Please do not provide any information that we do not request.

Information from Your Browser or Device when You Use the Services

When you use the Services, we and third parties we work with automatically collect information from your browser or device.

The categories of information we automatically collect include:

  • Device identifiers, including IP address.
  • Device information, including browser language, time, session age, user agent, etc.
  • Internet activity, including information about your browsing history and interactions, such as the features you use, pages you visit, content you view, purchases you make or consider, date and time of your visit, duration of your visit and referring and exiting pages and URLs.
  • Non-precise location data, such as location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level. For clarity, MaxMind does not request access to or otherwise receive GPS signals from any devices when you access the Services.

The methods by which we collect such information include:

  • Cookies. A cookie is a file stored on your browser that may be used to identify a device by storing certain personal preferences and user data. MaxMind uses cookies for a variety of purposes, including to help make our website work, identify authorized users of the MaxMind Account Portal, track affiliate referrals, complete online purchases through MaxMind's shopping carts, prevent fraud and assist with security, count visitors, and perform measurement and analytics.
  • Web Beacons. Web beacons are small graphic images or other web programming code (also known as "1x1 GIFs" or "clear GIFs"), which may be included in our web pages and email messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email can act as a web beacon. Web beacons are often associated with cookies and used for similar purposes. Web beacons may also be used to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
  • Embedded Scripts. Embedded scripts are programming code designed to collect information about a device's interactions with a website, such as the links clicked on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from a server, is active only while you are connected to the website containing the embedded script, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter. Embedded scripts are used for similar purposes as cookies and web beacons.
  • Server Logs. Your web browser automatically sends information to every website you visit, including ours. For example, our server logs may receive and record your device information and internet activity. Our server logs may also receive a user agent string, which is a series of characters automatically sent with your internet requests that provide information necessary for smooth internet communications, such as the operating system and browser you used.

When you interact with our Services, MaxMind may assign your computer or mobile device a unique identification number ("Unique ID"). MaxMind may set a cookie on your device containing, amongst other things, the device's Unique ID. MaxMind uses information generated from the Unique ID for purposes of improving our Services, primarily our ability to detect fraud.

Information Provided through queries to the minFraud Service, GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service by MaxMind's customers

MaxMind is primarily a business-to-business service. When our customers use the minFraud Service, GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service, they send queries to MaxMind that can include information about others who may not have a direct relationship with MaxMind.

minFraud Service-

The minFraud Service helps businesses prevent online fraud by providing risk scoring and risk data related to online transactions. MaxMind’s customers then use this information provided by MaxMind to determine whether to proceed with a transaction.

MaxMind’s customers decide what data to submit to our minFraud Service. The categories of information our customers send to us through the minFraud Service include:

  • Contact identifiers, including first and last name, email address, postal address, billing address, and phone number.
  • Device identifiers including IP address.
  • Device information, including browser language, time, session age, user agent, etc.
  • Payment information, including partial credit card numbers such as the issuer ID number (IIN) and the last digits of a credit card (but not a full credit card number).
  • Commercial or transactional information, including records of products or services you have purchased, obtained, or considered, whether there is a reported chargeback, etc.
  • Custom inputs determined by our customers.
GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service-

MaxMind’s customers submit IP addresses through queries to the GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service and MaxMind returns certain information it has associated with that IP address such as postal code, city, state or country, ISP provider, domain name, connection type (e.g. Cable/DSL/Cellular), whether an IP address is associated with an anonymizer (such as a VPN, Tor Exit, Hosting provider, etc.), and similar data.

We will treat the information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy to the extent we act as a controller. We will also comply with any additional restrictions applicable to the customer providing the data.

Information from Other Sources

MaxMind also receives information, including the categories of information listed above, from other sources. The categories of other sources from which we receive information include:

  • Our business partners and resellers.
  • Publicly available sources such as open government databases or other data in the public domain.
  • From social media. For example, if you contact us through Twitter or LinkedIn.

We will treat the information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data.

Information We Infer

We infer new information from other information we collect, including generating information for the purposes of providing, enhancing, or improving our IP address intelligence and, fraud detection, and other services and products. For example, we generate fraud analysis data for our customers to help detect fraud.

3. How MaxMind uses information

We collect and use information for our legitimate interests and for business and commercial purposes in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Our purposes for collecting and using information include:

Providing Our Services

MaxMind uses information for the purposes of providing its IP address intelligence, fraud detection, and other services and products.

How MaxMind Uses Information Provided by MaxMind’s customers through queries to the minFraud Service

MaxMind uses data from customer queries submitted to the minFraud Service for the following purposes:

  • To provide services to the customer who sent us the data.We use the data submitted by our customers for the purpose of providing risk scores and to provide additional information or feedback to the customer who sent us the data.
  • To improve our minFraud Service to provide the minFraud Service to other customers. In some instances, we process and aggregate data submitted to the minFraud service and use it to improve the minFraud Service in order to provide other customers with licensed data, more accurate information, robust risk score information and the ability to flag potentially fraudulent activity. For example, if we receive reports of chargebacks from one MaxMind customer that could impact the risk score returned to a different MaxMind customer. Not all data submitted to minFraud is used for this purpose, and for some minFraud customers we do not use any data submitted in queries for this purpose. MaxMind does not use custom inputs provided by our customers to provide services to unrelated customers.
  • To improve our IP address intelligence services. In some instances, MaxMind uses some of the personal data provided through our minFraud Service for the purpose of improving the accuracy of our IP address intelligence services. MaxMind’s IP address intelligence services include our GeoIP Databases, GeoIP2 Web Services, GeoLite Databases and GeoLite Web Services. The IP address intelligence services associate IP addresses with certain information such as a postal code, city, state or country, ISP provider, domain name, connection type (e.g. Cable/DSL/Cellular), whether an IP address is associated with an anonymizer (such as a VPN, Tor Exit, Hosting provider, etc.), and similar data. Our IP address intelligence services are licensed to customers for a variety of purposes, including fraud prevention, geofencing, sanctions compliance, enforcing licensing restrictions, serving advertisements, customizing website content, etc. Not all data submitted to minFraud is used for this purpose, and for some minFraud customers we do not use any data submitted in queries for this purpose.

