1. What is the Personal Information that we collect and how is it collected?
(a) Personal Information provided by you. We collect Personal Information by asking you questions about yourself as an employee, service repair person, or contractor, as well as your contact information. We will use this information to create your MaintainX profile (“MaintainX Profile”). You may also provide us with Personal Information through any website mobile application provided to you by MaintainX. In addition to this information, we also collect certain Personal Information for administration of the MaintainX Service, including account credentials and payment information, although please note that payment card information is stored and maintained by our third-party payment processors.
(b) Personal Information automatically collected. While you use the MaintainX Service, we automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit our website or mobile software application. For example, we may receive: the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet, the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, the date and time you access our Service, and certain device information (e.g., type of device, operating system). We use this information to measure the usage of our Service, to understand how to serve you better, and to assist with our analytics, security, and error handling. For more information about the technology we use as part of this automatic collection of personal information, please see our Cookie Policy.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
(c) Outside sources. We may periodically collect Personal Information about you from business partners, contractors, and other third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which you affirmatively authorize those third parties to provide us with Personal Information.
2. Why do we collect Personal Information?

It allows us to provide you with easy access to our products and services, with a particular focus on the items and programs that may be of most interest to you.

Protecting the privacy and security of your Personal Information is a priority at MaintainX. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, MAINTAINX DOES NOT SELL OR RENT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES.
MaintainX may share a copy of your MaintainX Profile, which may include your email address (if provided) with: (i) our customers, so they can better personalize their service and maintenance programs and schedules (sharing of your MaintainX Profile with another organization is subject to your control); (ii) service providers, subcontractors, and agents who perform services on our behalf; and (iii) to third parties in certain business relationships, such as, but not limited to, co-branded offerings where we may offer a service or feature that is co-branded by MaintainX and the third party. If you provide Personal Information in connection with a co-branded service or feature, that Personal Information may be shared between MaintainX and the third party. MaintainX’s treatment of that Personal Information is governed by this Privacy Policy, but the third party’s treatment of your Personal Information will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy.
Some of our service providers provide analytics or advertising services on our behalf. This may include using cookies, either alone or in conjunction with other tracking technologies, to provide their services. This may include providing interest-based advertising either on the MaintainX Service or on other websites. For more information regarding your rights relating to these types of services, please review our Cookie Policy.
In addition, MaintainX may share any of your Personal Information with third parties as follows:
- Law Enforcement Officials and as Required by Law
- MaintainX may release any or all of your Personal Information to third parties when we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that it is necessary to (a) comply with the law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce or apply the terms of any of our policies or user agreements; or (c) protect the rights, property or safety of MaintainX, our employees, our customers, users, or others.

- If MaintainX becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its business or assets, your Personal Information may be provided to the entities and advisors involved, and your Personal Information may be transferred to a third party in connection with consummation of any such transaction. We will provide notice if your Personal Information becomes subject to a different privacy policy as a result of any such transaction.
5. How do we secure your Personal Information?
We take appropriate security measures, including physical, technological, and procedural measures, to help to safeguard your Personal Information and to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure. In addition, we use industry-standard technology, such as edge-protection devices and encryption in the transmission of certain sensitive Personal Information, designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your Personal Information and MaintainX Profile, and, as technology develops, we intend to take additional measures to improve security. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, however, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. How do we transfer your Personal Information?
We operate globally and may transfer your Personal Information and MaintainX Profile to individual companies and customers of MaintainX as part of the MaintainX Service. If you are interacting with MaintainX from outside the United States and provide us with any Personal Information, please note, in order for us to provide the MaintainX Service or otherwise communicate with you as set forth in this Privacy Policy, it will be necessary for your Personal Information to be transferred, stored, and processed within the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may not be as comprehensive as those in your country. However, wherever your Personal Information is transferred, stored, or processed by us, we will take steps as required by applicable law to ensure adequate levels of protection for your Personal Information.
If you are a customer located in the EU, please review and agree to the terms of our Data Processing Agreement available here: MaintainX DPA.
