COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Through your interactions with the Platform, Maritz collects "personal information," which is information that identifies an individual or relates to an identified individual. Non-personal information means information that does not directly identify an individual. We collect both types of information about you.

The following provides some examples of the type of data that we collect from you:

Context

Types of Data and Purpose for Collection

We may use cookies and clear GIFs. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your device while you are viewing a website.  Among other things, cookies allow us to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience and to improve our marketing efforts. If you choose to disable cookies some areas or features of our websites may not work properly.

Demographic Information

We may collect personal information from you, such as your age, photo, or location.

Digital Fingerprinting

We may from time to time use digital fingerprinting technologies in an effort to protect and ensure the integrity of our Platform. In general, digital fingerprinting technologies assign a unique identifier or "Machine-ID" to a user’s computer to identify and track the computer’s survey activity. Maritz will not use digital fingerprinting technology to collect personal information, or track the online activities of the user of a computer, and will not disrupt or interfere with the use or control of a computer or alter, modify or change the settings or functionality of a computer. The technology will analyze publicly available information and data obtained from the computer’s web browser and from other publicly available data points, including without limitation the technical settings of the computer, the characteristics of the computer, and the computer’s IP address, to create a unique identifier assigned to the computer. The unique identifiers are typically alpha-numeric IDs and after creating the unique identifier, Maritz does not retain the information analyzed by the technology to create the unique identifier.

Geo-Location Information

When you use one of our Applications or a badge or device provided by Maritz, we may collect your location using GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular technology, Radio-frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon technology, or other similar location-tracking technologies.  Maritz may capture proximity and duration information for providing personalized products and services, demographic analysis, or behavioral analysis. Such information, and any derived information, may be shared with third parties that have a relationship with Maritz.

That advertising may appear either on our websites, or on other websites.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Maritz has implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures to help protect the personal information Maritz collects from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

You can make the following choices regarding your personal information:

CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Maritz may transfer your personal information to Maritz’s entities in the United States, or to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy that are located in various countries around the world. By using Maritz’s Platform, or providing any personal information to Maritz, where applicable law permits, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage or such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different. When Maritz collects information in one country, and transfers it to another, to the extent possible it applies the same level of data protection required under the laws in the first country even when the data is in the second country.

Maritz safeguards and enables the global transfer of personal information in a number of ways. The following describes some of the protections that are taken with regard to data originating from certain countries:
