Demandbase, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Demandbase”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals.  This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information and how you can manage the personal information collected about you.  This Privacy Notice applies to any website, virtual or physical event, or online service from, or other interaction with, Demandbase and its subsidiaries (Demandbase, Ltd., DemandMatrix LLC., DemandPrediction India Pvt Ltd., Engagio, Inc., InsideView Technologies, Inc. and Demandbase India Private Limited) and via the services we provide to our customers.

As used in this Privacy Notice, “personal information” means information about an identified or identifiable natural person.  Most of the sections in this Privacy Notice apply to everyone.  There are sections below that only apply to certain individuals who are located in or residents of certain jurisdictions as described in those sections.

Depending on the circumstances, Demandbase will use different legal bases to process personal information. In some circumstances, Demandbase processes personal information when required to do so by law, or if necessary to protect your interests, our interests, or the interests of a third party. Demandbase may also process data when it is in Demandbase’s legitimate interests, provided that such interests are not overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. A few examples of these legitimate interests may be to provide its services to customers, operate its business, conduct direct marketing and maintain security.

This Privacy Notice does NOT apply to the websites or services offered by Demandbase’s customers, partners, publishers who display ads or to any other third parties.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information with third parties as described below:

Demandbase will disclose personal information where required to do so.
  • Transfer to acquirer or successor entity.   If Demandbase sells a substantial portion of its assets or is acquired, reorganized, merged into another entity, goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, it is likely that personal information will be one of the business assets transferred in connection with such activity.
  • Sharing with your consent. We may share your personal information for any other purpose with your consent.  If you have consented to a specific use of your personal information, you may revoke your consent for future use of your personal information for that purpose by contacting us through this form.

Where We Process Personal Information

Demandbase is a global business and may transfer, store, or process your personal information in a country outside your jurisdiction, including the United States or any country in which Demandbase and its agents and service providers have personnel or facilities. The United States and other countries may not have data protection laws that are as comprehensive or protective as those in your country; however, our collection, storage and use of your personal information will at all times be in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

When Demandbase transfers personal information from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or the United Kingdom (“UK”) to another country, we implement an appropriate data transfer mechanism, like entering into standard contractual clauses approved by European data protection regulators, or take other measures to provide an adequate level of protection under EEA, Swiss or UK law.

Your Rights
For Everyone

To exercise your privacy rights, please use this form. We will verify your identity when needed to comply with your request, which may include reviewing government identification, and may be unable to proceed with your request if we are not able to verify your identity.

You have the right to request that we correct or otherwise amend your personal information. If you use Demandbase services, you may be able to correct your own personal information.  If we process your personal information on behalf of one of our customers, we may ask that you work with the customer to amend your personal information.  We may ask for adequate proof of the amended personal information before we make a requested change.

When you participate in a call or online meeting that is being recorded, you have the right to request that we not record that call or meeting.  Please make those requests to the call organizer before or during the call. During webinars or other events that must be recorded, please do not share personal information that you do not want other attendees to view in the chats, Q&A or similar features.

When serving interest-based advertising to you, Demandbase includes the AdChoices icon from Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (“DAAC”) within such ads. This icon generally appears as in one of the corners of the ad and may be accompanied by text such as “AdChoices.” You can click on the icon to learn more about the ad and to opt-out of receiving ads from Demandbase in the future. Demandbase adheres to the DAA’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and the DAAC’s Canadian Self-Regulatory Principles for Interest-Based Advertising. To learn more about the DAA or DAAC and the AdChoices Icon, and to opt-out of interest-based advertising delivered by other participating companies, please visit the DAA webchoices page or the DAAC webchoices page.

The DAA/DAAC opt-out requires the ability to set an opt-out cookie in your browser. Your opt-out choices only apply to the particular browser and device from which you have opted-out, and only to the applicable advertising channel.  For example, you may still receive interest-based advertising in-app or email marketing if you opt-out via web browser cookies or otherwise not via cookies. Please note that if you delete, block or otherwise restrict cookies or change your cookie preferences, or if you use a different computer or Internet browser, you may need to renew your opt-out choice.

If we send direct marketing emails to you, we will rely on the legitimate interests basis of processing and include an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of all of our emails to allow you to object to our use of your personal information for direct marketing. Click the link to unsubscribe and Demandbase will remove you from future emails within a reasonable amount of time.
