4. WHAT DEVICE AND USAGE DATA DO WE PROCESS?

 

We use common information-gathering tools, such as tools for collecting data,
cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information
that may contain Personal Data as you navigate our websites, our services, or
interact with emails we have sent to you.

4.1 Device and Usage Data

As is true of most websites, we gather certain device information when
individual users visit our websites. This information may include (i)
identifiers, such as user ID, organization ID, username, email address and user
type; (ii) commercial information; and (iii) internet activity information such
as IP address (or proxy server information), device and application information,
identification numbers, location,browser type, Internet service provider or
mobile carrier, user interactions such as the pages and files viewed, website
and webpage interactions including searches and other actions you take,
operating system type and version, system configuration information, date and
time stamps associated with your usage and details of which of our products and
product versions you are using. This information is used for the purposes set
out in section 5 of this Privacy Statement below.

In addition, we gather certain information automatically as part of your use of
our products and services (“Usage Data”).. This information may include
identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as
IP address (or proxy server), mobile device number, device and application
identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider or
mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, website and webpage interactions
including searches and other actions you take, operating system type and
version, system configuration information, date and time stamps associated with
your usage and details of which of our products and product versions you are
using. This information is used for the purposes set out in detail in section 5
of this Privacy Statement below. In addition, we may use aggregated Usage Data
for other internal business purposes, such as to identify additional customer
opportunities and to ensure that we are meeting the demands of our customers and
their users. Please note that this Usage Data is primarily used to identify the
uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to specific individuals), apart
from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security
purposes or as required as part of our provision of the services to our
customers. For more information regarding Tableau specifically, please see here
and here.
 

4.2 Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies on our website and in
email communications

We use technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, and JavaScript, alone or
in conjunction with cookies, to gather information about the use of our websites
and how people interact with our emails.

When you visit our websites, we, or an authorized third party, may place a
cookie on your device that collects information, including Personal Data, about
your online activities over time and across different sites. Cookies allow us to
track use, infer browsing preferences, and improve and customize your browsing
experience.

We use both session-based and persistent cookies on our websites. Session-based
cookies exist only during a single session and disappear from your device when
you close your browser or turn off the device. Persistent cookies remain on your
device after you close your browser or turn your device off. To change your
cookie settings and preferences for one of our websites, click the Cookie
Preferences link in the footer of the page. You can also control the use of
cookies on your device, but choosing to disable cookies on your device may limit
your ability to use some features on our websites and services.

We also use web beacons and pixels on our websites and in emails. For example,
we may place a pixel in a marketing email that notifies us when you click on a
link in the email. We use these technologies to operate and improve our websites
and marketing emails. – please see more details in the “Advertising Cookies” row
in the table below. For instructions on how to unsubscribe from our marketing
emails, please see Section 10.4 below.

The following describes how we use different categories of cookies and similar
technologies and your options for managing the data collection settings of these
technologies:

Type of Cookies Description Managing Settings Required cookies

Required cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. Some examples
include: session cookies needed to transmit the website, authentication cookies,
and security cookies.

If you have chosen to identify yourself to us, we may place on your browser a
cookie that allows us to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the
websites and to process your online transactions and requests.

Because required cookies are essential to operate the websites, there is no
option to opt out of these cookies.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enhance functions, performance, and services on the website.
Some examples include: cookies used to analyze site traffic, cookies used for
market research, and cookies used to display advertising that is not directed to
a particular individual. 

Functional cookies may also be used to improve how our websites function and to
help us provide you with more relevant communications, including marketing
communications. These cookies collect information about how our websites are
used, including which pages are viewed most often.

We may use our own technology or third-party technology to track and analyze
usage information to provide enhanced interactions and more relevant
communications, and to track the performance of our advertisements.

Salesforce may also use HTML5 local storage or Flash cookies for the
above-mentioned purposes. These technologies differ from browser cookies in the
amount and type of data they store, and how they store it.

 

We need your prior consent to use functional cookies. To change your cookie
settings and preferences, including those for functional cookies, click the
Cookie Preferences link in the footer of the page.

To learn how to control functional cookies via your individual browser settings,
click here.

