Information Collected Automatically

Information Related to the Use of the Services. We may collect certain information automatically when you use the Services. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, cookie and other unique identifiers, details about your browser, operating system or device, location information (including inferred location based off of your IP address), Internet service provider, pages that you visit before, during and after using the Services, information about the links you click, information about how you interact with the Services, including the frequency and duration of your activities, and other information about how you use the Services. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Analytics. We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Services. Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your device that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our Services.

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in device browsers to store their preferences. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies. However, if you do that, the Services may not work properly.
  • Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded in the Services that collects information about engagement with the Services. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in emails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted on, or forwarded.

Analytics. We may use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect and process analytics information on our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the website by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Session Replay Providers. We use Hotjar for session replay analytics. Hotjar’s service allows us to record and replay an individual’s interaction with the Services. This helps us understand our user’s experience and how we can improve our Services.

For more information about Hotjar, please visit: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy. You can opt out of Hotjar’s processing of your information on our website by visiting: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.

Information from Other Sources

We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third party services and organizations. For example, if you access our Services through a third-party application, such as a third-party login service, we may collect information about you from that third-party that you have made available via your privacy settings.

How We Use Automatic Collection Technologies. We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising or other functionality on the Services, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies to automatically collect information through the Services. Our uses of these Technologies fall into the following general categories:

Cross-Device Tracking. Your browsing activity may be tracked across different websites and different devices or apps.

To do this our technology partners may share data, such as your browsing patterns, geo-location and device identifiers, and will match the information of the browser and devices that appear to be used by the same person.

INFORMATION WE OBTAIN FROM DATA PARTNERS

In order to provide our geospatial analytics Services, we obtain information from trusted third-party data partners about mobile devices that have visited an area of interest to us or our customers. This information may include:

  • Mobile advertising identifiers (e.g., Apple IDFA and Google Android IDs);
  • Precise geolocation and proximity of a device if location services are enabled (usually expressed in latitude/longitude coordinates along with a date and timestamp);
  • The horizontal accuracy of the latitude/longitude coordinates;
  • Dwell time near areas of interest;
  • Phone carrier and connection type (e.g., cellular, WiFi);
  • The direction in which the device is traveling as a degree coordinate and speed of the device;
  • Information about the device such as device type, model and OS type and version;
  • Device language;
  • IP address of the device;
  • Available or connected WiFi SSID and/or BSSID names;
  • Altitude and vertical accuracy;
  • Whether a device is charging;
  • Bluetooth connected/ available devices;
  • Bluetooth beacon proximity and any related metadata; and
  • Connected car details (including make, model, and year), location, and travel details (including route, distance traveled, direction, and speed)

Our third-party data partners receive this information through relationships they have with mobile applications. The mobile applications provide the information to our data partners via software development kits (“SDKs”) embedded directly into the mobile applications and through APIs which are interfaces through which these mobile applications can provide our data partners with information about their end users.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN FROM DATA PARTNERS

All Orbital Insight employees are required to maintain the privacy and security of personal information we obtain from data partners.

Research, Analytics, and Commercial Purposes. We use the information we obtain from our data partners for a variety of research, analytics, and commercial purposes, including traffic analysis (for instance, tracking what devices are within a certain area of interest at selected times and which parts of a city are most busy at selected times), analytics (for instance, footfall analysis based on device traffic), and market research (for instance, analyzing consumer shopping trends or business intelligence based on device traffic).

We typically carry out these activities to help our customers with a specific project or initiative. When we work with our customers, we present our analysis in an aggregate and/or de-identified manner and we do not share mobile advertising identifiers with our customers.

In some cases, we may also engage in these activities for our own purposes, including to develop and improve our Services.

OUR LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

For purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, our processing of the personal information we obtain from our data partners supported by the following lawful bases:

· Legitimate Interest: We process personal information to further our and our customers’ legitimate interests but only where such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects. Examples of these legitimate interests may include research, processing for historical and statistical purposes, and processing to carry out general business activities.

· Compliance with our Legal Obligations: We may process personal information to comply with our legal obligations.

HOW TO OPT OUT OF SHARING INFORMATION WITH DATA PARTNERS

You may be able to opt out of sharing your device’s mobile advertising identifiers (and geolocation data associated with it) with our data partners by adjusting the settings on your mobile device, including by following the instructions for Android and iOS. For devices that do not utilize Android or iOS, you may be able to use your device’s operating system controls in your settings to exercise choice. Please note that mobile operating systems may change these options in the future.

You can also use your device settings to disable the collection of geolocation data at the mobile application level. However, if you do so, certain services that rely on geolocation data to function may be affected.

Please note that adjusting your mobile device’s settings does not impact any device identifiers already in our possession. To exercise any of the rights you may have under applicable data protection laws in the information that we have obtained from our data partners, please see “YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS” below.

DISCLOSING INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We may share information with the following categories of third parties:

Service Providers. We may share any information we collect with our third-party service providers. The categories of service providers to whom we entrust information include: vendors to support the provision of the Services; IT and related services; email services; and customer service providers.

Affiliates. We may share information with our affiliated entities.

Advertising Partners. When you visit our website, we may allow third party advertising partners to set Technologies and other tracking tools to collect information regarding your activities and your device (e.g., your IP address, cookie identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other services) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third party services within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “personalized advertising.” If you prefer not to share your personal information with third party advertising partners, you may follow the instructions below.

Disclosures to Protect Us or Others. We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store associated with you to external parties if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; protect your, our or others’ rights, property, or safety; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Disclosure in the Event of Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by law and/or contract.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

All information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. We endeavor to safeguard your information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws.

YOUR CHOICES – PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM CUSTOMERS AND WEBSITE VISITORS

General. You may be able to opt out of certain uses of your personal information.

Email Communications. If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails regarding products or Services you have requested. We may also send you certain non-promotional communications regarding us and our Services, and you will not be able to opt out of those communications (e.g., communications regarding the Services or updates to this Privacy Notice).

Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising. You may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits.

The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these websites and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/.
