Effective Date: April 6, 2020 – Last Reviewed and Updated April 6, 2020
This notice addresses the data Medallia collects to provide our SaaS platform and services to our clients. Clients use this platform to collect customer feedback through different channels, including surveys and integrations with other platforms. Medallia also provides reporting applications that allow our clients to view and analyze the collected feedback.
In our privacy notice, we use the following terms:
Medallia’s and our Clients’ Roles in Data Collection. In providing the Medallia Experience Cloud to our clients, Medallia collects data only according to our clients’ instructions. Our clients specify what customers we should contact to provide feedback, when we should contact them (for example, after completing a purchase at a client’s retail store), how we should contact them (for example, email or SMS), how often we should send them reminders to provide feedback, and what questions are asked. Medallia’s clients also decide whether to use inbound or outbound data integrations, and how to use or respond to feedback that is collected.
Medallia enters into agreements with our clients that legally obligate Medallia to protect data we receive or are directed to collect, and use it only to provide the products and services specified by the client. Under many data protection laws, including those in Europe, Medallia is considered a “data processor” to our clients, and our clients are considered “data controllers.” As data controllers, Medallia clients are responsible for complying with laws that may require notice, disclosure or consent related to the transfer of data to Medallia or its use in the Medallia Experience Cloud.
For more information on the types of data collected by a particular Medallia client, refer to the privacy notice or communications of the Medallia client. Our clients’ privacy notices are commonly located in the Medallia survey invitation (for web-based surveys) or on the client’s web site or mobile application (for digital surveys).
Legal Basis for Processing. Medallia clients provide instructions with regard to the upload, collection, transfer, and access of personal data in the Medallia Experience Cloud. As such, Medallia clients determine the legal basis they have for data processing. Medallia clients can use legitimate interest or consent as a legal basis for processing personal data in the Medallia Experience Cloud, although others may apply. For more information, refer to the privacy notice or communications of the Medallia client.
Identity of the Data Controller. As data controllers, Medallia clients are responsible for identifying themselves, where appropriate, in communications sent by the Medallia Experience Cloud. For example, Medallia survey invitations sent by email or SMS should identify the name of the Medallia client who directs us to conduct the survey. If you are having trouble identifying the data controller associated with a particular Medallia survey, please contact Medallia survey support here.
Web-based Surveys and Chat Communications. In web-based surveys offered by the Medallia Experience Cloud, customers or employees receive a survey invitation and respond to the survey in a web interface. In addition, with the Medallia Experience Cloud’s chat communication products, clients can communicate with their customers through SMS or popular messaging applications. To send survey invitations or chat communications Medallia clients can, for example, provide the Medallia Experience Cloud with customer names, email addresses, mobile phone numbers, social messaging handle, and information about the customers’ interactions with their business (e.g., the name of the client’s store where the customer shopped or the hotel at which they are staying). In addition, Medallia clients can provide the Medallia Experience Cloud with information that segments customers into groups, such as the type of account the customer holds, the type of product or service purchased, or whether the customer is enrolled in a loyalty program.
When a respondent navigates to a Medallia web-based survey or a chat communication, Medallia collects the respondent’s IP address, the date and time the respondent accessed the survey, survey or chat responses (typically numerical scores and narrative text responses), how far the user has navigated in the survey, and the type of device and web browser the customer used to access the survey. In some surveys, clients also direct Medallia to collect the geographical location of the customer’s device that is used to access the survey.
Digital Surveys. Clients can use the Medallia Experience Cloud’s digital feedback capture tools to prompt their customers to respond to a survey within the client’s digital channels, such as a web page or mobile application. Clients can configure these surveys to:
Integrations. Clients can integrate other tools, processes or platforms as inbound sources of data for the Medallia Experience Cloud, such as CRM platforms or marketing tools. For CSM Tools, Clients can integrate other tools, processes, or platforms via pre-built or custom-built data connectors. For example, data may be pulled into CSM Tools from analytics platforms, app monitoring platforms, client databases, or data warehouses. Medallia clients control what data is stored in the Medallia Experience Cloud from these integrations. For more information, refer to the privacy notice or the communications of the Medallia client.
Clients can also configure the Medallia Experience Cloud as an outbound source of data for other tools, processes, or platforms, such as collaboration tools. Clients and any third parties associated with those tools, processes, or platforms are responsible for managing personal data outside the Medallia Experience Cloud. For example, clients can configure surveys to prompt customers to write reviews on third-party websites. If a customer chooses to submit a review for publication on that third-party site, any information the customer provides on that site is governed by the privacy notice or communications of that site.
