By means of this Privacy Policy, Aircall provides you with information about how it uses Personal Data as a Data Controller.
About this Privacy Policy
Aircall uses your Personal Data as a Data Controller —on its own behalf— in the following situations:
- If you use Aircall product and Services that require an Aircall account (we further call you “Aircall User”), Aircall will process some of your Personal Data as a Data Controller under certain circumstances described below. An Aircall User is typically a representative or an employee of Aircall’s Customer or of a prospect (a company that is in the process of becoming Aircall’s Customer) who acts as our Customer’s agent. If you are an Aircall User, Sections 1 and 4—11 apply to Aircall’s processing of your Personal Data. Also, Aircall likely processes, acting as a Data Processor, your Personal Data for other purposes than those stated herein. For more information about such processing (as well as for exercising your rights related to Personal Data Processing) you should contact the corresponding Aircall Customer.
- You simply visit the Site (we further call you “Site Visitor”) without being logged into your Aircall account, in case you are also an Aircall User. If you are a Site Visitor, Sections 2 and 4—11 apply to Aircall’s processing of your Personal Data.
- You showed interest in Aircall's product or services and agreed to be listed as a contact in our marketing database (we further call you a "Lead"). If you are a Lead, Sections 3 and 4—11 apply to Aircall’s processing of your Personal Data.
Aircall is a global service provider and, correspondingly, it collects Personal Data in different locations globally and from individuals across the globe. Thus, different privacy (personal data protection) laws apply to Aircall’s usage of your Personal Data. Aircall strives to follow the highest standards of protection of your personal data, respecting, on the other hand, local differences in applicable regulation. This Privacy Policy applies to Aircall’s processing of Personal Data globally.
Unless otherwise provided herein, all terms starting with a capital letter shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Aircall’s Terms of Use.
If this Privacy Policy does not answer all your questions or concerns, you may also consult our Privacy FAQs: https://aircall.io/privacy-faqs/

3. Lead's Personal Data Processing: Sales and Marketing
Who is the Data Controller? When we conduct our email marketing campaigns and outbound sales development activities (email and calling), as described in this chapter, all Aircall companies typically participate in them and act as Joint Controllers.
Our email communication will always include identification of Aircall company leading our marketing activity in your region (Aircall SAS in Europe, Middle East, and Asia; Aircall.io, Inc. in North America; and Aircall PTY LTD in Australia). Other Aircall companies may participate, based on internal agreement between them, in the processing of your Personal Data within our email marketing campaigns and outbound sales development activities as follows:
- Aircall companies participate in creation of the email communication content and design;
- Aircall companies share the touchpoint for requests and complaints regarding the processing of your Personal Data in relation to Aircall's outbound sales development and marketing activities, whereby your requests and complaints are typically handled by Aircall SAS;
- Aircall companies jointly administer and share database used for Aircall's outbound sales development and marketing purposes; and
- Each Aircall company may enter into agreement with Aircall's business partners to enrich the shared database.
How do we collect your Personal Data? If we contact you with an email marketing campaign and/or as a part of our outbound sales development activities, it means we have your contact details listed in our database for these purposes. We collect contact details for our database from the following sources:
- Aircall's internal customer database: If you are Aircall's customer, we automatically add you to our database for email marketing communication, as we believe that you are interested in news about Aircall's product, services, events and other content.
- Forms on Aircall's Site: You have the option to sign up for our email marketing campaigns and outbound sales development activities via various forms on Aircall's Site, including when you register for a webinar or event hosted by Aircall or where Aircall participates, and via support chat bot on the Site.
- Social networks: We may find your contact on a work-related social network, such as LinkedIn.
- Campaigns co-organized by Aircall: We also receive your contact when you participate in a marketing campaign co-organized by Aircall and its business partners.
- Data-enrichment tools and providers: Where local data protection laws allow and where we find a reliable data-enrichment tool provider, we may also receive some of your contact details. Every provider used by Aircall for this purpose is subject to Aircall's privacy team assessment to make sure we collect your data ethically and in compliance with applicable laws.
What should you do if you want us to stop contacting you as a Lead? You can find an "Unsubscribe" link in every email marketing communication sent by Aircall. Using this link is a reliable way to make sure we do not contact you with marketing emails anymore. Please note that it may take us up to 3 working days to process your "Unsubscribe" choice, so you may receive other marketing emails from us in the meantime. Thank you for understanding.
If we call you as a part of Aircall's outbound sales development activities, you can inform our outbound sales representative that you do not wish to be contacted in this way anymore at any time. We will make sure not to call you again.
Which Personal Data do we use? When we process your data as a Lead, we use, all or just some, depending on your particular circumstance, of the following Personal Data: name, email, phone number, company and job title, region/country, and/or IP address. We also use certain data about your company, such as company size, CRM, and whether or your company is an Aircall Customer.

We retain Personal Data when we have an ongoing legal basis to do so. When we no longer have legal basis to process Personal Data, we will either delete or aggregate it or, if this is not possible (for example, because Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We may retain Personal Data to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations. In any case, upon ceasing or lifting of such obligations, Personal Data shall be removed from our systems and records, as well as that of our subcontractors, if any, or otherwise archived or anonymized so that they can no longer be identified.

Personal Data can also be processed by mere access by individuals working outside Europe who work for us or for one of our trusted service providers (Data Processors).
We have implemented suitable safeguards designed to transfer Personal Data outside Europe in a secure manner and in compliance with the applicable regulations, most significantly with the GDPR. We also require the importers of the Personal Data to comply with, above all, security requirements of the GDPR. We execute appropriate contractual arrangements to deal with such transfers, namely the standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission of the European Union and, following a thorough assessment, additional measures as required by European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) Recommendation no. 1/2020.
