2. Privacy for Clients

This section addresses the Personal Information we gather and process from a Client or prospective Client through the Service provision.

A. Information We Collect

The scope of Personal Information we collect is influenced by your interactions with Gab Advertising, LLC, your account settings, the products and features you utilize, your location, and prevailing law. The collected Personal Information generally falls into the following categories:

(i) Information you provide to us: You or your organization may submit certain Personal Information when you register for a Gab Advertising, LLC account, engage with our customer service team, email us, integrate our Service with another website or service (e.g., connecting your e-commerce account with Gab Advertising, LLC), or otherwise communicate with us.

(ii) Information we collect automatically: When utilizing the Service, we may automatically collect or receive certain information about your Service use (collectively, “Service Usage Data”).

For further details, please review the subsequent section and our Privacy Policy.

Service Usage Data may encompass:

  • Device information: Information regarding the device and applications you employ to access the Service, including IP address, operating system, browser ID, and other system and connection information.
  • Log data: Our servers maintain log files that document data each time a device accesses those servers and the nature of each access, including originating IP addresses and activities within the Service (such as date/time stamps associated with your usage, viewed pages and files, searches, and other actions taken, e.g., features used); device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called ‘crash dumps’)), and hardware settings. We might also access metadata and other data associated with files you upload into our Service.

(iii) Information we collect from other sources: Periodically, we might acquire information about you from third-party sources, such as public databases, social media platforms, third-party data providers, and our joint marketing partners.

Examples of information we receive from other sources include demographic data (such as age and gender), device information (such as IP addresses), and location (such as city and state). We utilize this information, alone or in combination with other Personal Information we collect, to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing and content to you and to develop and provide you with more relevant products, features, and services.

B. Use of Personal Information

We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive through the Service (alone or in combination with other data we source) for the purposes and on the legal bases identified below:

  • To bill and collect money owed to us by you to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in accordance with our legitimate interests to operate and administer our Service. This includes sending you emails, invoices, receipts, notices of delinquency, and alerting you if we need a different credit card number. We use third parties for secure credit card transaction processing, and those third parties collect billing information to process your orders and credit card payments. To learn more about the steps we take to safeguard that data, see the “Our Security” section of this privacy policy.
  • To send you system alert messages in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering the Service and providing certain features. For example, we may inform you about temporary or permanent changes to our Service, such as planned outages, or send you account, security or compliance notifications, such as new features, version updates, releases, abuse warnings, and changes to this privacy policy.
  • To communicate with you about your account and provide customer support to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and supporting our Service. For example, if you use our Mobile Apps, we may ask you if you want to receive push notifications about activity in your account. If you have opted in to these push notifications and no longer want to receive them, you may turn them off through your operating system.
  • To enforce compliance with our Standard Terms of Use and applicable law, and to protect the rights and safety of our Clients in reliance on our legitimate interest to protect against misuse or abuse of our Service and to pursue remedies available. This may include developing tools and algorithms that help us prevent violations. For example, sometimes we review the content our Clients send or display to ensure it complies with our Standard Terms of Use. To improve that process, we have software that helps us find content that may violate our Standard Terms of Use. We may or our third-party service provider may also review content that our Clients send or display. This benefits all Clients who comply with our Standard Terms of Use because it reduces abuse and helps us maintain a reliable platform. Please do not use Gab Advertising, LLC to send or display confidential information.
  • To meet legal requirements, including complying with court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms.
  • To provide information to representatives and advisors, including attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements in reliance on our legitimate interests.
  • To prosecute and defend a court, arbitration, or similar legal proceeding.
  • To respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • To provide, support and improve the Service to perform our contract with you for the use of the Service or where we have not entered into a contract with you, in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering and improving the Service and providing certain features. For example, this may include sharing your information with third parties in order to provide and support our Service or to make certain features of the Service available to you. When we share your Personal Information with third parties, we take steps to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with our obligations under applicable privacy laws. For further information about how we share your information, refer to Section 5 below.
  • To provide suggestions to you and to provide tailored features within our Service that optimize and personalize your experience in reliance on our legitimate interests in administering the Service and providing certain features. This includes adding features that compare Clients’ email campaigns, using data to suggest other publishers your Contacts may be interested in, or using data to recommend products or services that you may be interested in or that may be relevant to you or your Contacts. Some of these suggestions are generated through analysis of the data used in our data analytics projects, as described below.
  • To perform data analytics projects in reliance on our legitimate business interests in improving and enhancing our products and services for our Clients. Our data analytics projects use data from Gab Advertising, LLC accounts, including Personal Information of Contacts, to provide and improve the Service. We use information like your sending habits and your Contacts’ purchase history, so we can make more informed predictions, decisions, and products for our Clients. For example, we use data from Gab Advertising, LLC accounts to enable product recommendation, audience segmentation, and predicted demographics features for our Clients. If you or your Contact prefers not to have their data used for this purpose, you can alter the settings on your account (as described here) to opt out of data analytics projects, or your Contact can opt out of data analytics projects at any time by emailing us at personaldatarequests@Gab Advertising, LLC.com. As always, we take the privacy of Personal Information seriously, and will continue to implement appropriate safeguards to protect this Personal Information from misuse or unauthorized disclosure.
  • To personalize the Service, content and advertisements we serve to you in reliance on our legitimate interests in supporting our marketing activities and providing certain features within the Service. We may use your Personal Information to serve you specifically, such as to deliver a product or service according to your preferences or restrictions, to provide more personalized features or for advertising or targeting purposes in accordance with this privacy policy.

