Other Websites

The Sites may contain links to other websites, including links that are placed there by us, such as third-party products or services or text hyperlinks. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other website. We encourage all users of the Sites to be aware of when they leave the Sites, and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that collects personal data. This privacy notice applies solely to data collected by the Sites.


Cookies

We use cookies and other data collection technology to recognize you and/or your device(s) when you use the Sites and collect personal data about you.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer’s hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain data about your computer or device, such as settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Sites.

Mursion also uses “pixels” (sometimes called web beacons). Pixels are transparent images that can collect data about email opens and website usage across websites and over time.

Cookies that Mursion sets on the Sites are called first-party cookies. Cookies set on the Sites by any other party are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the Sites, such as analytics and marketing automation. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you use it to access the Sites and also when you use it to visit certain other websites.

To learn more about cookies generally, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you prefer to prevent third-parties from setting and accessing cookies on your computer, you may set your browser to block cookies. Please note, blocking cookies may affect the functioning of the Sites.  Additionally, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here.

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser blocks that website from collecting certain data from the browser cache. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many website operators, including Mursion, do not yet respond to DNT signals.

Why does Mursion use cookies and other tracking technology?

Some cookies are required for the Sites to operate. Other cookies enable us to track the interests of users for targeted advertising and to enhance the experience of the Sites.

Data collection technology enables Mursion to monitor the traffic patterns from one webpage to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether users visit the Sites after seeing our online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve performance of the Sites and to measure the success of our email marketing campaigns.

Your Cookie Choices

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies through Mursion’s cookie consent. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is set. (Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them but note that some features of the Sites may not work properly without cookies.)

Google Analytics

We also want to make sure you are aware that, where permitted by applicable law, mursion.com uses Google Analytics for targeted advertising (which Google sometimes refers to as ‘remarketing’). Google uses cookies that Google recognizes when consumers visit various websites. The data collected through Google’s cookies helps Mursion analyze how cookies are used and, for the Sites and in some jurisdictions, to personalize marketing communications and digital advertising.

For more information about how Google collects, uses and shares your data, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy and for more information about how Google uses cookies in advertising, please visit Google’s Advertising page.
To prevent Google Analytics from using your data, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on. To opt out of ads on Google that are targeted to your interests, use your Google Ads settings.

If you are located in the EEA, Switzerland or UK, please note in particular that, if you allow Google’s cookies in Mursion’s cookie consent, the data generated by those cookies about use of the Sites is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.  On behalf of Mursion, Google will use these data to compile reports that help Mursion operate and provide the Sites.


Clickstream Data

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic data is left at each web site you visit. This data, which is sometimes referred to as “Clickstream Data,” can be collected and stored by a web site’s server. Clickstream Data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the web site from which you linked to the Sites. We may use Clickstream Data as a form of non-personal data to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of the Sites, how visitors navigate throughout the Sites, how to Improve the Sites, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors.


Our Commitment to Security

We have in place the appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the data we collect. While we implement these and other security measures on our Sites, please note that no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You play a role in protecting your data as well. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any data you transmit to us, and you understand that any data that you transfer to us is done at your own risk.

If we become aware of a breach that affects the security of your personal data, we will provide you with notice as required by applicable law. When permitted by applicable law, Mursion will provide this notice to you through the email address associated with your account or other permitted method associated with your account.

UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA AND THE SITES – INCLUDING SCRAPING – IS PROHIBITED AND MAY LEAD TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.


Public Posting Areas

Please note that any data you include in a message you post to any public posting area is available to anyone with internet access. If you don’t want people to know your email address, for example, don’t include it in any message you post publicly. PLEASE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DISCLOSING ANY DATA IN PUBLIC POSTING AREAS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE BY OTHERS OF THE DATA THAT YOU DISCLOSE IN PUBLIC POSTING AREAS.


Record Retention Policy

We will retain your data for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it is collected and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.


Reorganization

In the unlikely event of a direct or indirect reorganization process including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, bankruptcies, and sales of all or a part of our assets, we may disclose your personal data following completion of such transaction and/or during the assessment process pending transfer. If transferred in such a case, the purchaser will abide by the terms and conditions of this privacy notice.


Financial Incentives

We may offer various financial incentives from time to time. The terms of the financial incentive will be provided at the time you sign up for the financial incentive. You may withdraw from any of the financial incentives. In calculating these offers, we consider the expenses related to the offer and the value of your data.


International Users

If you are visiting the Sites from a location outside of the United States, your connection will be through and to servers located in the United States and all data you provide will be processed and securely maintained in our web servers and internal systems located within the United States. IN ADDITION, IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT YOUR DATA WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL LAW. We may also transfer your personal data across borders, from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions in accordance with legal requirements.

If your personal data are transferred across borders by Mursion or on Mursion’s behalf, Mursion uses appropriate safeguards to protect personal data. We primarily use European Union Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers from the European Union, the EEA, and Switzerland to countries outside the EEA. We primarily use the International Data Transfer Agreement for data transfers from the UK to countries outside the UK. For transfers between other jurisdictions, we may rely on other legal mechanisms for international transfer, as appropriate under the relevant law. Users of the Sites located in countries outside of the United States of America who submit personal data do thereby consent to the general use of such data as provided in this privacy notice and to the transfer of that data to and/or storage of the data in the United States of America.

In your request, please make clear what personal data you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your personal data suppressed from our database or other limitations you would like to put on our use of your personal data.  For your protection, we may need to verify your identity and geographic residency before fulfilling your request. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and within the time periods required by applicable law.

Please note that we often need to retain certain personal data for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transaction that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. When you provide personal data through the Sites, we maintain your personal data for our records only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it is collected and in accordance with legal obligations. We may not delete certain personal data for legal reasons.

To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. In some circumstances, certain California residents may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on their behalf. Note that we may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized to act on behalf of another individual.

The legal bases for our processing of your personal data depend on the context in which the personal data is collected and processed. Generally, we only collect personal data when we need the personal data to perform a contract with you, when we have consent to do so (which consent you can withdraw at any time using the contact information above or when the processing is in our legitimate business interests and not overridden by the privacy or other fundamental rights and freedoms of users (such as when we process personal data to prevent fraudulent use of the Sites).

In some cases, we also may have a legal obligation to collect personal data from users. If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether providing your personal data is mandatory and the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data.

Similarly, if we collect and use personal data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third-party), this interest is typically to provide the Sites and communicate with you about the Sites and for our legitimate commercial interests, such as responding to queries, improving the Sites, advising users about new features or maintenance or undertaking marketing activities. We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate we will make clear our legitimate interests at the relevant time.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal data, please contact us using the contact details provided below.
