1. Contacts: you can invite others to join or monitor your vessel on the VC by providing us with their contact information, or by allowing us to access contacts from your mobile device or third party sites to select which individuals you want to invite. If you allow us to access your contacts, we may use this information to enhance your experience in various ways. In addition, other users who have your contact information and have chosen to upload, sync, or import it from their device may be notified of when you join our Service; they may be able to know the number of people on the Service who have your number in their uploaded contacts.

3. Activity: We store information about your use of the Service, such as your clicks, logging activity, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visits. 
4. Legal basis for processing (EEA and Switzerland only): For European residents, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above will depend on the specific information concerned and the context in which we collect it. We, however, will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for instance, to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service or to comply with legal obligations). If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will typically be to operate our services, communicate with you in relation to our Services, or for our other legitimate commercial interests, for instance, when responding to your queries, to analyze and improve our platform, engage in marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing fraud. If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us at the address listed below in the “Contact” section.

 

1. Third parties
    
    Third parties may receive information about you as follows:
   1. Advertisers: we may allow third parties to use cookies through the service to collect the same type of information for the same purposes as we do. In doing so, we adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory principles for online behavioral advertising. Third parties may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources. We do not necessarily have access to or control over the cookies they use, but you may be able to opt out of some of their practices by visiting the following links: Network Advertising Initiative, Omniture and Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that opting out does not prevent the display of all advertisements to you. We may also share some non-identifiable, de-identified or aggregated information from or about you, such as location information, with third parties in connection with advertising programs and data analytics. You may be able to limit our sharing of some of this information through your mobile device settings, as described in section 2 above, or through the service’s settings.
   2. Service providers: we may rely on third party service providers to support or provide services for us in connection with your use of the Service, such as communications and hosting, security and fraud prevention, technical and customer support, tracking and reporting usage of the Service, quality assurance testing, payment processing, marketing, and other functions. We may share information from or about you with these third party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests. For example, we may share your advertising identifiers (e.g., your IDFA, GAID, or a cryptographic hash of your email address) with third party service providers that help us facilitate Canyon Runner’s advertising programs and measure and report their effectiveness, including with third parties that help determine the efficacy of Canyon Runner’s advertising programs by combining information they receive about you from other sources than the Service. You may be able to limit our access to some of this information through your mobile device settings, as described in section 2 above, or through the Service’s settings. Canyon Runner’s third party service providers may likewise share information with us that they obtain from or about you in connection with providing their services or completing your requests. 
   3. Aggregate or anonymous information: we may share user information in the aggregate with third parties, such as vessel manufacturers and servicers, engine manufactuers and servicers, insurance companies, financial institutions, among others. For example, we may disclose the total number of vessels located or active within a particular area. 
   4. Investigations and legal disclosures: we may investigate and disclose information from or about you if we have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure: (a) is reasonably necessary to comply with legal or law enforcement processes, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or other legal process or law enforcement request; (b) is helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; or (c) protects our rights, reputation, property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public, such as disclosures in connection with Canyon Runner’s consumer alerts processes.
   5. Links: the Service may link to third party-controlled websites, like a partnering service provider’s URL. Except as set forth herein, we do not share your personal information with them, and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
   6. Third party integrations: If you sign up for, or log into, Canyon Runner’s website, mobile application, or other aspect of the Service using a third party service like Facebook or Google, or link your Canyon Runner account to your account with a third party service like Facebook or Instagram, we may receive information about you from such third party service. Some of our web pages utilize framing techniques to serve content to you from our third party partners, while preserving the look and feel of the Service. In such cases, please note that the information you provide may be transmitted directly to the identified third party partner.

 

 

 

 

 

 Separate from the CCPA, California’s Shine The Light law gives California residents the right to ask companies what personal information they share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you request such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this policy, or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us at the address listed above in section 5.

 

 

 For European residents, please note that the personal information we obtain from or about you may be transferred, processed, and stored outside of the EEA or Switzerland for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including in the United States of America. We take the privacy of our users seriously and therefore take steps to safeguard your information, including ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with E.U. standards in effect as of the date of this Privacy Policy. These steps include use of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal information they process from the EEA in accordance with European union data protection laws. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.
