General

Acxiom’s Business

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. These lines of business are described in more detail below.

Acxiom’s Data Management Services 

We provide solutions to help our business clients manage, use, and optimize their customer data and to help them identify and reach potential new customers using analytical tools and marketing and advertising strategy services. Stated differently, we design, build, and run processes for our business clients to help them manage their data, and we provide the tools and resources to help our clients better understand their customers and identify potential customers who are similar to their best customers.  Our data management services help our clients implement marketing lifecycle improvements, new ways to connect with consumers, and website experience optimization. When we provide data management services, we process our clients’ and their partners’ information according to contracts with our clients. In that capacity, we are acting as a service provider, sometimes called a processor. 

Acxiom’s Marketing Data Products 

Acxiom’s marketing products are used by qualified companies, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and political organizations in their marketing, fundraising, customer service, and constituent service and outreach programs. Acxiom does not provide services or data to individual consumers.  Our marketing products are used to enhance customer and constituent files and to provide lists for prospecting and fundraising purposes. Acxiom’s clients use our marketing and advertising products to offer goods and services through various advertising channels and to provide customers and prospects with better service, improved offerings, and special promotions. 

For a company to use Acxiom’s products and services, it is required to enter into a contract with us.  The terms of those contracts govern the use of personal information Acxiom collects, processes, sells, shares and discloses to clients. 

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. 

Personal Information Collection and Use

Acxiom’s data products contain only the information required for its 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 the U.S. and are developed from many sources, including: 

  • Public record and publicly available information: Examples include real property recorder records and assessor records 
  • Data from other information providers (sometimes called “data brokers”)
    Examples include demographic information, consumer contact information, surveys, and questionnaires 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 information. 

The Acxiom marketing and advertising products we license to clients do not include specific details about a purchase, detailed financial information, credit information, or information identifying or revealing a person’s past, present, or future, physical or mental health condition.  Where permitted by law, Acxiom’s marketing and advertising products may include information such as date of birth, race, ethnicity and religious affiliation.  Also, where permitted by law, we license Social Security numbers regarding deceased U.S. citizens (“Limited Access Deathmaster File”), primarily to suppress recently deceased individuals from pending marketing campaigns and for use by financial institutions to confirm and facilitate beneficiary benefits.     

Collection and Use of Minor Data:  We will not disclose identifiable information on anyone younger than 18 to third parties for use in marketing solicitations.  We do use information related to minors younger than 18 to identify and remove records about them from our and our clients’ marketing files.  We also use information related to minors younger than 18 in creating additional insights solely related to the adult parent of the minor individual, (for example, Acxiom creates a flag that denotes “presence of children” and attributes such as “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.   

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 (e.g., pseudonymous device ID, latitude and longitude, timestamp and duration of visit).  We do not collect information related to visits to sensitive locations such as places of worship, domestic abuse shelters, drug and alcohol treatment centers or reproductive health clinics. 

Collection and Use of Deidentified Data:  Acxiom collects deidentified information (as that term is defined in applicable US statutes) that are used to build our marketing models.  Acxiom commits to maintain and use such information in its deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information.      

Collection and Use of Retail Purchase Data: Acxiom collects individually identifiable information regarding retail purchases at a granular level (i.e., at a “SKU”- level) for internal uses such as creating modeled audiences and campaign measurement. Acxiom aggregates the granular data to deliver identifiable retail purchase information at category levels (e.g., “health & beauty products,” “clothing,” “electronics”) to third parties.

Use of Artificial Intelligence.  Acxiom may use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its data products.  Information about individuals and households in the U.S. may be used in our AI initiatives.

  • Model Creation: Our data may be used to train new AI models, enabling us to develop innovative solutions and address evolving client needs.
  • Model Calibration: Our data may be used to calibrate AI models, ensuring their accuracy.
  • Model Optimization: We may use our data to improve the performance and efficiency of our AI models, leading to better insights and predictions.

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 service providers or contractors may reside outside the United States. 

Disclosure and Sale of Personal Information

During the last year, Acxiom has sold personal information it has collected to our clients and others, including ad tech partners, for their business and commercial purposes.  More specifically, Acxiom licenses personal information to third parties for the purpose of enabling and improving their marketing and advertising campaigns; from identifying potentially interested consumers to measuring the effectiveness of the marketing and advertising campaign.  We also license personal information for the purpose of identity recognition and resolution services (i.e., recognizing different records as relating to the same person) and marketing analytics, including the creation of marketing and propensity models through human and computerized analytics.  Acxiom does not sell personal information to individual consumers. 

During the last year, Acxiom has disclosed personal information to service providers and contractors (e.g., cloud computing and storage vendors; security contractors, and consultants), for Acxiom’s own operational business purposes. 

Acxiom does not sell personal information about consumers younger than 18 for the purpose of marketing or advertising directly to the minor.  Acxiom does use personal information from minors younger than 18 to suppress matching records from marketing lists and to facilitate identity recognition and resolution.   

