Acxiom Mexico privacy policy

Acxiom has two primary lines of business. One is a broad line of data management services to help our clients efficiently manage their customer and potential customers’ information. The second line of business is a suite of data products that focus on marketing. Clients use Acxiom’s marketing data products to better market to their existing and prospective customers. 

Acxiom collects business and consumer information, including name, address, telephone number and other related information. Acxiom enhances the basic contact information on consumers with Mexican census and other demographic data.

Acxiom’s Mexican data products contain only the information required for the intended use. Acxiom’s data products are designed for a specific use by our clients that have a legitimate need for the product.

Products for Marketing and Advertising Purposes: These products contain information about individuals and households in Mexico and are developed from multiple sources, including:

• Public record and publicly available information: Examples include telephone directory records
• Data from other information providers (sometimes called “data brokers”):
  Examples include demographic information, consumer contact information, information based on responses to surveys and questionnaires as well as information concerning interests associated with mobile advertising identifiers; all collected by the sources with appropriate notice regarding what information is collected, why it is being used, and with whom it is being shared. Acxiom also collects summarized or aggregated purchase information and other aggregated or anonymous information.

Acxiom’s marketing and advertising products do not include specific details about a purchase, detailed financial information, credit information, information revealing a person’s physical or mental health condition or National ID (CURP).

Collection and Use of Geo-Location Data: Acxiom does not collect “movement data” as that term is generally understood in marketing. We do not track where a person is, or has been from moment to moment (i.e., device ID, latitude, and longitude plus timestamp in five minute or less increments). We do collect information related to visits to commercial locations, such as restaurants, retail stores, and car dealerships from third parties that utilize geo-location data (e.g., pseudonymous device ID plus “visits fast food restaurants”). We do not collect information related visits to sensitive locations such as places of worship, domestic abuse shelters, drug and alcohol treatment centers or reproductive health clinics.

Acxiom only uses personally identifiable information such as name, address, email address or phone number internally for matching purposes. Acxiom sells pseudonymous device ID associated with information it has collected to our third-party clients for their business and commercial purposes.  More specifically, Acxiom licenses such pseudonymous information to our clients or, in some cases to marketing agencies working on behalf of our clients, to enable more relevant marketing and advertising campaigns. Some such marketing agencies are related companies to Acxiom. Acxiom also offers clients the ability to enhance their own customer files by appending demographic data to customer records.

Acxiom does not collect identifiable information concerning anyone younger than 18. We collect household information related to minors younger than 18 in creating additional insights solely related to the adult parent of the minor individual, (for example, attributes such as “presence of children” and “child age ranges”). However, Acxiom does not disclose identifiable information about the minor as part of the insights created and included within the adult record.

Acxiom’s marketing products are used by qualified companies and non-profit organizations in their marketing, fundraising, customer service, and constituent service and outreach programs. Acxiom does not provide services or data to individual consumers. Acxiom’s clients use our marketing and advertising products to provide customers with better service, improved offerings, and special promotions.

Additional Terms and Conditions: For a company to use Acxiom’s products and services, it is required to enter a contract with us. The terms of these contracts further govern the use of personal information Acxiom collects and maintains.

In addition to disclosures of information in the ordinary course of business, we may disclose personal information as necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to respond to law enforcement or a regulator, such as in response to a subpoena.

Offshoring: Where permitted by law, third parties under contract to Acxiom may have access to the information in Acxiom’s marketing and advertising data products to assist in processing the data. Some of these third-party contractors may reside outside of Mexico.

Categories of Service Providers with Whom Personal Information is Disclosed for a Business Purpose

Cloud computing and storage vendors; security contractors; consultants, analytic service providers, marketing analytics platforms; programmatic advertising marketplaces/platforms; premium social publishers; measurement platforms; onboarding partners; and ad tech partners (e.g., Adsquare)
