When you access the Site or Services, or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your system by using cookies and other types of click-stream tracking technologies. This “automatically collected” information may include Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), a unique user ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language, referring and exit pages, platform type, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Sites and Service, the number of clicks, the amount of time spent on pages, the dates and times that you visit the Sites and Service, and other similar information. Depending on the law of your country of residence, your IP address may legally be considered personally identifiable information.
We typically use these cookies and similar technologies for essential and functional purposes (e.g. to maintain an active session), to improve the performance and usability of our Sites, and to analyze how users interact with the Services (e.g. to understand how long users stay on a page, how often they return, and how they arrived at our Site). On certain portions of our Sites we may collect data through these technologies for advertising, remarketing, or other similar purposes. Click-stream and related data is typically used for purposes of system administration, to improve our Services, for marketing and advertising-related purposes, and other similar uses.
Certain portions of our Services may collect information via cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar digital tracking technologies. These technologies can be used to operate, secure and provide our Services by collecting and analyzing information related to your use of the Services.
Generally, this information is collected when you request pages from our Services, and typically includes information such as the page served, the time, the source and type of browser making the request, the most recent page view, what you clicked on to arrive at our Services, the content you viewed on our Services, and other similar information relating to your use of our Services. In some cases, we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
Listen360 utilizes only strictly necessary and functional cookies as part of its application Services, though other cookies including analytics and marketing related cookies are utilized on our public-facing websites and feedback forms. User sessions originating from an EU or UK IP address are provided the opportunity to opt-out of these analytics and marketing cookies.
For detailed information on the types of cookies used by Listen360, and your cookie management options, please read our Cookie Policy.
Listen360 provides the ability to integrate the Services with select third party systems for importing and synchronization of customer information or publishing of feedback content (“Integrated Service(s)”). When a Client elects to establish a Listen360 connection with an Integrated Service, all data in your account may be shared with the Integrated Service (and all data in the Integrated Service account may be shared with Listen360) including personally identifiable information about your consumer and non-consumer customers and prospects. Listen360 does not control the policies or procedures of these Integrated Services, even though the integrations are provided through our Services, and Listen360 is not responsible for and has no control over how these third party Integrated Services function.
This Policy does not cover the collection or use of information, including consumer Respondent data, by Integrated Services, and Clients acknowledge that use and access to these Integrated Services is solely at their own risk; and Clients should consult the Terms and Privacy Policy for any Integrated Services accessed via a Listen360 account to determine how they store, process, transmit, and otherwise utilize and protect personally identifiable information and the personally identifiable information Clients provide about their customers, prospects, and other consumers. Clients ultimately can control which Integrated Services they choose to use with their Listen360 account, and are responsible for making sure that they do so in compliance with relevant privacy and data protection requirements.
Listen360 may provide the Personal Information we have collected from and/or about Clients to Integrated Services for the purpose of enabling them to market their products or services to you, if you have not opted out of these disclosures.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy or in accordance with any request or consent you provide, Listen360 does not sell, share, or in any other way transmit Personal Information (names, address, phone numbers, financial account information, Protected Health Information (PHI/ePHI), etc.) submitted by Respondents to any persons or companies other than the Client on whose behalf the feedback was solicited. We reserve the right, however, to use and disclose anonymous information to third parties, at our discretion. Except as limited below, third parties may use information we share with them for any purpose for which we may use such information.
Personal Information we collect from Visitors, Clients, Client Users, and Respondents may be shared with service providers who provide certain services on our behalf, including but not limited to, identity verification, fraud prevention, business intelligence, customer relationship management, bill collection, payment processing, marketing, hosting, and other common technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you consent to our sharing with these parties by using our Sites and Services and accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may provide information, including Personal Information of Clients and Client Users to third party service providers and referral partners that work on behalf of or with us to provide some of the aspects of our services, to help us communicate with you, or to provide Clients with ancillary services offered by such service providers and referral partners. We may also receive information about you, including Personal Information, from our third party service providers and referral partners. However, these service providers and referral partners do not have any independent right to disclose this information (except to the same extent we would have a right to disclose that information under this Privacy Policy).
When you provide feedback about a Client via the Services, we share all of the information you provide, including Personal Information, with that Client.
When you submit any feedback form or survey, you are providing explicit consent to publically publish in any forum or format any and all of the information provided via the form (including both checkbox/radio button selections and free text comments) in conjunction with your first and last initials.
You hereby agree that we may share some or all of your Personal Information with our Affiliates. We will require our Affiliates to comply with this Privacy Policy. If our company or some or all of our assets are acquired by another company, any personal or other information we possess may be a part of the assets transferred, and that company will possess any rights granted to us under this Privacy Policy.
Finally, in extraordinary circumstances, we may share any personal or other information we possess, including but not limited to credit card and other financial account information and Protected Health Information (PHI/ePHI) when necessary or appropriate to: comply with the law; cooperate with law enforcement or national security requirements; respond to subpoenas; respond to lawful requests; comply with law or credit card rules; participate in a lawful federal, state or local government investigation; protect the rights of Listen360, other Listen360 Clients, Client Users, and Respondents, and third parties; or to investigate violations of or to enforce our Terms of Service or Terms of Use. However, in doing so, we may: (i) dispute demands for release to the extent we believe, in our sole discretion, are unwarranted, illegitimate or overbroad; and (ii) when we determine that it is necessary or appropriate, we will notify you of any requests for release.
