BrandSlice and its affiliates (collectively “BrandSlice”, “we” and “us”) respect your privacy. You should carefully read this Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you are signifying your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to use the Service.
BrandSlice provides a Service to help Brands create promotional content and share it with their Retailers so that they can use said content in their own self-branded Digital Advertising campaigns. These ads are shared with consumers through online channels, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, website landing pages and via email. As used herein, a “Brand” means an individual or entity (or a regional retailer sales and marketing group, sales representative, agency, or distributor acting on such individual or entity’s behalf) that is associated with, and whose goods and/or services are identified by, a distinctive name, trademark, and/or service mark or a collection thereof; a “Retailer” means an individual or entity that sells or makes available the goods and/or services of a Brand.
This Global Privacy Policy describes the types of Personal Data we collect through our marketing products and services (“Services”) and via our online presence, which includes our main website at BrandSlice.io, as well as our marketing collaboration platform services and websites that we enable Internet users to access, such as retailers.brandslice.io and brands.brandslice.io (collectively, our “Sites”). This policy also describes how we use Personal Data, with whom we share it, your rights and choices, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices. This policy does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services, even if they link to our Services or Sites, and you should consider the privacy practices of those third-parties carefully.
BrandSlice obtains Personal Data and non-Personal Data about you from various sources to provide our Services and to manage our Sites. “You” may be a visitor to one of our websites, a user of one or more of our Services (“User” or “BrandSlice User”). Depending on your use of the Service, we may collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your name, address, email address and telephone number. We collect personal information to the degree that it allows us to associate you with a Brand or a Retailer. No other personal information such as age, gender or religious preferences are collected.
Non-personally identifiable information is information that any single item of which, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (like current location or zip code), IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other statistical data involving the use of the Service. Certain non-personally identifiable information may be considered a part of your personally identifiable information if it is combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered non-personally identifiable information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-personally identifiable information (for example, your viewing preferences).
a. Personal Data that we collect about you.
Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. The Personal Data that you provide directly to us through our Sites will be apparent from the context in which you provide the data. In particular:
- When you register for a BrandSlice account, we collect your full name, work email address, and account log-in credentials.
- When you fill-in our online form to register a Retailer or Brand or contact our sales team, we collect your full name, work email, business address and phone number, and anything else you tell us about your business to join BrandSlice.
- When you enter your billing information, our third party billing system, Stripe, will collect your name, payment card number, CVC code and expiration date. That data is maintained within the Stripe system, a certified PCI Service Provider.
When you respond to BrandSlice emails or surveys we collect your work email address, name and any other information you choose to include in the body of your email or responses. If you contact us by phone, we will collect the phone number you use to call BrandSlice. If you contact us by phone as a BrandSlice User, we may collect additional information in order to verify your identity.
b. Information that we collect automatically on our Sites.
Our Sites use cookies and other technologies to function effectively. These technologies record information about your use of our Sites, including:
- Browser and device data, such as IP address, device type, operating system and Internet browser type, screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, plug-ins, add-ons and the language version of the Sites you are visiting;
- Usage data, such as time spent on the Sites, pages visited, links clicked, language preferences, and the pages that led or referred you to our Sites.
We also may collect information about your online activities on websites and connected devices over time and across third-party websites, devices, apps and other online features and services. We use Google Analytics on our Sites to help us analyze your use of our Sites and diagnose technical issues.
a. Our products and services.
We rely upon a number of legal grounds to ensure that our use of your Personal Data is compliant with applicable law. We use Personal Data to facilitate the business relationships we have with our Users, to comply with our financial regulatory and other legal obligations, and to pursue our legitimate business interests. We also use Personal Data to complete payment transactions and to provide payment-related services to our Users.
b. Marketing and events-related communications.
We may send you email marketing communications about BrandSlice products and services, invite you to participate in our events or surveys, or otherwise communicate with you for marketing purposes, provided that we do so in accordance with the consent requirements that are imposed by applicable law. When we collect your business contact details through our participation at trade shows or other events, we may use the information to follow-up with you regarding an event, send you information that you have requested on our products and services and, with your permission, include you on our marketing information campaigns.
c. Interest-based advertising.
When you visit our Sites or online services, both we and certain third parties collect information about your online activities over time and across different sites to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your individual interests (this type of advertising is called “interest-based advertising”). These third parties may place or recognize a unique cookie or other technology on your browser (including the use of pixel tags). Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent prior to processing of your information for the purpose of interest-based advertising.
You may see our ads on other websites or mobile apps because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users based on a range of factors, including demographic data, users’ inferred interests and browsing context (for example, the time and date of your visit to our Sites, the pages that you viewed, and the links that you clicked on). This technology also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and understand if you have seen one of our advertisements.
To learn how to opt out of behavioral advertising delivered by Network Advertising Initiative member companies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance. You may download the AppChoices app to opt out in mobile apps. If you opt out from interest-based advertising, you may see advertising that is not relevant to you. At present, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not respond to them.
BrandSlice does not sell or rent Personal Data to marketers or unaffiliated third parties. We share your Personal Data with trusted entities, as outlined below.
a. BrandSlice. We share Personal Data with other BrandSlice entities in order to provide our Services and for internal administration purposes.

We authorize such service providers to use or disclose the Personal Data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We require such service providers to contractually commit to protect the security and confidentiality of Personal Data they process on our behalf. Our service providers are all located in the United States of America.

f. Compliance and harm prevention. We share Personal Data as we believe necessary: (i) to comply with applicable law, or payment method rules; (ii) to enforce our contractual rights; (iii) to protect the rights, privacy, safety and property of BrandSlice, you or others; and (iv) to respond to requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, and other public and government authorities, which may include authorities outside your country of residence.

d. Process for exercising data protection rights. In order to exercise your data protection rights, you may contact BrandSlice as described in the Contact Us section below. We take each request seriously. We will comply with your request to the extent required by applicable law. We will not be able to respond to a request if we no longer hold your Personal Data. If you feel that you have not received a satisfactory response from us, you may consult with the data protection authority in your country.
For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before responding to your request, such as verifying that the email address from which you send the request matches your email address that we have on file.

If you are a BrandSlice User, we retain your Personal Data as long as we are providing the Services to you. We retain Personal Data after we cease providing Services to you, even if you close your BrandSlice account, to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection and prevention. We also retain Personal Data to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations, where we are required to retain the data by our contractual commitments to our financial partners, and where data retention is mandated by the payment methods that we support. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.
The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (18), and we request that they not provide Personal Data through the Services.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new services, changes in our Personal Data practices or relevant laws.
