Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

Proteus Motion (“Proteus,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) knows that our users care about how their Personal Data is used, collected and shared.  “Personal Data” means any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual and also includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules, or regulations.  We take our users’ privacy seriously and are committed to protecting Personal Data. Proteus operates the Proteus website, located at www.proteusmotion.com,  associated subdomains (the “Website”), the Proteus by Proteus Motion, a proprietary hardware and software platform, and related technology system, platforms, and devices made available by Proteus (the “Device”), as well as any features, content, websites (or other linked pages) or applications offered, from time to time, by Proteus in connection therewith (collectively with the Website and the Device, the “Services”). 

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of the Personal Data that we collect when you access or use the Services.  It does not cover the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or people that we do not manage. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of any third parties, and we do not control, operate, or endorse any information, products, or services that may be offered by third parties or accessible on or through the Services. By using or accessing the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in the following ways.

Your use of Proteus’s Services is at all times subject to the separate Terms of Use at available at [insert webpage] or such other customer or user agreement between Proteus and the entity through which you access and use the Services, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the Proteus website or, if a material change, by sending you an email. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

We also use the Personal Data we collect to operate, improve, understand, and personalize our Services.  We use Personal Data for the following purposes:

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA 

We may share your Personal Data as follows: 

OTHER SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may also share your Personal Data as described in this section: 

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES

Our Website may contain links to other websites, including those of third parties or business partners. While we seek to link only to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices other websites use. By accessing other third-party websites or applications through our Services, you are consenting to the terms and privacy policies of those websites. It is possible that other parties may collect Personal Data about your online activities over time and across different websites.

Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “like” button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the entity providing them.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISEMENTS

We may serve advertisements, and also allow third-party ad networks, including third-party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms, to serve advertisements through the Services. These advertisements may be targeted to users who fit certain general profile categories or display certain preferences or behaviors (“Interest-Based Ads”). Information for Internet-Based Ads (including Personal Data) may be provided to us by you, or derived from the usage patterns of particular users on the Services and/or services of third parties. Such information may be gathered through tracking users’ activities across time and unaffiliated properties, including when you leave the Services. To accomplish this, we or our service providers may deliver Cookies, including a file (known as a “Web Beacon”) from an ad network to you through the Services. Web Beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web Beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Web Beacons allow ad networks to view, edit or set their own Cookies on your browser, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.

We comply with the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. Through the DAA and Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), several media and marketing associations have developed an industry self-regulatory program to give consumers a better understanding of, and greater control over, ads that are customized based a consumer’s online behavior across different websites and properties. You have the option to opt-out of Internet-Based Advertising.  For more information, consult [EMAIL]. 

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [EMAIL] or write us at: [ADDRESS].

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

The Services are hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through Proteus and its service providers, and if you do not reside in the U.S., laws in the U.S. may differ from the laws where you are located. By using the Services, you acknowledge that Personal Data about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third party, is being provided to Proteus in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and you authorize Proteus to transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries. You hereby consent to the transfer of your data to the U.S. as set forth herein.

EU RESIDENTS

If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you may have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as further described in the “Privacy Notice for EU Residents” section below.

PERSONAL DATA OF CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13.  If you are under 13, please do not attempt or register for the Services or send any Personal Data about yourself to us.  If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.  If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us at [EMAIL]. 

DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data.  For example, the Services use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of Personal Data you provide to us. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other Personal Data we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you with our Services. In some cases, we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.

ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

When you log into your account, you may access, and in some cases, edit or delete the following information you’ve provided to us;

CHOICES YOU HAVE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You can always opt not to disclose Personal Data to us, but keep in mind some Personal Data may be needed to register with us or take advantage of some of our features.  You may be able to add, update, or delete information as explained above.  When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.  You may request deletion of your account by emailing [EMAIL].  We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Data after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you, and we may also retain and continue to your non-personally identifiable information.