In all cases where we share Personal Information with third parties, we will use a “minimum necessary” standard to disclose only that information required to perform the service for which the information is disclosed.
We will retain Personal Information for Clients and Client Users as long as you remain an active user of our Services and for a reasonable time thereafter, to serve the purpose(s) for which your Personal Information was processed, or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our agreements to the extent permitted by law. While retention requirements can vary by country, we generally apply the retention periods noted below.
Note that Clients control any consumer data we collect and process on their behalf and it is up to the Client to determine how long they will store their customers’ Personal Information in our systems.
Upon termination of a contract with a Covered Entity, we will remove any ePHI stored in our systems on behalf of that Covered Entity where required by applicable law or the Business Associate Agreement with the Covered Entity; any PHI that we continue to maintain, will be stored and protected per the terms of our Business Associate Agreement with the Covered Entity.
Listen360 has implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our thirty party vendor’s servers which utilize the most powerful security tools that exist in the marketplace.
The Listen360 Sites, including hosted web feedback survey forms, utilize secure SSL for all form data submissions in conjunction with a 256-bit GoDaddy certificate, but accommodate the majority of browsers at 128-bit encryption.
Listen360 does not directly store, process, or transmit bank account and credit card information. All payment processing, and collection of payment account data, is accomplished via integration with third-party service providers. These providers are contractually required to maintain compliance with the PCI DSS – Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, and with all NACHA rules for ACH transaction processing. This includes secure transmission of credit card/bank account information, and encrypted storage of all payment account information.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted via our Sites or Services. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Sites or the Services.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Sites or the Service, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Additionally, do not leave your device unlocked so that other individuals may access your device or account. Listen360 is not in control of your wireless connection or the devices you use to log into the Services, so you should make sure you trust the devices and connections you use to access the Services.
If you believe that you have experienced unauthorized access or use of your account, please contact us immediately at [email protected]
You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the opt-out instructions we include in such communications. Any communications from us that are not Service-related or transactional in nature will offer you an “unsubscribe” option so that you can opt out of receiving such messages.
To the extent required by law, you may choose to opt out of sharing with any other parties with whom we may share your personal information; however, you may be unable to use the Services or certain features if you wish to limit such sharing.
For individuals residing in Designated Countries, please refer to the “Designated Countries Privacy Rights” section below.
Listen360 acknowledges the right of individuals to access their Personal Information. Note that Listen360 will require you to verify your identity prior to releasing any Personal Information.
Generally, you may access, correct, and/or delete your Personal Information as follows:
For individuals residing in Designated Countries, please refer to the “Designated Countries Privacy Rights” section below.
Note that use of the system delete function by a Client to remove any data related to Respondents or potential Respondents (such deleting a record or deleting feedback comments), or to remove any personal data about your company or its authorized Client Users, only restricts viewing that data from any system interface and prevents utilizing that data for any system function. It does not permanently delete the data from Listen360 systems. To have any personal data permanently deleted from Listen360 systems, you must make an official request in writing, to the address provided below or by emailing [email protected] that includes the specific information that you would like permanently deleted from Listen360 systems. Note that Listen360 will require you to verify your identity prior to executing any request to permanently delete data.
If you have any questions about your Personal Information or this policy, or if you would like to make a complaint about how Listen360 processes your personal data, please contact Listen360 by email at [email protected], or by using the contact details below.
If you are a California resident, you may request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. California law provides that you have the right to receive the following information: (a) the categories of information we disclosed to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year; and (b) the names and addresses of third parties that received such information, or if the nature of their business cannot be determined from the name, then examples of the products or services marketed.
You are entitled to receive a copy of this information in a standardized format and the information will not be specific to you individually. You may make such a request by emailing us at [email protected].
We do not intentionally gather information about individuals who are under the age of 18 or the age of majority in the country where they reside. If you are under the age of 18 or the age of majority you should not use our Services. If a Client, Client User, or Respondent submits personal information who is suspected of being younger than 18 years of age or the age of majority, we will require the Client, Client User, or Respondent to close his or her account and will not allow continued use of the Services. We will also take steps to delete the information as soon as possible, unless an exception applies. Please notify us if you know of any individuals under the age of 18 or age of majority using our Services so we can take action to prevent access to our Services.
This section only applies to users of our Service that are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and/or Switzerland (collectively, the “Designated Countries”) at the time of data collection.
We may ask you to identify which country you are located in when you use some of the Services, or we may rely on your IP address to identify which country you are located in. When we rely on your IP address, we cannot apply the terms of this section to any individual that masks or otherwise hides their location information from us so as not to appear located in the Designated Countries. If any terms in this section conflict with other terms contained in this Policy, the terms in this section shall apply to users in the Designated Countries.
Listen360 acts as a service provider to Clients and is a “data processor” with regard to any consumer Personal Information imported by Clients or Client Users into our systems via our Services—whether that consumer Personal Information is entered directly into our systems by the consumer as a Respondent, entered or imported by an authorized Client User, or imported by an authorized Client third party integration. As a “data processor” Listen360 does not have any direct control over the purposes for which and the manner in which any Respondent or potential Respondent personal information is processed; instead processing of this Personal Information is governed by data processing agreements between Listen360 and our Clients.
