1. Scope
Salesloft, Inc and its affiliate companies (“Salesloft,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are committed to safeguarding the privacy of registered users of the Salesloft platform. This Notice informs you how Salesloft collects, uses, secures and shares your personal information when you use our platform and related services as a customer (“Services”).
If you do not feel comfortable with any part of this Notice, please immediately cease using our Service.
2. Personal Information We Collect
Personal information is generally any information that identifies you or makes you identifiable, such as your name, IP address or user preferences. We may collect from you, store and use the following personal information in relation to the Services:
- Information You Voluntarily Provide. To register to use the Services or subscribe to our website services and/or email notifications, you or your account administrator for the Services must provide us with your first and last names and email address. In order to provide our Services, we are required to collect information about your transactions with us in relation to the Services, including information relating to any purchases you make of our goods or services. We may collect: first and last name, title, job position, employer, contact information (company, email, phone, physical business address), ID data, professional life data, personal life data. You may also provide additional information in the setup and ongoing use of the Services. We collect any information that you provide to us when you contact us for customer service, technical support, or for any other purposes.
- Information We Automatically Collect.
- Log Data. When you use the Service, we automatically record information from your device, its software, and your activity using the Services (“Log Data”). This may include the device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, the web page visited before you came to our website, information you search for on our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, system configuration information, metadata concerning your files, and other interactions with the Services. We may use your IP address to identify the general geographic area from which you are accessing the Services. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. If you use our Services to make calls or facilitate email engagement we may collect log information and data associated with your use of such features.
- Location Data. We may collect geolocation and proximity of your device if location services are enabled on your device (e.g., GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access our website) and may use that information to customize the interactions with location-based information and features. If you access our website through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this.
- Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. We use cookies in the Services. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. We may send one or more cookies which may be stored by your browser on your computer. The information we obtain from cookies is part of the personal information we collect. Our advertisers and service providers may also send you cookies. For more information about cookies and other tracking technologies we use, please see our Cookie Policy.
If you choose to limit our collection or use of your personal information or choose not to provide certain personal information, some or all of our Services and programs may not be available to you, and we may not be able to respond to your requests.
3. Why We Collect Your Personal Information
Personal information may be used for the following purposes:
- To provide our Services to you. We process your personal information to provide you with the Services. We share this information with third parties upon your request, or our service providers or partners to the extent necessary to provide you with the Services. For instance, you or your employer may elect to connect a third-party email account to your Salesloft account. This allows you to compose and send email messages within the Services. We then import into the Services replies to such messages, and we employ a software technology called web beacons in our HTML-based emails to let you know which emails have been opened by a recipient. You also have the option to import and update events on your linked calendar. To the extent that you elect to connect the Services with a Gmail account, our use of personal information will be further limited as indicated in the “Additional Limits on Use of Your Google User Data” section of this Privacy Notice. Please note that we cannot provide you with Services without processing your personal information. [Performance of Contract, Legitimate Interest]
- To administer and improve the Service’s usability, and provide you with important Services updates. When you sign up for our Service, we will send administrative or account-related information to you to keep you updated about our Service, inform you of relevant security issues or updates, or provide other transaction-related information. We process your contact information to send you such communications. Service-related communications are not promotional in nature. You are not able to unsubscribe from such communications, otherwise you may miss important developments relating to your account or the Services that could affect your use of the Services. [Performance of Contract, Legitimate Interest]
- To personalize your experience on the Services. We process your personal information to improve your browsing experience via modification and replacement of text, images, videos, and links to increase relevance to the visitor. By personalizing the Service, you get to enjoy our Services even more because we keep track of your preferences (e.g., your language selection, your time zone, etc.).

We process your personal information to actively monitor, investigate, prevent and mitigate any alleged, suspected or actual prohibited use or illicit or illegal activities on our Service; investigate, prevent, or mitigate violations of our terms, agreements or policies; enforce our agreements with third parties and partners; and, as applicable, collect fees based on your use of our Services. [Performance of Contract, Legitimate Interest, Compliance with Legal Obligations]
- To ensure the security of the Services. We are committed to ensuring our customers and your safety and continued enjoyment of our Services. To do so, we process your personal information to: combat spam, malware, malicious activities or security risks; improve and enforce our security measures; and monitor and verify your identity so that unauthorized users do not access your account with us. [Performance of Contract, Legitimate Interest, Compliance with Legal Obligations]
- To provide you with information about other services. We process your personal information to send you marketing and other communications relating to the Services, the sales industry, and our business or the businesses of carefully selected third parties which we think may be of interest to you by post, email, social media or similar technology.