To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, click
here

Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies track activity across websites in order to understand a
viewer’s interests and to direct marketing to them. 

We sometimes use cookies delivered by us or by third parties to show you ads for
our products that we think may interest you on devices you use and to track the
performance of our advertisements. For example, these cookies collect
information such as which browser you used when visiting our websites.

Salesforce also contracts with third-party advertising networks that collect IP
addresses and other information from web beacons on our websites, from emails
and on third-party websites. Advertising networks follow your online activities
over time and across different websites or other online services by collecting
certain data through automated means, including through the use of cookies.
These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use. When
we work with third party advertising networks, we require them to restrict their
data processing to only what is necessary to provide us with the advertising
services we request.

We need your prior consent to use of targeting and advertising cookies. To
change your cookie settings and preferences, including those for targeting and
advertising cookies, click the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of the
page.

 

See Section 4.3, below, to learn more about these and other advertising networks
and your ability to opt out of collection by certain third parties.

 

For more information about Tableau and Slack’s use of cookies specifically,
please see the Tableau Cookie Policy and the Slack Cookie Policy.

4.3 Notices on behavioral advertising and opt-out for website visitors

As described above, we or one of our authorized partners may place or read
cookies on your device when you visit our websites for the purpose of serving
you targeted advertising (also referred to as “online behavioral advertising” or
“interest-based advertising”). To learn more about targeted advertising and
advertising networks, please visit the opt-out pages of the Network Advertising
Initiative, here, and the Digital Advertising Alliance, here. To opt-out of
targeted advertising that is provided to us and to third parties by Salesforce
Audience Studio, click here.

To manage the use of targeting and advertising cookies on this website, click
the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of the page or consult your individual
browser settings for cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage
settings for Flash cookies, click here. Various browsers may also offer their
own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage. 

 

4.4 Opt-Out from the setting of cookies on your individual browser

In addition to using the user preference center, in many cases you may opt-out
from the collection of non-essential device data on your web browser (see
Section 4.1 above) by managing your cookies at the browser or device level. In
addition, if you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising, click here (or,
if located in the European Union or United Kingdom, click here).  To opt-out of
targeted advertising that is provided to us and to third parties by Salesforce
Audience Studio, click here. Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting
cookies and similar technologies used on our websites, you may not be able to
take full advantage of the websites.

While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets
you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked,
these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard adopted by
industry groups, technology companies, or regulators. Therefore, we do not
currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to our
websites. Salesforce takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make
efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and
the implementation of a standard.

4.5 Social Media Features

Our websites may use social media features, such as the “Tweet” button and other
sharing widgets (“Social Media Features”). Social Media Features may allow you
to post information about your activities on our website to outside platforms
and social networks. Social Media Features may also allow you to like or
highlight information we have posted on our website or our branded social media
pages. Social Media Features are either hosted by each respective platform or
hosted directly on our website. To the extent the Social Media Features are
hosted by the platforms themselves, and you click through to these from our
websites, the platform may receive information showing that you have visited our
websites. If you are logged in to your social media account, it is possible that
the respective social media network can link your visit to our websites with
your social media profile.

Salesforce also allows you to log in to certain of our websites using sign-in
services. These services authenticate your identity and provide you the option
to share certain Personal Data from these services with us such as your name and
email address to pre-populate our sign-up form.

Your interactions with Social Media Features are governed by the privacy
policies of the companies providing them.

4.6 Telephony log information

If you use certain features of our services on a mobile device, we may also
collect telephony log information (like phone numbers, time and date of calls,
duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls), device event
information (such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser
language), and location information (through IP address, GPS, and other sensors
that may, for example, provide us with information on nearby devices, Wi-Fi
access points and cell towers).

   Data with professional advisers acting as service providers, processors, or

Anyone using our communities, forums, blogs, or chat rooms on our websites may

For more information on the recipients of your Personal Data, please contact us
by using the information in Section 13 below.


7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

Your Personal Data may be collected, transferred to and stored by us in the
United States and by our affiliates and third-parties disclosed in Section 6,
above, that are based in other countries.

