We have implemented appropriate organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Data within our organization, including security controls to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. While we take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Data from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorized access, modification and disclosure, you should be aware no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100% secure from intrusion or hacking, and there is therefore always some risk assumed by sharing Personal Data online. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify us in accordance with the “Questions, Concerns and Complaints” section below. It is your responsibility to safeguard any password and User ID you use to access the Site. You are solely responsible for any unauthorized use of the Site that is conducted via your password and User ID. We retain Personal Data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). When we have no legal basis or ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. 7. How Can I Access, Correct, Amend or Remove Information About Me? If you are in the Europe Economic Area (“EEA”) would like to access, correct, amend, remove or limit the use or disclosure of any Personal Data about you that has been collected and stored by Omnitracs, or have it transferred to another organization, please notify us at privacy@omnitracs.com so that we may consider and respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

International Transfer of Data We keep data in California, Nevada, and other locations across the United States of America, and Omnitracs also has servers, contractors, and employees around the world in various locations, including, without limitation, other parts of the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. This transfer of information therefore may be to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico, which could have different data protection laws than those of your country or the country in which you were located when you initially provided the information. However, where required, we put in place a solution to ensure that Personal Data transferred outside of the EEA is subject to adequate protection, namely the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided on request. 15. Questions, Concerns or Complaints Your privacy is important to us.

Omnitracs will take any privacy complaint seriously and any complaint will be assessed by an appropriate person with the aim of resolving any issue in a timely and efficient manner. We request that you cooperate with us during this process and provide us with any relevant information that we may need.