Medallia Reporting Applications. Medallia provides clients web-based and mobile applications that are used by employees of Medallia clients to review and analyze customer feedback and other data collected in the Medallia Experience Cloud (referred to as “reporting applications” in this notice). To provide their employees access to these applications, clients may send Medallia employee names, identifiers (e.g., an employee ID), job title or function, and the store or business location they are associated with.
When an employee accesses a Medallia reporting application, Medallia collects the employee’s user name, IP address of the device used to access the reporting application, geographic area associated with the IP address, type of web browser and mobile device, time and date that the reporting application was accessed, and areas of the reporting application that were visited.
Social Media Features and Widgets. Clients can configure surveys to include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets, such as the “share this” button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy notice or privacy-specific communications of the company providing them.
CSM Tools. Our CSM Tools, such as the Strikedeck platform, can be used by employees of Medallia clients to review and analyze customer feedback data as well as customer success data to track customer interactions, satisfaction levels, and product usage. Clients may also send surveys, alerts or other email communications directly from the CSM Tools. Medallia clients may also use data connectors to directly pull in information about their customers’ interactions with their business. In addition, clients can provide the CSM Tools with information that segments customers into groups, such as the type of account the customer holds or usage behavior, or on an individual level, such as by contact type.
Information Medallia Does Not Collect. Unless configured by a client to do so, the Medallia Experience Cloud does not collect sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or government identification numbers, nor does it collect information defined as “sensitive personal data” under EU law, such as race, sexual orientation, or union membership.
By Medallia and Partners. Medallia uses personal data gathered in the Medallia Experience Cloud to provide the SaaS platform and services for which the client has engaged Medallia.
These uses can include contacting a client’s customers to provide feedback for web-based and digital surveys, providing gathered feedback and assisting the customer in managing data in the Medallia Experience Cloud, and analyzing the data gathered to improve the client’s business.
Medallia Clients. Medallia clients can use personal data collected in the Medallia Experience Cloud to improve their customers’ experiences with their business. Clients can use Medallia’s reporting applications to provide customer feedback to their front line employees, as well as managers and executives. Clients can also perform analysis in customer feedback to prioritize and make operational changes to their business, and use personal data gathered in the Medallia Experience Cloud to send follow-up communications to customers.
Medallia Professional Services and Support. When a Medallia client engages Medallia’s professional services teams, Medallia professional services employees in Medallia’s Group Companies can access personal data of that client to perform work associated with tasks described above. If there is a support request, troubleshooting issue, or technical error (e.g., bug or product malfunction) that requires access to personal data, Medallia support and engineering staff in the Group Companies who are needed to address the issue will access that data.
Access to personal data stored in the Medallia Experience Cloud is provided using systems, procedures and controls approved by Medallia’s security team. Access is provided only as long as needed to perform the necessary work.
Third Party Professional Services, Servicing and Support. If permitted by a client, Medallia can use third parties to provide support for respondents and individuals who use the Medallia Experience Cloud. Medallia clients can also provide access to the Medallia Experience Cloud to third party partners to perform systems integration, consulting, market research or servicing. For examples of Medallia’s professional services partners, see https://www.medallia.com/partners/.
Medallia Clients. Medallia clients can provide their employees access to the Medallia Experience Cloud so that they can view and analyze gathered feedback. For more information, please contact the appropriate Medallia client.
Third-Party Technology Providers. Medallia transfers personal data as needed to vendors who provide our help desk ticketing software, support our technical operations (including vendors who assist us with web and mobile visitor analytics and SaaS event logging), assist with data transmission (including content delivery networks), and provide data storage. Depending on the technology integrations or features chosen by a Medallia client, we also transfer personal data of our client’s customers and respondents as needed to provide the integrations or features (including, for example, interactive voice response, SMS, machine translation, or screen capture features).
Third parties that are provided access to personal data in the Medallia Experience Cloud are evaluated by Medallia’s vendor risk management program and agree to appropriate security and data processing agreements with them.
Medallia maintains a comprehensive security program with appropriate organizational and technical security practices measures to protect data stored in the Medallia Experience Cloud. For more details, visit https://www.medallia.com/security/.
The data of a Medallia client is retained in the Medallia Experience Cloud until the termination of the client’s subscription, unless earlier deleted or modified per the client’s request.
