We may collect Personal Information about you from various sources described below. “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Information, as well as the consequences of failing to do so.

Analytics. We may use and/or provide your information to third parties that help us better understand how you and other Customers use our Services. For example, we may use a third-party service called Google Analytics and permit Google to use technologies such as web beacons and cookies to collect certain information that helps us understand usage of our Services. We may permit Google and other third party analytics providers to combine information collected through our Services with information collected from third party services, and those analytics providers may use this information to help us better understand users of our Services, and those analytics providers may also use this information to help their other customers better understand their users. These analytics permit the re-identification of data by third parties. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Third Party Web Beacons and Third Party Buttons. We may also implement third-party content or advertising on the Services that may use clear gifs or other forms of web beacons, which allow the third-party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser in connection with your viewing of the third party content on the Services. Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may allow third parties to collect information about you through such third parties’ browser cookies, even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties and is subject to that third party’s own data collection, use, and disclosure policies.

Our Customers. When we provide Services to our customers, we may collect certain information about their end-users from our customers’ services, applications, or other offerings. We generally process this information on behalf of our customers to provide the Services to them, but in some cases we may use that information for other purposes as described below and in accordance with applicable law.

The types of information we may collect in this context varies based on the particular Services utilized by our customers and may include:

  • information that allows us to identify the particular customer service, application, or offering used by you through a single device or combination of devices such as using a computer, tablet and smart phone in proximity. You may always change the settings of your device not to share such data. Please refer to your specific hardware’s “preferences” or “settings” or similar section to restrict sharing of data.
  • information about your hardware device as well as the configuration of the device such as the manufacturer, model number, the operating system, carrier, the IP address, battery level, wifi connection status information, network status, language, locale, time zone, unique identifiers associated with the device such as the identifier for advertisers, identifier for vendors, unique device identifier, the Android Advertiser ID, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), and MAC address.
  • information about the location of your device over time, such as the device’s latitude and longitude, as well as information regarding your location over time within a building or structure. Location information may be tracked across different devices that you have linked, meaning that if you consent to the collection of location information on one device, we may collect location information across all of your devices linked to the device in which you gave consent or across multiple devices in proximity to each other in which you gave consent on each device.
  • the content and other materials displayed to you through the Services and other information about your interactions with our customers’ services, applications, or other offerings, including the features used over time;
  • information about when and for how long you use a service, application or other offering connected with our Services;we and other third parties, including our business partners, may track your activity across different devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, and other connected devices that are linked or in which consent has been given on each device); when multiple devices are used in proximity (e.g. you are logged in to an iPhone®, iPad® and Mac laptop in proximity to each other and they are all linked via your Apple® ID), then our system may see them as a “single” device and behavior pattern, and process data accordingly.
  • other information that a you may submit in connection with your use of a customer’s service, application, or other offering including Personal Information and demographic information such as a your name, gender, age, address, city, state, zip code, and phone number.

Other Third Parties. We may obtain Personal Information about you from other third parties and sources other than the Services, such as our partners, advertisers, and Integrated Services. For example, we may receive information collected from wireless access points, including Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, which we may use in connection with providing our Services. We may combine or associate this information with Personal Information that we collect through the Services in accordance with this Policy.

2. How we use the information we collect

We use information we collect in a variety of ways in providing the Services and operating our business, including the following:

Additionally, we may use this information in a manner that would re-identify you personally.We may combine and use the information collected across non-affiliated Customer services, applications, and other offerings, as well as information about end-users collected across different devices and from third parties, in order to enable advertisers to purchase and target ads to Users based on certain criteria or end-user interests. These targeted ads may be displayed within our customers’ services, applications, or other offerings integrated with our Services, or may be displayed on third-party services, applications, websites, or other offerings. For example, we could help advertisers to make advertisements available to end-users that fit into certain categories, such as end-users that access particular types of content, whose devices visit particular locations, or who fall within certain demographic categories. Users may choose to opt out from this ad targeting through the process described in our opt out page https://www.phunware.com/privacy/optout. If an end-user opts out from receiving interest-based ads, we or other advertisers may continue to present that end-user with advertisements but those advertisements may be less relevant or useful to that end-user. Please note that this opt out does not apply to cross-device tracking or other forms of tracking.
