This Privacy Policy explains how Phase2 Technology, LLC (“Phase2,” “we,” “our” or “us”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit phase2.io or any other website or online service that links to this policy (together, the “Service”). It does not apply to information we collect offline, to information we process on behalf of our clients under a client agreement, or to the practices of third parties we do not control.

By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where the law requires your consent, such as for certain cookies, we ask for it through our cookie consent tool.

1. Information We Collect

(a) Information you provide to us

When you fill out a form on the Service (for example, to contact us, sign up for our newsletter, register for an event or webinar, or download content), we collect what you enter. That may include your name, email address, phone number, company, job title, industry and the content of your message. Our website forms are powered by ActiveCampaign, which stores your submission and manages our email communications on our behalf.

When you apply for a job, we collect the information you submit with your application, such as your résumé, work history and education. Job applications are submitted through a careers site hosted by Rippling, our recruiting and HR platform, which processes your application on our behalf.

(b) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Service, we and our service providers automatically collect some information about your device and how you use the Service (“Usage Information”). This may include:

  • your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
  • your browser type, operating system and device type;
  • the page or URL that referred you to the Service;
  • the pages you view, the links you click, and the date and time of your visit; and
  • if you have given consent where required, whether you open or click our marketing emails.

If we connect Usage Information to information that identifies you, such as an email address you submitted through a form, we treat it as Personal Information under this policy.

(c) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies (together, “Cookies”) to run the Service and understand how it is used. We group them into these categories, which match the choices in our cookie consent tool:

  • Strictly necessary. Required for the Service to work and stay secure, including saving your cookie preferences. These cannot be turned off.
  • Performance and analytics. Help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
  • Functional. Remember your choices and provide enhanced features, such as prefilling a form you have already completed.
  • Targeting and marketing. Help us understand which of our marketing efforts are working and tailor our communications to your interests.

Managing your cookie choices. We use OneTrust to manage cookie consent. When you first visit the Service, you can accept or reject non-essential Cookies, or choose by category. For visitors in regions where opt-in consent is required, non-essential Cookies are set only after you agree. You can change your choices at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the footer of any page.

Global Privacy Control. The Service recognizes Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of targeting and marketing Cookies for that browser. We do not currently respond to other “Do Not Track” signals, because there is no common standard for them.

(d) Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from other sources, such as event partners, co-marketing partners or business contact data providers, and combine it with information we collect on the Service. When we do, we treat the combined information as Personal Information under this policy.

(e) Third-party sign-in and integrations

Some features let you use a third-party account, such as LinkedIn, to apply for a job or fill out a form. If you use them, the third party may share information about you with us according to its own privacy policy and your settings with that service.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • respond to your inquiries and provide the information, content or services you request;
  • send newsletters, event invitations and other marketing communications, which you can opt out of at any time;
  • evaluate job applications;
  • operate, secure and improve the Service, and understand how visitors use it;
  • measure the effectiveness of our marketing;
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements; and
  • carry out other purposes we describe to you when we collect the information.

Please note that we may not respond to every inquiry submitted through a contact form. If you submit a form, we may send you marketing emails, and each one includes an unsubscribe link.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your Personal Information for money. We share information only as described below.

Service providers. We use vendors that process information on our behalf and under contracts that limit how they can use it. Our core providers are:

  • Webflow, which hosts the Service and provides our content management system;
  • ActiveCampaign, which powers our website forms, email marketing and site tracking;
  • OneTrust, which manages cookie consent and records your preferences;
  • Google Analytics, which provides website usage analytics; and
  • Rippling, which manages job applications and our recruiting process.

Partners, with your direction. If you register for an event or download content we offer with a named partner, we may share your registration information with that partner. We will tell you this at the point of collection.

Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with the law, respond to legal process, or protect the rights, property or safety of Phase2, our clients or others.

Business transfers. We may share information with our affiliates, or as part of a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets, including during due diligence.

De-identified and aggregated information. We may share information that has been de-identified or aggregated so it no longer reasonably identifies you.

4. Third-Party Links and Content

The Service may link to, or include content from, websites and services we do not control, such as social media platforms and embedded video. Those third parties may collect information about you under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies.

5. Your Choices

Email. Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or contact us. We may still send you non-marketing messages, such as replies to your inquiries.

Cookies. Select Cookie Settings in the site footer, or adjust your browser settings. Blocking some Cookies may affect how the Service works.

Updating your information. Contact us using the details in Section 12 to update or correct the information you have given us.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • know what Personal Information we hold about you and request a copy of it;
  • correct inaccurate Personal Information;
  • delete your Personal Information;
  • opt out of targeted advertising, or of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information as those terms are defined by law; and
  • appeal a decision we make about your request.

To make a request, email privacy@phase2.io or use the contact details in Section 12. We will verify your request before acting on it and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. An authorized agent may make a request for you where the law allows it.

7. Data Retention

We keep Personal Information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, such as maintaining our business relationship with you, or for as long as the law requires. When we no longer need it, we delete or de-identify it.

8. International Users

The Service is operated in the United States and is intended for users located in the United States. If you visit from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us Personal Information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information. No method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of the information you send us.

11. Third-Party Providers

The providers below may collect information on or in connection with the Service. Their policies explain their practices and, in some cases, how to opt out. We review this list periodically, but it may not always be current.

12. Changes to This Policy and How to Contact Us

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top. If we make material changes to how we use Personal Information we have already collected, we will give you notice or ask for your consent as required by law.
