Axon Vibe Privacy
Statement
Axon Vibe Inc. (“we”,
“us”, or “Axon Vibe”) respects the privacy of its users. This
Privacy Statement (“Statement”) describes our practices with respect to
information we collect from or about our users (“Your Information”) when using our services
and features (collectively the “Services”) in connection with the “Smart Alerts” or similar
location-based functionality (the “Functionality”). The
Functionality is a free, optional add-on opt-in service which we provide
through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority application (the “MTA App”). Axon
Vibe is not affiliated with the MTA and provides its Services independent from
the MTA App. Axon Vibe is not responsible for the MTA App and the MTA is not
responsible for any Personal Information collected through the Services.
This Statement explains how Axon
Vibe collects, uses, and discloses Your Information in connection with the Services,
and your rights in relation to that information. By agreeing to this Statement while
authorizing the Functionality and/or using the features made available to you through
the Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Statement and consenting to
the collection, use, and sharing of Your Information in a manner consistent
with this Statement.
What
Information We Collect about You
Your Information includes information we collect and process about you
such as:
Personal Information
you provide to us.
Precise location
information. We collect precise location information from
your device through GPS or other technologies, such as using WiFi signals, as well as movement sensor or pedometer data. The Functionality may collect this information
in the background on your device, even if you are not currently using the Functionality.
We may also collect location information directly from you through the Functionality.
We combine all of this information with other information about you
(Personal Information you provide to us and/or log data) and use it to create a
movement profile for your account. This
information allows us to better understand the places that you visit and the
patterns of your movement activity, as described further below in the section
entitled “How We Use Your Information That We Collect.”
The Functionality will ask
for your prior consent to the collection and use of your precise location and movement
sensor for these purposes through the settings on your mobile device during the
“On-Boarding Process.” If you would like
to withdraw your consent to the collection and use of precise location
information, you may change the settings in the Functionality. However, if you withdraw this consent and
turn off the location tracking at any time, then certain Services may not be
available to you.
How
We Use Your Information That We Collect
Axon Vibe uses Your
Information that we collect for the following purposes to improve our performance,
the Functionality and the Services:
To provide our Services
to you. Axon Vibe uses the information
that it collects about You to provide the Services to you, which includes
allowing us to identify alarms regarding travel plans. Additional services may
include providing notices of third-party rewards available to you.
In addition, the Functionality
collects, analyzes, and uses information about your location and movements to
create a personalized map of the places you have visited and your mobility
patterns. Axon Vibe will also use the
collected information to offer our trip-planning services, which include delivering
personalized notifications and advice about your commute, transportation
options, and other services in connection with your journeys. You can opt-out of the collection of this
data by turning off the location tracking at any time; however, if this opt-out
is exercised, then certain Services cannot be provided to you.
We also may use Your Information
and precise location information to improve the Services, such as to improve
our recommendations, determine popular destinations, and improve Your user
experience and the quality of our Services and Functionality.
To respond to You.
If we have information about
you, we also may use it to communicate with you, to respond to your questions or
requests concerning the Services, to send you information about our Services,
or to deliver confirmations, account information, notifications, or similar
operational communications.
For legal
purposes. We may use and share Your Information for legal purposes, including as
described below in the section entitled “How We Share Your Information with Third Parties.”
To manage our
business. We use Your Information to help us efficiently
operate the Services, to count and recognize visitors to the Services, to
enable certain features on the Services, and for other purposes related to
managing our business.
For analytics
and to improve the Services. We use Your
Information to analyze how visitors use the Services and their features,
to improve the Services and enhance users’ experiences, to create new products
and services, and to enable additional analytics and research concerning the Services.
For other
purposes. As permitted by applicable law, we may use Your Information for additional purposes in
connection with the Services, as described above.
How
We Share Your Information with
Third Parties
We share Your Information with
other parties for the following purposes described above:
Third-party
service providers. Axon Vibe uses third-party
service providers to help us manage and improve the Services. These service
providers may collect and/or use Your Information to assist us in achieving the
purposes discussed above in the section entitled “How We Use Your Information That
We Collect.” For example, we may use
third parties to perform data storage and processing services for us and to
help us communicate with our users.
These third-party service providers may use information received in the course of providing services to us only for the
specific purposes for which such information was disclosed.
Affiliates. We don’t disclose Your
Information to our affiliated companies.
Legal purposes. We also may use or share Your Information with third
parties when we believe, in our sole reasonable discretion, that doing so is
necessary:
· to
comply with applicable law or a court order, subpoena, or other legal process;
· to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
violations of our Terms and Conditions, or situations involving threats to our
property or the property or physical safety of any person or third party;
· to
establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
or
· to
facilitate the financing, securitization, insuring, merger, sale, assignment, bankruptcy,
or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets.
Anonymized information. From time to
time, Axon Vibe may also share anonymized information about users of the
Services, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Functionality.
Data
Retention and Security
Your Information is stored
and processed only in the United States.
Axon Vibe uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards to protect Your Information against loss or unauthorized
access, use, modification, or deletion. We encrypt Your Information when we transfer it to third parties over the
Internet. However, no security program
is foolproof, and thus we cannot guarantee the absolute security of Your
Information.
Axon Vibe may retain Your Information for as long as necessary to provide
the Services to you and to fulfill the purposes
described in this Statement. If you
would like Axon Vibe to delete Your Information associated with your account,
please follow the instructions in the “Reviewing, Updating, and Deleting Your Information” section below.
Reviewing
and Deleting Your Information
Axon Vibe provides you with a
“User Dashboard” accessible via Internet where You can access a visualization
of your location tracks. You also can download the collected location information
and location history.
You have the possibility to
stop the collection of location information by adjusting the settings of the Functionality.
You also may turn off location services on Your mobile device by visiting:
o iOS:
Settings > Privacy & Security, then select Location Services
o Android:
Settings > Personal, then select Location access
Please note, however, that
the Functionality requires your precise location for certain features to work
properly.
If You would like Axon Vibe
to permanently delete your account and Your Information associated with your
account, You may select “Delete Account” in the Functionality. We will delete Your Information within 30 days.
If the Functionality detects
no user activity for a period of 6 months, and location tracking mode is
switched off and as well the movement sensor and/or the collecting of pedometer
data, Axon Vibe shall assume that the user no longer wishes to use the Service
and will fully and irrevocably delete all data associated with that user. You may authorize the Functionality again,
but all of your historical data will have been
deleted.
Children’s
Privacy
The Services are not
directed to children under the age of 13, and Axon Vibe will never knowingly
collect information from anyone it knows is under the age of 13.
Third-Party Links, Websites, and
Apps
The Services may contain
links to and from the websites or apps of other third parties. If you follow a
link to any of these websites or apps, please note that these websites and
apps, and any services that may be accessible through them, have their own
privacy policies. This includes any
links to the MTA website or other MTA apps. The MTA’s collection and use of information is
independent of our Services and subject to the separate terms and conditions
agreed on between You and the MTA. We
are not responsible for the privacy practices of the MTA or other websites or
apps. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave the Services and to read the privacy policies applicable to
such third-party websites and apps. This Statement applies solely to
information collected in connection with the Functionality and the Services.
Changes
to This Statement
Technology and the Internet
are rapidly changing. Axon Vibe
therefore is likely to make changes to the Services in the future and as a consequence will need to revise this Statement to
reflect those changes. If we make a material changes to the Statement, you will be provided with
appropriate notice in the Functionality.
