WHAT WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

CxTheory collects information to provide you with the best products, services and experiences we can, and to ensure our website is operating efficiently. The information we collect is generally personal data about you that you voluntarily provide to us (“personal data”).

PERSONAL DATA

We may collect and store your personal data whenever you do the following:

Sign up to be a member, create an account on our website, update your profile, or pay member dues. We collect information such as your name, company name, mailing address, country, email address, and phone number. We use this information to process your request, as well as for analytics and market research to provide services and benefits to you.

Purchase our products or services. When you purchase products or services from us through the website, we will collect the personal data needed (such as your name, company name, mailing address, country, email address, phone number, and credit card number) to process and communicate with you about your order.  Cx Theory does not store your payment information; instead, we use PayPal to process your payment on our behalf.

Complete a survey. At times may conduct surveys and will need to collect various information depending on the nature of the survey.  This may include your name, company name, mailing address, country, email address, and phone number. How this personal data and your survey responses will be used by Cx Theory is disclosed in the survey itself.

Cx Theory uses trusted third-party vendors to help us collect, store and process the personal data you share with us.  Our vendors process your personal data and tracking information in accordance with our instructions, this Policy, and applicable privacy laws and regulations.

SHARING YOUR DATA

Except as provided below, Cx Theory does not share your personal data with third parties without your consent.

We may disclose your personal data to third parties with your consent.

We may disclose your personal data when required by law, wherein we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a criminal investigation, a court order, or legal process. We may also share your personal data if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

What’s a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on a website visitor’s computer or mobile device when visiting a website, for the purpose of identifying that browser during interactions on the website. The cookie will help the website recognize the device and enable certain functions. Web beacons and similar technologies act in a comparable manner. Cx Theory uses the term “cookies” to refer to all technologies that collect information in this way.

Cx Theory employs two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps our website recognize you as a returning user. A persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by the website when you make a return visit. Session cookies typically last for as long as the browser session (usually destroyed when the user closes their browser).

Here are some useful resources that provide detailed information about types of cookies, how they are used, and how you can manage your cookie preferences:  www.aboutcookies.org or  www.allaboutcookies.org.

How and why does Cx Theory use cookies?

Cx Theory may use cookies or anonymous identifiers (or allow third parties on our behalf to use cookies) to collect the following types of information:

Device Information. We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number) when you visit any Cx Theory web property. Cx Theory may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Cx Theory Account.

Log Information. When you visit any CX Theory website, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs or in your browser. This may include: details of how you used our service, such as your search queries and content you accessed; your IP address; device and event information such as hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL; and cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Cx Theory Account.

Location Information. When you use a location-enabled service provided by Cx Theory, we may collect and process information about your actual location, like GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We may also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers.

Transactional Information. When you perform an online transaction, we may store information in your browser required to complete the transaction such as a session identifier.

Demographic Information. When you login to any Cx Theory website, we may automatically store non-personally identifiable demographic information in your browser to help deliver a personalized experience.

Cx Theory employs Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, to better understand your use of our website. Google Analytics collects information through its cookies such as how often users visit the website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to visiting. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
