Our privacy & data protection principles

  • We believe data protection and user privacy are human rights and, therefore, we take protecting your privacy very seriously

  • We recognise that we have a responsibility and duty of care to those whose data we hold and we will never share or sell your personal information with anyone else without your permission

  • We don’t process any more data than we require, and, when we do, we’ll make it clear why we are doing so and how your data will be used

  • We ensure any personal data we hold is adequate and accurate. Please let us know if your personal information changes by emailing us at support@referralpie.com.

  • We believe in the importance of consent. We will never send you marketing emails you haven’t subscribed to and you will always be given the choice to unsubscribe from the ones you have.

How we use your personal data

We use personal data & cookies:

  • As part of performing our services to you & communicating with you in regard to our service

  • To personalise & optimise your experience of using our website & services

  • To keep our website safe, functioning & working as intended

  • To allow you to participate in the website where you’d like, such as signing up to our email list or registering as a customer

  • To continually improve our website, service, and marketing experiences through information gathered & analysed (such as where website visitors are coming from, what pages are they visiting, etc)

  • To accurately attribute referrals from our ReferralPie Partner program

Cookies & tracking data

This website uses cookies and similar technologies, which are small files or pieces of text that download to a device when a visitor accesses a website or app. This data is used to enhance your experience of this site.

We use data from cookies to monitor your use of our website. Cookies also allow us to better understand how you use our site so we can develop and improve the website experience as well as our services in response to what you might want or need.

  • Squarespace always uses these functional and required cookies, which allow Squarespace, our website hosting platform, to securely serve this website to you. These cookies don’t gather information about you in any way—they simply make our website function for you in the way it’s intended and allow us to do things such as avoid showing you a marketing banner you’ve already dismissed, for example.

  • If you came to ReferralPie from one of our referral partners, you may have been cookied by ThriveCart, where our referral program is held. You can read ThriveCart’s privacy policy here.

What about analytics cookies?

We use Plausible, a cookieless & non-invasive analytics provider, for tracking our users through anonymised IP addresses. We can see how many users visit our pages and what websites they came from, and we can use this information to guide and improve our website, client experiences, and communications, but we don’t collect or share personal information about our website visitors. You can read Plausible’s data policy here.

Disabling cookies

Disabling cookies on your internet browser will also stop this site from tracking any part of your visit to this website, though this may change how our website works for you. Further information on how to enable and disable cookies is available from www.allaboutcookies.org.

Communication data

When you send us a communication of any kind (whether through email, our chatbox, direct messages via social media or messaging services such as Voxer, Discord, and Telegram), we save and process your personal data in order to communicate with you and for our record keeping.

This type of personal data could include your:

  • Name

  • Business info, such as your website, etc

  • Email address

For example, if you message us on Twitter, we may save your name and business name in our AirTable sheet to track connections.

Booking data

When you schedule an appointment by booking on this website, we collect personal information from you to complete the booking. We may collect information like your:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Details relating to your appointment (for example, who referred you)

This information is processed through zcal, our scheduling service provider, so that they can provide online booking services to us. You can read zcal’s privacy policy here.

Client data

When you sign up for our subscription service, we process info such as your:

  • Name

  • Business info, such as your website, etc

  • Billing address

  • Email address

  • Purchase details

We need to process this data to perform a contract between us, to supply the services you’ve subscribed to, and to keep records of such transactions.

Our website

Our website is hosted by Squarespace, with servers located in the United States. You can learn more about how Squarespace is compliant with GDPR here.

Marketing emails

We use ConvertKit to manage our email marketing and our email subscriber list:

  • You are always given the option to unsubscribe from our emails at any point.

  • When you subscribe your information is stored in ConvertKit, with servers located in the United States. You can learn more about how ConvertKit is compliant with GDPR here. Your details will remain within ConvertKit’s database for as long as we continue to use ConvertKit’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you.

  • When we send emails to our subscribers, ConvertKit uses hidden single-pixel gifs (web beacons), which allows them to collect information about when subscribers open emails and their IP address, their browser or email client type, and other similar details. ConvertKit uses the data from those web beacons to create reports about how our email campaign performed and what actions our subscribers took (i.e. the pages they visited). Because it relies on a hidden gif, you can block any tracking by turning off automatic image loading in your email software.

You can read ConvertKit’s privacy policy here.

Third-party data processors

We use a number of third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf. When you book a call with us, contact us about our services, or subscribe with us, we process info in the following places:

Other websites

Our website contains links to and from other websites. When clicking through to another website, please note that they have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please read each website’s privacy policy before you submit any personal data to these websites.

It is also important to note that sharing links to other websites does not indicate ReferralPie’s endorsement of said website.

Communities & social networks

ReferralPie is a user of several third-party community platforms and social networks. These companies also process personal data and you should check their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.

Keeping your data

We’ll only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We’ll retain and use your personal data to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we’re required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We’ll also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. For example, Squarespace analytics will save information about your clicks and pages visited, which is helpful for us to know how to improve our service.

  • how long the data will be saved

  • with whom the personal data has been shared

We have the right to withhold the actual documents in which your personal data appears, especially if another person’s personal data is in question. We can, however, provide a comprehensible summary of the personal data that appears in said document(s), or is otherwise being processed, so that you can check the accuracy and legality of the data.

You won’t need to pay a fee to access your personal data. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. In those circumstances, we may also refuse to comply with your request.

To request information about your personal data at ReferralPie, please email support@referralpie.com.

You also have a right to complain to the Swedish Privacy Protection Authority (IMY) if you aren’t happy with any aspect of how your personal information & data is being collected & processed.

Transferring personal information outside the EU/EEA