C. Third-Party Integrations

We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive through the Service, as a processor and as otherwise stated in this privacy policy, to enable your use of the integrations and plugins you choose to connect to your Gab Advertising, LLC account. For instance, if you choose to connect a Google integration to your Gab Advertising, LLC account, we’ll ask you to grant us permission to view and/or download, as applicable, your Google Sheets, Google Contacts, Google Analytics and Google Drive. This allows us to configure your Google integration(s) in accordance with your preferences. For example, if you wanted to use the Google Contacts integration to share the templates in your Gab Advertising, LLC account with contacts in your Google address book, we would need to access your Google Contacts to share your templates.

D. Client Distribution Lists

In order to send an email campaign or use certain features in your account, you need to provide a Distribution List that provides us information about your Contacts, such as their names and email addresses. We use and process this information to provide the Service in accordance with our contract with you or your organization and this privacy policy.

A Distribution List can be created in a number of ways, including by importing Contacts, such as through a CSV or directly from your email client. We do not, under any circumstances, sell your Distribution Lists. If someone on your Distribution List complains or contacts us, we might then contact that person.

If we detect abusive or illegal behavior related to your Distribution List, we may share your Distribution List or portions of it with affected ISPs or anti-spam organizations to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

If a Contact chooses to use the Forward to a Friend (FTF) link in an email campaign a Client sends, it will allow the Contact to share the Client’s email content with individuals not on the Client’s Distribution List. When a Contact forwards an email to a friend, we do not store the Contact’s email address or their friend’s email address, and no one is added to any Distribution List as a result of the FTF link. The Client who created the email campaign only sees an aggregate number of times their email campaign was forwarded by a Contact and does not have access to the email addresses used to share or receive that forwarded content.

E. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the country in which you reside, you may have the following data protection rights:

  • To access; correct; update; port; delete; restrict; or object to our processing of your Personal Information.
  • You can manage your individual account and profile settings within the dashboard provided through the Gab Advertising, LLC platform, or you may contact us directly by emailing us at sales@gabadv.com . Note, if any of your Contacts wish to exercise any of these rights, they should contact you directly, or contact us as described in the “Privacy for Contacts” section below. Gab Advertising, LLC takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and up to date.
  • The right to complain to a data protection authority about the collection and use of Personal Information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA and UK are available here and Switzerland are available here.
  • Similarly, if Personal Information is collected or processed on the basis of consent, the data subject can withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. If you receive these requests from Contacts, you can segment your lists within the Gab Advertising, LLC platform to ensure that you only market to Contacts who have not opted out of receiving such marketing.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection law. We may ask you to verify your identity in order to help us respond efficiently to your request. If we receive a request from one of your Contacts, we will either direct the Contact to reach out to you, or, if appropriate, we may respond directly to their request.