The Medallia Experience Cloud provides clients tools and processes for data modification, export, or deletion to address the needs of individuals in the EEA, or in other jurisdictions that provide individuals similar rights. If you are a individual who wants to modify, access, or delete personal data associated with you in the Medallia Experience Cloud, please contact the appropriate Medallia client.
Medallia offers its clients opt-out mechanisms to include in communications to individuals. Individuals who exercise an opt-out mechanism will be opted out of further communications for the relevant client for that communication channel.
Personal data of data subjects can be processed by Medallia Group Companies or third parties in countries that have data protection laws different from those applicable to the data subjects. To satisfy adequacy requirements related to this international data transfer (such as those in the EEA):
Medallia will provide data discussed in this notice to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend Medallia’s legal rights, or (iiii) to protect the vital interests of our clients and their employees, customers and respondents, or those of any other person. When requested by legal authorities to disclose personal information, Medallia will inform the court of various factors justifying confidentiality and customer or respondent anonymity. Medallia will communicate with the affected client or individual as soon as possible, unless prohibited by law or court order.
If Medallia is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of its assets, Medallia may transfer data discussed in this notice to the buyer or new parent company. In this circumstance, the appropriate individuals will be notified about the change in ownership and use of their personal data, as well as any choices they may have regarding personal data.
Medallia clients can use the Medallia Experience Cloud to gather feedback from individuals under 16. Such clients are responsible for complying with any applicable laws that require notice, disclosure or consent to individuals under 16. For more information, refer to the privacy notice or privacy-specific communications of the Medallia client.
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.

Cookies are placed on a respondent’s computer when they visit web-based surveys navigated to from an invitation sent by the Medallia Experience Cloud, when a respondent visits the domain of one of our clients that has enabled Medallia’s digital surveys, or when an employee of a Medallia client logs on to a reporting application. These cookies enable Medallia to remember a user’s preferences (such as language), ensure the security and integrity of client data, improve our products, and personalize a respondent’s survey experience. In addition, these cookies enable a Medallia client to identify a user across different browsers or devices that access a client’s web domain, record information about the browsing session on the domain, and to customize surveys presented to the user on that domain based on that information and additional rules.
The Medallia Experience Cloud does not place cookies on a user’s computer for advertising purposes.

This notice addresses Medallia’s responsibilities to our clients and required disclosures to California consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or CCPA. This notice supplements our Medallia Experience Cloud Notice and our Website Notice.
In this notice, we use the following terms:
Medallia’s activity related to the CCPA
For the purposes of this notice, Medallia has two areas of activity that are related to the CCPA.
First, Medallia collects data from consumers in the course of providing a software platform called the Medallia Experience Cloud to its clients. In this activity, Medallia acts strictly as a “service provider” to our clients under the CCPA, and our clients are “businesses”.
In the Medallia Experience Cloud, Medallia collects customer data based on our clients’ instructions. For example, our clients specify what consumers we should contact to provide feedback, when we should contact them (e.g., after completing a purchase at a client’s retail store), how we should contact them (e.g., email or SMS), how often we should send them reminders to provide a response, and what questions are asked. Medallia’s clients also decide how to use or respond to feedback that is collected.
Second, Medallia collects data from consumers in the course of its marketing efforts. This includes information we collect voluntarily from forms on our website and event registrations, information we collect automatically when you visit our website, and information we obtain from third party sources. In this activity, Medallia acts as a “business” under the CCPA.
Medallia’s handling of personal information under the CCPA
Regardless of which area of activity applies to you, Medallia does not sell your personal information.
To be clear, in the previous 12 months we have not sold, rented, released, disclosed, disseminated, made available, transferred, or otherwise communicated a consumer’s personal information to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. If that changes, we will update this notice.
Further, when we provide the Medallia Experience Cloud to our clients, we do not:

Consumer rights under the CCPA
Your rights under the CCPA include the right to request a copy of the specific personal information collected about you in the 12 months prior to the request, and a business’s data collection practices (including categories of information collected, how information is used, and who it is disclosed to). We will generally refer to these as “access requests”.
In addition, with some exceptions, you can request deletion of the personal information that is collected about you. We will generally refer to these as “deletion requests”.
With respect to personal data of consumers collected in the Medallia Experience Cloud, Medallia’s clients are responsible for fulfilling access and deletion requests. Medallia supports these requests by offering our clients product features, processes and assistance in exporting personal information about individuals. These product features and processes complete the data deletion within 30 days of receiving the request from our client.
With respect to the personal data of consumers collected in Medallia’s marketing efforts, we are responsible for fulfilling access and deletion requests.
