FROCKET PRIVACY NOTICE


Last Updated: August 29, 2023

ABOUT US

Frocket, LLC. (together with its subsidiaries, "Frocket", "us" or "we") is a leading provider of email and customer relationship management services to businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. We refer to the products and services that are ordered by our customers ("Customers") and provided by or on behalf of us to our Customers pursuant to the Terms of Service here, as the "Services."

 

Our Services help our Customers provide timely and relevant marketing and communications on a cross-media basis. Our Customers can upload contact lists and use our platform to reach their own customers and others through email and other channels. Personal information and other data submitted by or on behalf of a Customer in connection with the Services, including contact lists (which may include email addresses and other information for a Customer's contacts) and content (including the content of a Customer's campaigns) (collectively, "Customer Data"), belongs to and is controlled by our Customers. Frocket acts as a service provider or processor to its Customers, including when we offer to Customers various Services through which our Customers (or their affiliates): (i) create their own applications running on our platforms; (ii) sell or offer their own products and services; (iii) send electronic communications to their contacts through our Services; or (iv) otherwise collect, use, share or process personal information via our Services.

 

When acting in this capacity, we process Customer Data on behalf of our Customer, and we have no direct relationship with the end-users who use our Customers' services or products or visit our Customers' websites. Frocket does not process Customer Data except as provided in our Terms of Service with our Customers, available here.  

 

The Customer Data that we handle on behalf of our Customers is not collected on our websites, but rather through our Customers' independent use of our platform.  For example, our Customers may use our platform to encourage their contacts to sign up for their email lists. Emails sent from the Frocket platform include single pixel gifs, also known as web beacons, which contain unique identifiers that enable us and Customers to recognize when their contacts have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each contact's email address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for an email campaign. We use this data at our Customers' direction to create reports for our Customers about how an email campaign performed and what actions their contacts took and to analyze, customize and enhance our Customers' communications and strategies.  For more information about how we process Customer Data, please review our Customer Contact Data Notice.

 

We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our Customers, including with respect to the personal information they collect or upload to our Services.  If you are an end user of one of our Customers whose personal information we process and you are seeking to exercise your data rights, you should contact our Customer directly.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where such disclosure requires your permission, we will only do so with your consent.

All users authorized by an organization to have access to an account can view personal information stored in the account. A primary account holder can view personal information saved in sub-accounts to which they have authorized access. We share information about authorized users only for legitimate purposes consistent with this privacy notice, including servicing the account and marketing Services to you.

 

SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you interact with our websites, we may use, or authorize third-party partners and service providers to use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to improve your experience with us. The Tracking Technologies described in our Cookie Notice can collect personal information about you that can be used by us and our authorized third-party partners and service providers.  Our sharing of your personal information in this way may constitute "selling", "sharing", or using for "targeted advertising" under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. The term "sale" is broadly defined by the CCPA and includes sharing personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration.

To the extent this is considered "selling" or "sharing", in the preceding 12 months, we have sold or shared the following categories of personal information for the purpose of showing you ads about Frocket's services:

 

  • Identifiers
  • Internet or other similar network activity

 

Because our only potential "sale" or "share" of your personal information occurs as a result of the use of cookies, if you'd like to opt out of the sale of your personal information, please click Cookie Settings to update your cookie preferences.  For more information, please refer to our Cookie Notice.


SECURITY

The transmission of information via the internet, email or Texts is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted through the Services or over email; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft and unauthorized use, access or modification.

When we collect financial account information, such as credit card numbers, we protect its transmission through the use of encryption such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
