Privacy Policy
At Ohalo we are dedicated to protecting your data and respecting your privacy. This policy sets out how we do that when you interact with us.
INTRODUCTION
This policy applies if you are a customer of ours or you are using our website. In either circumstance, we are the registered data controller (ICO reference ZA339181).
YOUR DATA
When you visit our website or use our services, we receive data from you. This data is either (i) provided directly by you (e.g. contact details) or is (ii) passively collected by us (e.g. how long you spend on a page).
The data that we receive from you falls into several different categories that reflect the different channels through which it is received:
YOUR DATA: CATEGORIES AND CHANNELS
- Contact and log-in details: You provide this data to us when you fill out forms on our website, such as when you sign-up to our services. Your data here can include your name, e-mail address, company profile, and log-in details.
- Data for analysis or governance by Ohalo’s products: You provide this data to us when you submit a datasource for use with the Data X-Ray or Data Protection Router. The data that you provide here is up to you but typically might include employee or customer records. Once your data has been parsed by an Ohalo product (for example once a datasource has been scanned by the Data X-Ray) our copy of the data, technically only ever retained momentarily on our system’s memory, is immediately deleted. We do not retain custody past that point.
- Billing and financial details: You provide this data to us when you pay for one of our products. Your data here could include your bank account number, sort code, credit/debit card details, and billing address.
- Data on how you use Ohalo’s website and platform: We collect this data from you through analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity when you use our website or platform, to help us improve our products, website experience, and advertising. By using our site, you agree to the collection and usage of this data by both Ohalo and Microsoft. Your data here can include the path you have taken through our site, the products you have viewed, how long you have spent on one of our pages, what you have done on those pages, the response time of those pages, download errors and the methods you have used to browse away from a page.
- Technical data that identifies you: We collect technical data from you when you use our website or platform. Your data here typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, geolocation information, operating system and version.
- Third-Party Business Data Collection Using ZoomInfo: Ohalo partners with ZoomInfo to enhance our business outreach by accessing relevant professional information about business contacts. This data, which may include names, job titles, business contact details, and company affiliation, is used exclusively for business-to-business communication purposes. By using trusted third-party providers like ZoomInfo, we aim to deliver more relevant and personalized communications that better serve prospective and current clients.
