Privacy Policy

The Office of Experience, LLC (“us,” “we,” “our,” or “OX”) is committed to protecting the privacy rights of our customers, visitors, and other users of officeofexperience.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) was created to further your understanding of your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy details our practices associated with the collection of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) in the course of your use of the Site and our online design, marketing, and brand strategy service (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other web service or digital service that you may be able to access through the Services, which have data collection, storage and use practices and policies that may differ from this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at info@officeofexperience.com.

By using the Site and/or the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

What Information We Collect

Personal Information We Collect Directly From You

The Personal Information we receive and collect directly from you includes, without limitation, the following:

(1) contact data (such as your e-mail address and phone number);
(2) demographic data (such as your gender, your date of birth and your zip code); and
(3) other identifying information that you voluntarily choose to provide to us, including without limitation unique identifiers, and Personal Information in emails or letters that you send to us.

We may also collect additional information, which may be Personal Information, as otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent. You may still access our Site and use some of the Services if you choose not to provide us with any Personal Information, but if you elect not to share Personal Information it may affect our ability to provide you with certain portions of our Site or our Services.

Information From Third Party Sources

Some third parties, such as our business partners and service providers, provide us with Personal Information about you. If you interact with a third party service when using our Services or if you share content from our Services through a third party social media service, the third party service will send us certain information about you if the third party service and your account settings allow such sharing. The information we receive will depend on the policies and your account settings with the third-party service.

Information we automatically collect when you use our Services

Some information, which may include Personal Information, is automatically collected when you use our Services, such as the following: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of device(s) used to access the Services; (iv) web browser(s) used to access the Services; (v) referring webpage or other source through which you accessed the Services; (vi) geolocation information; and (vii) other statistics and information associated with the interaction between your browser or device and the Services (collectively “Traffic Data”). Depending on applicable law, some Traffic Data may be Personal Information.

How We Collect Information

We collect information (including Personal Information and Traffic Data) when you use and interact with the Site and the Services, and in some cases from third party sources. Such means of collection include:

(1) When you use the Services’ interactive tools;
(2) When you voluntarily provide information in free-form text boxes through the Services;
(3) If you use the Services on our Site, we may receive and collect information transmitted from your computing device for the purpose of providing you the relevant Service, such as information regarding when you are logged on and available to receive updates or alert notices;
(4) If you use a location-enabled browser, we may receive information about your location and mobile device, as applicable;
(5) Through cookies, web beacons, analytics services and other tracking technology (collectively, “Tracking Tools”), as described below; and
(6) When you contact us at info@officeofexperience.com or otherwise contact us.

Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising, and Opt Out Options

Tracking Tools: We may use tools outlined below in order to provide our Services to, advertise to, and to better understand users.

(1) Cookies: “Cookies” are small computer files transferred to your computing device that contain information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited and activities conducted while using the Services. We use cookies to improve or tailor the Services, customize advertisements by tracking navigation habits, measuring performance, and storing authentication status so re-entering credentials is not required, customize user experiences with the Services, and for analytics and fraud prevention. For more information on cookies, including how to control your cookie settings and preferences, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Some cookies are placed by a third party on your device and provide information to us and third parties about your browsing habits (such as your visits to our Site and use of our Services, the pages you have visited, and the links and advertisements you have clicked). These cookies can be used to determine whether certain third party services are being used, to identify your interests, and to serve advertisements relevant to you. We do not control third party cookies.

(2) Web Beacons: “Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of our Services, the websites of selected advertisers and the emails, special promotions or newsletters that we send. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are using the Services, using selected publishers’ websites or opening emails, and for what purpose, and also allows us to enhance our interest-based advertising (discussed further below).

(3) Web Service Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services in connection with the Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text typed into the Site and/or Services. We use the information collected from these services to help make the Services easier to use and as otherwise set forth in the “How We Use Your Information” section below. These analytics services generally do not collect Personal Information unless you voluntarily provide it and generally do not track your browsing habits across web services that do not use their services.

(4) Mobile Device Identifiers: As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help OX learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors in order to personalize and improve the Services. Mobile device identifiers are data stored on mobile devices that may track mobile device and data and activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of Personal Information (such as media access control, address and location) and Traffic Data.

Behavioral Advertising: We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools, such as cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons, to collect information about a user’s online activities to display OX ads to the user based on the user’s interests (“Behavioral Advertising”). Such partners may include third-party service providers, advertisers, advertising networks or platforms, traffic measurement service providers, marketing analytics service providers, and other third party service providers (collectively, “Advertising Service Providers”). Other Tracking Tools used by our partners may collect information when you use the Services, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, browser, web page interactions, geographic location and demographic information, such as gender and age range. These Tracking Tools help OX learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.

Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers: Some web browsers allow you to reject cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept OX’s cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Services.

You may opt out of receiving certain cookies and certain trackers by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) consumer opt-out page, or by installing the DAA’s AppChoice app (for iOS; for Android) on your mobile computing device. When you use these opt-out features, an “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your computer, tablet or mobile computing device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertising from NAI or DAA member companies. If you delete cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile computing device, you may need to opt out again.

For information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile devices, please visit http://www.applicationprivacy.org/expressing-your-behavioral-advertising-choices-on-a-mobile-device. You will need to opt out of each browser and device for which you desire to apply these opt-out features.

Even after opting out of Behavioral Advertising, you may still see OX advertisements that are not interest-based (i.e., not targeted toward you). Also, opting out does not mean that OX is no longer using Tracking Tools — OX still may collect information about your use of the Services even after you have opted out of Behavioral Advertising and may still serve advertisements to you via the Services based on information it collects via the Services.

This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that some cookies placed by third parties can continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services.

How OX Responds to Browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) Signals: Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain Personal Information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including OX, do not proactively respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

How We Share Your Information

In certain circumstances, and in order to perform the Services, we may share certain information that we collect from you, as described in this section:

(1) Third Parties: We may share your Personal Information obtained through your use of our Site and/or Services with third parties. For example, we use a third-party social sharing tool called AddThis that allows you to share news articles or job postings.

(4) Cross Device Matching: To determine if users have interacted with content across multiple devices and to match such devices, we work with partners who analyze device activity data and/or rely on your information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data). To supplement this analysis, we also provide de-identified data to these partners. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated or use this data to further analyze usage of Services across devices.

(5) Business Transfers: We may transfer your Personal Information to another company in connection with a proposed merger, sale, acquisition or other change of ownership or control by or of OX (whether in whole or in part). Should one of these events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before your information becomes subject to different privacy and security policies and practices.

(6) Public Information and Submissions: You agree that any information that you may reveal in a review posting, online discussion or forum (such as comments to our Better By blog) is intended for the public and is not in any way private. Carefully consider whether to disclose any Personal Information in any public posting or forum. Your submissions may be seen and/or collected by third parties and may be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict.

(7) Protection of OX and Others: We also may need to disclose your Personal Information or any other information we collect about you if we determine in good faith that such disclosure is needed to: (1) comply with or fulfill our obligations under applicable law, regulation, court order or other legal process; (2) protect the rights, property or safety of you, OX or another party; (3) enforce the Agreement or other agreements with you; or (4) respond to claims that any posting or other content violates third-party rights.

Storage and Security of Information

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We endeavor to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and in storage.

We store and process your information on our servers in the United States. We maintain industry standard backup and archival systems.

Although we make good faith efforts to store Personal Information in a secure operating environment that is not open to the public, we do not and cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. If at any time during or after our relationship we believe that the security of your Personal Information may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail to the most recent e-mail address you have provided us.
