rDrive Privacy Policy

In this rDrive Privacy Policy (“Policy”), Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. (“Pioneer,” “we”, “us”, or “our”), provide information about how we collect, use, process, and transfer personal data. We are part of a global organization sharing the data we manage across businesses (legal entities), business processes, and information systems around the world. Therefore, for this Policy, we use the term “personal data” broadly to cover the many privacy and data protection laws applicable to us; “personal data” means information related to an identified natural person, or that could reasonably be used (by itself or in combination with other data reasonably available) to identify a natural person. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymized data). Additionally, CalAmp Wireless Networks Corporation (“LoJack”) is the provider of the LoJack services that power the Services, defined below. As such, certain portions of this Policy such as Where We Store and Process Data, Disclosures of Personal Data, Your Choices, Retention, and Security describe actions by LoJack on Pioneer’s behalf.

Scope

This Policy applies to our websites, products, services, software, or applications (including rDrive- and certain Pioneer-branded products, services, software and applications) (“apps”) on which we post a direct link to this Policy or refer to within this Policy (collectively the “Services”). This Policy covers only data collected through the Services and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of other products and services that maintain their own, separate privacy policies. Occasionally, we may refer to this Policy in relation to surveys and special-purpose web pages; under such circumstances, this Policy applies as modified in the particular notice or consent request (e.g., with respect to types of data collected or purposes of collection).
