When you use a third-party app that runs Mixpanel's analytics tools, Mixpanel handles your data on behalf of that app's owner, not on its own behalf, which means your data rights must generally be directed to that app rather than to Mixpanel.
This analysis describes what Mixpanel's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision determines who is responsible for your personal data and where you must direct rights requests; end users of apps built on Mixpanel's platform may have limited direct recourse against Mixpanel itself.
If your data is collected through a third-party product that uses Mixpanel's analytics, the policy states Mixpanel's obligations to you are governed by its contract with that product's operator, not by this privacy policy directly; you must contact that operator to exercise deletion, correction, or access rights.
How other platforms handle this
Where ZipRecruiter processes your Personal Data in the capacity of a service provider (data processor), and you seek access, or want to correct, amend, or delete your Personal Data...we will provide you with the data controller's contact information, so you can contact them directly.
If you choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, you do so at your own risk. We strongly encourage you to use caution in disclosing any personal information online.
When you are asked to provide information, you may decline to do so; but if you choose not to provide information that is necessary to provide some of our Services, you may not be able to use those Services.
"Mixpanel acts as a 'data controller' when we collect and use personal data for our own purposes, such as information about visitors to our website or customers who use our Service. Mixpanel acts as a 'data processor' when we process personal data on behalf of our customers. In this case, our customers are the data controllers and determine the purposes and means of processing. If you are an end user of one of our customers' products and have questions about how your data is handled, please contact that customer directly.Excerpt from Mixpanel's Privacy Statement