Also, we collect information about the way you use and interact with our Services for research and development purposes. Research and development help us update and improve our Services and build new services and customized features. We may also provide other companies with statistical, de-identified information about our users. The information we provide to other companies will not identify any individual user. [Performance of Contract, Legitimate Interest, Consent]
If you choose to limit our collection or use of your personal information, some or all of our Services may not be available to you and we may not be able to respond to certain of your requests.
If, in the future, we use your personal information in a way that is not described in this Privacy Notice, we will provide notice. Notice may be provided in accordance with Section 13 (Updates).
4. Sharing Personal Information
We may share personal information about you as described below:
- Service Providers, Business Partners and Others. We use trusted third-party companies to help us provide, analyze and improve the Services, including but not limited to providing data center hosting services, database hosting services, dialer infrastructure services, email sync services, and to enable our third-party processors to provide sales and marketing operations services. These third parties may have access to your personal information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf.
- Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests; Protection of Our Rights. We may disclose files stored in your Salesloft account and other information about you to third parties when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with a law, regulation or legal requests including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (ii) protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury; (iii) prevent fraud or abuse of Salesloft or its users, or (iv) protect Salesloft’s property rights.
- Business Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any change in control, or if you become subject to a different Notice.
- Affiliates. We may share your personal information with our affiliates so that they can help provide or support our websites or services, service your account, or troubleshoot concerns or support other legitimate business operations.
5. Third Party Services
Our Services may contain links to other websites and third-party products, which you may elect to use at your sole discretion. We are not responsible for what the third parties and their services do with your personal information or the information that you choose to share with them. Your use of these third-party services will be subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies.
You may ask us to collect information about you or about others from organizations. For example, you can ask us to import your contacts by giving us access to your third-party services (for example, your email account) or you can share your social networking information with us if you give us access via a social network connection service.
Additional Limits on Use of Your Google User Data
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Notice, if you provide the Salesloft platform access to the following types of your Google user data, Gmail (read, write, modify, and control), the platform’s use of such data will be subject to these additional restrictions:
- The platform will only use access to read, write, modify, or control Gmail message bodies (including attachments), metadata, headers, and settings to provide a solution that allows your users of the platform to compose, send, read, and process emails and will not transfer this Gmail data to others unless doing so is necessary to provide, support and improve these features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- The platform will not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements.
- The platform will not allow humans to read the data, unless: (1) we have your affirmative agreement to view specific messages, files, or other data; (2) doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse; (3) it is necessary to comply with applicable law; or (4) the data is aggregated and used for the platform’s internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy and other jurisdictional legal requirements.
- The platform’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We may amend this section from time to time to comply with the “Google API Services User Data Policy,” to the extent it relates to our use of such Gmail data. For the avoidance of doubt, the additional restrictions contained in this section shall only apply to Gmail data received through the Google OAuth API, to the extent such use is applicable to you.
6. Security of Personal Information

We have procedures in place to ensure we can react quickly to any reasonably foreseeable issue. If you ever find a security issue, or simply have a security related concern, please reach out directly to us by contacting Salesloft Support or sending an email to support@salesloft.com.
7. International Transfers of Personal Information
If you access or use our Services or provide your information to us, your personal information may be transferred to, processed, and maintained on servers or databases located outside of the country or jurisdiction where you are located. Such countries or jurisdictions may have data protection laws that are less protective than the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside. If you do not want your information transferred to or processed or maintained outside of the country or jurisdiction where you are located, you should not use our Services.

If you are a citizen of, or reside in, the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland, we comply with applicable laws to provide an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of your Personal Data to third counties.

Consistent with these requirements, we will look to delete your information promptly upon request. Please note, however, that there might be latency in deleting information from our servers and backed-up versions might exist for a period after deletion.
