The Fullstory on Fullstory

Fullstory exists to make the web better for end-users, and it is only available to websites that share that goal. Please also note that we use Fullstory on Fullstory. In this regard, we use a separate instance of the Fullstory Services to monitor the instance of Fullstory Services that our customers use.

We do not use Personal Information to make automated decisions about you in any situations where you may have a legal right to opt out.
Right to Object
: You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object. You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent
: If we are processing your Personal Information based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
To submit a request to exercise your rights, please request via email to privacy@fullstory.com, or call 1-833-385-5786. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or may comply with it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within thirty days of its receipt consistent with applicable law. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded and we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
Lodging a Complaint
You also have the right to file a complaint by contacting your local supervisory authority for data protection. Contact details for EU data protection authorities are available at https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/items/612080. If you are based in the UK, you can make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
Section 11: Data Retention
As a general rule, we keep your data for only as long as it is needed to complete the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. We may need to keep your data for longer than our specified retention periods to honor your requests, including to continue keeping you opted out of marketing emails, or to comply with legal or other obligations.
We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information based on certain criteria, including:
The duration of our relationship with you;
The length of time necessary to complete a transaction;
Whether your Personal Information is a sensitive type;
Whether you specifically consented to retain the data; and
Our legal, contractual or similar obligations to retain or delete the data.
Section 12: International Transfers
We may, directly or indirectly through third-party entities around the world, process, store, and transfer the information you provide, including your Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, the information and Personal Information that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a location outside of your jurisdiction, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, and in countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. It may also be processed by staff operating outside of your jurisdiction who work for us or for one of the organizations outlined in this Privacy Policy in connection with the activities outlined in this Privacy Policy. Fullstory is located in the United States and operates globally. We have data centers in the United States and in the European Union. At the time that you contract for our Services, you have the option to designate the location of the data center which supports your Fullstory account.
The laws in the United States regarding Personal Information may be different from the laws of your jurisdiction or country. Any international transfers, collection, storage, or processing of your Personal Information will comply with safeguards as required by relevant law.
A. Standard Contractual Clauses
For transfers from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States, we will comply with applicable laws to provide an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of your Personal Information. Fullstory relies on the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses as a legal mechanism for data transfers from the E.U.
B. Data Privacy Framework
With respect to “personal information” (as defined below) for which we act as a “processor” for Fullstory Customers within the meaning of European data protection law, Fullstory complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss-U.S. DPF”) (collectively, the “DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).
Fullstory has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of such “personal information” (as defined in the DPF) received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. Fullstory has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of such personal information received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. The EU-U.S. DPF Principles and Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles are referred to collectively herein as the “DPF Principles.” We are subject to the investigatory powers of the FTC with respect to our DPF compliance.
If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the DPF Principles, the DPF Principles shall govern. To learn more about the DPF program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. Fullstory and Fullstory Customers may also protect international transfers of personal information through other legally valid methods, including international data transfer agreements, and you can contact us to request more information about such methods and agreements.
If you are an EEA, UK, or Swiss citizen, you may be able to exercise certain choices under the DPF regarding how some of your personal information is used and disclosed, and may access, correct or delete certain personal information, by following the instructions in the section of this Privacy Policy titled “EEA, Switzerland, or the UK.” However, since we act as our customer’s processor for all of the information covered by our DPF certification, it typically would be faster for you to contact the customer directly.
When we receive personal information under the DPF and then transfer it to a third-party service provider acting as our agent on our behalf, we may have certain responsibility under the DPF if both (a) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF and (b) we are responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
If you have any concern or complaint about our handling of personal information received under the DPF Principles, please contact us as set forth above, as we would like to do our best to resolve the situation. If we cannot do so, Fullstory commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal information received in reliance on the DPF to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States.
If you do not receive timely acknowledgement of your DPF-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-Dispute-Resolution for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you. In the event DPF-related complaints to Fullstory and JAMS do not result in a satisfactory resolution, you may seek to resolve the complaint through binding arbitration, as described in Annex I of the DPF, available here: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/article/ANNEX-I-introduction-dpf?tabset-35584=2.
Section 13: Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy. If the changes to this Privacy Policy are material, we will provide a more prominent notice for a reasonable time period (including, for certain services or programs, email notification or privacy policy changes). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
