Privacy Policy

Boost.link is an application designed to make it easy for businesses and marketers to create social sign-up URLs for you and their visitors to sign up for their mailing list without having to type in an opt-in form.

We are committed to protecting your privacy, and this policy explains how we collect and process personal information about you when you visit our website (including boost.link, start.boost.link, my.boost.link, checkout.boost.link), when you use our products and services (our “Services”), or when you otherwise do business or make contact with us.

Please read this policy carefully to understand how we handle your personal information.

What information do we collect?

We may collect and process the following personal information from you:

  1. Information you provide to us: We collect personal information when you voluntarily provide us with such information in the course of using our website or Services. For example, when you register to use our Services, we will collect your name, email address, password and billing details. We also collect personal information from you when you subscribe to our newsletter, or respond to a survey. If you make an inquiry through our website, or contact us in any other way, we will keep a copy of your communications with us.
  2. Information we collect when you do business with us: We may process your personal information when you do business with us – for example, as a customer or prospective customer, or as a vendor, supplier, consultant, or other third party. For example, we may hold your business contact information and financial account information (if any) and other communications you have with us for the purposes of maintaining our business relations with you.
  3. Information we automatically collect: We may also collect certain technical information by automatic means when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type and operating system, referring URLs, your use of our website, and other clickstream data. We collect this information automatically through the use of various technologies, such as cookies.
  4. Personal information where we act as a data processor: We also process personal information on behalf of our customers in the context of supporting our products and services. Where a customer subscribes to our Services, they will be the ones who control what data is collected and stored on our systems. For example, they may ask us to request from you basic user data (e.g., email address), but may request more detailed information (e.g. your social profile URL). In such cases, we are data processors acting in accordance with the instructions of our customers. You will need to refer to the privacy policies of our customers to find out more about how such information is handled by them.

What do we use your information for?

The personal information we collect from you may be used in one or more of the following ways:

  1. To deal with enquiries, requests and technical support (your information helps us respond to your individual needs)
  2. To create and administer records about any online account that you register with us
  3. To provide you with information and access to resources that you have requested from us
  4. To improve our website (we continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you), including to improve the navigation and content of our sites
  5. For website and system administration and security
  6. For general business purposes, including to improve customer service (your information helps us to more effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs), to help us improve the content and functionality of our Services, to better understand our users, to protect against wrongdoing, to enforce our Terms of Service, and to generally manage our business
  7. To process transactions and to provide Services to our customers and end-users
  8. For recruitment purposes, in the event you apply for a job with us
  9. To administer contests, promotions, surveys, or other content across our site
  10. To send periodic transactional emails. The email address you provide to process your order and purchase a product will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order. Where it is in accordance with your marketing preferences, we will send occasional marketing emails about our products and services, which you can unsubscribe from at any time using the link provided in the message

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. During and after a transaction, none of your private information (e.g., credit card numbers, social security numbers, financials) are transmitted to nor stored on our servers.

Do we use cookies?

Yes. Please see our cookie policy for more information.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We will only share your information with third parties in certain circumstances:

  1. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us, including cloud hosting services, off-site backups, email service providers, and customer support providers. We will only share your personal information with third parties to the extent necessary to perform these functions, in accordance with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
  2. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, your personal information may be sold, disposed of, transferred, or otherwise disclosed as part of that transaction.
  3. We may also disclose information about you to third parties where we believe it necessary or appropriate under law, for example: (1) to protect or defend our rights, interests, or property or that of third parties; (2) to comply with legal process, judicial orders, or subpoenas; (3) to respond to requests from public or government authorities, including for national security and law enforcement purposes; (4) to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services or to enforce our Terms of Service; (5) to protect the vital interests of our users, customers, and other third parties.
  4. We may use and share aggregated non-personal information with third parties for marketing, advertising, and analytics purposes.

We do not sell or trade your personal information to third parties.
