Updated Jan 31, 2024

1. Introduction

This is Hapstack's Privacy Policy. It tells you how we collect, use, and share information about you, and what rights you have over that information. When we say "Hapstack," we mean Hapstack LLC and its subsidiaries, and when we say "you," we mean the person using our website, web application, Browser Extension, emails, or any other place where we provide this Privacy Policy (collectively referred to as the "Service" or "Product").

This Privacy Policy applies if you use our website, web application, or any other place where we provide this policy.

By using the Service or Product, you agree to our data practices and any other policies we make available to you. If you don't agree, please let us know in writing, close your Hapstack Account, delete any cookies on your devices, and stop using the Service and Product. In some cases, the business customer we provide services for may need to confirm your decision before we can process your request fully.

If you have any questions or want to exercise your rights and choices, please contact us at privacy@hapstack.com or as explained in the "Contact Us" section. If you're a resident of Nevada or California, please read the additional disclosures at the end of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information that we collect

A. Information collected through the Service

We gather information when you use or interact with our Service. For instance, we collect data when you browse our Website, use our Web Application or Browser Extension, read our emails, participate in our affiliate referral program, apply for a job, contact us, or ask us a question. We collect both information that you actively provide to us and information that is automatically collected through tracking technologies (explained below).

The categories of information you provide us through our Service include:

  • Contact Information: This includes your first and last name, and email address.
  • Company Information: This includes your company name, size, address, and job title.
  • Content: This covers the content within any messages you send us, such as when you contact sales or ask a question.
  • Job Application Information: This includes your employment and education history, transcripts, writing samples, and references, as necessary to consider your job application for open positions.
  • Referral Information: This includes the details you provide about any potential referrals as part of our affiliate referral program, such as their name, email address, and phone number. By providing us with this information, you agree that you have all the necessary rights and permissions to do so.

You can choose to provide other information to us voluntarily that we don't request. In such cases, you are solely responsible for the information you provide.

The categories of information we automatically collect through our Service include:

  • Service Use Data, including information about how much time you spend on particular pages you visit, the features you use, your preferences or selections, the services you view, the SaaS products you use, the time of day your browse, and your referring and exiting pages
  • Device Data, including information about the type of device or browser you use, your device's operating software, your internet service provider, your device's regional and language settings, and device identifiers such as IP address
  • Location Data, including imprecise location information (such as location derived from an IP address or information that indicates a city or postal code level)

The types of tracking technologies we use to automatically collect information include:

  • Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate websites and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, providing authentication, and supporting security features. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings.
  • Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of data elements from your device's browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, to create a "fingerprint" of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.

You may choose to limit our collection of information through tracking technologies by adjusting your browser or device settings. However, please note that doing so may impact or restrict certain features available to you.

Also, if you direct us to connect your Hapstack Account to a third-party integration, we will process that request accordingly.
  7. With Notice to You and Your Consent: We may otherwise use your information after providing notice to you and obtaining your consent.

However, there are cases where we may use information that cannot be linked back to you (such as aggregated or de-identified information) for any purpose, as long as it is not prohibited by applicable laws or contractual obligations.

4. Sharing information

Hapstack shares information collected from users with various third party providers that allow us to operate our Service.

Information may also be shared in the event of a merger or acquisition, compelled disclosure, or with notice and consent from the user.

Hapstack may also share information that does not identify individual users for any purpose, except as prohibited by law or contractual obligation. Users have rights and choices regarding how their information is shared, which can be found in the "Your Rights and Choices" section of this policy.

If you choose to engage with these integrations, Hapstack may receive information from the other service that you have authorized to share with us. However, please note that the other service may independently collect information about you through the integration.

When you interact with third parties through our Service or leave our Service, those parties may collect and store information about you according to their own policies and practices, including whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations, and we have implemented safeguards to ensure that your information is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about the transfer of your information, please contact us using the contact information provided in the "Contact us" section of this policy.

8. Your rights and choices

Accessing your Hapstack Account. Your Hapstack Account is governed by our agreements with the applicable business customer. You can access, update, or delete certain information within your account through the Platform, but the business customer will make the ultimate decision about how your information is processed. The business customer administrator manages your account and can grant or restrict your access to the Product, as well as access information about you on the Product. Please note that if you delete information through your Hapstack Account, we will retain and use information about you as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Tracking technology choices

Cookies and pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to decline or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to "Do Not Track" signals. For more information on "Do Not Track," visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Service and Product may not function correctly.

If you opt out using any of these methods, the opt out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any other entities' statements regarding their opt out options or programs.

Communications

You can opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by following the instructions as provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link or changing your email preferences in the Hapstack Web Application. Please note that you cannot opt-out of non-promotional emails, such as those about your Hapstack Account, transactions, servicing, or our ongoing business relations.

Please note that your opt out is limited to the email address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions.

Unlinking platforms

If you have linked your Hapstack Account with certain other services, such as Slack or Google Workspace, you may unlink your accounts at any time by visiting your Hapstack Account settings. Please note that unlinking your accounts will not affect any information previously shared through the linking. Hapstack is not responsible for the data practices of any other entities, and we recommend that you carefully review their privacy policies and terms of use.

10. Additional disclosures for Nevada residents

Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us at privacy@hapstack.com.