Acxiom does not engage in profiling or automated decisioning in furtherance of “decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.”

Other Important Information

European Union Model Contracts: As a global company, Acxiom complies with many countries’ privacy laws. Acxiom maintains an industry-recognized leadership role in consumer privacy. Acxiom has executed EU and UK approved standard contractual clauses with its EU and UK affiliates to ensure ongoing compliance with the international transfer principle as set out in the EU and UK’s General Data Protection Regulation. 

Accuracy: Acxiom maintains quality control procedures to ensure the information we compile and process is as accurate and complete as possible. Acxiom responds promptly to questions from clients and consumers about the accuracy of information. 

Security: Acxiom maintains security procedures designed to keep information we own, license and process from being accessed by any unauthorized person or business. We use a variety of multi-level security systems to control access to our services and data products. All users at client locations, as well as all Acxiom associates, must have the appropriate access credentials and be authorized to access certain data and applications. 

Acxiom conducts risk assessments and regular audits on our internal and external information systems to assess our ability to maintain the integrity of client and Acxiom data. Our enterprise security operations center maintains real-time monitoring for information system vulnerabilities and unauthorized access attempts into our internal systems. We also maintain physical security for our facilities and limit access to certain critical areas of our business. 

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that our security procedures are adequate for the protection of our computer systems and data, but this does not eliminate the possibility that our security will be breached. If a security breach causes Acxiom leadership to believe individual consumers are at actual risk for identity theft or other fraudulent activities that may cause substantial harm or inconvenience to consumers or if such breach otherwise requires public notification, Acxiom will post a security alert notice on our website (www.acxiom.com) that will provide relevant information for consumers and Acxiom clients to consider to protect against fraudulent and other harmful actions that may result from the unauthorized access. 

Compliance: Acxiom participates in industry efforts to establish fair and workable guidelines above and beyond current laws and regulations and believes such actions are an effective way to protect privacy in the marketplace. We also support legislation and regulatory efforts to introduce fair and workable guidelines that protect privacy of consumers. 

We actively work to ensure that such guidelines are consistent with and complement established self-regulatory measures and that they enable the consumer to continue receiving the benefits that appropriate information use provide. 

When Acxiom provides data management services to our clients, we process their information in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Some of the services we provide companies such as financial institutions and healthcare organizations are governed by laws including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, the USA PATRIOT Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. In these and similar situations, Acxiom works closely with our clients to ensure the processing we perform is in accordance with all the laws governing those activities. 

Awareness: Acxiom is committed to privacy education. We provide education to our clients, our associates, and consumers about the issues, guidelines and laws surrounding individual consumer privacy issues, corresponding responsibilities and Acxiom’s privacy policies and practices. Acxiom provides education and consultation to clients about privacy compliance and about the laws and industry guidelines that protect consumers. Acxiom representatives speak at various events and emphasize the importance of responsible data collection and use. 

Privacy Policy Changes: From time to time Acxiom may update and revise our privacy policy based on changes in our business environment and changes to applicable law. We urge consumers and clients to periodically visit our website to understand any changes that may have occurred. 

Our privacy policy contains an “effective date” reflecting when the last changes occurred.

Lastly, Acxiom does not collect sensory information such as voice, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar sensory information.

Disclosure and Sale of Personal Information

During the last year, Acxiom has sold personal information it has collected to our third-party clients for their business and commercial purposes. More specifically, Acxiom licenses personal information to our clients for the purpose of enabling and improving marketing and advertising campaigns from identifying potentially interested consumers to measuring the effectiveness of the marketing and advertising campaign. We also license personal information for the purpose of identity recognition and resolution services and marketing analytics. Acxiom does not sell personal information to individual consumers.

During the last year, Acxiom has disclosed personal information to service providers (e.g., cloud computing and storage vendors; security contractors, and consultants), for Acxiom’s own operational business purposes.

Acxiom does not sell personal information about consumers younger than 18 for the purpose of marketing or advertising directly to the minor. Acxiom does use personal information from minors younger than 18 to suppress matching records from marketing lists.

Acxiom does not engage in profiling in furtherance of “decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.”

Right to Correct and Delete Personal Information

Right to Non-Discrimination

Various state privacy laws protect consumers who exercise their rights from discrimination. Acxiom will not discriminate against consumers who request access to personal information about them, request deletion, or request that Acxiom opt them out of future sales.

Right to Use Authorized Agents to Exercise Rights

Consumers may use authorized agents to submit requests to Acxiom on their behalf.  In addition, Acxiom has expanded these rights to allow consumers to use authorized agents regardless of their State of residence.  Acxiom requires, upon request, that the authorized agent provide written authorization from the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf.  In the case of an authorized agent’s request for access to personal information, the resulting report will be delivered to the consumer directly.