Therefore, your Personal Data may be processed outside your country or
jurisdiction, including in places that are not subject to an adequacy decision
by the European Commission or your local legislature or regulator, and that may
not provide for the same level of data protection. We ensure that the recipient
of your Personal Data offers an adequate level of protection and security, for
instance by entering into the appropriate back-to-back agreements and, if
required, standard contractual clauses or an alternative mechanism for the
transfer of data as approved by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR) or other
applicable regulators or legislators. Where required by applicable law, we will
only share, transfer or store your Personal Data outside of your jurisdiction
with your prior consent.


8. CHILDREN

Our websites and services are not directed at children. We do not knowingly
collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly
collect Personal Data for children between 13-18 unless we have obtained consent
from a parent or guardian or such collection is subject to a separate agreement
with us or the visit by a child is unsolicited or incidental. If you believe we
have mistakenly or unintentionally collected Personal Data of a minor without
appropriate consent please contact us by using the information in Section 13
below and we will take steps to delete their Personal Data from our systems.


9. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the
original purpose of collection (see Section 5 above) or as long as required to
fulfill our legal obligations. We determine the appropriate retention period for
Personal Data on the basis of the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the
Personal Data being processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use
or disclosure of the Personal Data, whether we can achieve the purposes of the
processing through other means, and on the basis of applicable legal
requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Data will be
deleted. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to
delete entirely from our systems, we will implement appropriate measures to
prevent any further use of such data.

For more information on data retention periods, please contact us by using the
information in the Section 13 below.


10. YOUR RIGHTS RELATING TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

10.1 Your rights

You may have certain rights relating to your Personal Data, subject to local
data protection laws. Depending on the applicable laws these rights may include
the right to:

 

 

 * Access your Personal Data held by us;
 * Know more about how we process your Personal Data;
 * Rectify inaccurate Personal Data and, taking into account the purpose of
   processing the Personal Data, ensure it is complete;
 * Erase or delete your Personal Data;
 * Restrict our processing of your Personal Data;
 * Transfer your Personal Data to another controller, to the extent possible;
 * Object to any processing of your Personal Data;

   advertisements on non-Salesforce websites, applications, and services and the
   categories of recipients of such Personal Data;
 * Opt out of the sharing of your Personal Data for delivering advertisements on
   non-Salesforce websites, applications, and services;
 * If you’re under the age of 16, or such other applicable age of consent for

   disclosures of your Personal Data to third parties; 
 * Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including

 * Withdraw your consent at any time (to the extent we base processing on
   consent), without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on such
   consent before its withdrawal; and
 * Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights as described above.

 

Where we process your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes or share it
with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, you can exercise
your right to object at any time to such processing without having to provide
any specific reason for such objection.

Please note that Automated Decision-Making currently does not take place on our
websites or in our services.

 

10.2 How to exercise your rights

To exercise your rights, please contact us by using the information in Section
13 below. Your Personal Data may be processed in responding to these rights. We
try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month unless otherwise
required by law, and will contact you if we need additional information from you
in order to honor your request or verify your identity. Occasionally it may take
us longer than a month, taking into account the complexity and number of
requests we receive. If you are an employee of a Salesforce customer, we
recommend you contact your employer’s system administrator for assistance in
correcting or updating your information.

Some registered users may update their user settings, profiles, organization
settings and event registrations by logging into their accounts and editing
their settings or profiles.

To update your billing information, discontinue your account or request return
or deletion of your Personal Data and other information associated with your
account, please contact us by using the information in Section 13 below.

10.3 Your rights relating to customer data

As described above, we may also process Personal Data submitted by or for a
customer to our products and services. To this end, if not stated otherwise in
this Privacy Statement or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal
Data as a processor on behalf of our customer (and its affiliates) who is the
controller of the Personal Data (see Section 1 above). We are not responsible
for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our
customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Statement. If
your data has been submitted to us in our role as a processor by or on behalf of
a Salesforce customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under
applicable data protection laws, please inquire with them directly. Because we
may only access a customer’s data upon their instructions, if you wish to make
your request directly to us, please provide us the name of the Salesforce
customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that
customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a
reasonable timeframe.

