Technologies

Acxiom uses technology to help us understand which parts of our websites are visited most often and understand traffic patterns on pages.

Cookies/Tags:

This site uses cookies and tags to tailor web content to match your browser capability and interests based upon your interaction with our web site, and to conduct site optimization and analytics, and to present advertising on other web sites. You can set your Internet browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.

Sensors:

To determine your ability to receive HTML-based e-mail messages, Acxiom may include a coded sensor in its HTML-based e-mail messages. The sensor activates when the e-mail message is opened and flags the e-mail address of the recipient as one that is capable of receiving HTML-based e-mail messages. This capability helps us to send the e-mail in a format you can read, which allows us to track the aggregate number of e-mails read and to measure, in aggregate, if any of the links in the e-mail were accessed. If the recipient cannot receive HTML e-mails, the recipient will not receive a functioning sensor.

Log Files:

We use IP addresses, user agent and HTTP header information from site visitors of acxiom.com to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ activities on the website and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in improving the site and its applications and services, as well as marketing our products.

Separate from the information collected on this website, Acxiom builds and licenses consumer data products. As a consumer, you have choices that govern how Acxiom will handle personal information related to you. To understand all of Acxiom’s data products, go to our US Products Privacy Policy here.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA” or the “Act”) confers privacy rights for California consumers and imposes corresponding obligations subject to the Act. The rights conferred to consumers include: the right to know what personal information covered businesses are collecting about them and how that information is being used and shared; the right to delete personal information held by covered businesses; the right to stop the sale of personal information by covered businesses; and the right to non-discrimination in service and price when exercising privacy rights.
The following is intended to explain California consumers’ rights and the obligations Acxiom has under the CCPA. Acxiom employees in California should refer to the Privacy Notice in their Associate Handbook.

Right to Know/Request for Access to Personal Information

As a consumer under the CCPA, you have the right to request that Acxiom disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you. We call this your “right to know.”

To respond to your right to know request, the CCPA permits Acxiom to verify your identity. We may do this by matching the personal information you supply us to the personal information we maintain about you and to then verify your identity through a series of authentication questions. This may also require that you submit certain personal information for us to compare and match to data we have about you. If you call or mail us and request a consumer access report, an Acxiom associate will call you to administer an authentication test in which you will be required to answer certain questions to verify your identity.

Acxiom will delete the new information collected as part of the identity verification process as soon as practical after fulfilling your request.

Please click here for instructions on submitting a right to know request concerning the information that Acxiom has collected about you via www.acxiom.com.
If we are unable to satisfactorily verify your identity, we will be unable to fulfill your right to know request. In that case, please see the information below concerning Acxiom’s data collection and maintenance practices.
