Privacy Policy
Effective February 1, 2023
1. General information
This Privacy Policy explains the types of regulated Personal Information or data (“Personal Information”) that Pimly, Inc. (“Pimly” or “we”), with its corporate family, collects, uses, and discloses about you through its business operations and https:/pimly.co (its “Website”). This policy applies to persons located in the United States.
Pimly provides business-to-business (B2B) content hosting services that interface with platforms such as Salesforce, and because those are a primary point of entry to our services, you should consult the privacy policy of any such portal you are using. Whether through its Website or its services, Pimly does not intentionally collect Personal Information of individuals acting as individuals.
By providing Personal Information to us, you accept and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Notice, including if you wish to send us a request to exercise any of your legal rights, please contact us at privacy@pimly.co or (833) 467-4659.
2. General categories of Personal Information we collect
Web browsing/sever log information. Our web server captures certain information automatically. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, approximate geographic location, browser type, computer operating system, time and date you visit, the pages you access, and the address of the page that directed you to our Website(s). We use this data to understand patterns of website activity and to improve our Website so they are more useful for you. This information is not linked in any way to you personally, and we do not have the means to link it to you.
Usage information. We collect usage information at a customer level from your use of our services. This involves login token, time, and content served. If you log into our back-end portal, we collect login information.
Cookies. Our Website uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies. Cookies record small amounts of data in your web browser. When you enter our Website, our web server uses these for various purposes, including making our site work properly and optimizing your experience. The cookies we use – and how to control them – are shown in our Cookie Banner. Pixels help us track page visits and responses to marketing campaigns.
Personal Information that you intentionally submit. We collect Personal Information when you communicate with us by email, register on our Website, participate in a survey or promotional program, submit a product review, register for a newsletter, or take some other affirmative step. The types of information collected will be reflected in your communication or form submission.
Personal Information that we obtain from others. We may obtain marketing leads from outside our corporate group. This is normally basic contact information such as names and email addresses. If we have an advertising service provider perform a blind mailing (a campaign using a mail or email list known to the service provider but not disclosed to us), we do not obtain your Personal Information unless and until you respond.
Aggregated or anonymized information. In some instances, we receive information that either combines the information of numerous consumers or is transformed in such a way that the information can no longer be linked to a particular consumer or their household. Under the law, this is not Personal Information.
3. What do we do with the Personal Information we collect?
We may disclose your Personal Information as permitted by law within our corporate group (our“Business”) and vendors we retain to provide services necessary to our operations. These might include website hosting companies, public relations companies, advertising and marketing agencies, and mail delivery service companies. Where designated as “Service Providers,” parties are under obligation to use the information only in support of our business, not their own. Otherwise, information is shared with them as third parties (as defined by appliable law), and that sharing is governed by applicable law.
We also reserve the right to release Personal Information without notice (i) when the law requires it (e.g., we have received a subpoena) or we otherwise believe that the law requires us to do so; (ii)when we believe it is necessary to protect and/or enforce the rights, property interests, or safety of Pimly, our users or others; or (iii) as we deem necessary to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, prevent fraud, and otherwise enforce our Privacy Policy.
Additionally, if Pimly merges with or becomes part of another organization, or if Pimly is sold, it sells all or substantially all of its assets, or it is otherwise reorganized, the information you provide may be one of the transferred assets to the acquiring or reorganized entity.
4. Personal Information we collect, how we collect It, and who sees It
The table below shows the Personal Information that we collect, where/how we collect it, and disclosures to third parties for our business (where we or our service providers or vendors use it to support our business). At a general level, we use this information to operate our site, advertise, and provide goods and services to you. Where identified as a “service provider,” an organization should be understood to be a “service provider” or “processor” under applicable law.

7. For residents of California
Under the laws of California, you have certain rights regarding information that could reasonably be used to identify you or your family. This Privacy Policy is provided so that you can understand at or before the point of collection what we are collecting and why. These rights do not extend to anonymized or aggregated information that can no longer be connected to you personally. Please note also that certain banking and health information is outside the scope of these states’ data privacy laws.
Right to know and data portability. You have the right to know what Personal Information we have collected about you, including the categories of Personal Information, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose Personal Information, and the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about the consumer. These are described generally in this Notice and specifically in the table in Section 4.
Under California law, we are not required to research Personal Information where it is not in a reasonably searchable format, we maintain the information solely for legal or compliance reasons, we do not use the information for commercial purposes or sell it, and we explain what we are not searching on these grounds. Likewise, we are not required to disclose a particular Social Security number, driver’s license number or another government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions, and answers, or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics. We will, however, identify which of these items we retain.
Right to deletion. You have the right to delete Personal Information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions; except where there is a statutory exception. In California, these exceptions when the Personal Information is needed to:
- Complete a transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.

- Comply with a legal obligation.

Right to non-discrimination. You have the right to not be discriminated against due to the exercise of your privacy rights under state privacy law. However, the exercise of certain privacy rights by California residents may make it so that we are no longer able to provide those residents with certain services or communications. For example, if, at the request of a California resident, Pimly deletes all of the California resident’s Personal Information that it maintains, Pimly will no longer be able to send communications to that resident.
Right to opt-out of automated decision-making or profiling. You have the right to know about and opt out of automated decision-making.

There are some circumstances in which we are not required to grant requests concerning your Personal Information, including where repeated requests are made for purposes of harassment or fraud.
Please note that if you use multiple email addresses to interact with us, or use services like iCloudHide My Email, we can only provide information or take action based on email addresses that you include in your address. For example, if you interact with our site using a Hide My Email address but receive your email from us forwarded your main email address, a request to delete would require the Hide My Email address as well as your main email address.
We retain records of our actions on requests to exercise rights, and their resolution, for the period allowed by law. These are maintained separately from our other collections of Personal Information.
Authorized agents. We entertain requests from authorized agents according to your state’s law. California residents can designate an authorized agent to make requests under the CCPA on their behalf relating to the residents’ Personal Information. Only you as a California resident, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent, may make a consumer request related to your Personal Information.
If you wish to have an authorized agent make a verifiable consumer request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your authorized agent, such as a power of attorney under California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. We will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information.
We can deny any request made by a purported authorized agent who does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the California resident to act on the California resident’s behalf. For more information on submitting a request on behalf of a California resident as an authorized agent, you can contact us using the information provided in Section 15.
Response time. Consistent with CCPA, we will respond within 45 days of a verifiable request to provide or erase your Personal Information, unless we notify you that up to another 45 days will be needed.
