We collect the following information about you:
Personal Information. This is information that directly or indirectly identifies you, such as your name, email address, or other identifying information about you, or that would, when combined with other information you provide or that is broadly available, be likely to identify you.
Other Information. Other Information is information that, by itself, does not individually identify you, such as browser type, operating system, technical data, and usage. We may link together different types of Other Information or link Other Information to Personal Information.
Individuals may interact with Influency in ways that require Influency to gather Personal Information. The amount and type of information that Influency gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, Influency may request that visitors who request information about our products or otherwise utilize the Website provide a name and email address, plus such other information as Influency may believe useful, including financial or other information, depending on the nature of the transaction contemplated. In each case, Influency collects such information only insofar as is legal and appropriate. If you do not wish for Influency to collect any information about you, you can simply not utilize the Website or otherwise supply Personal Information to Influency. Your choice not to provide information may, however, prevent you from using the Website or enjoying all the functionality of the Website.
Like most website operators, Influency collects non-Personal Information of the sort that web browsers, applications and servers typically make available to operators, like the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. These are described more fully below under cookies and other tracking technologies. Influency may use this information for a number of purposes including, for example, to better understand how Influency’s visitors use its website. The purposes for collecting and using this data may change from time to time at Influency’s discretion, and Influency may release non-Personal Information in the aggregate. By utilizing the Website, you agree to such use.

Some of our Website pages may utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies like pixel tags and web beacons (often called “smart cookies”) to improve the functionality of the Website. Cookies are text files that are sent by servers to web browsers and stored on your computer. They tell us which parts of the Website you’ve visited so Influency can alert you to software compatibility issues and save your preferences for future visits to the Website. Web beacons and pixel tags are images embedded in a webpage or e-mail for the purpose of measuring and analyzing usage and activity. The Website, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use web beacons and pixel tags to help us analyze usage and improve our functionality. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously provided by a user.
We use information collected from cookies and other technologies to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. We use cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Websitge, and their access preferences. We may use your Personal Information to see which web pages you visit at our websites, which website you visited before coming to our website, and where you go after you leave our website. We can then develop statistics that help us understand how our visitors use our websites and how to improve them. Influency visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Influency websites; provided, however, that Influency disclaims, and you hereby waive, any claim or liability that may arise due to your partial or incomplete access to the content of any of the Influency websites as a result thereof.
We also may use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection. We may ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those set out in this Privacy Policy.
As part of the use of your information for the above purposes, we may disclose your Personal Information or Other Information to our vendors and other contractors who perform various functions on our behalf. In the event that we disclose Personal Information to a vendor or other contractor, we will take reasonable steps to assure that such third party appropriately protects such Personal Information.
We also may provide Personal Information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons who provide services to you or us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
If Influency, any of our affiliates, or the Website is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, joint venture or other, similar transaction, we may transfer or allow access to Personal Information as part of the transaction and in review or preparation for it as described below under “Business Transfer.
We also may provide information about you to other third parties with your consent, for one of the purposes above, or for other appropriate purposes, e.g., following a subpoena or other legal process or to a regulatory agency in order to protect against fraud or investigate a criminal or civil matter or when Influency believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect Influency’s rights and interests, third parties, or the public at large.
Influency discloses Personal Information to those of its employees, contractors, agents and affiliated organizations that need to know that information in order to process it on Influency’s behalf or to provide services. Some of those employees, contractors, agents and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your state, province or country. By using the Website or providing us information, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Influency will not rent or sell potential Personal Information to anyone.
If you have supplied your email address, you agree that in addition to any information you may have solicited or requested, Influency may further send you emails to provide you with information, to inform you of new products, to solicit your feedback, or to keep you up to date on Influency and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. You may choose not to receive marketing email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in our marketing emails. You also may ask us not to send you other marketing communications by contacting us as specified in the “Contact Us” section below, and we will honor your request.
We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, we may not immediately delete residual copies of Personal Information that is on our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems. If you believe that Personal
Information we maintain about you is inaccurate, subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we correct or amend the information by contacting us as indicated below.
Influency undertakes commercially reasonable efforts to guard against unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of Personal Information, which efforts you agree are sufficient, adequate and complete. In some cases, we cannot control, and are not responsible for, information that is shared about you. For example:
Social Media Accounts. Influency may maintain various social network accounts such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Please note that comments and information that you leave in such settings are likely to be broadly visible and may not be controlled by Influency. We are therefore not responsible for any information or messages you leave in such settings or for how such information may be used by others.
Accessing and updating your Personal Information. If you provide us with information in order to access or receive information from the Website, we may or may not be able to provide you with access to your Personal Information. If information that we control about you is incorrect, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it (unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes). When updating your Personal Information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.
