Privacy
Policy

UX Spot does not pass on or sell information about our customers to any other business or organization. The only exception to this is where we are legally obliged to do so to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our website.

In the event UX Spot goes through a business transition, users will be notified via prominent notice on our website for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used differently from that stated at the time of collection, they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Users who no longer wish to receive the promotional communications that they signed up for via the website mailing list may opt-out of receiving these communications by hitting the unsubscribe button at the bottom of our most recent marketing email, replying with ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line of the email, emailing us at research@uxspot.com, phoning +86 (21) 2027 0599, or writing to UX Spot, Room 304, Building 3, Honghui Yinyuewan, Pudong, Shanghai, China.

We use Google Analytics and Adwords data in a basic, user-focused way, mainly in aggregated data reports for assessing acquisition, behaviour and conversions. Google Analytics has a comprehensive policy on data privacy and security. This gives us control over areas including customizable cookie settings, privacy controls, data sharing settings, data deletion on account termination. We will always act to minimise data collection, processing and storage in line with our Data Culture Manifesto and Privacy Policy. Google Analytics sets out best practices to avoid sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII) — we are satisfied that in following these we are minimising risks related to PII of persons visiting our website(s) being held by Google Analytics. Google Analytics has, on 11th April 2018, introduced data retention controls, which allow us to control data minimisation and determine how long user and event data for our website(s) is held on GA’s servers on a lawful basis in relation to the reasonable requirements of our business. As of 6th May 2018 we have set data retention at the minimum period of 14 months for all UX Spot owned sites set up with Google Analytics.
