1. Information we use to provide the service
We use a variety of information that we obtain from various sources, including our Customers and their users in order to provide the Service.

Information we collect from third party sources

We may obtain information from third party sources, such as data providers and integration parties, or from public sources and methods, such as information available on public APIs and the internet.

Information Customers and Users submit to us

Customers and their Users may provide a variety of information to us through the Service.

This includes:
  • Users' own contact and other personal information, such as name, email address, telephone number, job title, employer and location.

  • Other personal information, such as website visitor IP addresses, that our Customers submit to us through their use of our Service.


If we provide a payment option to Customers, we may collect payment data, and if a Customer purchases one of our online subscription-based Services, the Customer may need to provide payment and/or credit card information, and other information to validate their payment method and identity. We will use that information to fulfill the Customer's purchase request.

We likewise may request, and Customers and their Users may provide, additional information in order to create, support and maintain their account enabling access to the Services.

We refer to all of the above information referred to in this Section 1 as “Service Information.”

Our use of Service Information is governed by our Terms of Service and/or our other agreements with those Customers or their Users.
2. Information we collect automatically

We also use automated means to collect a variety of information from visitors to our Website and Users of our Service. We refer to this information, which we describe below (in this Section 2), as “Usage Information.”

First, if you visit our Website, or open an email that we send to you or that our Customers send to you through the Service, we and third parties may use automated means to collect information about you, your computer or other device, and your use of the Website or engagement with the email. These automated means include technologies such as cookies, Web server logs, Web beacons and JavaScript, as well as functionality that can collect data from a mobile device.

Cookies are files that websites and online services create and access on your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings on your device. Our Website and the Service may use HTTP cookies, HTML5 cookies, Flash cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage). If you visit our Website or use the Service, your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies or local storage you may not be able to use all of the features of our Website or the Service.

In conjunction with the gathering of information through cookies and other automated means, Web servers may log information such as your device type, operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. The Web server logs also may record information such as the address of the Web page that referred you to the Website and/or our Service and the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. They also may log information about your interaction with our Website or the Service, such as which pages you visit or which Service functionality that you use. To control which Web servers collect information by automated means, we may place tags on our Web pages called “Web beacons,” which are files that link Web pages to particular Web servers and their cookies. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages that we send to you or that our Customers send to you through our Services. We or third parties also may send instructions to your device using JavaScript or other computer languages to store or gather the sorts of information described above and other details about your interactions with the Website or Service.

If we provide a mobile app, we or third parties may collect information similar to the data mentioned above. In that case, we also may collect unique device identifiers (such as advertising IDs) and other mobile-specific types of information. For example, depending on your device and/or browser settings, we may collect your device’s geolocation.

We refer to all of the above information referred to in this Section 3 as “Marketing Information.”

6. Analytics, advertising and do-not-track
Advertising Technology Providers
As with many websites and web-based services, data about your activities on our Website and the Service may be collected by us or by advertising technology providers for use in delivering advertising (both online and offline) tailored to your individual characteristics, activities, interests and other factors. For instance, we may “retarget” you with ads for our Service when you visit our Website.

These ad services may track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the automated technologies described above, and they may use this information, and other information they receive from us or other sources, to deliver advertisements to you. We and third-party vendors may use first-party cookies and third-party cookies together, and other automated technologies, and in some cases additional information, (i) to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our Website or use of the Service or other factors and (ii) to report how ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Website, use of the Service or other factors.

You may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out page to opt out of receiving tailored advertising from many companies involved in that type of advertising – for instance, ads based on your Internet browsing activities. The opt-outs apply only to the browser in which you set them. For example, if you set the opt-out while using Firefox, but then use Chrome, the opt-out will not be active in Chrome. To opt out in Chrome, you will need to repeat the opt-out process.

The opt-outs described in this Privacy Policy do not block or delete cookies, or prevent the use of cookies or other technologies for purposes other than selecting ads based on your interests as inferred by your online behavior. If you opt out, data may still be collected about your web browsing activities and you will still see advertising. Ads may be delivered based on other factors, such as the content of the web page in which they are shown, or demographic information obtained through other means.
7. Your choices, and how to remove your content and information
We may offer Customers self-serve options for updating their account information and indicating Service preferences. To learn about these, please visit Settings >> You.

If you are a consumer and do not want information about yourself to be included in the Services or our contributor database, please submit a request on this website. We will keep your information in order to suppress it from being included in our contributor database to our Customers. Please note that this will not remove your data from the databases of other parties (such as our Customers or other data providers) who may already possess your data. Additionally, you can request and obtain a report detailing the information Apollo has collected on you by submitting a request on this website.
8. Security

We understand the importance of the security of the information we collect, but we cannot promise that our security measures will eliminate all security risks or avoid any security breaches. When you provide information to us, you do so at your own risk. Please help to do your part by taking steps such as (1) using a strong, unique password for our Service that you do not use elsewhere, (2) protecting the confidentiality of your password, and periodically changing it, (3) accessing our Service and Website only from devices that have an up-to-date operating system and anti-virus protection, and (4) notifying us of any suspected unauthorized activity or any breach of the confidentiality of your login credentials. Taking these steps may help lower the risk or impact of certain security threats.

9. Third party links and services

The Service and/or the Website may contain links to third-party websites, applications and services — or may itself be embedded in such a site, application or service — and may also contain cookies and other third-party content and features. Your clicking on these links or your viewing or interacting with any of these items, or third parties may result in the collection, use and sharing of information about you by third parties. We are not responsible for the content, security or practices of any third parties. The information you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by our Privacy Policy — you should review those parties’ policies and terms to determine how the data they collect from you will be handled.

10. Children

The Service is not intended for use by minors. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under the age of 16. No personal information should be submitted to our Service or Website by individuals who are under 16 years of age.

In cases where we act as a processor, you should direct any requests to exercise your data protection rights to the relevant Customer or User of our Service, not to us. If you are uncertain whether we process your personal data as a controller or a processor in any specific context, you can contact us at privacy@apollo.io for more information.

Data retention: The data we process in providing the Service is non-sensitive personal data and not subject to any sector specific data retention requirements.

We retain such personal data for as long as it is useful in our products, either as an actual data point or in order to derive, correct or validate other data points, and provided that we are comfortable that the data is accurate and can be relied upon.

We delete personal data when (a) it is no longer used for any purposes, or (b) a data subject requests deletion of their personal data or objects to us processing their data pursuant to their GDPR or other state or national rights (unless we have a valid legal justification to retain it, such as to resolve disputes or comply with our legal obligations). Where applicable, we also retain personal data which is necessary to keep in a suppression file, i.e., so if we obtain someone's data again, we will be able to exclude it from use.