How MaxMind Uses Information Provided by MaxMind's customers through queries to the GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service

MaxMind uses the IP addresses submitted to the GeoIP2 Web Service and GeoLite Web Service for the purpose of improving some of our Services, including without limitation the minFraud Service, the GeoIP2 Web Service, GeoLite Web Service and GeoIP Databases.

How MaxMind Uses Information Provided by MaxMind Customers through JavaScript.

MaxMind offers a GeoIP2 JavaScript Client API available to its customers via geoip-js.com and js.maxmind.com. Where a MaxMind customer uses the GeoIP2 JavaScript Client API, MaxMind collects device identifiers, device information (e.g., HTTP headers), provided via geoip-js.com or js.maxmind.com on behalf of the customer, and logs such information only for the purposes of monitoring, alerting, and internal reporting for the specific customer for up to 30 days. MaxMind does not disclose information collected through geoip-js.com or js.maxmind.com among customers.

Some of the Services offered by MaxMind may require a MaxMind customer to place a snippet of JavaScript on the customer's own website (either by the customer itself or by MaxMind), and that JavaScript collects information used by MaxMind to create the Unique ID. If the customer uses the MaxMind minFraud service, it may receive back the Unique ID MaxMind associated with the IP address being used in the request made to the minFraud service.

Communications with You

MaxMind maintains one or more contact lists (with email addresses and other contact identifiers) to allow MaxMind to communicate with individuals who do business with MaxMind or who have expressed an interest in the Services. We may contact you to confirm your purchases or respond to requests that you make, notify you of changes to your account or the Services, for security purposes, for marketing purposes, or to otherwise inform you of information related to our business or your account with us.

MaxMind uses information for a variety of website administration and customization purposes. For example, we use information to process your registration requests, send you email updates and other communications, customize features, and deliver content to you.

Usage of IP Addresses

The MaxMind services, including the minFraud service, use IP addresses to help organizations detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Among other things, MaxMind obtains IP addresses and order information (including billing address) through its minFraud service. MaxMind uses the billing location from this data along with other data to create databases that pair IP addresses with the locations in which they are likely being used, down to a postal code level of resolution.

If you receive IP geolocation data from us that you believe is incorrect, you can submit a data correction request to us through our website at /en/geoip-data-correction-request, by email at correction@maxmind.com, or through a secure URL that is set up by your company and that shares IP geolocation data. We use the information you submit to review and respond to your correction request, and update our databases as appropriate. Any data updated within our databases may be used and disclosed in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

15. European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom

Roles

EU, Swiss and UK data protection laws make a distinction between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as "controllers") and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as "processors").

MaxMind, located at the address set forth in Section 11 above, generally operates as a processor on behalf of its customers that use the MaxMind's services. The MaxMind customer, the controller, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Specifically, MaxMind's customer decides what personal data to share with MaxMind in order for MaxMind to provide the customer with robust risk score information, certain licensed data, the ability to flag potentially fraudulent activity, and other services as purchased by the customer. Please visit the applicable customer's privacy policy for information about their privacy practices.

MaxMind also operates as a controller with respect to certain of its services and/or databases. For example, MaxMind operates as a controller in connection with personal data collected from visitors through its website, including through data correction requests. Also, when MaxMind combines personal data from different customers, like many kinds of analytics services, it may do this both as a processor at its customers' instruction and as a controller itself for the purpose of providing services to all of its customers. For example, MaxMind may process and aggregate or otherwise de-identify some of the personal data that a customer shares with MaxMind in order to make that personal data part of another database for one or more other services provided to MaxMind customers.

Data Subject Rights

If you are a data subject in the European Union, Switzerland or UK, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you through the Services. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you through the Services. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at Section 11 above and specify which right you intend to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note that we store information as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and may continue to retain and use the information even after a data subject request for purposes of our legitimate interests, including as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

If your information has been processed by us on behalf of one of our customers and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such information, please inquire with our customer directly. If you wish to make your request directly to MaxMind, please provide the name of the MaxMind customer on whose behalf MaxMind processes your information. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.

If you have any issues with our compliance, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a European supervisory authority.

MaxMind 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 personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

This means that MaxMind shall be liable to you for any third party agent to which we transfer your personal data in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF and that processes such personal data in a manner that violates the EU-US DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, unless we can demonstrate that we are not responsible for the resulting damages. MaxMind takes reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is relevant to its intended use and is accurate, complete, and current and retained only as long as needed for an intended or compatible purpose.

In compliance with the EU-U.S DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S DPF, and the Swiss-U.S DPF Principles, MaxMind commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information transferred to the United States pursuant to the EU-U.S DPF, the UK extension to the EU-U.S DPF, and the Swiss-U.S Data Privacy Framework Principles. European Union, United Kingdom, and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints should first contact our Data Protection Officer set forth in Section 11 of this Privacy Policy.

MaxMind has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and Swiss-U.S. DPF program to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, Data Privacy Framework Services, operated by BBB National Programs.
