We cannot control the privacy or security of information you choose to make public.
Nessis’s sharing
Nessis may share personally identifying information with your consent, for example, when you agree to our sharing of your personally identifying information with other third parties for their own marketing purposes, subject to their separate privacy policies.
Nessis may also share information with third parties whose services are integral to the use of the allTrac Devices. For example, we may share information collected from the allTrac Devices with content providers who have developed channels for the allTrac Devices. The use of data by such content providers is subject to their respective privacy policies.
Nessis uses third parties (including contractors and service providers) to provide services for us and to help with our operations, which may require that they access and use your information. For example, Nessis may use a third party to communicate with you (via telephone, email, or letter) about our products or services, to send information to you, to process and collect payment via your credit card (if applicable), to provide customer support, and to perform analytics and other work that we may need to outsource.
We may share some or all of your information with our current or future “affiliates” (which means a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control), in which case we will require our affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.
Nessis may also share your information with others in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company.
Nessis may also share your information to (i) comply with laws or to respond to lawful requests and legal process, (ii) to protect the rights and property of Nessis, our agents, customers, and others, including to enforce our agreements, policies, and terms of use, or (iii) in an emergency to protect the personal safety of Nessis, its customers, or any person, or (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities.
Finally, we may also share aggregated, anonymized or statistical information about you, including demographics data, with others for a variety of purposes, including for their own uses, for example, for improving their products and services for Nessis and others.
Part IV. Information Access and Choices
General requests
If you wish to ask for access, correction, or deletion of any of your personal information held by us or a change in the way we use your information (for which we reserve the right to charge you a small fee, as permitted by applicable law), please contact us at: hello@alltrac.ca. However, Nessis may only provide access to, correction of, or deletion of, personal information as required by applicable law.
Email marketing choices
Our marketing emails tell you how to “opt-out” of receiving further marketing emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your accounts and our business dealings with you, and as allowed by applicable law, requests for your participation in surveys. You may also contact us at hello@alltrac.ca at any time to let us know that you no longer wish to receive further marketing emails.
Nessis Site tracking choices
When you visit Nessis Sites, we and others give you choices described in the Nessis Cookies Policy about use of mechanisms for tracking, including tracking of your online activities over time and across different websites and online services by third parties. While we and others give you choices described in the Nessis Cookies Policy, there are many ways through which web browser signals and other similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and we may not be aware of or honor every mechanism.
allTrac Device and channel allTrac choices
You have the following choices about Nessis’s use of NIAs on your allTrac Device. These choices are device specific, so if you have more than one Nessis Device, you must make these choices in the “Settings” menu of each Nessis Device.
You can reset the NIAs on your Nessis Device. When you reset the NIAs for your Nessis Device, the original identifier will no longer be used to display personalized ads on that Nessis Device. A new identifier will be assigned for that purpose.
If you check “Limit Ad Tracking” on your Nessis Device, and personalized ads and ad measurement are not available on your Nessis Device, we will remember your selection for your Nessis Device when these ad features become available. If you check “Limited Ad Tracking” on a Nessis Device that has personalized ads and ad measurement enabled:
- Nessis will not serve personalized ads to you on that Nessis Device based on information tied to that device’s NIA. You will, however, still see ads on that Nessis Device, but these ads will be less relevant as they will not be customized based on the NIA for that Nessis Device. Your selection will affect only the ads delivered by Nessis on your Nessis Device. In addition, Nessis will make available to channel providers your preference that they not use your NIA to display personalized ads on your Nessis Device. Nessis, however, cannot guarantee that such channel providers will honor your preference. For information on a specific channel provider’s advertising and privacy practices, you should consult that channel’s privacy policy; and
- Your Nessis Device will cease passing certain ad measurement data using allTrac to third party measurement service providers such as Nielsen. Such ad measurement data include content viewed next to the ad and other data that do not directly identify you (unless you are a panelist for a measurement provider such as Nielsen). Selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” may not stop a channel provider from passing data to others through its own channels.
If you perform a device factory reset, you will remove this preference and will need to renew your selection.
Part V. Data Storage, Transfer and Security
Nessis uses industry-standard methods of securing its electronic databases of personal information. However, you should know that no company, including Nessis, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. To help protect yourself, please use a strong password, do not use the same passwords to access your allTrac accounts that you use with other accounts or services, and protect your user names and passwords to help prevent others from accessing your accounts and services.
Nessis is a global company with affiliates, varied business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders. Information collected by Nessis or on our behalf may be stored on your mobile Devices, on your mobile device if you use the allTrac Mobile App, or on our servers, and may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored and processed in, the Canada, US, EU member state countries, India, the Philippines and Costa Rica, and any other country where allTrac or its service providers maintain facilities or call centers, including jurisdictions that may not have data privacy laws that provide protections equivalent to those provided in your home country. However, we will protect all personal information we obtain in accordance with this Policy and take reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated lawfully.
Personal information we collect may be retained for as long as needed to fulfill legitimate business purposes, including the purposes outlined in the “Information Usage section above, or for a period of time specifically required or allowed by applicable regulations or laws.
Part VI. Modifications
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended version on the applicable Nessis Site or by providing such notice about or obtaining consent to changes as may be required by applicable law.
