to conduct market research;

to objectively rank one sales lead against another by using lead scoring to evaluate criteria such as job title, industry, and engagement with Myfacesocks marketing activities and website. Myfacesocks's lead scoring is used exclusively to decide whether the sales department will make sales calls and/or conduct sales activities in relationship to you.

Location is considered for internal Myfacesocks territory assignment. Myfacesocks does not consider gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation as part of its lead scoring process.

The legal bases for processing personal data are the following:

 

for purpose (a): to fulfil legal obligations

for purpose (b) and (c): to enter into a contract with you to provide customer services as a user or, at your request, to take pre-contractual measures