10.4 Your preferences for email and SMS marketing communications

If we process your Personal Data for the purpose of sending you marketing
communications, you may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional
communications from Salesforce by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on
the bottom of Salesforce marketing emails, by replying or texting ‘STOP’ if you
receive Salesforce SMS communications, or by unsubscribing here. Please note
that, notwithstanding the above, you will continue to receive marketing and
non-transactional communications from CMO Club unless you manage your receipt of
such communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom
of CMO Club’s marketing emails.

You may also turn off push notifications on Salesforce apps on your device, or
unsubscribe by contacting us using the information in the “Contacting us”
section, below.

Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of
receiving important business communications related to your current relationship
with us, such as communications about your subscriptions or event registrations,
service announcements or security information.

10.5 Your preferences for telemarketing communications

If you want your phone number to be added to our internal Do-Not-Call
telemarketing register, please contact us by using the information in Section 13
below. Please include your first name, last name, company and the phone number
you wish to add to our Do-Not-Call register.

Alternatively, you can always let us know during a telemarketing call that you
do not want to be called again for marketing purposes.


11. HOW WE SECURE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We take appropriate precautions including organizational, technical, and
physical measures to help safeguard against accidental or unlawful destruction,
loss, alteration, and unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, the Personal
Data we process or use.

While we follow generally accepted standards to protect Personal Data, no method
of storage or transmission is 100% secure. You are solely responsible for
protecting your password, limiting access to your devices and signing out of
websites after your sessions. If you have any questions about the security of
our websites, please contact us by using the information in Section 13 below.


12. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT

We will update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes in
our practices, technologies, legal requirements, and other factors. If we do, we
will update the “effective date” at the top. If we make a material update, we
may provide you with notice prior to the update taking effect, such as by
posting a notice on our website or by contacting you directly, or where required
under applicable law and feasible, seek your consent to these changes.

We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Statement to stay informed
about our collection, processing and sharing of your Personal Data.

15. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights
Act) requires businesses to disclose whether they sell or share Personal Data.
As a business covered by the CCPA, we do not sell Personal Data.  We may share
Personal Data (in the form of identifiers and internet activity information)
with third party advertisers for purposes of targeting advertisements on
non-Salesforce websites, applications and services. In addition, we may allow
third parties to collect Personal Data from our sites or services if those third
parties are authorized service providers who have agreed to our contractual
limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of such Personal Data, or
if you use Salesforce sites or services to interact with third parties or direct
us to disclose your Personal Data to third parties.

California law requires that we detail the categories of Personal Data that we
disclose for certain “business purposes,” such as to service providers that
assist us with securing our services or marketing our products, and to such
other entities as described in Sections 5 and 6 of this Privacy Statement. We
disclose the following categories of Personal Data for our business purposes:

 

 * Identifiers;
 * Commercial information;
 * Internet activity information;
 * Financial information;  
 * Professional and employment-related information; 
 * Education information;
 * Geolocation data;
 * Audio and visual data;
 * In limited circumstances where allowed by law, information that may be
   protected characteristics under California or United States law; and
 * Inferences drawn from any of the above information categories. 

 

California law grants state residents certain rights, including the rights to
know and access specific types of Personal Data, to learn how we process
Personal Data, to request deletion of Personal Data, to request correction of
Personal Data, to opt-out of sharing your Personal Data for third party
advertising purposes, and not to be denied goods or services for exercising
these rights.

If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and have registered for an
account with us, you may ask us to remove content or information that you have
posted to our website(s). Please note that your request does not ensure complete
or comprehensive removal of the content or information, because, for example,
some of your content may have been reposted by another user. 

For information on how to exercise your rights, please refer to Section 10.2 of
this Privacy Statement. If you are an authorized agent wishing to exercise
rights on behalf of a California resident, please contact us using the
information in the “Contacting Us” section above and provide us with a copy of
the consumer’s written authorization designating you as their agent.

If you would like to opt-out of shares using your cookie identifiers, turn on a
Global Privacy Control in your web browser or browser extension. Please see the
California Privacy Protection Agency’s website at
https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa for more information on valid Global Privacy
Controls.  If you would like to opt-out of shares using other identifiers (like