3. Privacy for Contacts

This section applies to the information we process about our Clients’ Contacts as a data controller. Our Service is intended for use by our Clients. As a result, for much of the Personal Information we collect and process about Contacts through the Service, we act as a processor on behalf of our Clients. Gab Advertising, LLC is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of our Clients, which may differ from those set forth in this privacy policy. Please check with individual Clients about the policies they have in place. For purposes of this section, “you” and “your” refer to Contacts.

A. Information We Collect

The Personal Information that we may collect or receive about you broadly falls into the following categories:

(i) Information we receive about Contacts from our Clients: A Client may provide Personal Information about you to us through the Service. When a Client uploads their Distribution List or integrates the Service with another website or service (for example, when a Client chooses to connect their e-commerce account with Gab Advertising, LLC), or when you sign up for a Client’s Distribution List on a Gab Advertising, LLC or other signup form, the Client may provide us with certain contact information or other Personal Information about you such as your name, email address, address, or telephone number. You may have the opportunity to update some of this information by electing to update or manage your preferences via an email you receive from a Client.

(ii) Information we collect automatically: When you interact with an email campaign that you receive from a Client, we may collect information about your device and interaction with an email. We use pixels or tracking technologies to collect some of this information. Device information: We may collect information about the device and applications you use to access emails sent through our Service, such as your IP address, your operating system, your browser ID, and other information about your system and connection.

  • Usage data: It is important for us to ensure the security and reliability of the Service we provide. Therefore, we also collect usage data about your interactions with campaigns (and/or emails) sent through the Service, which may include dates and times you access campaigns (and/or emails) and your browsing activities (such as which emails are opened). This information also allows us to ensure compliance with our Standard Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy, to monitor and prevent service abuse, and to ensure we attain certain usage standards and metrics in relation to our Service. We also collect information regarding the performance of the Service, including metrics related to the deliverability of emails and other electronic communications that our Clients send through the Service. This information allows us to improve the content and operation of the Service and facilitate research and perform analysis into the use and performance of the Service.

(iii) Information we collect from other sources: From time to time, we may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as social media platforms, and third-party data providers.

B. Use of Personal Information

We may use the Personal Information we collect or receive about you in reliance on our (and where applicable, our Clients’) legitimate interests for the following purposes:

  • To enforce compliance with our Standard Terms of Use and applicable law. This may include utilizing usage data and developing tools and algorithms that help us prevent violations.
  • To protect the rights and safety of Clients, third parties, or Gab Advertising, LLC. For example, sometimes we review the content of our Clients’ email campaigns to make sure they comply with our Standard Terms of Use. To improve that process, we have software that helps us find email campaigns that may violate our Standard Terms of Use. We, or our third-party service provider, may review those particular email campaigns, which may include your contact information. This reduces the amount of spam being sent through our servers and helps us maintain high deliverability.
  • To meet legal requirements, including complying with court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms.
  • To provide information to representatives and advisors, including attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements.
  • To prosecute and defend a court, arbitration, or similar legal proceeding.
  • To respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • To provide, support and improve the Service. For example, this may include sharing your information with third parties in order to provide and support our Service or to make certain features of the Service available to our Clients. When we share Personal Information with third parties, we take steps to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with applicable privacy laws. For further information about how we share information, refer to Section 5 below.
  • To perform data analytics projects. Our data analytics projects use data from Gab Advertising, LLC accounts, including your Personal Information, to provide and improve the Service. We use information, like your purchase history, provided to us by Clients, so we can make more informed predictions, decisions, and products for our Clients. For example, we use data from Gab Advertising, LLC accounts to enable product recommendation, audience segmentation, and predicted demographics features for our Clients. If you prefer your data not to be used in this manner, you can opt out of data analytics projects at any time by completing this form or emailing us at personaldatarequests@Gab Advertising, LLC.com.
  • To carry out other business purposes. To carry out other legitimate business purposes, as well as other lawful purposes about which we will notify you.

C. Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners may use various technologies to automatically collect and store certain device and usage information (as discussed above) when you interact with a Client’s email campaign, and this may include using pixels. For example, we use web beacons in the emails we send on behalf of our Clients. When you receive and engage with a Client’s campaign, web beacons track certain behavior such as whether the email sent through the Gab Advertising, LLC platform was delivered and opened and whether links within the email were clicked. Technologies like this allow us to collect information such as your IP address, browser, email client type, and other similar data as further described above. We use this information to measure the performance of our Clients’ email campaigns, and to provide analytics information and enhance the effectiveness of our Service, and for the other purposes described above.

D. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the country in which you reside, you may have the following data protection rights:

  • To access; correct; update; port; delete; restrict or object to our processing of your Personal Information.
  • For more information about how you can exercise these rights, please see our Opt Out Request form. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA are available here.

As described above, for much of the Personal Information we collect and process about Contacts through the Service, we act as a processor on behalf of our clients. In such cases, if you are a Contact and want to exercise any data protection rights that may be available to you under applicable law or have questions or concerns about how your Personal Information is handled by Gab Advertising, LLC as a processor on behalf of our individual Clients, you should contact the relevant Client that is using the Gab Advertising, LLC Service, and refer to their separate privacy policies.

If you no longer want to be contacted by one of our Clients through our Service, please unsubscribe directly from that Client’s newsletter or contact the Client directly to update or delete your data. If you contact us directly, we may either forward your request to the relevant Client or provide you with the identity of the Client to enable you to contact them directly.

We will notify you of the change either by sending you an email or posting a notice on our Gab Advertising, LLC Site.

(v) Any other person with your consent.

B. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information (EEA and UK Persons Only)

If you are located in the EEA or UK, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect and use Personal Information from you where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data-protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests are described in more detail in this privacy policy in the sections above titled “Use of Personal Information”, but they typically include improving, maintaining, providing, and enhancing our technology, products, and services; ensuring the security of the Service and our Gab Advertising, LLC Sites; and supporting our marketing activities.

If you are a Client, we may need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you. In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Information from you. If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or not, as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Information.

Where required by law, we will collect Personal Information only where we have your consent to do so.

If you have questions or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “Questions and Concerns” section below.

C. Your Choices and Opt-Outs

Clients and Visitors who have opted in to our marketing emails can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our marketing messages.

Also, all opt-out requests can be made by emailing us using the contact details provided in the “Questions and Concerns” section below. Please note that some communications (such as service messages, account notifications, billing information) are considered transactional and necessary for account management, and Clients cannot opt out of these messages unless you cancel your Gab Advertising, LLC account.

D. Our Security

We take appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information. If you have any questions about the security of your Personal Information, you may contact us at sales@gabadv.com. Gab Advertising, LLC accounts require a username and password to log in. Clients must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party. Because the information in a Client’s Gab Advertising, LLC account is private, account passwords are hashed, which means we cannot see a Client’s password. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only provide Clients with instructions on how to reset them.

Our servers and offices are located in the United States, so your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States. While the data protection, privacy, and other laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, we take many steps to protect your privacy, including offering our Clients a Data Processing Agreement available upon request.

F. Retention of Data

We retain Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we’ll refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:

  • Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data.
  • Whether the data is necessary to provide our Service.
  • Whether our Clients have the ability to access and delete the data within their Gab Advertising, LLC accounts.
  • Whether our Clients would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their Gab Advertising, LLC accounts are closed or terminated. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

G. California Privacy

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. You have the right to request that businesses subject to the CCPA (which may include our Clients with whom you have a relationship) disclose certain information to you about their collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. In addition, you have the right to ask such businesses to delete Personal Information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. If the business sells Personal Information, you have a right to opt-out of that sale. Finally, a business cannot discriminate against you for exercising a CCPA right.

When offering services to its Clients, Gab Advertising, LLC acts as a “service provider” under the CCPA and our receipt and collection of any consumer Personal Information is completed on behalf of our Clients in order for us to provide the Service. Please direct any requests for access or deletion of your Personal Information under the CCPA to the Client with whom you have a direct relationship.

Consistent with California law, if you choose to exercise your applicable CCPA rights, we won’t charge you different prices or provide you a different quality of services. If we ever offer a financial incentive or product enhancement that is contingent upon you providing your Personal Information, we will not do so unless the benefits to you are reasonably related to the value of the Personal Information that you provide to us.

H. Do not Track

Certain state laws require us to indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser. Gab Advertising, LLC adheres to the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and does not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.
