Surveys

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information such as name, email, and phone number, and demographic information such as job title, location, industry, and company size.

We use this information to send notice(s) to contest winners, award prizes, monitor site traffic, personalize the site, send participants email newsletter(s), and better understand our customers and prospects. We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys; that company will be prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

Use of Personal Information by MaxECM

Any of the information we collect may be used:

To administer your account and facilitate your transactions
To respond to customer service requests

(The email address you provide for order processing, may be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order or request, in addition to receiving occasional company news, updates, promotions, related product or service information, etc.)
To provide you the MaxECM services you have requested
To improve our websites. (We continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you.)
To personalize your experience. (Your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs.)

Access/Choice/Opt-Out

You have the right to access your Personal Information. We provide you the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your information used for certain purposes or to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, when we ask for the information. If you no longer wish to receive emails, our newsletter and other promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by emailing us at info@maxecm.com.

How MaxECM protects your information

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information when you submit a request, or otherwise provide us with your personal information. These security measures include: password protected directories and databases to safeguard your information and PCI Scanning to actively protect our servers from hackers and other vulnerabilities. However, since the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure nor warrant the security of any information you transmit to MaxECM. Please contact us at info@maxecm.com with questions regarding our security measures. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications at all times.

Use of cookies and other tracking technologies

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies that allow us to recognize your browser and capture and store certain information to provide you with secure access to the data and documents you are entitled to view. We have control over these cookies and they underlie our Privacy Policy. In order to be effective, we link the information we store in cookies to your user ID (email address. Our service providers only use cookies that are not tied to Personal Information. The use of cookies by our service providers is not covered by our privacy statement. We do not have access or control over these cookies.

If you wish to disable cookies, your web browser can be configured to refuse them. These links provide specific instructions on how to disable cookies in your browser: Mozilla, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Clear gifs

We use clear gifs to better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customer's Personal Information. Our integrated third party service providers use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Log files

As is true of most web sites, we use third party tracking-utility partners to gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data. We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Social media features and widgets

Our Web Site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

Third parties with whom MaxECM shares personal information

Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the provisions in this Privacy Policy regarding notice and choice and are subject to the service agreements with our service providers and clients. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer the Personal Information you provide to outside parties.

In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU individuals received pursuant to the EU-US Privacy Shield, MaxECM is potentially liable. Like any company, we may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful request by public authorities. We may also release your Personal Information when we believe release is required to comply with the law (such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process), enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety. If MaxECM is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web Site of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information. Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third party links

Notice to End Users

Our services and products are intended for use by businesses. Where the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services, is responsible for the accounts, and ultimately for your use of the Services. In such circumstances, the only Personal Information held in the Services for most end users will be the user's name and email address at the organization’s domain name. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of the Services is subject to that organization's policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator's organization, which may be different than this policy.

Updates to this notice

This Privacy Policy Notice may be updated from time to time. If we make any changes, we will notify you by revising the "effective starting" date at the top of this notice. Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator’s organizational policies for more information.
