Who is Appzi?

Appzi, Inc. is an American startup founded in the state of Delaware, United States of America. It was founded in November 2017.

How does Appzi work?

Appzi is a service that enables You to capture the voice of website users. We do this by providing feedback tools and survey widgets. Appzi gives the owners and operators of a Appzi Enabled Site insights and bug reports that are reported by end users so that You can improve the end user’s experience and performance of the Appzi Enabled Site.

The Feedback tools allow us and Our Customers to hear what You have to say (Voice of User / Customer).

Appzi Enabled Sites insert a tracking code onto their respective website which is transmitted to Our servers based in the United States of America (USA). This tracking code contacts Appzi’s servers and provides a script to Your computer or device accessing the Appzi Enabled Site. The script will capture specific data related to the viewer’s interaction with that particular webpage. This information is then sent to Appzi’s servers for processing.

Through these tools, Appzi assists the owners and operators of Customer Websites in providing their End Users with a better experience and service as well as assist them in diagnosing technical problems and analyse user trends. Most importantly, through Appzi’s code, software and services, the functionality of the Customer Websites can be improved, make them more user-friendly, more valuable and simpler to use by the End Users.

Information processed by Appzi

Appzi may collect and process information which is automatically and passively collected, whilst You navigate through and interact with the content on a Appzi Enabled Site, together with information on Your device or computer (such as cookies).

The sole purpose of passively collecting Your information is to improve Your experience when using a Appzi Enabled Site.

Through the Appzi code embedded on a Appzi Enabled Site, the information collected and processed includes:

Device-specific data

The following information may be collected related to Your device and browser:

device’s IP address (captured and stored in an anonymized format);
device screen resolution;
device type (unique device identifiers), operating system, and browser type;
geographic location (country only);
preferred language used to display the Appzi Enabled Site.

For a sampling of visitors, Our servers automatically record information which is collected from Customer Websites and Our Site. This data includes:

referring URL and domain;
pages visited;
geographic location (country only);
preferred language used to display the webpage;
date and time when website pages were accessed.

Appzi Enabled Sites use cookies to collect non-personal information including standard internet log information and details of Your behavioural patterns upon visiting a Appzi Enabled Site. This is done to enable the operators of a Appzi Enabled Site to provide You with a better experience, identify preferences, diagnose technical problems, analyse trends and generally to help Our Customers improve their website.

Cookies are small data files transferred onto computers or devices by websites for record-keeping purposes and to enhance functionality on the Appzi Enabled Site.

We may also use cookies to record login details on Your device or computer. This helps to determine whether a particular device previously visited a specific Appzi Enabled Site so that the login details would not have to be re-entered each time You visit that Appzi Enabled Site.

Most browsers allow You to choose whether to accept cookies or not. If You do not wish to have cookies placed on Your computer, please set Your browser preferences to reject all cookies, before accessing any Appzi Enabled Site. Please note that by doing so, some features of certain Appzi Enabled Sites may become unavailable.

How Appzi secures data

Appzi has implemented various measures to ensure that the information is adequately protected against unauthorised access, use, disclosure and destruction. Please keep in mind that risk can never be eliminated but can be significantly mitigated and reduced. All measures which Appzi has taken significantly reduce the risk. Appzi shall not be held liable by any Third Party, including You, in any event of unauthorized access, use and/or disclosure of information provided that such is not due to Gross Negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith by Appzi.

Security measures adopted by Appzi include:

access to the information stored within Appzi’s servers is restricted to a limited number of Appzi employees and to users designated on our Customer’s accounts and Third Parties who can access the information only in specific and limited circumstances and are bound by confidentiality;
Appzi’s servers are protected by a) firewalls establishing a barrier between Our trusted, secure internal network and the Internet and b) IP restrictions, limiting access to whitelisted IPs;
each Customer may only access information pertaining to its Customer Website that it is tracking and to the specific End Users visiting such Customers Website;
we use HTTPS for Appzi’s Services providing secure transfer of data to prevent wiretapping and man-in-the-middle attacks;
Appzi reviews its information collection and processing practices periodically and will review and amend this Privacy Policy accordingly.