In the event (i) Influency engages in one more asset sales or purchases, (ii) Influency is acquired, (iii) Influency engages in one or more business combinations, mergers or acquisitions, (iv) substantially all of Influency’s assets are acquired, (v) Influency is subject to an event of bankruptcy, or (vi) Influency sells the Website or any related assets or rights in any URL, you acknowledge and agree that user information comprises an asset of Influency and that the same is subject to assignment, transfer and/or acquisition by a third party. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Influency may continue to subsequently use your Personal Information, and that such subsequent use may not be consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Advertisements appearing on the Website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Influency and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
The Website may contain links to webpages or tools operated by parties other than Influency. We do not control such websites or tools and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites or service providers. Our inclusion of links to an outside website or tool does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or tools or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from an electronic platform (such as an app) or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which you will be subject to upon accessing the third party’s website. We strongly recommend you review the third party’s terms and policies.
The Website is not intended for use by children. We do not intentionally gather Personal Information about individuals who are under the age of 13. If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us at kyle.painting@myinfluency.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the Personal Information of a child under 13, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites and online services that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Such browser features and industry standards are not uniform, so our websites and online services do not respond to those signals.
This section is applicable to residents of California. If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights described below. The following do not apply to individuals who do not live in California on a permanent basis.
Rights Provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83
A California resident who has provided personal data to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (a “California Customer”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed Personal Information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal data, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal data was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal data that were disclosed. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by mailing us at 1520 Avenue Place, Apt. 1403 Atlanta, GA or emailing Influency at kyle.painting@myinfluency.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to two requests per California Customer each year under Code Section 1798.83.
Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act
This section of our Privacy Policy provides California residents with a comprehensive description of Influency’s online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of Personal Information and the rights of California consumers regarding their Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). This section applies to all California residents (but not including legal entities, such as companies). The section will not apply, however, if Influency does not collect any Personal Information about you or if all of the information we collect is exempt from the statute (for example, the CCPA does not protect information that is already protected by certain other privacy laws, and it does not protect information that is already publicly available).
You have a Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold.
California residents have the right to request that Influency disclose what Personal Information it collects, uses, discloses, and sells. This is called the “Right to Know”. Under the Right to Know, you can request a listing of the types of Personal Information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, how we use the information (e.g., our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling Personal Information), other individuals and business with whom we share Personal Information, and the specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected about you.
Influency primarily provides services solely to businesses and not to individual California residents. All information that Influency collects from California residents is the same and is described in this Privacy Policy, i.e., names, email addresses, any other information you provide in our open form, and information
derived from cookies. Based on our use of cookies and other, similar devices, we also track IP addresses. We use this information, and share it with others, also as described in this Privacy Policy.
Because Influency only collects a limited amount of information, we are unable to verify the actual individual who may have made a call or used a particular computer or other device. Therefore, in order to protect your privacy and security, we are unable to provide you a copy of such information because we cannot confirm that the person making the request is the one who actually used the service. We do not want to provide your Personal Information to someone who is posing as you.
In the last 12 months, Influency has collected the following categories of Personal Information from individuals from the following sources:
Type of Information | Categories of Sources | Business or commercial purposes | Third parties with whom shared |
Identifiers such as a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, social security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers. | Website, direct contact email, phone, etc. | As described above, e.g., to provide you with product information and for internal purposes | Vendors |
Categories under California Civil Code Section 1798.80, which includes, in addition to some of the above information, signature, physical characteristics or description, telephone number, state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information. | Website, direct contact email, phone, etc. | Vendors | |
Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an Internet Web site, application, or advertisement. | Website | As described above regarding cookies | N/A |
“Personal Information,” for purposes of this section regarding the rights of California residents, does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records.
Influency does not sell any Personal Information.
You have a Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information about You.
California consumers have a right to request the deletion of their Personal Information collected or maintained by businesses in California. All information Influency receives from cookies is automatically deleted within thirty (30) days. Any other Personal Information we receive regarding you will be retained solely for internal uses which are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on our relationship with you or to complete the service for which the personal information was collected, i.e., to provide you with information about our products at your request. As such, all information we collect is either automatically deleted as required by the CCPA or is not subject to the right to deletion under the CCPA. In no event will we use such information for any other purpose, and as noted below, we do not sell Personal Information.
Sale of Personal Information
Influency does not sell Personal Information
Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights
You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by Influency for exercising any of your privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. Influency will not discriminate against any California consumer because such person exercised any of the consumer’s rights under CCPA, including, but not limited to:
Denying goods or services.
Charging different prices or rates for goods and services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.
Providing a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggesting that the consumer will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
