IMPORTANT NOTE TO RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE UNITED KINGDOM: This privacy policy contains important information about your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union and the equivalent laws of the United Kingdom (the “GDPR”). Please see our GDPR Notice below for more information about these rights.
This PRIVACY POLICY (this “Policy”) describes the kinds of information that Slayte, together with all of its employees, contractors and subcontractors, affiliated parties such as parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, executives, and shareholders, and other related parties (“we;” “us;” “our;” the “Company;”) collects about our users (“you”). You are a Data Controller as to information that you receive from any person and transmit via the Website as further defined below, and a Data Subject as to your own information that you transmit via the Website as further defined below, within the meaning of the GDPR. By using Slayte.com, any of its related or affiliated domains, webpages, or sub-domains, or any other website that we own or operate, together with any native features thereof including our chat functions and other inter-user communication tools (or communication tools between you and the Company), or document upload/download functions, and all other such functionality whether native to your browser or via an app (collectively, the “Website”), you agree to this Policy. Your acceptance of each term and condition of this Policy is deemed a continuing acceptance, meaning that each time you access the Website, you accept the then-current version of this Privacy Policy, which was last updated June 8, 2020.
The purpose of this policy is to explain how we ensure your privacy, what steps we take to prevent and mitigate the compromise of private information, what kinds of information we collect from you, what we do with that information, and how you may exercise certain of your rights under applicable data privacy laws related to that information. This policy identifies our data protection officer, and provides you with the information that you may need to contact our data protection officer.
All terms of this Policy and our Terms of Use apply whether you log in via a browser or through an app native to a mobile device or any other device. When logging in you will be directed to a web browser and redirected to a Slayte.com login page or similar login page, where you may either sign up or log in. When using a native login flow, you sign up or enter login credentials directly into the app. This Policy, and our Terms of Use, make no distinctions between browser-based, app-based or native- and non-native logins except where expressly stated herein. Browser-based logins may be further subject to the terms of service (however styled) of your chosen browser. When using a browser-based login, your browser is a third-party within the meaning of the GDPR. We do not and cannot collect or store information that you submit to your web browser but not to us (for example, if you enter text into a text field on a browser-based login page, but do not click the Submit button or otherwise execute a command to send that information to us).
The Company’s GDPR Data Protection Officer is Maximillian Peters (the “Protection Officer”). The Protection Officer may be contacted via email at privacy@slayte.com, or by writing to us at:

Where the Website so states, Content may be limited only to those users that you designate through invitations or through other direct communications, including the chat functionality that we provide.

Information that we request at the time of account creation may include an email address and other contact information, your name, a display name, and a profile picture. The Company maintains records of its customer profiles to facilitate quick or automatic logins by customers, for purposes of counting the number of its customer profiles, and so that the Website and the Company can remember this information for future visits to the website. Please see our Cookie Policy below for more information about what information we collect and use to expedite Website functions.
If you delete your account, the company may retain your profile information for future use, including for counting the number of customer accounts that have been deactivated.
We also collect information about your uses of the Website. This includes information about the other users with whom you connect or share Content, including that Content itself. This may include information about you supplied by other users. For example, if another user posts Content to your profile and you view or engage with that Content, we will collect that information both as to the Content and to your viewing of, or other engagement with, the Content.

If we choose to display promotional content or advertisements, we may use information about the kinds of Content that you view, and your own Content, to determine the advertising experience that is most relevant to your interests.
The principal service of the Company is to provide a platform for your engagement with certain third parties, which may be your members, marketing contacts, employees, or any other such third parties, however styled (altogether, your “Affiliates”). For all such uses, the Website is a “platform” within the applicable data privacy and communications-related laws of the United States and the European Union.
Your use of the Website to engage with your Affiliates does not create any relationship of any kind, including privity of contract, between the Company and your Affiliates. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind to your Affiliates regarding the collection, use, or processing of any information (whether or not constituting Content) to your Affiliates. Any information of, or created by, your Affiliates that the Company receives from you shall be deemed your information for purposes of this Privacy Policy.
The Website integrates with several third-party platforms. Any use of those platforms via the Website is subject to the terms and conditions of those platforms. You may find the complete list of our integrated partner platforms here: integrations
All persons other than the Company listed at the above URL are “Third-Party Platforms.”
