In this policy, we lay out: • What data we collect and why
• How your data is handled
• Your rights with respect to your data
We never sell your data.What we collect and why
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here’s what that means in practice:
Identity and access
When you sign up for an Arthur Maxwell, Inc. product, we ask for identifying information such as your name, email address, and company name. That’s so you can personalize your new account, and we can send you product updates and other essential information. We may also send you optional surveys from time to time to help us understand how you use our products and to make improvements. With your consent, we will send you our newsletter and other updates.
We’ll never sell your personal information to third parties, and we won’t use your name or company in marketing statements without your permission.
Billing Information
If you sign up for an Arthur Maxwell, Inc. product, you will be asked to provide your payment information and billing address. Credit card information is submitted directly to our payment processor and doesn’t hit the Arthur Maxwell, Inc. servers.
Product interactions
We store on our servers the content that you upload or receive or maintain in your Arthur Maxwell Inc. product accounts. This is so you can use our products as intended, for example, to create experiences in ExperienceBuilder®. We keep this content as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we’ll delete the content within 60 days.
General Geolocation data
We log the full IP address used to sign up a product account and retain that for use in mitigating future spammy signups. We also log all account access by full IP address for security and fraud prevention purposes, and we keep this login data for as long as your product account is active.
Website Interactions
We collect information about your browsing activity for analytics and statistical purposes such as conversion rate testing and experimenting with new product designs. This includes, for example, your browser and operating system versions, your IP address, which web pages you visited and how long they took to load and which website referred you to us. If you have an account and are signed in, these web analytics data are tied to your IP address and user account until your account is no longer active. The web analytics we use are described further in the Advertising and Cookies section.
Advertising and Cookies
Arthur Maxwell, Inc. occasionally runs ads on various third-party platforms such as Google. Users who click on one of our ads will be sent to the ExperienceBuilder marketing site. Where permissible under law, we may load an ad-company script on their browsers that sets a third-party cookie and sends information to the ad network to enable evaluation of the effectiveness of our ads, e.g., which ad they clicked and which keyword triggered the ad, and whether they performed certain actions such as clicking a button or submitting a form.
We also use persistent first-party cookies and some third-party Cookies to store certain preferences, make it easier for you to use our applications, and perform A/B testing as well as support some analytics.
A cookie is a piece of text stored by your browser. It may help remember login information and site preferences. It might also collect information such as your browser type, operating system, web pages visited, duration of visit, content viewed, and other click-stream data. You can adjust cookie retention settings and accept or block individual Cookies in your browser settings, although our apps wont’ work and other aspects of our service may not function properly if you turn cookies off.
Voluntary correspondence
When you submit a help request within one of our products or email us directly with a support question or to ask for help, we keep that correspondence, including your email address, so that we have a history of past correspondence to reference if you reach out in the future.
We also store information you may volunteer, for example, written responses to surveys. If you agree to a Customer interview, we may ask for your permission to record the conversation for future reference or use. We will only do so with your express consent.
When we access or disclose your information
To provide products or services you’ve requested. We use some third-party sub processors to help run our applications and provide the Services to you. You can find the third-party sub processors we use for ExperienceBuilder in our
Security Overview.
We may disclose your information at your direction if you integrate a third-party service into your use of our products.
No Arthur Maxwell, Inc. human looks at your content except for limited purposes with your express permission, for example, if an error occurs that stops an automated process from working and requires manual intervention to fix. These are rare cases, and when they happen we look for root cause solutions as much as possible to avoid them recurring. We may also access your data if required in order to respond to legal process (see “When required under applicable law” below).
To exclude you from seeing our ads.
Where permissible by law and if you have an ExperienceBuilder account, we may disclose a one-way hash of your email address with ad companies to exclude you from seeing our ads.
To help you troubleshoot or squash a software bug, with your permission.
If at any point we need to address your content to help you with a support case, we will ask for your consent before proceeding.
To investigate, prevent, or take action regarding restricted uses.
Accessing a customer’s account when investigating potential abuse is a measure of last resort. We want to protect the privacy and safety of both our customers and the people reporting issues to us, and we do our best to balance those responsibilities throughout the process. If we discover you are using our products for a restricted purpose, we will take action as necessary, including notifying appropriate authorities were warranted.
To provide account or content services.
Upon your request, we may assign an Arthur Maxwell, Inc. person as a team member on your account in order to render services. Again, this would be upon your request.
Aggregated and de-identified data.
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. We may use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose, including marketing analytics.
