1. Overview
Stable USA Inc. obtains Personal Data about you from our various sources. “You” may be a visitor to one of our Sites (“Visitor”), or the end customer of a Visitor entering information on Your behalf (“End Customer”). All customers interacting with the Site (directly or indirectly) will be referred to collectively as “Users”.
2. Personal Data We Collect
Personal Data that we collect about you
Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and can include information about how you engage with our Services (e.g. device information, country). In many cases, the Personal Data that you provide directly to us through our Site will be apparent from the context in which you provide the data.
When you subscribe on our Site to receive the latest analysis from Stable via our insights, we collect the following data:
First name
Last name
Company
Email address
When you send us a message via the “Contact Us” feature on our Site, we collect the following data:
First name
Last name
Email address
When you respond to Stable USA Inc. emails or surveys, we collect your email address, name and any other information you choose to include in the body of your email or responses. If you contact us by phone, we will collect the phone number you use to call Stable USA Inc., as well as other information you may provide during the call. If you are a Stable USA Inc. account holder or End Customer, when you contact us, we may collect additional information in order to verify your identity. Creating an account directly is not a feature of our Site.
Once an account is created through our Platform, which is different from our Site and must be accessed with the assistance of our Risk Solutions Team, more personal data is collected from Users in connection with fraud monitoring, prevention, detection, and compliance activities for Stable. You may read the details of this data collection via our Platform, once you’re given the link to create an account.
You may also choose to submit information to us via other methods, including: (i) in response to marketing or other communications, (ii) through social media or online forums, (iii) through participation in an offer, program or promotion, (iv) in connection with an actual or potential business relationship with us, or (v) by giving us your business card or contact details in connection with trade shows or other events.
Information that we collect automatically on our Site and through marketing of our products
We use cookies for analytics, to deliver content or ads of interest or for other marketing purposes, and that cookie data may be disclosed to third party vendors for marketing and data analytics purposes. The tag collects a combination of IP address, cookie ID, and advertising ID (from mobile devices where available). The data stored in the cookie is the unique identifier of the user that gets deleted if the user clears their cookie.
We do use other technologies for analytics and marketing purposes, which record information. This information is not user-specific and cannot be pin-pointed to a single User. Some non-exhaustive examples of this non-User-specific information are:
Site visits and page views
Sources for visit (e.g. direct, via Google, via LinkedIn, via email click-through)
Devices used to visit (e.g. mobile, desktop, tablet)
Country of visit
We use Pardot, a Salesforce App, for our marketing purposes. To learn more about the privacy practices enforced by Salesforce, please visit their Privacy Policy.
3. How We Use Personal Data

This type of personal data is provided and used on our Platform, not our Site.
