Additionally, connecting your Gmail account via IMAP does not require you to connect any other Google Workspace applications.

We may also send you updates regarding our Customer Terms of Service or other legal agreements, and may also communicate with you about security incidents via email or in-app notification. 

We use your information to provide customer support, such as resolving technical issues you encounter and analyzing product outages or bugs. 

If you use the HubSpot mobile applications, we may send you push notifications from time to time in order to update you about events and promotions. If you no longer wish to receive such communications, you may turn them off at the device level.

We use your account information and Customer Data to provide the product and services to you.

We also use this information to authenticate you when you log in and to provide customer support.

c. To Improve and Develop Our Product and Services

We collect usage data about how you or your users interact with our product and services. We use this data to develop and improve our products and services.  For example, we use usage data to assess trends and usage across the product to help us determine what new features or integrations our users may be interested in. 

We use Customer Data for machine learning that supports certain products and development of features and functionality with the Subscription Service and similar products and services. For example, machine learning helps power the business card scanner tool if you use our mobile apps and allows for easier imports of data into your HubSpot account. You may opt-out of having your Customer Data used for machine learning by emailing privacy@hubspot.com. 

We may publish data about how our product and services are being used across our customer base. When we share statistical information externally in this way, the data will be aggregated and we will not identify individual users or customers.

We use your account information to investigate and help prevent security incidents. We may also use this information to meet legal requirements. We use your information to verify user accounts, new product sign-ups, and to detect and prevent product abuse. This includes enforcing our Acceptable Use Policy.  

We use log files to provide general statistics regarding use of the websites by you, including how you use our websites, what country you are logging in from (for analytics, export control and regulatory purposes) and to help improve the navigation experience. Your IP addresses are also collected and logged for security and debugging purposes, for example to track access patterns, investigate security events and incidents.

e. To Market and Promote the Subscription Service

We use the information you provide to HubSpot to market and promote the products, services, and other offerings. For example, we use the information, like your email or physical address, to send information or HubSpot content to you which we think may be of interest to you by post, email, or other means and send you marketing communications relating to our business.

You may opt out of receiving this promotional content by following the instructions contained in each communication that we send to you or by contacting us at privacy@hubspot.com. If you unsubscribe from our marketing lists, we will continue to contact you regarding administrative matters, and to respond to your requests.

You will be notified prior to the call that the call is being recorded, and you will be offered an opportunity to opt-out of having the call recorded.

Where required by law, we will only send marketing communications with your consent. Otherwise, we will market and advertise our products and services on the basis of our legitimate business interests.

We receive information from third party service providers and other sources such as third party providers of business information and publicly available sources.

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data from you.

If we ask you to provide Personal Data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Data is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Data). Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

3. How We Share Personal Data

In all cases where we share your information in this way, we explicitly require the third party service providers to acknowledge and adhere to our privacy and data protection policies and standards.

b. Partners 

We may share data with trusted HubSpot partners to contact you based on your request to receive such communications, help us perform statistical analysis, provide sales support, or provide customer support. Partners are prohibited from using your Personal Data except for these purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data.

We also partner with trusted third parties to provide you with co-marketing content that we think may be relevant to you. When you engage with these co-marketing partners, we will tell you who we are sharing data with, and provide a link to the co-marketing partner’s privacy policy so you can learn more about how to opt-out of the partner’s communications. These co-marketing partners are required to adhere to our privacy and data protection policies. For more information on our co-marketing program, see this page.

c. Corporate Events 

If we (or our assets) are acquired by another company, whether by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or otherwise, that company would receive all information gathered by HubSpot on the websites and the Subscription Service.

Our websites may offer publicly accessible message boards, blogs, and community forums (e.g. HubSpot Community and Connect.com).

We will correct or delete any information you have posted on the websites if you so request, as described in Section 7 "Your Privacy Rights and Choices" below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to and why.

e. Compelled Disclosure 

We reserve the right to use or disclose your Personal Data if required by law or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a law, court order, or legal process. If you use the Subscription Service, Customer Data is considered Confidential Information and you should review the Confidentiality terms in the Customer Terms of Service for more information.

This Privacy Policy will apply even if we transfer Personal Data to other countries. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Data will remain protected wherever it is transferred. When we share Personal Data of individuals in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), Switzerland or the United Kingdom ("UK") within and among HubSpot’s Affiliates, we rely upon the Standard Contractual Clauses (approved by the European Commission and Swiss authorities) and UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses (approved by the UK authorities) where required, as well as additional safeguards where appropriate (such as commercial industry standard secure encryption methods to protect customer data at rest and in transit, TLS for HubSpot hosted sites, web application firewall protection, and other appropriate contractual and organizational measures), as described more in detail here.

b. International Transfers to Third Parties

Some of the third parties described in this Privacy Policy, which provide services to us under contract, are based in other countries that may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws to the country in which you reside.

For transfers to or from the United Kingdom, we make use of the UK Addendum. For transfers to or from Canada, we make use of the standard contractual clauses. With respect to personal data received from or transferred to Canada, HubSpot is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Please contact us if you need more information about the legal mechanisms we rely on to transfer personal data outside the EEA, Switzerland, Canada, and UK.
