Privacy policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all products and services provided by Salesagent Inc. ("Salesagent", "we", "us" or "our") and explains how we collect, use and disclose information in connection with the websites at salesagent.com and any other domain we operate (each a "Site", together the "Sites"). This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. You are contracting with Salesagent Inc., based in Delaware, US.

The Sites are used predominantly by business entities to facilitate trade, so most of the data we handle is business rather than personal in nature. Even so, we take the privacy and confidentiality of personal information seriously and have built this policy to explain our practices clearly.

Information we collect

We only collect the information we reasonably need to provide our services and protect your account. Depending on how you use the Sites, this may include:

1. Registration Information — name, address, phone number and email address, collected when you register on the Sites.
2. Account Information — bank account numbers, billing and delivery details, and card numbers and expiration dates, collected to facilitate transactions, payments and buyer-protection services on the Sites.
3. Activities Information — records of transactions conducted or facilitated through the Sites, including product types and specifications, pricing and delivery details, and any trade dispute records.
4. Event Information — name, address, phone number and email address collected from users and prospective users at trade shows, industry events and other functions.
5. Browsing Information — records of browsing and purchasing activity on the Sites, including IP addresses, browser and operating system details, device attributes, pages viewed, and session and visitor statistics.

Registration Information, Account Information, Activities Information, Event Information and Browsing Information generally relate to business entities and are together referred to as "Business Data." To the extent any of this information identifies a living individual, we refer to it as "Personal Data."

Some Business Data and Personal Data is mandatory to provide (as indicated at the point of collection). If you don't provide the required information, we may not be able to complete your registration or provide the relevant Service.

The list of towns a candidate picks their home town from comes from GeoNames, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Picking a town sends nothing to GeoNames: the list is stored on our own servers.

When you log in, we record the time, your IP address, the country it belongs to and the browser you used. You can see your own recent logins on your Account history; we use the record to keep your account safe.

When you accept our Terms of Service or the internship agreement, we keep a record of it: the version, the date and time, and the IP address you used. We keep it as proof of what you agreed to, for as long as your account exists.

How we use personal data

Where you provide Personal Data to us, we collect, retain and use it for the following purposes:

1. verifying your identity;
2. verifying your eligibility to register as a User of the Sites;
3. processing your registration, issuing your log-in credentials, and maintaining your account;
4. providing customer service and responding to your queries, feedback, claims or disputes;
5. facilitating communication between buyers and sellers on the Sites;
6. conducting research and statistical analysis to improve the Sites and our product offerings, and for marketing purposes;
7. subject to your consent where required by applicable law, using your name, phone number, address and email address ("Marketing Data") to send you notices, surveys, product alerts and other marketing communications about our Memberships, value-added services, and other products we offer;
8. publishing information you voluntarily submit through our publishing tools — for example, your Company Profile or discussion forum posts ("Voluntary Information") — on the Sites; and
9. making disclosures required for any of the above purposes, or as required by law or in connection with actual or potential claims.

Disclosure of personal data

1. We may share your Personal Data with service providers who help us deliver our services ("Service Providers") — for example, data entry, database management, promotions, delivery, payment processing, and membership verification. Our Service Providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may use your Personal Data only for the purposes we've specified, not for their own purposes such as direct marketing.
2. Your Personal Data is held and processed by Salesagent Inc. only. We do not share it with Salesagent Group Limited, the company that holds our trademarks (see section 1.2 of our Terms of Service).
3. Where necessary, we may also share your Personal Data with our professional advisers, law enforcement agencies, insurers, and government or regulatory bodies, for the purposes described above.
4. Personal Data you provide is retained by us and accessible to our employees, Service Providers, and the third parties referred to above, as needed for the purposes stated in this policy.
5. Voluntary Information may be made publicly available on the Sites and accessible to any internet user. Once shared, it becomes public, and you give up any proprietary rights (including confidentiality and copyright) in it. Please think carefully before including personal or proprietary details in anything you submit voluntarily.
6. We may share your Account Information with banks or payment vendors to complete your transactions, and may use it to assess creditworthiness, including sharing it with banks or credit agencies for that purpose. We maintain up-to-date technology and procedures to protect your Account Information, but no system can guarantee complete protection against theft, loss or misuse.
7. We may share aggregated, non-identifying statistical information with third parties. We do not share personally-identifying information with third parties for their own purposes without your permission.
8. We partner with other companies and websites to offer products and services we don't provide ourselves, sometimes through hyperlinks or co-branded pages. If you submit information to those third parties, this Privacy Policy does not apply — their own privacy policies govern, and we don't control how they handle your information. Please review their policies before providing any personal information.

Your right to access and correct your data

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections. To make a request, or if you have questions about this policy, email legal@salesagent.com.

Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee to process access or correction requests.

Deleting your account

A candidate can delete their account in My Settings. After a waiting time of 14 days, during which logging in cancels the deletion, the account is closed: it can no longer be used and nothing it holds is shown to anyone. The account and what it holds are then removed from our systems by our staff, shortly after. The prospects a candidate logged and the emails sent to them stay with the company the candidate worked for, without the candidate's name. We keep a short record of the account and of its deletion (the dates of sign-up and of accepting the terms, the internships and how much was done in them, and how the deletion was requested) for a limited time, so that we can answer questions and legal claims. This record holds no name and no readable email address.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores in your browser. We only use cookies that are essential for the Sites to work:

1. a test cookie that checks whether your browser accepts cookies; and
2. sign-in cookies that keep you signed in to your account and protect it from misuse.

These cookies are needed for the functioning of the Sites and are removed when you sign out. We do not use advertising, analytics or other third-party cookies, no trackers, and we do not use cookies to track you across other websites. That is why we don't show a cookie banner.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block them, you won't be able to sign in to your account.

Minors

The Sites are not directed at minors (individuals under 18), and we do not knowingly offer our products or services to them. We have no reliable way to verify a User's age. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information without the consent of a parent or guardian, please contact us at legal@salesagent.com so we can remove it.

Security measures

We use commercially reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to the Sites and to keep the data we hold accurate and appropriately used. Registered Users can view and edit their Registration Information and Account Information through their password-protected account. Don't share your password with anyone — our staff will never ask for it by unsolicited phone call or email. If you use a shared computer, avoid saving your login details on it, and remember to sign out when you're done. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and while we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy on the Sites, and the updated version takes effect as soon as it's posted. The most recent version governs all information we hold about you, regardless of when it was collected.

Your feedback

We welcome your questions and feedback about this Privacy Policy or our services. You can reach us at legal@salesagent.com.

Effective date: October 1, 2026.
