PRIVACY
POLICY

Effective date: April 15, 2025

SJW Ventures, LLC ("InboxSmarts", "we", "us", or "our") operates inboxsmarts.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services. Please read it carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

  • Name and email address (when you submit a scan request or contact form)
  • Domain name (submitted for scanning)
  • Email sending volume and ESP platform (to tailor recommendations)
  • Any information you include in free-text fields

Information collected automatically

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring URL
  • Device type (desktop / mobile)

We use Cloudflare for hosting and security, which may collect access logs. We do not currently use third-party analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) but may add them in the future, at which point this policy will be updated.

DNS and domain data

When you submit a domain for scanning, we perform public DNS lookups (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, PTR records) and cross-reference your domain against public blacklist databases. This data is publicly available. We store the results to deliver your report and to improve our scanning accuracy over time.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To deliver your domain health report and any purchased services
  • To send you service-related emails (scan results, account updates)
  • To send you marketing emails if you opt in — you may unsubscribe at any time
  • To respond to support inquiries and contact form submissions
  • To improve our scanning technology and service quality
  • To comply with legal obligations

We will never sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Email Communications & CAN-SPAM Compliance

If you submit your email address through this site, you may receive transactional emails related to your scan or account, and (with your consent) marketing communications about InboxSmarts services. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and GDPR where applicable.

Our email platform is Klaviyo. Your email address and name may be stored in Klaviyo. You can review Klaviyo's privacy policy at klaviyo.com.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We share data only with the following categories of service providers, solely to operate our business:

  • Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and DDoS protection
  • Klaviyo — email marketing platform
  • Spiffy — payment processing and checkout
  • Calendly — appointment scheduling (if you book a call)

We do not share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or unaffiliated third parties.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Scan results are retained for 12 months. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing privacy@inboxsmarts.com.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EEA users)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@inboxsmarts.com.

7. Security

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

InboxSmarts is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have done so inadvertently, please contact us immediately at privacy@inboxsmarts.com.

9. Changes to This Policy
