When this option is selected, you can flag individual fields that you don’t want to be treated as Sensitive Data.

You shall not use the Services to collect Sensitive Data in field types that are not specifically marked for Sensitive Data, or in any way attempt to circumvent the security protocols described herein.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

ActiveProspect offers a variety of professional services which You can add to your existing agreement, billed on an hourly fee or project basis, such as integrating ActiveProspect products with client systems or customizing the Services (“Professional Services”). Professional Services will be performed only on Your advance approval and You will be invoiced at the rate on your Order Form or at other rates approved in advance in writing by You. If Professional Services hours are purchased in advance, there are no refunds for unused time and such time will not be rolled over to the following month. ActiveProspect will retain the sole and exclusive right to control or direct the manner or means by which the Professional Services are performed, and we may subcontract or assign any or all of our obligations and rights to conduct the Professional Services under this Agreement. All right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in any ideas, know-how, and software developed by ActiveProspect or its licensors during the course of performance of the Professional Services will remain the property of ActiveProspect or its licensors.
