"We continually monitor your activities on our Services and Marketing Content that you transmit through our Services. We may delete or remove messages and content at any time and for any reason. We also monitor message recipients' actions to check for above average bounce, abuse and/or unsubscribe rates. If any rate becomes abnormal, your account may be subject to manual review by ActiveCampaign.Excerpt from ActiveCampaign's Acceptable Use Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The collection and monitoring of recipient engagement data (bounce rates, unsubscribe rates, abuse reports) involves processing of contact-level behavioral data that may engage GDPR Article 6 processing bases and data minimization principles for EU-based recipients. The FTC's framework on consumer data handling may be relevant to the scope of recipient-level monitoring disclosed here. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy does not define what constitutes an abnormal bounce, abuse, or unsubscribe rate, meaning the threshold for manual review and potential account action is not determinable by customers in advance. The authority to delete content for any reason without notice or documented criteria creates operational uncertainty for customers. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK customers should assess whether the recipient-level monitoring disclosed in this clause involves personal data processing that requires disclosure in their own privacy notices to contacts, given that the monitoring extends to contact-level engagement behavior. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Customers should assess whether the monitoring scope described in this clause is consistent with their data processing agreements with ActiveCampaign and whether the processing of recipient-level engagement data requires a data processing addendum under GDPR. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should review whether the recipient engagement monitoring described in this clause requires disclosure in their own privacy policies or contact consent communications. Data mapping exercises should include ActiveCampaign as a processor of recipient-level behavioral data.
