- Email address;
- First name and last name;
- Phone number;
- Country; and
- Cookies and Usage Data.
We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you where we have your consent to do so. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or the instructions provided in any email we send.
Our Service also collects and uses sales information, including at the employee level, to provide metrics and sales performance support. Accordingly, we collect and process information about sales performance at the employee or sales representative level on behalf of our clients, which is processed at both the individual sales performance level and at aggregate levels. This information is used by our clients pursuant to their own privacy policies and procedures to support key sales and other operational objectives, and in this context our clients are the data controllers of Personal Data processed as part of our Services.
We process Personal Data provided by prospective and existing Varicent clients in the course of doing business such as name, contact information, and other business details such as job title, employer, areas of business interest, and email correspondence. We also process audio and video information when meetings are recorded with consent of the company or individual being recorded. Such Personal Data may be processed and analyzed by third party service providers using software and algorithms to enhance our business relationships and exercise our legitimate interests to train personnel and improve our internal standards and practices. Examples of the foregoing include but are not limited to enabling automatic notetaking, deal tracking, evaluating the strengths of our interactions with our customers, the development of proposals and communications, and ensuring consistent messaging about our offerings. Individuals and companies who have provided consent can modify or withdraw it at any time by providing notice as provided in the “Contact Us” section below. If you are an existing customer of Varicent, the contents of our audio and video recordings shall be processed by us only for the purposes of managing and improving our business relationship with your specific account and training Varicent personnel related to your business. Such recordings are deemed to be Confidential Information under your Cloud Services Agreement external to the Cloud Service and any Customer Data located therein, and shall be subject to further notice(s) we may provide to your company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our call recording providers may use short, anonymized snippets of recordings from parties we speak with to train machine learning engines (ex. speech to text) within their product. We do not require external participants to calls to consent to being recorded.
If you are a candidate for Varicent employment or work experience, please review our supplementary Recruitment Portal Privacy Notice for further information on how we process your Personal Data.

In such cases, this Privacy Policy applies to both participants and speakers, together with any other supplementary information or notices that are provided in relation with each event or initiative. During such activities we may process Personal Data such as business contact information, telephone number and/or location. Where a hospitality service is provided, we may process Personal Data such as dietary requirements or personal disabilities to the extent permitted by law. If the activity is recorded, we may also process pictures and videos of you.

We may also obtain data such as attendee lists from third parties such as event organizers where the activity is sponsored by Varicent. In such cases, the privacy policy of those third parties to whom you provided your personal data will apply to you.

5. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under the GDPR
If you are from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using Personal Data, as described in this Privacy Policy, depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
We may process your Personal Data because:
- We need to enter and perform a contract with you;
- You have given us permission to do so;
- The processing is in our legitimate interests and it is not overridden by your rights; and
- To comply with applicable laws.
Where we require your Personal Data to enter into a contract with you or to comply with applicable laws, failure to provide this Personal Data may mean we are unable to provide Services to you. We will tell you when we ask for your Personal Data whether it is a statutory or contractual requirement to give us the Personal Data and the consequences of not providing such Personal Data.
6. Retention of Data
Varicent will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Varicent will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
If we collect Personal Data as confidential information under the scope of a non-disclosure agreement with the company you represent, we will comply with the retention requirements under such agreement unless we have your permission to retain it for a longer period or you direct that we return or destroy such information sooner.
7. Transfer of Data
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside Canada and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Canada and principally process it there, as well as other jurisdictions where we operate.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such Personal Data represents your agreement to the transfers described herein.
Where you are located in the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, your Personal Data may be transferred to - and maintained on – our computers located outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom or to other recipients located in countries outside of the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom which may not have data privacy laws equivalent to those in of the country in which you are located. By submitting your Personal Data to us, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Data to us, and the other recipients described in this Privacy Policy that are located in countries outside of the country in which you are located. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal, nor the lawfulness of processing based on other legal bases.
Varicent will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data privacy laws and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organisation or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your Personal Data.
