Privacy Policy
Effective: 1st August 2022
Maintaining your privacy is really, really important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how Mailosaur collects, uses, and discloses personal data, and what choices you have with respect to that information. When we refer to “Mailosaur” (“us”, “we”), we mean Mailosaur Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales (#07999725) whose registered address is The Square, Basing View, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 4EB, United Kingdom. Mailosaur acts as the controller or processor of your information, as explained in more detail in the “Identifying the Data Controller and Processor” section below.
When we refer to “Personal Data”, we mean any information about an individual (“Data Subject”) from which that person may be identified, that is protected by the data protection laws of the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and other jurisdictions. It does not include any data or information from which any Data Subject’s identity has been removed.
The Data Subjects to which this Privacy Policy is relevant are persons whose Personal Data is incorporated within information collected by Mailosaur, or submitted to Mailosaur by the Customer (see “Information We Collect and Receive”) and which Mailosaur processes as part of the Services delivery. These Data Subjects may be employees, agents, sub-contractors or customers of the Customer; as well as persons who have been granted access to a Customer Account for the purpose of routine submission of Customer Content to Mailosaur in the course of using the Services on behalf of the Customers; and employees, agents or sub-contractors of the Customer who are the managerial contacts of the Customer in all of its dealings with Mailosaur.
Applicability Of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to any Personal Data that is processed by means of Mailosaur’s online software, testing tools and platform, including the associated Mailosaur mobile and desktop applications (collectively, the “Services”), mailosaur.com and other Mailosaur websites (collectively, the “Websites”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, webinars, conferences, etc.) with Mailosaur. If you are a Data Subject, your attention is drawn to the content of this Privacy Policy which is applicable to you.
The Policy relates to the overall agreement with each of Mailosaur’s customers (“Customer”) that governs delivery, access, and use of the Services (the “Terms of Service”), including the processing of any messages, files or other content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, “Customer Content”). Our Customer (who may be you, your employer, or another entity or person) that entered into the Terms of Service controls their access to the Services (their “Account”) and the use of any associated Customer Content. If you have any questions about specific Account settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Account you use.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through the Mailosaur platform (“Third-Party Services”), or any other third-party products, services, or businesses.
Information We Collect And Receive
Mailosaur may collect and receive Customer Content and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:
- Customer Content. Customers or individuals granted access to an Account by a Customer (“Authorized Users”) routinely submit Customer Content to Mailosaur when using the Services (e.g., electronic mail and SMS content for testing).
- Other Information. Mailosaur also collects, generates and/or receives Other Information:
- Account Information. To create or update an Account, you or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply Mailosaur with an email address, password, and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers that purchase a paid version of the Services provide Mailosaur (or its payment processors) with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address.
- Usage Information.
- Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata is generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work. For example, Mailosaur logs the Accounts, servers, users, features, content and links you interact with.
- Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
- Device information. Mailosaur collects information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this Other Information often depends on the type of device used and its settings.
- Location information. We receive information from you, your Customer and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Mailosaur may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
- Cookie Information. Mailosaur uses cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services that help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services. For more details about how we use these technologies, please see our Cookie Policy.
- Third Party Services. Customer may choose to permit or restrict Third Party Services for their Account. Typically, Third Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and a Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations for their Account. Once enabled, the provider of a Third Party Service may share certain information with Mailosaur. For example, if a Customer chooses to use Google authentication to register for our Services, we may receive user name and email address of Authorized Users, along with additional information that the application has elected to make available to Mailosaur to facilitate the integration. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to Mailosaur. When a Third Party Service is enabled, Mailosaur is authorized to connect and access Other Information made available to Mailosaur in accordance with our agreement with the Third Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
- Additional Information Provided to Mailosaur. We receive Other Information when submitted to our Websites or if you participate in a survey, contest, activity or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with Mailosaur.
Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Content or Other Information (collectively, “Information”) and no Data Subject is obliged by Mailosaur to supply any Personal Data unless he/she is subject to any obligation to do so by virtue of its relationship with any Customer. However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as Account setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.
How We Use Information
Customer Content will be used by Mailosaur in accordance with Customer instructions, including any applicable terms in the Terms of Service and the Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. However, Mailosaur is a processor of Personal Data and the Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the Services to grant and remove access to an Account, assign roles and configure settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customer Content and otherwise apply its policies to the Services.
Mailosaur uses Personal Data, which we may process on the basis of our Legitimate Interests in operating our Services, Websites and business, or on the basis of you having given your informed consent for us to do so (such as for direct marketing purposes). “Legitimate Interests” means the interest of our business in providing its Services to give our Customers the best and most secure experience. We ensure that we consider and balance any potential impact on Data Subjects whose Personal Data forms part of the Customer Content (both positive and negative) and the rights of Data Subjects before we process such Personal Data for our Legitimate Interests. We avoid using your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you, unless we have your consent or if we are otherwise permitted by law. You can obtain further information about how Mailosaur assesses its Legitimate Interests against any potential impacts on Data Subjects by contacting us at dpo@mailosaur.com.
More specifically, Mailosaur uses Other Information:
- To provide, update, maintain and protect our Services, Websites and business. This includes use of Other Information to support delivery of the Services under a Terms of Service, prevent or address service errors, security or technical issues, analyze and monitor usage, trends and other activities or at an Authorized User’s request.
- As required by applicable law, legal process or regulation.
- To communicate with you by responding to your requests, comments and questions. If you contact us, we may use your Other Information to respond.
- To develop and provide tools and additional features. Mailosaur tries to make the Services as useful as possible for specific Accounts and Authorized Users. For example, we may make Services suggestions based on historical use and predictive models, identify organizational trends and insights, to customize a Services experience or create new features and products.
- To send emails and other communications. We may send you service, technical and other administrative emails, messages and other types of communications. We may also contact you to inform you about changes in our Services, our Services offerings, and important Services-related notices, such as security and fraud notices. These communications are considered part of the Services and you may not opt out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails about new product features, promotional communications or other news about Mailosaur. These are marketing messages so you can control whether you receive them.
- For billing, account management and other administrative matters. Mailosaur may need to contact you for invoicing, account management and similar reasons and we use account data to administer accounts and keep track of billing and payments.
- To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.
If Information is aggregated, anonymised or de-identified so it is no longer capable of being reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person or constitutes Customer Content, Mailosaur may use it for any business purpose.
Data Retention
Mailosaur will retain Customer Content in accordance with a Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Terms of Service and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law.

The deletion of Customer Content and other use of the Services by Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain associated Other Information. For more detail, please contact dpo@mailosaur.com. Mailosaur may retain Other Information pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information after you have deactivated your account for the period of time needed for Mailosaur to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
