Client and website visitor data:

You must enter the above information yourself to create an account unless we receive such information (except phone number) about you from the Gmail authentication token when you choose to sign up using the ‘Sign In with Google’ button.

When you register an account, the Platform creates a unique identifier (user ID) to facilitate your identification on the Platform.

(b) Authentication Token Information. When you create an account on the Platform through the ‘Sign In with Google’ button, we collect encrypted Gmail authentication token obtained from Google LLC. We can obtain the following information about you via such a token: first and last names, email address, language settings.

Such information includes your company name, approximate company size, your occupation and purpose for using our Platform.

GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING

We collect and process your personal data or the personal data you provided us with in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR and other applicable laws.

GDPR provides an exclusive list of lawful bases allowing us to process the personal data. During the personal data processing, we rely only on four of them, namely:

Article 6.1(a): consent

We collect the information you choose to give us, and we process it with your consent. We require the minimum amount of your personal data that is necessary to notify you about our services and products (for example, send you a newsletter or offer).

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Please remember that the withdrawal of consent does NOT automatically mean that the processing before the withdrawal is considered unlawful.

You may withdraw the consent to the processing of your personal data by sending us an email at help@snov.io, a message via the Site’s online chat form, or by contacting us in any other way convenient for you.

You may also withdraw your consent to receiving marketing communications from us at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link provided in the first marketing communication you receive, via the Account’s settings page or otherwise by contacting the Company via available contact options.

Article 6.1(f): legitimate interests

We can process prospect data and business data based on our, your and your potential business partner’s legitimate interests, namely to:

  • contribute to business cooperation between you and your potential business partners;
  • create and assist in discovering new business-targeted marketing and sales opportunities for you and your potential business partners;
  • allow you to expand your database of the potential business partners;
  • develop the new unique platform that simplifies and facilitates professional interaction between businesses;
  • allow you to use an online platform for businesses that combines sales, CRM, analytics, marketing and email service functionality;
  • allow your potential business partners to approach new potential and verified clients or suppliers;
  • allow your potential business partners to commercialize the use of their publicly posted information related to their professional or business interests/occupation.

We use only strictly necessary data that was subject to the legitimate interest assessment procedure.

Article 6.1(b): performance of a contract

When you provide us with the personal data during the registration of the account on the Platform, insert requested payment information to purchase services; this can be deemed as your request to form a contract or to perform a contract between you and us. However, we may ask you to give us clear consent in case of doubt.

Article 6.1(c): legal obligation

We process your personal data to fulfill the applicable legal obligations arising mainly under the GDPR. If you send us the request to fulfill the rights granted by the GDPR, we may ask you for some personal data we already have to identify you and achieve compliance with the applicable law.

GOOGLE USER DATA

IMPORTANT: Snovio's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We analyze all new email in your Inbox using automated algorithms and, in the event they received as answer to emails sent via campaigns and single send email option, we will store them (with all text information, attaches and images) and record the results of the analysis to provide accurate campaign functioning, campaign statistics, demonstrate the content of the emails to the user (to which Snovio does not have access), and ensure operability of the Remind Me feature in case the sent email receives no reply.

We do not access your Sent emails through your Gmail account. We use access to draft sending in your Gmail account to ensure the operability of the Send Later feature.

We may add a tracking pixel to the body of emails sent through our service to track email opens and wrap your links with tracking domain to track link clicks. We use the data acquired through these tracking methods to maintain email campaign operability and provide campaign reports.

You may revoke Snovio’s access to your Gmail account in the Account’s settings page here. If you decide to do so, we will lose access to your Gmail account and will no longer be able to provide you campaign sending services through Gmail API.

We delete all data collected from your Gmail account upon request.

Not all Google User Data may contain personal data. Some statistical data will be anonymized.

With regard to the access to Google User Data as specified above, we will:

  • only use access to read, write, modify, or control Gmail message bodies (including attachments), metadata, headers, and settings to provide a web email client that allows users to compose, send, read, and process emails and will not transfer this Gmail data to others unless doing so is necessary to provide and improve these features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets;
  • not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements;
  • not allow humans to read this data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for the Platform's internal operations and even then only when the data have been aggregated and anonymized.
SNOVIO EXTENSIONS AND INTEGRATIONS

You may use our extensions, namely Email Finder, Li Prospect Finder, Unlimited Email Tracker, Email Verifier, and Web Technology Checker to facilitate your email campaigns to your potential business partners.

