Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy", "Policy") explains how FrontierNav ("FrontierNav", "we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, and shares information we receive from you through the use of our websites and apps (our "Services"). Our Services includes websites at frontiernav.net, and software provided under the FrontierNav brand.
Definitions
"Personal Information" is information that could be used to personally identify you such as your real name and email address.
"Third parties" are individuals, entities, websites, services, products, and applications that are not controlled, managed, or operated by FrontierNav.
Information We Receive From You
Account Information & Creation
When you create an account on our Services, you will need to provide Personal Information such as your email address. This is used to identify and access your account.
If you choose to use a third party sign-in provider, those third parties will on your behalf provide your email address along with additional information such as a profile name and photo which is used to populate your initial public profile.
Your Contributions
When you make a contribution to our Services you are creating a public record. This includes your profile, discussions, change requests, lists and notes.
Information We Receive Automatically
The device and software you use to access our Services may automatically send information such as the type of device you are using, the type and version of your software, your language preference and your IP address.
IP Addresses
When you use our Services, we automatically receive the IP address you are using to access the Internet. Your IP address can be used to infer your service providers and geographical location.
Information We Collect
We may collect some types of information using common technologies such as scripts, web beacons, cookies, and local storage. This includes information about your use of our Services.
How We Use Information We Receive From You
We and our service providers use your information for legitimate purposes. This includes:
To help you share your knowledge with the world and add new features to our Services.
To arrange access to your account and provide you with related service.
To send administrative information to you, such as changes to our policies.
To provide to you custom content, notices and settings and to enhance your experience with our Services.
To use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you or to learn more about how our Services are used.
To fight spam, identity theft, malware and other kinds of abuse.
To optimize our Services.
To test features to see what works, understand how users interact with the our Services, track and study use of various features, and analyze trends.
When May We Share Your Information?
To Protect You, Ourselves & Others
We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order.
We, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described below, need to use and share your Personal Information if it is reasonably believed to be necessary to enforce or investigate potential violations of our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or any of our Services policies. We may also need to access and share Personal Information to investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions.
We may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns.
If Our Services Are Transferred
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by law and/or contract.
In the event that ownership of all or substantially all of our Services changes, or we go through a reorganization (such as a merger, consolidation, or acquisition), consistent with our legitimate interest, we will continue to keep your Personal Information confidential, except as provided in this Policy, and provide notice to you via our Services before any Personal Information is transferred.
To Our Service Providers
We use third-party service providers to help run or improve our Services for you and other users. We give access to your Personal Information to these providers as needed to perform their services for us or to use their tools and services. Some of these service providers will have their own policies which are provided by them when they are accessed.
Because You Made It Public
Any information you post publicly on our Services is just that – public. For example, if you put your mailing address on your profile, that is public, and not specifically protected by this Policy. Please think carefully about your desired level of privacy before you disclose Personal Information on your profile or elsewhere.
Unless this Policy says otherwise, you should assume that information that you contribute to our Services, including Personal Information, is publicly visible and can be found by search engines. Like most things on the Internet, anything you share may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people. Please do not contribute any information that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your real name or location in your contributions.
With Your Permission
We may share your Personal Information for a particular purpose, if you agree.
How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
We strive to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use a variety of physical and technical measures, policies, and procedures (such as access control procedures, network firewalls, and physical security) designed to protect our systems and your Personal Information. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as completely secure data transmission or storage, so we cannot guarantee that our security will not be breached (by technical measures or through violation of our policies and procedures).
How Long Do We Keep Your Data?
Once we receive Personal Information from you, we keep it for the shortest possible time that is consistent with the maintenance, understanding, and improvement of our Services, and our obligations under applicable law. In most instances, Personal Information is deleted, aggregated or de-identified after 90 days. Non-Personal Information may be retained indefinitely as appropriate.
Your rights
If you would like to request to access, update or restrict/object to the processing of Personal Information, or receive a copy of your Personal Information for purposes of transmitting it to another organization, you may contact us. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
Please note also that you may be able to exercise some of these rights without our intervention. For example, if you are signed-in, you can access and update some of your information from your account settings page and choose some of the information that we collect.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Because things naturally change over time and we want to ensure our Privacy Policy accurately reflects our practices and the law, it may be necessary to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We reserve the right to do so.
We ask that you please review the most up-to-date version of our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our Services after any effective date of a subsequent version of this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy on your part.
