At Dexibit, we take privacy seriously. We facilitate presentations, workshops and webinars on best practices for managing visitor privacy in the attractions industry, provide additional resources such as whitepapers and advisory tips to to help our customers understand more about visitor privacy and pursue a strategy which avoids using personal data for analytics purposes, where possible.

However, as a customer, investor or #musedata fan, you may share your personal data with us, or in visiting a venue powered by Dexibit, data on your visit may be shared with us by the venue.

This privacy policy provides information on how we treat this information.

If you need to clarify any aspect of our privacy policy, make a complaint or request to be forgotten, you can contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@dexibit.com.

This policy was last updated 28th January 2020 and may change from time to time; any amendments will apply from the date published here.

Dexibit has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, visit https://privacyshield.gov. Under the Privacy Shield Principles, individuals have the right to opt out of disclosures of their personal information to third parties; or uses of their personal information.

Mobile Location Analytics Code of Conduct

Dexibit aligns with the Mobile Location Analytics Code of Conduct. We make a public commitment to maintain depersonalized data, to not to try to reidentify data and to prohibit downstream recipients from trying to use data to identify a particular individual. For more information about location analytics or to log a request with the industry’s Central Opt Out facility, see smart-places.org.

Engaging with a venue powered by Dexibit

Dexibit provides big data analytics to visitor attractions, to help them make data informed decisions which power our cultural future. To do so, we integrate with systems or otherwise receive a variety of data such as footfall counters, WiFi presence, ticketed admission, membership management, point of sale, email marketing, social media, website traffic, tourism, events, weather and more. We store a copy of this data in our system and process it to predict and analyze visitor behaviour. The client venue retains ownership over this data and may extract it from Dexibit.

If you physically visit one of these client venues or otherwise engage with it via a digital channel (such as visiting a website, downloading an app or interacting over social media), data about your visit may be shared with us. Where the source systems of this data hold personally identifiable information such as your name or email address (for example, if you submitted this information to join a membership program), we redact this data so that personally identifiable information is not stored on our systems, to respect your privacy. Other data we consider to be delicate but not identifiable is often hashed, to further protect your privacy. Where we integrate with location positioning technologies (such as WiFi) we treat this data only as aggregate traffic, pursue suitable safeguards via our security standards, do not identify this data to an individual’s behavior and do not allow reverse look up.

We retain data we receive for the length of our commitment to our customer and may share benchmark industry insights taken from aggregate data. We will not otherwise share data with third parties, however if we are required by law or believe it necessary to protect our rights, we may disclose your information to a legal process or proceeding.

We recommend to these venues that they:

  • Comply with all privacy regulations applicable to their organization and consider a higher ethical standard
  • Provide you with an easy to understand, accessible and up to date privacy policy that covers both your digital experience and your physical visit to the venue
  • Indicate to you if the WiFi network is used for analytics purposes (including signage in the venue and notes in the WiFi access policy)
  • Encourage the appointment of a privacy officer, conduct privacy audits and improvements and review privacy processes such as forget requests
  • Consider providing a means for you to visit the attraction anonymously and only ask you for information they need and use it for only stated intentions

If you wish to remain anonymous during your visit, you can also select not to share your data with the venue, turn off your device’s WiFi and Bluetooth, set your web browsing to private and not download any apps provided by the venue.

You may choose to share your information with the venue, who should let you know what it will use that information for and seek your consent before using this information. If any of your personally identifiable information is collected during your visit, your express permission should be sought. Their handling of your personal information is subject to the venue’s own terms and privacy policy. Where your digital visit involves a third party solution, such as an app or social media, their handling of your personal information may be subject to the third party’s terms and privacy policies too.

Any questions about your privacy at an attraction you have visited should be directed to that organization in the first instance.
