When you create a Best Lead Generation Account, you provide us with personal information that includes your name and a password. You can also choose to add a phone number or payment information to your account.

WHY BEST LEAD GENERATION COLLECTS DATA
We use data to build better services. We use the information we collect from all our services for the following purposes:
We use your information to deliver our services, like processing the terms you search for in order to return results or helping you share content by suggesting recipients from your contacts.
Maintain & improve our services
We also use your information to ensure our services are working as intended, such as tracking outages or troubleshooting issues that you report to us. And we use your information to make improvements to our services — for example, understanding which search terms are most frequently misspelled helps us improve spell-check features used across our services.
Develop new services
We use the information we collect in existing services to help us develop new ones.
Provide personalized services, including content and ads
Depending on your settings, we may also show you personalized ads based on your interests. You can control what information we use to show you ads by visiting your ad settings.
-
We don’t show you personalized ads based on sensitive categories, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.
-
We don’t share information that personally identifies you with advertisers, such as your name or email, unless you ask us to.
Measure performance
We use data for analytics and measurement to understand how our services are used. For example, we analyze data about your visits to our sites to do things like optimize product design. And we also use data about the ads you interact with to help advertisers understand the performance of their ad campaigns. We use a variety of tools to do this.
Communicate with you
We use information we collect, like your email address, to interact with you directly. For example, we may send you a notification if we detect suspicious activity, like an attempt to sign in to your Best Lead Generation account from an unusual location. Or we may let you know about upcoming changes or improvements to our services. And if you contact Best Lead Generation, we’ll keep a record of your request in order to help solve any issues you might be facing.
Protect Best Lead Generation, our users, and the public
We use information to help improve the safety and reliability of our services. This includes detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, security risks, and technical issues that could harm Best Lead Generation, our users, or the public.
We use different technologies to process your information for these purposes. We use automated systems that analyze your content to provide you with things like customized search results, personalized ads, or other features tailored to how you use our services. And we analyze your content to help us detect abuse such as spam, malware, and illegal content. We also use algorithms to recognize patterns in data.
We may combine the information we collect among our services and across your devices for the purposes described above. For example, if you watch videos of guitar players on YouTube, you might see an ad for guitar lessons on a site that uses our ad products. Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your personal information in order to improve Best Lead Generations’ services and the ads delivered by Best Lead Generation.
If other users already have your email address or other information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible Best Lead Generation account information, such as your name and photo. This helps people identify an email coming from you, for example.
We’ll ask for your consent before using your information for a purpose that isn’t covered in this Privacy Policy.

For legal reasons
We will share personal information outside of Best Lead Generation if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

We also allow specific partners to collect information from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies or similar technologies.
If Best Lead Generation is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we’ll continue to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We build security into our services to protect your information
All Best Lead Generation products are built with strong security features that continuously protect your information. The insights we gain from maintaining our services help us detect and automatically block security threats from ever reaching you. And if we do detect something risky that we think you should know about, we’ll notify you and help guide you through steps to stay better protected.
We work hard to protect you and Best Lead Generation from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold, including:
-
We use encryption to keep your data private while in transit
-
We offer a range of security features to help you protect your account
-
We review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems
-
We restrict access to personal information to Best Lead Generation employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
EXPORTING & DELETING YOUR INFORMATION
You can delete your information from your Best Lead Generation account at any time
In some cases, we retain data for limited periods when it needs to be kept for legitimate business or legal purposes. We try to ensure that our services protect information from accidental or malicious deletion. Because of this, there may be delays between when you delete something and when copies are deleted from our active and backup systems.

We regularly review this Privacy Policy and make sure that we process your information in ways that comply with it.
