Privacy Policy

Last updated on 23 March 2023

Introduction

MoEngage, Inc. (“MoEngage,” “us” or “we”) provides SaaS (software as a service) (the “Service”) that enables the providers of mobile applications and websites (the “App Providers”) to understand how end users who download, access and/or interact with App Providers’ services (the “End Users”) interact with their services. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and disclose data collected through the MoEngage Platform (the “Platform”), as a part of our Service. European Union should be sure to read the important information provided under the section – “Additional Information for European Union Users” in this Privacy Policy. We might update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Platform or by sending you an email or other notification prior to the changes becoming effective. We will also indicate when the changes will become effective. Please review our Privacy Policy on a regular basis. Any information that we collect is subject to the privacy policy in effect at the time such information is collected. This Privacy Policy only applies to MoEngage and does not apply to the practices of companies that MoEngage does not own or control, or to people that MoEngage does not employ or manage. This Privacy Policy has some provisions that only apply to App Providers and End Users, respectively, and it also has provisions that apply to both App Providers and End Users. Please read the applicable Privacy Policy provisions carefully before proceeding.

For End Users

How we collect and use information from the End Users

We obtain information about End Users to provide App Providers with behavioral and analytics data related to how End Users interact with their products and services (the “Applications”). We do not directly get personal information from End Users; we collect information using tracking code technology that App Providers install in their Applications and share with us pursuant to their information collection practices, which are typically outlined in a privacy policy like this one and made available on the App Provider’s website. We encourage all End Users to read the privacy policies of the Applications they access or use. The App Providers provide us with the following types of information about End Users: When an App Provider embeds our tracking code into its Applications, we access or obtain Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) such as an End User’s email address, name, and phone number, depending on the selections the applicable App Provider makes via the MoEngage Software Development Kits (the “SDKs”). We also access or obtain additional information about End Users’ use of App Providers’ Applications and End Users’ devices, such as the actions taken, content viewed, messages viewed, messages clicked, offers accepted, search terms entered, advertisements clicked, applications opened, applications sent to the background, transactions in which an End User engaged, application name, application version, application bundle identifier, operating system name, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP addresses, and access date, time, and location information. Please ensure you read, understand, and accept the privacy policies, and any terms of use of the App Provider that uses the MoEngage Service. By using our Service, you expressly relieve MoEngage from any and all liability arising from your use of the App Providers service. We analyze and use this information to provide and improve the MoEngage Service. MoEngage collects information under the direction of our App Providers and has no direct relationship with the End Users whose personal data it processes. If you are a customer of one of our App Providers and would no longer like to be contacted by one of our App Providers that use the MoEngage Service, please contact the App Provider directly. If the App Provider fails to respond to your request within 30 days, you may contact us with your request at [email protected].

How long do we retain information collected from End Users?

We will retain personal data we process on behalf of our App Providers for as long as needed to provide services to our App Providers. We will also retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. An End User who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct their query to our App Providers. If requested by App Providers to remove or access data, we will respond within 30 days.

Communications

App Providers are able to send you, the End Users, push notifications, thought In-apps, or email communications through the MoEngage Service.

Opt-Out

An End User who seeks to opt out must direct their query to their App provider. The App Providers may then request us to opt out of the said End User, which we shall do so within 30 days. Alternatively, the End User may contact us directly, by sending opt-out requests to [email protected].
