Multi-Regional Data Hosting Policy

Last Updated: March 28, 2024

This Multi-Regional Data Hosting Policy (“Policy”) describes where Contact Data can be hosted by ActiveCampaign for eligible customers. This Policy forms an integral part of the ActiveCampaign Terms of Service (“Terms”).

Starting from February 19, 2024, ActiveCampaign’s data center in the European Union (“EUDC”) became generally available to eligible customers for data hosting in this region. In addition, with effect from March 21, 2024, ActiveCampaign’s data center in the Asia-Pacific (“APACDC”) became generally available to eligible customers.

Please read this Policy carefully before using our Services to understand where your Contact Data can be hosted.

1) Definitions, Interpretation and Applicability

(a) All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Policy will have the meaning given to them in the Terms.

(b) In addition, the following terms, when used in this Policy (whether or not they are capitalized), will have the following meaning:

“Exclusions” means the Services and related processing of Contact Data not covered by this Policy and which will continue outside of the Region, as may be further described in Section 3 below.
“Hosting” or “Hosted” means the storing, hosting, or replicating of Contact Data, including for archival and backup purposes.
“Process” or “Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on data, whether or not by automated means, such as the access, collection, use, storage, disclosure, dissemination, combination, recording, organization, structuring, adaption, alteration, copying, transfer, retrieval, consultation, disposal, restriction, erasure and/or destruction of data.
“Region” means the region or geographic area where your Contact Data is primarily hosted within our cloud infrastructure.

(c) The EUDC and the APACDC will be considered part of ActiveCampaign’s Services and all terms and conditions of the Terms will apply to this Policy. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms, this Policy will govern, supersede and prevail. There will be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Policy will be construed or interpreted against the drafter.

(d) This Policy does not apply to: (i) Contact Data hosted by or exported to your own servers; (ii) Contact Data processed in connection with a Beta Feature or the Conversations Platform; or (iii) Contact Data hosted or processed by third parties that offer services, features or functionality in connection with our Services (including but not limited to any integrations that you use in conjunction with your ActiveCampaign account). You acknowledge and agree that we do not operate the services, features or functionality offered by third parties and we do not control where such third party providers may host your data, which is entirely between you and the applicable third party provider. Please contact the applicable third party provider directly if you have questions about the hosting or processing of your data through their services.
