Trimble’s Commitment to Online Privacy

[Last Updated: October 10, 2016]

Your right to privacy is important. At Trimble we believe that personal information you choose to furnish online should only be used to help us provide you with the highest quality of products, services and support. We display this Privacy Statement to make you aware of the information practices for the Terrain Navigator websites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to stay current with changes in our business and/or to better serve you. We encourage you to visit this page frequently to inform yourself of any changes.

This Privacy Statement covers Trimble Outdoors’ family of corporate websites, which include:

http://www.mytopo.com
http://www.terrainnavigator.com

These websites are operated by Trimble Inc. from its facilities in the United States. Some of our subsidiaries or programs have their own, possibly different, policies. We encourage you to read this privacy policy and those of all websites you visit.

Consent to Use and Transfer Personal Data

Please note that if you submit personal data through this Trimble website, you will send it to us (Trimble Inc.) in the United States. We will collect, process and transfer your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Statement but possibly not in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside. By submitting your personal data through a Trimble website you consent to Trimble's collection, use, storage and transfer of your personal data to our company databases and other repositories, wherever located, for the purposes for which it is submitted and in accordance with the policies set forth in this Privacy Statement.

Types of Data Collected Online

You can browse the website without entering any personal information. Only general, non-personally identifiable information that Trimble logs from all website visits, such as Internet service provider, operating system/browser type, and pages accessed, will be collected in those instances. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user will not be individually identified.

There are times, however, when we or our business partners (such as our external service provider(s) identified below) may need information from you.

For example, you may choose to give us personal information when you:

  • Register and subscribe to the services provided through our websites;
  • Create and share trip information as a subscriber;
  • Purchase products or services;
  • Register as a user of Trimble products;
  • Make requests for information, materials, customer and other services, and for product support, repairs and upgrades;
  • Subscribe to newsletters and online services;
  • Enter contests, sweepstakes and other promotions featured through this website;
  • Create a user profile to receive future information, special offers and communications.

At such times you may be asked to provide contact and billing information (e.g., your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number and expiration date), as well as information about the product or service purchased (e.g., product I.D., serial number, customer number, product version). Demographic or other personal information may also be requested, however, volunteering such information is optional. By providing the information to Trimble you consent to our transfer of this information to our company databases and other repositories, wherever located.

Notice Regarding the Potential Additional Collection of User Data. Data that is stored on your mobile phone or other wireless device will upload from your phone or device and be transmitted to our servers when such upload and transfer is initiated by you or if you have otherwise consented to it, such as when you voluntarily upload and share Trip information as described below. The gathered data may include but is not limited to, track logs (a track log consists of a list of spatial points and the times your Trimble software application was at given spatial points), diagnostics, and information related to advertisements that were viewed on your mobile phone or device, how often they were clicked and how often certain actions such as saving a coupon were performed.

Use of Data

Trimble uses personal information collected on its websites for the purpose for which it is requested or as necessary or permissible under applicable law (e.g., in some jurisdictions we may have to keep invoices under tax laws). We also may use the information you provide to notify you later about new developments with respect to the products and services you have purchased or to inform you about new products, special offers and services offered by Trimble, its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Trimble Companies") or its business partners. It is important to note that you may opt out of receiving further information from Trimble, as discussed in detail below. We use non-personal information to analyze sales trend data as it relates to geography, time and demographics.

Specific uses of personal information that vary from this Privacy Policy (if any) may be found in the Terms of Use or Terms of Service or privacy policies applicable to a particular service, contest or promotion. To the extent that you are notified of potential uses of your personal information that are different from those described in this Privacy Policy during your service agreement with us or enrollment in a particular contest or promotion, the uses of information set forth in that agreement, contest or promotion will supersede this Privacy Policy. Please review carefully the Terms of Use, Terms of Service, End User License Agreements, and privacy policies applicable to the service(s) that you have purchased or the contests or promotions for which you sign-up or in which you participate.

With Whom We Share Information

In the ordinary course of business Trimble will not sell, trade or rent your individual identifying information to others absent your consent to do so. Trimble may share the personal data you provide online with Trimble Companies and other business partners as described below:

Or Trimble may forward such contact information to enable a Trimble-authorized dealer to furnish customers with product updates. Trimble requires that its dealers and distributors keep confidential any personal data of customers or potential customers disclosed to them.

When you use this software to voluntarily upload and share Trips through the Services, information regarding your geographic location(s) may be accessed and disclosed through the software used with those Services.
