Last Updated: November 19, 2021

Miovision Technologies Incorporated (“Miovision”, “we”, “our” or “us”) respects every individual’s privacy and will only collect, use, retain or disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We recognize every individual’s right to privacy and acknowledge our obligation to preserve the confidentiality of Personal Information (as defined below). This Privacy Policy applies to Miovision and its collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information in our business operations and/or through the website and web applications located at www.miovision.com (collectively, the “Website”). Miovision is responsible for how we collect, handle and use this information.

1 How “Personal Information” is Defined in our Privacy Policy

“Personal Information” means any information that could reasonably be used to identify, locate or contact you and which is submitted to and/or collected by Miovision and maintained by Miovision in an accessible form, in the course of our activities.

2 What Personal Information do we Collect?

We only collect the Personal Information necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. We will keep all information as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as reasonably possible. The information we collect falls into the following three categories:

  • Account and profile information: You may provide us with profile information such as your e-mail address, username, and password when you create an account, or when you edit your account information. You may also provide us with payment information when you sign-up for a paid service.

  • Content you provide through our products and services: Some of our products enable recording and/or uploading of video. When you choose to record or upload video it is stored in Miovision systems. Other data, for example traffic control information or anonymized device data, may be stored in our systems based on request(s) from municipal governments.

  • Content you provide through our Website: You may provide us with your contact and other information to be used, as an example, for marketing purposes. We also retain usage data to understand how our customers use our products and websites.

If Miovision seeks to use Personal Information that has been collected for a purpose not previously identified, we will seek your consent prior to use, unless it is otherwise required by law.

If you wish to withdraw (revoke) your consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information at any time, please contact us at privacy@miovision.com. Your withdrawal of consent is not retroactive given that Miovision may already have used your information for the purposes described here; it will be applied on a go-forward basis.

We may share Personal Information with third-party apps that have access to our Website, with our service providers and distributors, and if we owe a legal duty to disclose in order to comply with legal obligations.

Accessing the Miovision Website or any Miovision applications may give third-party apps access to information about you like your name and email address. Third-party app policies and procedures are not controlled by us, and this Privacy Policy does not cover how third-party apps use your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of such third parties to learn more about their privacy and information handling practices.

We share Personal Information with service providers that perform functions on our behalf.

We also share Personal Information if we are under a duty to disclose in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Miovision, our customers, or others.

Miovision’s policy is to keep your Personal Information for as long as your account is active and for as long as there is a business purpose (e.g., to provide you with our products and services).

7 How we Protect Personal Information

Miovision is committed to ensuring the security of your Personal Information and has put in place reasonable physical, organizational, and technological security measures to ensure the safety of your Personal Information and protect it from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, collection, use, alteration or disclosure.

For example, we use SSL encryption, firewalls, anti-virus and system security monitoring. We also limit access to your personal information to those employees, contractors and agents who have a business need to know.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, Miovision cannot warrant the security of any Personal Information you transmit to us over our Website, and you do so at your own risk.

9 How we Transfer your Personal Information

Miovision processes and stores your Personal Information in Canada and the United States. To facilitate our global operations, we may transfer Personal Information to Miovision affiliates and subcontractors located outside of the United States and Canada, and allow access to that Personal Information from countries in which the Miovision affiliates and subcontractors have operations for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When we transfer Personal Information, we do so in compliance with applicable laws.

Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you may have rights under the data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information, including the right to:

  • Right to request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

  • Right to request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.

  • Right to request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Right to object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.

  • Right to request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your Personal Information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

  • Right to request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

  • Right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
