Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1st, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Bytemine (“Bytemine,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a SPS Consulting brand. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and sell your information when you use our platform, APIs, website, or other services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information, including:

2.1 Information You Provide

Account Information: name, email, phone, company, billing information, etc.
Uploaded Data / User Files: When you upload contact lists or other data (e.g. via file enrichment), we process that data.
Communications & Correspondence: Emails, support requests, feedback.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

Usage Data: IP address, device type, browser, operating system, pages visited, timestamps, logs.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to personalize your experience, measure use, analytics, and ads.

2.3 Information from Third-Party Sources

We may obtain additional data from public sources or third-party providers to enrich or verify user or contact data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for purposes including, but not limited to:

Operating, maintaining, and improving our Services
Processing transactions and billing
Verifying, validating, and enriching contact data
Preventing fraud, abuse, or other unlawful uses
Communicating service updates, marketing, or other notices
Compliance with legal obligations and enforcing our rights

4. How We Share and Sell Data

4.1 Sharing with Service Providers

We may share personal data with contractors and service providers (e.g. analytics, payment processors, hosting) who perform services on our behalf, subject to confidentiality obligations.

4.2 Sale of Data / Third-Party Buyers

We do sell certain data to third parties, including but not limited to:

Contact information (e.g. mobile numbers, business and personal emails)
Enriched or validated data derived from our processing or enhancement
Aggregated or anonymized data, where individual identities may or may not be discernible

In some cases, this “sale” may be via a direct transfer or license of data to third parties for their use. By using our Services and providing contact data (either by uploading or via our APIs), you expressly consent to such sales of data under the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Third parties to whom we sell data may use it for their own purposes (e.g. marketing, sales, analytics), subject to their own privacy policies.

4.3 Legal & Regulatory Disclosures

We may disclose data to comply with laws, enforce legal rights, respond to subpoenas or court orders, or protect rights, property, or safety.

4.4 Business Transfers

If we merge, are acquired, or sell a portion or all of our assets, your data may be among the transferred assets, subject to notice.

5. Data Security & Retention

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no system is perfectly secure.

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, or as required by law. After that, we may anonymize or delete it.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as:

Accessing, correcting, updating, or deleting your personal data
Opting out of marketing communications
Limiting or objecting to processing or sale of your data
Requesting data portability

If you’d like to exercise any rights, contact us at the address below. We may require verification of your identity and will respond within applicable legal timeframes.

7. Cookies, Tracking & Do Not Track

We use cookies and tracking technologies to operate and improve our Services. You may disable cookies via your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain features. We do not currently honor “Do Not Track” signals in all cases.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under 16 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age. If we learn we have, we will take steps to delete such information.

9. International Transfers

Your data may be stored, processed, or transferred across borders, including to jurisdictions with different data protection laws. We will ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) as required under applicable law.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post a revised version with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Notes / Tips for Implementation:

Be transparent and clear about what specific data is sold (e.g. mobile, email, enriched attributes).
Ensure your consent flows (e.g. in signup, upload) clearly notify users that their data may be sold.
For jurisdictions like the EU (GDPR) or California (CCPA), you’ll need to include specific disclosures (e.g. “Do Not Sell My Personal Information,” data subject rights under that regime).
Maintain a record of consents, opt-outs, and data disclosures.
Provide an easily accessible mechanism for users to opt-out of data sales if required under law.

If you want me to generate a version tailored to, say, the U.S., EU (GDPR), or California CCPA, I can do that next. Do you want me to produce such a jurisdiction-specific version?
