We will never sell your data to third parties. However, in the course of business, we may hire third-party individuals and organizations to help us improve the Offerings. For example:
- We may share your personal information with third parties including our web host provider, other SaaS providers, such as an email hosting service, payment processors or outside contractors we hire to perform maintenance or assist us in securing our website.
- We may share your personal information when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce a Customer Agreement, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (c) protect against imminent harm to our rights, property or safety, or that of our users or the public as required or permitted by law;
- We may share your personal information with third parties (including our service providers and government entities) to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud or security or technical issues;
- We may share your personal information with a third party if we have your consent to do so.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
In addition, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
From time to time we may employ third parties to help us provide and/or improve the Services. These third parties may have limited access to databases of user information or registered member information solely for the purpose of helping us to provide and/or improve the Services and they will be subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting them from using the information about our users for any other purpose. Such agents or third parties do not have any rights to use Personal Information beyond what is absolutely necessary to assist us. We endeavour to keep an updated list of such third parties, with links to their privacy policies, which you can find here.
The Offerings may also contain links to third party websites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us. Even if the third party is affiliated with us through a business partnership or otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third party. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of such third parties to determine how they handle any information they separately collect from you. Please be aware that we do not warn you when you choose to click through to another website when using the Offerings. The Websites contain features that enable you to post reviews, comments or other content that is publicly viewable. You should be aware that any personal information you submit as part of those posts can be read, collected, or used by other visitors to the Websites, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to publicly post on the Websites.
YOUR CONTROLS AND CHOICES
COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included on such communications or on the Offerings. Please note, however, that you may be unable to opt-out of certain service-related communications.
BLOCKING COOKIES
You can remove or block certain cookies using the settings in your browser but the Offerings may cease to function properly if you do so.
CHOOSING NOT TO SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Where we need to collect your personal information by law, or to be able to provide the Services to you and you do not provide that information when requested (or you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with the Services and may need to close your account. We will tell you what information you must provide to receive the Services by designating it as required in the Service or through other appropriate means.
DO NOT TRACK SIGNAL
We treat the data of everyone who comes to our site in accordance with this Privacy Policy, whatever their Do Not Track setting.
RIGHT TO ACCESS, EDIT, AND REMOVE YOUR INFORMATION
You have a right to access personal information we hold about you. Whenever you use our Websites or Services, we strive to make sure that the Personal Information is correct. If that information is wrong, we give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your Personal Information, we may ask you to verify your identity before making any changes. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. Because we protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, even after information is deleted from Databook Services, it may not be immediately deleted from Databook’s servers.
If you prefer Databook to not sell or share your information: Submit a request on the web form or email us at privacy@trydatabook.com.
EXECUTIVE INFORMATION
Through the Services, we provide our Customers and users access to Personal Information about various Executives. We refer to this as Executive Information.
We obtain the Executive Information exclusively from publicly available sources, such as websites for the companies at which an Executive works or public company filings made with governmental regulators. We provide this Executive Information to our Customers and users to give them business insights regarding our Customers clients and competitors.
In particular, we store and provide our Customers access to the following categories of Executive Information:
- First and last name
- Job title
- Biographical information
- Compensation
We take the following steps to ensure the integrity of the Executive Information:
- Business Information Only – Databook only collects business-related information about Executives.
- Opt Out – Anyone added to our databases may request to be removed at any time, via the contact information provided below. While Databook will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we also reserve the right to impose certain restrictions and requirements on such requests, if allowed or required by applicable laws.
In many cases, we have no direct relationship with the Executives who are the subject of the Executive Information. If you are contacted by one of our Customers who uses our Services and would no longer like to be contacted by them, please contact the Customer that you interact with directly. We may transfer Executive Information to companies that help us provide our Services. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our Customers.
If you would like to know if we hold any Executive Information about you, or if you wish for us to correct, amend, or delete such information, please follow the instructions under “Right to Access, Edit, and Remove Your Information” above.
SECURITY MEASURES
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain a variety of appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information. For instance, never give out your password, and safeguard your user name, password and personal credentials when you are using the Services, so that other people will not have access to your Personal Information. Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining the security of any personal computing device on which you utilize the Services.
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

Except as explained below, any non-material change (such as clarifications) to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the date the change is posted, and any material changes will become effective 30 days from their posting on /privacy-policy or via email to your listed email address. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all Personal Information that we have about you and your account. The date on which the latest update was made is indicated at the top of this document. We recommend that you print a copy of this Privacy Policy for your reference and revisit this policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Services signifies your acceptance of any changes.
If applicable law requires your opt in consent to any particular amendment to this Privacy Policy, the amendment will not apply to your Personal Information until we receive such consent from you. To the extent we cannot provide some or all of the Services without your consent to such amendment to the Privacy Policy, your decision not to consent may result in our having to limit your ability to use certain aspects of the Services.
