Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to Smokeball, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy provides you with information about how we may collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information collected in connection with your use of our websites, mobile applications, software solution and other Smokeball services (collectively, the “Services”) where we post or link to this Privacy Policy.

  • Personal information we collect

    Information You Provide

    We collect personal information you provide when you use our Services from one or more devices associated with you, or that you provide in any other way, including over the phone, by email or on paper. For example, we may collect your first name, last name, email address, phone number and details about your organization when you complete our online form requesting a demo of our software solution or sign up for our “Communicate” service. We may also collect additional personal information when you purchase a subscription to our software solution, sign up for a Smokeball-sponsored event or webinar, participate in our referral program, subscribe to our blog or other marketing communications, complete surveys, provide a testimonial or contact our support center representatives. When you use our “Communicate” service we may process information relating to your legal matter, which may include sensitive personal information. We will not access or otherwise use your information provided through our “Communicate” service unless we are assisting you with technical issues or as otherwise required by applicable law.

    Information from other source

    We may also collect personal information about you from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example, we may aggregate your personal information with information that you make publicly available on social media or third-party websites or that we receive from a third party via a referral to better market our Services to you.

    Information automatically collected

    When you visit our websites, we may automatically collect information about your visit, including pages you access, links you click and actions you take through the use of essential and non-essential cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and other tracking technologies (collectively, “cookies”). We may also collect certain information from your web browser, such as your device’s operating system, application software, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP), Internet Protocol (IP) address, MAC address, access times and the websites you visit after our website(s).

  • How We Use Cookies

    Cookies are small text files downloaded to your device when you visit a website. As discussed in detail below, we use cookies to provide our websites, gather information about your browsing behavior in order to personalize your experience and to understand how visitors generally use our websites in order to improve our websites. We may use and allow certain third parties to place cookies on our websites to collect information about your online activities over time and across websites. We may use this information to deliver advertising relevant to your interests (known as interest-based advertising). We may also use these cookies to determine how effective our advertising efforts are in order to improve the advertisements you see.

    The cookies we use on our websites generally include:

    Strictly Necessary Cookies

    Cookies that are necessary in order to operate our websites, including to maintain the security of our websites. These cookies are erased when you close your browser.

    Analytical Cookies

    Cookies that allow us to recognize and count the number of people who visit our websites and understand how these visitors navigate through our websites so that we can make improvements as needed. These cookies are erased when you close your browser.

    Functional Cookies

    Cookies that improve the functional performance of our websites and make them easier for you to use by remembering your preferences. These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and allow us to provide you with the same experience during your next visit to our websites.

    Targeting Cookies

    Cookies placed by third parties that allow us to better understand how visitors interact with our websites and other websites so that we can deliver interest-based advertisements. These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser for us to use during your next visit to our websites.

  • Cookie and Marketing Choices

    Your web browser may be set to accept cookies automatically, and only you can manage your browser settings. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure detailed in the “Help” section of the toolbar on most browsers that allows you to block certain cookies. Please note that by blocking certain cookies, you may not be able to access important functions or take advantage of the improved website experience that cookies offer.

    If you want to opt-out of interest-based advertising, you may do so by clicking here.

    Please note this does not completely opt you out of being served ads. You may continue to receive generic advertisements. If you reside in Australia, we will not send you any marketing messages via email without your express or inferred consent.

  • Do Not Track Signals

    Some web browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because uniform standards for “Do Not Track” have not been established, our websites are not currently configured to respond to these signals.

  • Call Recordings

    From time-to-time Smokeball may call or contact you about your account or receive calls from you. Smokeball may record those calls and contacts, and store those records, and use or disclose them:

    • for training and quality assurance purposes related to Smokeball’s staff; and

    • to comply with our legal obligations, respond to requests from competent authorities and regulators, and protect and enforce our legal rights and interests, including the terms of any agreement we have with you.

  • Security

    The security of your personal information is important to us. We take a number of organizational, technical and physical measures designed to protect the personal data we collect, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no security safeguards are 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

  • Data Retention

    We may retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to comply with applicable law.

  • International Data Transfers

    We may store and process your information in the United States and Australia.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

  • Linked Sites

    Our websites may contain links to third-party websites, including social media sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and Smokeball is not responsible for, the privacy practices of those third-party websites. To learn about the privacy practices of a linked site, you should read that site’s privacy policy to understand how personal information that is collected about you is used and protected.

  • Your California Privacy Rights

    If you are a California resident, you may have the right under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 to request information from us about how Smokeball may share certain personal information about you with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.  If you would like to make such a request, please use the contact details below.

We may require you to verify your identity in order to handle your request.

    If you make a complaint and we are unable to resolve it to your satisfaction, you may be able to submit your complaint directly to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

  • Rights of EU Residents

    Smokeball does not offer any products or services to individuals located in the European Union (EU). We may, however, process personal information of EU residents on behalf of our customers. If you are an EU resident and believe that Smokeball is processing your personal information on behalf of a customer, you should direct any inquiries regarding the processing of your personal information to that customer.
