Your data is shared in the following manner:
Typically, we store data, such as contact information, from Customers and Business Partners on servers within the EU.
While data in the EU/UK is protected by Data Protection Laws, not all countries adhere to the same privacy standards. To provide our Service, we might need to transfer some of your data outside of the EEA (comprising all EU countries including Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein) as some of our servers might be located in the US or other regions outside the EEA.
We might also need to use service providers ("Processors") located outside the EEA to aid us in delivering our websites and Services (e.g., platform providers assisting us with our Services or advertising). Consequently, your data may be transferred to service providers outside the EEA for the purpose of providing our applications, advertising, and Services.
By using our website or Services or interacting with us as described in this Privacy Policy, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA under the conditions laid out in this Privacy Policy. If you do not want your data transferred outside the EEA, you should refrain from using our website or Services.
We will keep your data as long as our business relationship lasts and afterwards, for as long as is necessary and relevant for our legitimate business purposes, in accordance with Leads.io’s Data Retention Policy, or as otherwise permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws. Once your data is no longer required, we will securely delete it (without further notice to you).
We deploy reasonable security measures to safeguard your data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. However, as no transmission method over the Internet or electronic storage method is entirely secure, there is a minimal risk of the data collected by us being compromised. If you suspect that any data has been compromised, please get in touch with us. In the event of a security system breach, we will notify you and the authorities as per the provisions of the applicable law.
