1. Personal Information Users Actively Provide to Us

This section describes the various types of information that we may collect. In order to provide you with access to certain services or data within our Sites, we may require that you provide certain personal information, which may include, but is not limited to the examples listed below, “Personal Information”. Pitney Bowes also collects non-personal information that does not, on its own, identify an individual person. When non-personal information is combined with other information so that it does identify an individual person, we treat that combination as Personal Information.

The following are examples of the types of information that is considered Personal Information and that may be collected directly from you (or someone acting on your behalf):

  • Business Contact information (including Name, Street Address, Email Address, Telephone Number)
  • Government issued IDs (such as tax identification number) provided by you for business purposes
  • Pitney Bowes business user account username, password, and other information used in combination to verify identity
  • Corporate financial information (including credit/debit card and bank account information, credit and repayment history, and payment default information)
  • Geolocation, demographic, shipping/receiving, billing, and other information related to the purchase or delivery of Pitney Bowes products and services or services you access through the Sites
  • Any other personal information or characteristics about an individual that identifies such individual alone or that, if used in combination with one of the above or with other non-personally identifiable information, allows someone to identify such individual, such as date or place of birth, geographic data, or photographic images

By accessing and utilizing our Sites, including any interactive or automated chat or customer support features that may be made available on our Sites, or providing feedback to us or in connection with any optional surveys, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and processing of Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Please note, by law you are not required to provide us with your Personal Information. By electing to not share your Personal Information with us, you may be unable to take advantage of our Sites and we may be unable to provide you with all of the functionality we offer through our Sites or to fulfill your request.

2. Personal Information that We Collect Passively from Use of the Site

Pitney Bowes Sites may use several automated data collection tools and techniques including cookies, clickstream, and web beacons.

Cookies

Some of our Sites use cookies, which are a small amount of data (often including a unique identifier), which is sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive. We may use cookies so that we can better serve visitors on our Sites, understand usage, and improve the content and offerings on our Sites. Cookies may be placed by us or by our third-party service providers.

We, or our service providers, may: (1) use cookies to collect aggregate information about website users on an anonymous basis or (2) share aggregate demographic and usage information with our prospective and actual business partners, advertisers, and other third parties for any business purpose.

If you prefer not to have cookies, most web browsers include an option that allows you to not accept them. However, without cookies you may be unable to take full advantage of all of our Site features and some portions of our Sites may not function properly for you. To view a detailed list of the cookies we use on our website and to manage cookie settings, please view our cookie list.

Clickstream

We may collect information about the "clickstream" of our customers during their visit to our Sites. This clickstream data contains the pages the visitors came from, the navigational paths they took, and the areas of the Site they visited. From time to time we track such information inside and outside of our Sites. Additionally, we may track and match clickstream data with Personal Information you provide to us in order to deliver content and other offerings - i.e., products and services that might improve your customer experience. We may also share clickstream data with third parties in an aggregate or otherwise anonymous format.

Web Beacon

Certain email communications you receive from us may contain "web beacons." Web beacons consist of a line of code on our Sites that delivers a small graphic image. The web beacon may not be visible as it is a 1x1 pixel that is often designed to blend into the background of a web page. Web beacons allow us to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the browser type used to view the page and the information in cookies. We use web beacons for activities such as monitoring the effectiveness of the headlines in our emails or the ad banners.

IP Address

Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer, mobile device, or server) and is usually associated with the place from which you enter the internet. It is how devices find each other on a network. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, gather broad demographic information, gather geographic data, and administer our Sites.

Do Not Track Requests

We do not act on, alter, or change our Site behavior upon receiving Do Not Track requests from your browser.

3. Using and Retaining Personal Information

Personal information we collect through our Sites may be used to provide Pitney Bowes products and services pursuant to the terms and conditions of contracts with our business clients.  The legal basis for our use of your Personal Information in that context is to service the business client’s contract and to carry out our legitimate business interests.  We may also use your Personal Information to provide you as a client business representative with information regarding our products and services, or for marketing and promotions we believe you or your employer may find of interest. When we use your Personal Information in that context, the legal basis we use is legitimate business interest and, where required, your consent. We also may use the Personal Information you provide for our internal purposes, such as Site customization, enhancement or development, administration and operation of our Sites, data analytics, to help build, train, and improve the accuracy of our automated methods of processing, to communicate with you about your account, to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it, and compliance with our legal obligations, policies and procedures, including performance of Pitney Bowes obligations under sales contracts, leases or licenses between you and Pitney Bowes. In such instances, the legal basis for processing your Personal Information is to perform under our business client contracts and to exercise our legitimate business interests.

Unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law, we retain your Personal Information for the period disclosed to you at the time of collection, if any, or for the period necessary to fulfill any of the relevant purposes disclosed in this Privacy Statement.

4. Sharing Personal Information

Pitney Bowes does not sell Personal Information to third parties. However, there are certain situations where we may share your Personal Information where permitted or required by law, for example:

  1. Within the Pitney Bowes family of businesses, among personnel whose job duties require access to your Personal Information. Our legal basis for sharing your Personal Information in this instance is our contract with our business client and our legitimate business interests;
  2. With third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf (such as credit card companies, credit and/or investigative reporting agencies, finance companies, transport companies, consultants, advisors and market research firms). Our legal basis for sharing your Personal Information in this instance is our contract with our business client and our legitimate business interests; or
  3. For marketing campaigns conducted by us or other companies or organizations that offer related products or services we believe may be of interest to our clients, subject to your rights and choices as described in this Privacy Statement. Our legal basis for sharing your Personal Information in this instance is your consent when required, and our legitimate business interests.

Our service providers are required to keep the Personal Information received from us confidential and secure in accordance with this Privacy Statement and they may not use it for any purpose other than the purpose for which Pitney Bowes provided it.

We may also make information available to third parties in the following circumstances:

  1. When we have a good faith belief it is required by law or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement activity;
  2. When we have a good faith belief it is necessary to protect our rights or property from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity; or
  3. In the event of a proposed or actual merger, acquisition, liquidation, dissolution, or sale of assets.

In these circumstances, the legal basis for sharing your Personal Information is our legitimate business interests. Although your consent will not be required in these instances, we will attempt to notify you, to the extent the law requires.

Depending upon local law, you may either opt-in or opt-out of having your Personal Information shared for marketing or other purposes. In the event you opt-in, we will use and share your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Statement. In the event you opt-out, we will share your preference with the applicable third parties as appropriate. For information on how to do this, see the Your Choices section of this Privacy Statement below.

5. Protecting Personal Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the Personal Information we collect and process. No data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you feel that the security of any data that we hold about you has been compromised, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the Contact Us section below.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Sites, you are responsible for securing and managing your login credentials.

6. Visiting Nonaffiliated Pitney Bowes Websites

Our Sites may include links to third-party websites that operate independently from Pitney Bowes. Linked websites may have their own privacy statements or notices. Clicking on those links may allow those website owners to collect or share data about you. We are not responsible for: the content of any websites that are not affiliated with or owned by Pitney Bowes, any use of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites; and we strongly suggest you review their privacy statement for more information. Any information you provide when you visit a nonaffiliated Pitney Bowes website is subject to the privacy statement and terms of use posted on that website.

7. Cross Border Data Transfer

The international footprint of Pitney Bowes involves transfers of Personal Information between different subsidiaries, as well as to third parties located in the countries where we or our service providers operate. We may process, store, and transfer the Personal Information we collect, in and to a country outside your own, including outside the United States. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. By providing Personal Information or engaging with our Sites, you consent to this transfer, storing, or processing.

Some countries restrict certain transfers of Personal Information. Pitney Bowes complies with those restrictions by taking at least one or more of the following actions, including:

  • Pitney Bowes Inc. and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that receive Personal Information from countries outside of the United States adhere to applicable law and regulations regarding client, partner and employee Personal Information moving across geographical and jurisdictional borders.
  • Where required or permitted, Pitney Bowes implements Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission, or similar clauses in other jurisdictions, where available, between our corporate entities, our partners, and our clients.
  • Where applicable, Pitney Bowes relies on adequacy decisions, as adopted by the applicable authority or regulatory body. In particular, information about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and Pitney Bowes commitment to comply with the EU-US DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF, and the Swiss-US DPF may be found in the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Notice section below.

Pitney Bowes has self-certified its commitment to comply with the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and relies on the European Commission’s July 10, 2023, adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. DPF for such transfers.

Pitney Bowes has self-certified its commitment to comply with the UK Data Bridge and the Swiss-U.S. DPF and will not rely on the UK Data Bridge or the Swiss-U.S. DPF to receive Personal Information from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) or Switzerland, respectively, until the United Kingdom’s anticipated adequacy regulations implementing the data bridge for the UK Data Bridge enter into force, or the Swiss Federal Administration’s anticipated recognition of adequacy for the Swiss-U.S. DPF enter into force. Until the respective adequacy decisions enter into force, respectively, Pitney Bowes will rely on other recognized transfer mechanisms from such jurisdictions for such cross-border transfers, including model contractual clauses or other measures described above in the Cross Border Data Transfer section of this Privacy Statement.

We have certified to the United States Department of Commerce that we adhere to the DPF Principles with respect to Personal Information.
