Outreach Privacy Notice

Version 1.0

This notice is for people at other businesses whom we contacted by email about payed.me. If you use payed.me, our Privacy Policy covers you instead.

Who we are

Invatechs Ltd, trading as payed.me, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 13176452), registered office Blue Tower, MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Salford, England, M50 2ST. We are the controller of the data described here. Contact us at support@payed.me. Our outreach emails are sent from the address ivan@go.payedme.com.

What data we hold

• Your name, job title or role, and work email address.
• Your company's name, website, and registration and status details.
• A record of our outreach: which emails we sent and when, any replies, and whether you have opted out.

Where we got it

Your name, role and work email come from Apollo (ZenLeads, Inc., trading as Apollo.io, USA), a business contact database. We check your company's details against Companies House and your company's own website.

Why we use it

To contact decision-makers at small agencies about payed.me as a tool for their business. We also use it to check your business fits who we are looking for, to handle your replies, and to make sure we never contact you again once you ask us to stop.

Our lawful basis

We rely on our legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in finding business customers. We have weighed that against your interests and kept the outreach small:

• we contact one person per company, chosen for their role, at a work address;
• we send at most four emails, and stop as soon as you reply;
• you can opt out at any time, and once you do we will not contact you again;
• we hold only the minimum listed above.

You did not sign up for these emails, and we do not rely on consent. You can ask us for a copy of our legitimate interests assessment.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data. These service providers store or process it for us:

• Automeek CRM, built on HighLevel (LeadConnector), which stores our contact records and sends the emails;
• HighLevel's own providers, including Google Cloud andAmazon Web Services (hosting and storage) and Mailgun and Twilio (email delivery).

International transfers

Your data is stored and processed in the United States. HighLevel protects these transfers with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and states that it is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension. Email us for more information or a copy of these safeguards.

How long we keep it

• If you do not reply, we review your record 90 days after our last email and delete it unless there is a continuing business reason to keep it.
• If you reply with interest, you become an ordinary business contact.
• If you opt out, we keep only your email address or company domain and the date, on a suppression list, so we never contact you again. We review that list periodically.

Your rights

You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing: if you object, we stop. You can also ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, or to restrict how we use it. Reply to any of our emails or write to support@payed.me, and we will respond within one month.

You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (0303 123 1113). We would appreciate the chance to put things right first, but you do not have to contact us before going to the ICO.

How to opt out

Reply "no thanks" (or anything that tells us to stop), click the unsubscribe link in any of our emails, or email support@payed.me. After that you will get no further emails from us, and we will not add you again.

Automated decisions

We make no decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects. We only filter contacts by company type and role.

Tracking

We do not track whether you open our emails or click their links, and our links carry no tracking parameters.

If you are in the United States

The same applies to you. You can opt out by replying or with the unsubscribe link in any email; it takes one step, costs nothing and asks for nothing beyond your email address. Every email gives our name and postal address. The providers named above process your data in the United States.

Changes

If we change how we handle outreach data, we will update this page first, with a new version number and date, and summarise what changed here.
