At SellerSail, we prioritize the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information of individuals who access our website and utilize our services (collectively referred to as the “Services”). By accessing our website or using our Services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
This Policy is an integral part of the SellerSail Terms & Conditions and includes our Data Protection Addendum. Terms that are capitalized but not defined within this Policy will have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms & Conditions.
We are committed to maintaining your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly.
1. Information We Gather
1.1 Personal Information
When you use our Services, we may request certain identifiable information that helps us contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). This may include your name, address, email, location, payment details, government-issued identification, and other relevant contact information. You may share Personal Information when creating an account, using the Services, reaching out for customer support, subscribing to marketing communications, or engaging with us in other ways. Please be aware that if you decide not to provide specific Personal Information or deny certain permissions, we may be unable to offer some features of the Services.
1.2 Usage Information
We gather data on your interactions with our Services, which can encompass device type, IP address, operating system, browser type, referral website addresses, your activity on our site, device ID, access times and dates, location, transaction details, and other system activities. This information may be collected automatically through tools like cookies, web beacons, pixels, server logs, and mobile identifiers. Often, the data collected via cookies is utilized in a non-identifiable way, without linking it to Personal Information. For instance, we may analyze this data to gain insights into website traffic and enhance your experience. In some instances, we may connect this information with Personal Information to better serve you or improve your experience on our site. While we monitor usage of our Services, we do not track users across external websites and do not respond to “do not track” signals or similar requests.

While you engage with our Services, we may also employ third-party services, such as Google, Facebook, Intercom, and others, that utilize cookies to gather information about you. These third parties might also use cookies, web beacons, or other technologies to collect data during your usage of the Services. SellerSail does not manage any cookies or data collection tools placed by third parties on our site, and this Policy does not extend to such tools. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services.

2.3 Links to External Websites and Services
The Services may include links to other websites. We are not liable for the practices of any websites or services that are linked to or from our Services, nor for any information or content found on those sites. Please note that once you navigate away from our Services to another website, this Policy no longer applies. Your interactions and browsing on any external site, including those linked within our Services, are governed by that site's specific rules and policies. We encourage you to review those rules and policies before proceeding. If you wish to exercise any rights regarding your Personal Information, please reach out directly to the relevant third party.
3. How We Safeguard Your Information
We implement various measures to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include firewalls, password protection, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, encryption, and other security protocols. Your Personal Information will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. In compliance with applicable laws, we may keep certain Personal Information for up to seven years after it has been collected. Additionally, we may retain your Personal Information as needed to resolve disputes or enforce our rights.
If we rely on your consent to process your Personal Information, you have the right to decline or withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the legality of the processing that occurred before the withdrawal. In certain situations, you may request the deletion of your Personal Information. However, please note that withdrawing consent or requesting deletion may impact our ability to provide certain features of the Services.
Access to your Personal Information is restricted to our employees, agents, contractors, and third parties who need it for business purposes. These individuals will process your information only under our instructions and are bound by confidentiality obligations. We have established protocols to address any suspected breaches of Personal Information and will notify you and any relevant regulatory authority as required by law.
While we strive to maintain robust security measures, it is important to recognize that no security system is completely foolproof, and no data transmission method can be entirely secure from interception or misuse. To ensure the confidentiality of your account information, you must keep your password private and not share it with anyone else. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. If you suspect any misuse of your password, please contact us immediately.
