-
- Name, company name, email address, job title, industry, country of residence, phone number.
- Login and password (credentials for access to your personal accounts or instances).
You may provide this information directly if it needed for your use of our Services and/or Websites. If you are our employee or individual subcontractor we also ask you to provide consent for collecting education-, career-related and other background information which we process according to our notice related to processing recruitment data that is provided in your contract or as a separate document by our HR-specialists.
Also, we collect other data that you submit to our Websites or as you participate in any interactive features of the our Services, participate in a survey, contest, promotion, sweepstakes, activity or event, apply for a job, request customer support, communicate with us via third party social media sites or otherwise communicate with us.
In some cases, another user (such as a system administrator) may create an account on your behalf and may provide your information, including Personal Data (most commonly when your company requests that you use our Services). We collect information under the direction of our customers and often have no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personal Data we process. If you are an employee of one of our customers and would no longer like us to process your information, please contact your employer. If you are providing information (including personal data) about someone else, you must have the authority to act for them and to consent to the collection and use of their personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect and store Content that you create, input, submit, post, upload, transmit, store or display in the process of using our Services. Such Content may include personal data or other sensitive information that you choose to include (“Third party personal data”). As to Third party personal data, we are processors of this data, and you (or the company on whose behalf you access and use our Services) are a controller of such data according to the provisions of GDPR. Our actions in the processor`s role are subject to applicable law and/or data processing agreement and/or instructions of the controller of such data. We are not responsible for neither the content of the personal data contained in the Content or other information stored on our servers (or our subcontractors’ servers) at your discretion, nor for the manner in which your collect, handle disclosures of, distribute or otherwise process such information.
Information received from third parties
We may also obtain information from third-parties, such as:
-
- Our authorized resellers, distributors and partners if there is lawful basis to do so. For example, if you purchase access to the Services through one of these partners.
- Other third parties, such as email campaigns, marketing partners and publicly available sources. We may use this information to enhance the information that we already maintain about you and to improve the accuracy of our records, in addition to other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
- Social media and authentication services. We may have access to certain information from a third-party social media or authentication service if you log into our Services through the service or otherwise provide us with access to information from the service.

Information collected automatically

As is true with most websites and services delivered over the Internet, we gather certain information and store it in log files when you interact with our Websites and SaaS Products. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses as well as browser type, internet service provider, URLs of referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, information you search for, locale and language preferences, identification numbers associated with your Devices, your mobile carrier, and system configuration information. In the case of our SaaS Product, the URLs you accessed (and therefore included in our log files) include usernames as well as elements of Content as necessary for the SaaS Product to perform the requested operations. Occasionally, we connect Personal Data to information gathered in our log files as necessary to improve our Services for individual customers. In such a case, we would treat the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
- Analytics information from Website and SaaS Products
We collect analytics information when you use our Websites and SaaS Products to help us improve our products and services. In the SaaS Products, this analytics information consists of the feature and function of our Service being used, the associated license identifier (SEN) and domain name, the username and IP address of the individual who is using the feature or function (which will include Personal Data if the Personal Data was incorporated into the username), the sizes and original filenames of attachments, and additional information required to detail the operation of the function and which parts of our Services are being affected.
- Analytics information Derived from Content
Analytics information also consists of data we collect as a result of running queries against Content across our user base for the purposes of generating Usage Data.
Though we may happen upon sensitive or Personal Data as we compile Usage Data from Content across user instances, this is a byproduct of our efforts to understand broader patterns and trends. It is not a concerted effort by us to examine the Content of any particular customer.
- Google Analytics
Our Services use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland). The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This facilitates the assignment of data, sessions and interactions across several devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus the analysis of a user’s activities across devices.
- Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Enabling these cookies is not strictly necessary for the website to work but it will provide you with a better browsing experience. You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do that, some features of this site may not work as intended.
Our Services and Websites use the following types of cookies:
-
- Necessary cookies are required to enable the basic features of this site, such as providing secure log-in or adjusting your consent preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable data.
- Functional cookies help perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the website on social media platforms, collecting feedback, and other third-party features.
- Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies help provide information on metrics such as the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc.
- Performance cookies are used to understand and analyze the key performance indexes of the website which helps in delivering a better user experience for the visitors.

You can also change cookies settings in our Services anytime via your account settings, if applicable.
We may use other third-parties cookies installed in our Services.

It gathers IP information from visitors of our Websites and displays the information only within the Websights dashboard in the Zoominfo platform. The IPs Websights gathers are solely known company IPs and are associated only at a company level. It also does not collect IPs of individuals, such as consumers or specific data subjects.

You can also change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies.
- Other tracking technologies
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, called pixel tags (or web beacons or clear gifs). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier permitting us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites and track the online movements of Website users. This helps us better manage the Website by informing us what content is effective and improve the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixels are embedded on Website pages. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Where Downloadable products are used, responsibility of securing access to the data you store in the Downloadable products rests with you and not Platforce.