Your permissive use of any API provided by Third-Party Platforms does not constitute a permissive use of the Website. It is possible that conduct that would be permissible under the terms of service of Third-Party Platforms may be impermissible under our Terms of Use, and vice versa. The Company does not and cannot enforce any terms of service (however styled) created by Third-Party Platforms. Any use of such APIs constitutes an acceptance of our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
Any person, including an Affiliate, who uses a Third-Party Platform APIs as a direct or incidental result of your use of the Website (for example, a user who engages in a Zoom call scheduled or coordinated through the Website) shall be deemed to have accepted our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
To the extent that they receive any information from you on account of your use of the Website (including use of the Website or a Third-Party Platforms mediated by an API), all such Third-Party Platforms are third parties within the meaning of the GDPR.
The Company collects certain non-personal information about you. By “non-personal information,” we mean information about you that cannot be used, and is not stored, in a way that can identify you personally. This information may also be known as “pseudonymous” information.
The Website will collect information about your location based on your IP address. An IP address is a user-supplied identifier that allows the Company to know, in general terms, where its users are located. An IP address is not the same as a physical address, and is not the same as either your shipping address or your billing address, if applicable.
The Company uses your IP address for internal purposes such as knowing which countries provide certain percentages of its users. The Company does not distribute your IP address to any other person. The Company does not verify your IP address or connect it to your shipping or billing address for purposes of checkout if you purchase any products or services from us. Your IP address is not and cannot be used by the Company to identify you personally. The Company’s web host will also know your IP address for purposes of logging visits to the Website from your IP address and for preventing distributed denial-of-service attacks, which are disruptive attacks on websites caused by very large numbers of simultaneous visits to the Website.
The Company collects information about users such as the number of users visiting the Website at any given time, the times during which visitors visit the Website, the length of time that users use the Website, which pages they visit, which products they order, and what other actions they take while using the Website. This information is collected by the Website and is provided in an anonymized form to the Company’s data analytics provider, which is Google Analytics (the “Data Analytics Provider”). This information is used by the Company to track the engagement, general geographic origin, and headcount of its users. This information is combined together to provide general demographic information on the Website’s users. This information is not and cannot be used to identify you specifically.
The Data Analytics Provider is a third-party processor for purposes of the GDPR.
The Company provides opt-in functionality that allows you to look up and connect with other users via the Website. Your ability to look up other users, and to be looked up by other users, is subject to your manually opting in to visibility to other users. If you so opt, you represent and warrant that you consent to the public display of certain of your account information including your name and contact information, that you consent to the Company’s allowing any Website user to look up that information through a text field search tool, that you consent to the Company’s using auto-complete or other suggestive fill-in information to collect and transmit certain of your profile information including your name and contact information to other users, and that you expressly indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any use or misuse of such functionality. Look-up functionality and your consent to the public display of any of your profile information anywhere on the Website is at your own risk. All Website functionality is “as-is.” We do not make any representations or warranties to any person, including you, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information, whether or not construed as Content, that you transmit to us or that you post to the Website or transmit via the Website or a Third-Party Platform.
The Company’s Third-Party Platforms may include payment processing tools or merchant services providers (all such payment platforms, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, “Merchants”). The use of any Merchant is subject to the terms of service and privacy policies of that Merchant. The Company does not collect or store payment information except for the express and limited purpose of verifying submitted payment information to enable checkout. The Company does not store your credit card information or other information, including any of your native login credentials to a Merchant.
Any payment information that is transmitted to us through the Website is transmitted via a token system. Payment information is reduced to a pseudonymous token, transmitted to the Merchant, who confirms to us whether or not payment is successful. The Company collects and processes information related to the success or failure of payments for the purpose of effectuating fulfillment of any order or purchase, and where applicable, will also collect and process information related to your shipping or billing address for the express and limited purpose of verifying successful payment and effectuating fulfillment of any order or purchase (such information shall be deemed Content hereunder).
The Company cannot remind you of lost or forgotten payment information because the Company does not know it.
