1. background

 

This is the official privacy and security policy (“Privacy Policy”) for the Sales Sling website located at the URL: https://www.salessling.com (referred to herein, together with all Content available through the https://www.salessling.com domain name and/or other related domain names which may point or direct a visitor to this website and any related websites, as the “Website”). The Website is owned and provided by XenLeads Financial Group, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, d/b/a “Sales Sling” (“Sales Sling” or “us” or “we”). This Privacy Policy is also part of, and is subject to, the terms of service (the “Terms of Service”) for the Services of Sales Sling therein described, which can also be found at the Website.

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, do not use the Website or Service, or provide any information through or at the Website or Service.

This Privacy Policy is intended to apply only to the Personal Information collected by Sales Sling as a result of your use of the Website or Service, and does not cover any information collected in any other manner, for any other purpose or by any other website or enterprise. When we refer to “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information such as your name, address, telephone number, blog or other personal website URL, date of birth (but not general age range), e-mail address, credit card and billing information, and banking, account and related financial information used in connection with Payment Processing Services (as defined below), and any other information that would allow someone to identify you or contact you. Personal Information also includes information about your personal preferences, survey responses and your transactions or relationship with the Website or Services, if you have been a User or you have provided this type of information to us. Providing your Personal Information to us may enable you to use the Service or various functions or features of it, receive offers, participate in community discussions, beta tests, promotions, trial offers, chat rooms, online bulletin boards, to receive text messages and/or emails, to subscribe to newsletters or mailing lists, or to purchase products and services using the Website or Service.

Sales Sling reserves the right, without advance notice to you, to revise this Privacy Policy and/or the Terms of Service at any time by posting the revisions and/or the revised Privacy Policy or Terms of Service on the Website and, from time-to-time, may also require you to affirmatively acknowledge and affirm your review and acceptance of updates to the provisions of this Privacy Policy or Terms of Service; provided, however, whether or not we choose to implement such measures will be determined solely by us and you must recognize that once we post such revisions, they shall be effective and binding upon you immediately upon posting. Sales Sling therefore encourages you to check this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service on the Website often for updates. Sales Sling may also e-mail you about any changes to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service when they have been made. Keeping the Personal Information you share with us on the Website or through the Service secure and ensuring your understanding of how Sales Sling collects, uses, discloses and maintains your Personal Information is important to Sales Sling.

You may also have the opportunity to opt-in to or opt-out of special Promotions from the Website or Service.

Sales Sling and third party providers of products and services may contact Users or others that have registered for or participated in various Promotions, transactions or events, or send offers to you for the purchase of products and/or services that may be of interest to you.

Please remember that any information disclosed in these venues is automatically made public and may appear on other websites or web searches. You should exercise caution when disclosing any Personal Information in such communities, as you do not know who will access and use your Personal Information or for what purposes. Sales Sling will be in no way responsible for the accuracy, use, or misuse of any information that you disclose or receive through these venues, if any, and you should assume that any disclosure you do make in these venues will be available publicly, even without your knowledge or authorization. Additionally, to the extent that the Website or Service allows you to send information to others, Sales Sling may, but is not obligated to, monitor such messages via electronic software or personnel to check for obscenity, defamation or other types of abusive language, as well as for content that may infringe Sales Sling’s rights or the rights of others or otherwise violate the Terms of Service, all of which we may remove at any time. Sales Sling will not otherwise access these messages except in certain cases, including but not limited to times when we receive specific complaints related to a particular message or are compelled to do so by law, and except as otherwise provided in the Terms of Service. Also, for administrative purposes, Sales Sling may opt to keep a mail log that will include a record of which Users sent messages and to which Users or email addresses they were sent.

When Sales Sling discloses your Personal Information as herein provided to such licensors and third parties, Sales Sling will ask you to opt-in to do so, or provide you an opportunity to opt-out. If you opt-in, or do not opt-out, as the case may be, such licensors’ and third parties’ use of your Personal Information is subject to the licensors’ or third parties’ own privacy policies. Sales Sling may also disclose Personal Information to Affiliates for marketing or administrative purposes or to facilitate the delivery of deals for products and services, news, loyalty programs and other initiatives. Other websites that may be accessible through the Website have their own privacy policies, terms of use and data collection. Sales Sling is not responsible for the policies or practices of the operators of such other websites. 