Email Finder and LI Prospect Finder

To use the extensions, you need to be registered at and logged into app.snov.io. Upon installation and activation of the extensions, the extensions may collect personal information such as email addresses and business profiles from publicly available sources. Handling and storing of this information in your account on your behalf occurs only at your request. At the same time, we may store certain information obtained when you use the LI Prospect Finder extension such as business profiles you visited. This data is stored in our database and can be found through a search inside the Platform.

If you do not want your personal data to be included as part of our service, you may opt-out by contacting us at help@snov.io or opt-out from all mailing lists on the Platform through this form. You can read more in the ‘HOW TO DELETE MY DATA’ section of this Policy.

Unlimited Email Tracker

The extension may require authorization in our web application (app.snov.io). Additionally, to use the Send Later and Remind Me features you must allow Snovio to access your Google account. You can learn more about how Snovio uses your Google data in the ‘GOOGLE USER DATA’ section of this Policy.

You can send emails through your usual Gmail interface and Unlimited Email Tracker extension will provide tracking information. We’ll let you know if we think your emails have been opened and how many times. We store the subject and message ID of emails for the open notifications only. We use them for tracking, as well as to enable the ‘Send Later’ and ‘Remind Me’ features. We store message ID, subject, sender, and recipient of an email for fraud prevention purposes within the period specified in ‘DATA SECURITY, INTEGRITY, AND RETENTION’ section of this Policy.

Email Verifier

To use the extension, you need to be registered at and logged into app.snov.io. The extension may collect email addresses from the websites you visit. We store the data only upon your request, and only if you click the "Save" button.

Third-Party Integrations

On our Platform we enable users to use our integration with HubSpot or Pipedrive service to synchronize Prospect and Business data from their Snovio account with data about contacts stored in their HubSpot or Pipedrive account. When you integrate your HubSpot or Pipedrive account with our Platform, the data is transferred from your Snovio account to the HubSpot or Pipedrive account and from the Hubspot or Pipedrive account to your Snovio account in order to synchronize data between both platforms.

By enabling third-party integration, you potentially allow the third-party platform to access your data. We highly recommend reviewing the privacy practices implemented by the third-party services before enabling any integrations with them. You may read HubSpot’s Privacy Policy here and Pipedrive’s Privacy Notice here.

Email AI (Integration with OpenAI API)

The clients can use Email AI feature to write and edit the email text (including the email tone and language) and/or generate the email subject line according to the provided information. We use OpenAI's API to provide clients with the Email AI feature, available to fee-based plans. The Email AI feature is available by default, but the client can deactivate it on any occasion.

When the client uses the Email AI feature, we will transmit the client email's textual content to OpenAI to generate or edit the text and/or subject line according to the provided information. Be aware the generated email text and/or email subject line may occasionally be inaccurate due to the nature of machine learning. The client is solely responsible for reviewing the generated text and/or subject line.

Please note, Snovio and OpenAI may retain the information you provide us with while using the Email AI feature for a limited period of time. You can learn more about how long your Email AI data is stored and processed below in the ‘DATA SECURITY, INTEGRITY, AND RETENTION’ section of this Policy.

We highly recommend reviewing the privacy practices implemented by OpenAI before using the Email AI feature. You may read OpenAI Sharing & publication policy, OpenAI API data usage policies and Open AI Usage policies.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

To keep users informed about our new products and services, we may send them promotional messages via SMS or email.

We may send SMS messages under legal bases as defined in the ‘HOW WE USE YOUR DATA’ section of this Policy. During the sign-up process, clients are provided with a checkbox to opt in to receive marketing communications. By selecting this checkbox, clients are actively providing their consent to receive marketing messages from us. This step is optional, and clients can skip the checkbox and proceed with the sign-up process if they prefer not to receive any marketing communications.

For clients registered on the Platform prior to the implementation of this option, marketing messages may be sent based on the Company's legitimate interests. However, these clients retain the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time as defined in this Policy.

We can send marketing communications promoting our similar products and services by email under our legitimate interests. We have conducted a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA) to assess that this processing is necessary and balanced against the rights and freedoms of our clients.

Opportunity to withdraw consent or opt-out

Clients can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time. The first marketing SMS message we send and every email include a link to unsubscribe from receiving marketing communications. If the client wants to stop receiving further marketing content from us, they can follow the link and withdraw their consent or opt out.