Content that you post to the Website is shared with other users. We also share Content and other information internally. We may review Content internally to determine that Content does not violate this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.
If we elect to provide promotional content or advertising, we may share information about the kinds of Content that you post and use, information related to your general geographic location as we infer it from your IP address, and other information that you supply to the Website to ensure that promotional content or advertisements are relevant to your interests.
We do not share your information with third-parties except to the express and limited extent that your use of a Third-Party Platform, via an API or otherwise, may necessitate the sharing of certain of your information (such as your IP address) via the Third-Party Platform’s API. If you use the Website to schedule conferences, meetings, video or audio calls, or any other communication, where such communication takes place via a Third-Party Platform, such information may be accessible to the Company. The Company does not record, store, or otherwise process audio or video calls, or similar meetings, except to the express and limited extent that the Company may process information of a general nature about such calls including the time and date of such calls, participants invited to such calls or meetings, the duration of such calls or meetings, and other information native to the call or meeting event having no relation to the content (whether or not constituting Content) of such calls or meetings.
We will also respond to a valid subpoena or other valid governmental requests for information. If we receive a valid subpoena or other valid governmental request for information about you, we may not disclose this request to you.
If we elect to provide for integration with other third-party apps or other services with the Website, we may share your Content or other information with those third-party apps or other services depending on their own terms and conditions. We will not share your information with any third-party apps or other services without first informing you.
If we have a good-faith belief that a user has posted Content or otherwise used the Website in a way that makes us believe that a user has engaged, or is about to engage, in criminal activity or other serious wrongdoing, we may share that information with the relevant authorities. If we do so, we may not inform you when we share that information.
The Website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that the Website places in your browser in order to track your activity across multiple separate pages within the same instance of the Website. For example, if you navigate to a sub-page of the Website with a fillable form that you then submit, a cookie will be used to connect the browser activity that filled that form with the browser activity that acknowledges our receipt of the same form. Cookies are used to maintain consistency across a session of Website use.

Nothing in this notice should be construed as amending, modifying, replacing, or otherwise affecting the terms and conditions of any transactions between you and the Company, except that to the extent any such terms and conditions are inconsistent with the General Data Protection Regulations of the European Union and the equivalent rules of the United Kingdom and any other applicable jurisdiction (altogether, the “GDPR”) those terms and conditions are VOID.
Instructions For Exercising Your Right To Instruct Us To Forget Your Information
The GDPR provides a generalized “right to be forgotten,” meaning that you have the right to instruct us to delete any and all information that the Company, the Website, or any of the third parties collects about you. Please contact us by email at privacy@slayte.com, by phone at in order to instruct us to forget any or all of the information that the Company, the Website, or any of the third parties collects about you. You may delete your profile entirely in the application settings. This withdraws your consent from our policies. Per the GDPR, we may take up to 24 hours to process any withdrawn consent. You may download a copy of the personal data you have provided through the controller in the settings. Any further subject access requests must be directed via email to privacy@slayte.com.
The Model GDPR Clauses Apply to this Policy. Except where expressly stated to the contrary, the Model Clauses of the GDPR apply to this Privacy Policy.
We will follow instructions received from you pertaining to your rights under the GDPR or any other similar law. You are a “Data Controller” within the meaning of the GDPR. With respect to personal data, we follow instructions that we receive from you, including your instruction to provide you with a machine-readable copy of all information about you that we store or process, and including your instruction to us to “forget” such information, unless those instructions are (i) legally prohibited or (ii) require material changes to the Software. In addition, we will reasonably support any Data Controller in addressing requests from other Data Controllers or regulatory authorities regarding our processing of personal data. If we cannot comply with an instruction or if there is a user-billable cost to comply with the instruction, we will promptly notify you.
To process personal data, we and our sub-processors will only use personnel who are bound to observe data secrecy under the Data Protection Law. We will use the appropriate technical and organizational measures to meet this objective. The current version of our Data Breach Response Policy can be found here.
At signup, each user will be prompted to consent to the Data Controller’s policy, which might have been set up and customized by each client in the Admin Settings. We record the date/time when the consent was given, and for TOS/Privacy consent we restrict any access unless consent was given. The option to withdraw consent is entailed in the option to delete the user profile.
