Privacy Policy

 

Last updated July 29, 2021

Alteryx respects your right to privacy. This policy describes the privacy practices Alteryx employs in its collection, receipt, and use of Personally Identifiable Information (“personal information”). This Privacy Policy explains who we are, how we collect, share and use personal information about you, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

Alteryx and its affiliated entities may be collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Alteryx,” “we,” or “us.” Alteryx’s websites (“Website”) may contain links to third parties. When you navigate away from our Website to such third-party websites, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. This Privacy Policy also explains how we collect, use and share personal information when users access our Website, our data analytics software platform (“Platform”) or otherwise interact with us.

For California-resident users, we also set out in the section entitled CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – CCPA specific disclosures about our collection and use of personal information because the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018 (CCPA) requires us to do that in a specific format, as well as the rights California residents have under the CCPA.

To make it easier to navigate this Privacy Policy, we have listed the subject headings below so you can go straight to them:

HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION

We have taken steps to assure that all information collected will remain secure and in its original form. As such, access to all personal information is strictly controlled. We have established appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in an effort to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.

To verify the security of your PC’s web connection at our Service, check the lower left corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken or a closed lock, then SSL is active and the server is secure. You may also check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the Website address will change from “http” to “https.”

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.

Specifically, our Website and Gallery servers are located in the United States of America, and our group companies and third-party service providers and partners operate around the world, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Singapore, Czech Republic, Japan, and Canada. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

  • If you wish to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.

  • You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
