Dash Policies

Privacy Policy

Preamble
Dash Navigation, Inc. ("Dash") is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy details certain policies implemented throughout our company governing Dash's use of personally identifiable information about users of our Internet websites located at dash.net and my.dash.net (the "MyDash Site") (collectively, the "Site(s)"), Dash services and/or Dash products (collectively, services and products are: "Product" or "Products"). Where the Privacy Policy differs depending on whether you are using the Site(s) or the Products, that difference will be noted in this Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy Updates
Due to the Internet's rapidly evolving nature, Dash may need to update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If so, Dash will post a notice of the change and the updated Privacy Policy on the Sites, including at www.dash.net/policy/privacy. We may also send registered users of the Site(s) email notifications notifying such users of any changes to the Privacy Policy. If any change is unacceptable to you, you shall cease using this Site(s) and the Products. If you do not cease using this Site(s) and the Products, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.

Information Collection

Through the Site(s):

You can generally visit the Site(s) without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. However, in certain sections of the Sites, in order to register or purchase your Products, we require you to complete forms during which process we will collect personally identifiable information such as your Dash Device Number (DDN), email address, username, password, and if you choose, your mobile phone number, your credit card number and your billing address as well as any other information that you voluntarily transmit with your communication to us. From certain sections of the Site(s), you will be able to send addresses, and other Internet searches to your Products. Contact and payment information that is necessary to administer your account will be stored on Dash servers and linked to personally identifiable information. We may track the total number of visitors to our Site(s), the number of visitors to each page of our Site(s), and the number of External Web Site (defined below) pages you have visited ("Aggregate Data").

Through the Products:

When you use our Product, the Product communicates to Dash the location (latitude and longitude) of the Product that you are using but all of such information will only be collected and used in an aggregated form and will not be correlated to your DDN, registration information or otherwise used in a manner that personally identifies you. When you use the "report a problem" feature on your Product, the Product will send Dash the log files on your Product regarding the searches you have made, any buttons that you push on your Product, and your DDN and location of the Product.

Use of Information
Dash uses the location information we collect through your use of the Products to track traffic conditions and provide data on traffic conditions to users of the Products and on the MyDash Site. Again, this information is provided in the form of general data about traffic and route conditions and not in a way that provides any information about individual users.

When you use the "report a problem" feature on your Product, Dash will use the information that it receives from your Product (i.e. log files on your Product regarding the searches you have made, any buttons that you push on your Product, and your DDN and location of the Product) to contact you and to work to resolve the problem experienced.

We may also use your personally identifiable information you submit to the Site(s) to contact you to deliver certain services or information you have requested, verify your authority to enter our Site(s), improve the content and general administration of the Site(s), services and Products, provide you with notices regarding goods, services and/or Products that you have purchased or may wish to purchase in the future and for targeted advertising.

The aggregate information extracted from the Aggregate Data will be maintained, used and disclosed in aggregate form only and will not contain personally identifiable information. We may use such aggregate information extracted from the Aggregate Data to analyze trends, improve the services and Products we provide to our users, administer the Site(s) and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Dash Developers are restricted from using any personally identifiable information that they collect in accordance with this privacy policy and are also required to disclose in the Dash Developer’s own privacy policy any additional uses or disclosures not covered by this Privacy Policy.  Dash Developers are required, however, to only use geospatial positioning information that is reported by your Dash device through the use of a DashApp (“Positioning Data”) to provide proximity alerts on topics reasonable related to the stated functionality of the Dash App (for example, the location of the nearest gas station).  Dash Developers may not otherwise use and may not disclose Positioning Data.  We must remind you, however, that Dash does not control and is not responsible for the actions of Dash Developers, so you should choose carefully which DashApps you download and install.

Disclosure of Information
If you have added a search button to your Products on the MyDash Site, you will have the option to mark such search button on the MyDash Site as public and other Site users will be able to view and use your search button on their Products. We may provide your personally identifiable information and/or the aggregate information to vendors and service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing our Products and services to you. For example, we may provide your personally identifiable information to a credit card processing company to process your payment. If you chose to enter your mobile telephone number on the MyDash Site we may provide that number to one or more third party service providers so that you have the option of performing and sending search results to your Product by calling a service number operated by one of our third party service providers from your mobile phone.  Such third party service providers will be required to only use your personally identifiable information (including your mobile phone number) in compliance with this privacy policy and solely for the purpose of providing the requested service to you.  We will also disclose your personally identifiable information (a) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority or otherwise in cooperation with an investigation of a governmental authority, (b) to enforce the Dash Terms of Use agreement or to protect our rights or (c) to protect the safety of users of our Site(s), services and our Products. We will not sell your personally identifiable information to any company or organization except we may transfer your personally identifiable information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which Dash participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Dash's assets to which the Site(s) relate.

As described, above, when you voluntarily sign up or otherwise configure your Product to run a DashApp, certain personally identifiable information (such as your Product location) used to deliver the functionality of the DashApp will be collected from your Product to be transmitted to the applicable Dash Developer.  While Dash will obligate each Developer under the Terms of Use to comply with this Privacy Policy, however, you acknowledge and agree that (i) the functionality of a DashApp may result in the disclosure of certain personally identifiable information about you to others so it is your responsibility to understand the privacy and information sharing polices of each Dash Developer and (ii) Dash cannot control and is not responsible for the actions of Dash Developers..

Comment Regarding Children's Privacy
Dash recognizes the privacy interests of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. The Site(s) are not intended for children under the age of 13. Dash does not target its services or the Site(s) to children under 13. Dash does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

Cookies
We may use small text files called cookies to improve overall Product and Site(s) experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies generally do not permit us to personally identify you.

Links to Third Party Sites
The Site(s) may provide links to other Web sites or resources over which Dash does not have control ("External Web Sites"). Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Dash of those External Web Sites. You acknowledge that Dash is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and further agree that Dash is not responsible for the content of such External Web Sites. Your use of External Web Sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies located on the linked to External Web Sites.

Security
We may employ procedural and technological measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Dash may use password protection and take other physical security measures and place internal restrictions on who within Dash may access your data to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information.

Correction and Updating Personally Identifiable Information Collected Through the Site(s)
Dash provides you with the ability to review and correct your registration information that you have provided to us through the Site(s); provided, however, that Dash will retain a copy in its files of all personally identifiable information, even if corrected, in order to resolve disputes or enforce its terms of use. If you wish to review or correct the foregoing information, you may access your account and review or correct your personally identifiable information or contact us.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy please contact us via email at: privacy@dash.net.

This document and the terms of any applicable written Dash Service commitment offer from Dash accepted by you represent the entire agreement governing your use of and subscription to the Dash Service and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous written or oral statements by Dash or its representatives or resellers. Dash's failure to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of Dash's right to do so at any time.
