Madison Performance Group Privacy Policy

Effective on: July 30, 2024

​

Introduction and Scope

488 Performance Group Inc. d/b/a Madison Performance Group (“Madison”, “we”, “us”, “our”) takes the protection of personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) very seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) addresses data subjects whose Personal Data we may process on behalf of our customers in the course of providing, implementing, and supporting our Maestro web application, including our merchandise catalog (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy does not apply to Personal Data we collect by other means, such as Personal Data that we receive directly through our marketing website(s) or the Personal Data of our employees.

​

Controllership

Madison acts as an agent, also known as a data processor, for the Personal Data we process for our customers when providing our Services. This means that our customers determine the type of Personal Data they provide for us to process on their behalf. We typically have no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personal Data we receive from our customers.

 

Basis of Processing

Within the scope of this Policy, we process Personal Data based on the instructions of our customers.

 

How We Receive Personal Data

We may receive your Personal Data when:

  • you provide it directly to us as part of using our Services;

  • our customers (including their employees, contractors, and other representatives of the company) provide it to us; or

  • our service providers provide it to us.

 

Categories of Personal Data

We may process the following types of Personal Data:

  • Log-in information, such as username and password;

  • Profile information;

  • Contact information, such as email address and postal addresses;

  • Professional information, such as employer company and position; and

  • Shipping information.

 

Purposes of Processing

We may process your Personal Data for the purposes of:

  • Allowing users to log on to and use the Service;

  • Populating and modifying profiles;

  • Allowing users to enter contests;

  • Tracking points and allowing users to spend points;

  • Tracking various milestones; and

  • Tracking and establishing incentive, reward, and recognition programs.

 

Data Retention

We retain Personal Data for as long as instructed by the respective customer (who typically acts as a data controller). We delete the Personal Data submitted to us within six months of the end of our service agreement with the customer, unless applicable laws or the specific agreement with that customer require otherwise.

 

Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

We may share Personal Data with our service providers, who process Personal Data on our behalf, and who agree to use the Personal Data only to assist us in providing our Services or as required by law. Our service providers may provide:

  • Internet hosting services;

  • cloud storage services;

  • call center services; and

  • merchandise vendor services.

 

Some of these third parties may be located outside of the United States. However, before transferring your Personal Data to these third parties, we will either ask for your explicit consent or require the third party to maintain at least the same level of privacy and security for your Personal Data that we do. We remain liable for the protection of your Personal Data within the scope of our Data Protection Framework  certification that we transfer to third parties, except to the extent that we are not responsible for the event that leads to any unauthorized or improper processing.

 

Other Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We may disclose your Personal Data to the extent required by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that we need to disclose it in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings (whether initiated by governmental/law enforcement officials, or private parties). We may also disclose your Personal Data if we sell or transfer all or some of our company’s business interests, assets, or both, or in connection with a corporate restructuring. Finally, we may disclose your Personal Data to our subsidiaries or affiliates, but only if necessary for business purposes, as described in the section above.

 

We reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data for any legal business purpose. Such data does not include any Personal Data. The purposes may include analyzing usage trends or seeking compatible advertisers, sponsors, and customers.

 

If we have to disclose your Personal Data to governmental/law enforcement officials, we may not be able to ensure that those officials will maintain the privacy and security of your Personal Data.

 

Cookies

A “cookie” is a small file stored on your device that contains information about your device. We may use cookies to provide basic relevant ads, website functionality, authentication (session management), usage analytics (web analytics), and to remember your settings, and generally improve our websites and Services.

 

We use session and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain even after you close your browser, but always have an expiration date. Most of the cookies placed on your device through our Services are first-party cookies, since they are placed directly by us.

 

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can change the setup of your browser to reject all or some cookies. Note, if you reject certain cookies, you may not be able to use all of our Services’ features. For more information, please visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/.

 

You may also set your browser to send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. For more information, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/. Please note that our Services do not have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from web browsers.

 

Data Integrity & Security

We have implemented and will maintain technical, administrative, and physical measures that are reasonably designed to help protect Personal Data from unauthorized processing. This includes unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

 

Access & Review

If we process your Personal Data, you may have the right to request access to (or to update, correct, or delete) such Personal Data.

 

If we have received your Personal Data in reliance on the Data Protection, you may also have the right to opt out of having your Personal Data shared with third parties and to revoke your consent to our sharing your Personal Data with third parties. You may also have the right to opt out if your Personal Data is used for any purpose that is materially different from the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or which you subsequently authorized. To submit these requests or raise any other questions, please contact us by using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

​Nearly five decades ago, our founder, Werner Haase, started Madison in 1975. Beginning as an incentive company, Madison had the first internet-based sales contest in 1995, followed a few years later by the first consolidated recognition web portal application.

 

Madison has evolved through consistent organic growth from a starter incentive company in the 1970s to a leading global social employee recognition and incentive company.