11. Operational Service Providers

 

Sales Sling retains the right to disclose your Personal Information to Sales Sling’s licensors and other third parties for the purpose of administering and maintaining the Website and the Service, and the functions, features and operations thereof. Sales Sling will refer to these licensors and third parties as “Operational Service Providers” and Sales Sling uses Operational Service Providers to efficiently provide the full range of the Service and its Content and the services, functions and features we bring you, and we request that our Operational Service Providers also protect your privacy and not disclose your Personal Information to third party marketers that are not associated with the Website or Service. Additionally, such Operational Service Providers are not permitted to use your Personal Information for their own marketing or promotional purposes if the disclosure of your Personal Information is made only for the limited purpose of administering and maintaining the Website or Service or the functions, features and operations thereof.

12. Other Non-Affiliated Third Parties

 

Sales Sling will make your Personal Information available to non-affiliated third parties in the following limited circumstances:

A) When Sales Sling is compelled to do so by a governmental agency, court or other entity (e.g., to respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process);

C) If, in its sole discretion, Sales Sling believes such disclosure to be necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, to protect Sales Sling’s business and assets, to defend Sales Sling’s interests and/or to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;

D) Or, in the event of a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, transfer of control, joint venture or other business combination involving Sales Sling.

 

13. Security AND Protection of Personal Information and customer data

Sales Sling maintains reasonable standards of security and confidentiality. Server hosting for the Service is provided by Amazon Web Services – EC2, whose security documents can be found at https://aws.amazon.com/security, and Microsoft Azure, whose security documents can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/TrustCenter/Security/default.aspx. It is important to note, however, that for most Internet sites, including the Website and the Service, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications over an unsecured transmission. Sales Sling limits access to the Website and Service by our own employees to those individuals who are authorized for the proper handling of Personal Information, Customer Data and other information transmitted in connection therewith, and any employee found violating our standards of security and confidentiality will be subject to our disciplinary processes. Sales Sling also requests that our service providers follow the same policy.

Except as provided in the Terms of Service, or as may be required by law, Sales Sling does not pre-screen Customer Data (as defined in the Terms of Service), and does not review, share, distribute, print, or reference any such Customer Data. Customer Data and other individual records of a person using the Website or Service may at times be viewed or accessed by Sales Sling, but only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issue, or suspected violation of the Terms of Service, or as may be required by law. 

14. ReviewING, UpdatING or DELETING Your Personal Information

Generally, you may review, update or delete your Personal Information contained in your profile which may be accessed through your account settings once you have registered with Sales Sling through the Website or Service.

While Personal Information that is necessary to check eligibility cannot be deleted, it can be modified with sufficient verification of the correct information.

17. WEB BEACONS

When you use the Website or Service, we may employ “clear GIFs” (a.k.a. “Web Beacons”) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our Users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

Although Sales Sling may track the numbers of visitors to inform Sales Sling concerning how best to improve and update the Website and Service and enhance the experience for all visitors, Personal Information is not extracted in this process. Sales Sling uses tracking information on an aggregated basis to help Sales Sling operate the Website and Service, enhance and improve them, and to display advertising and marketing information.

 

18. Advertisements; Links

The Website and Service may contain advertisements, references and links to other websites, businesses and organizations. Sales Sling may also use third parties to display or serve advertising on the Website or Service and web-based newsletters, emails or other communications which you may choose to receive. Often, these third parties (“Advertisers or Ad Servers”) employ cookie and web bug technologies to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your information by Advertisers or Ad Servers in connection with their advertisements, promotions and other websites you encounter on the Internet. The use of such technology by these Advertisers or Ad Servers is within their control and not in the control of Sales Sling. Even if Sales Sling has a relationship with such Advertisers or Ad Servers, Sales Sling does not control their sites or their policies and practices regarding your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information that an Advertiser or Ad Server may collect from you, and Sales Sling encourages you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in this regard.

19. Reservation of Rights

Sales Sling reserves the right to deny access, use and registration privileges to any person, including, without limitation, a User of the Website or Service, if Sales Sling believes there is a question about the identity of the person trying to access and use the Website or Service. If the burden or expense of providing access, use or registration to a person is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or if the legitimate rights of others would be violated, we may decide not to provide such access, use or registration. In such cases, Sales Sling will provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be provided and a contact person for further inquiries.

20. OPT-OUT POLICY

 

Sales Sling always offers you a choice of how we may use information you provide to us, consistent with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.
