During this process, we collect information such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number or other details to help you with your experience so we can better assist you with identifying which of our Services best fit your needs. When you email or contact us by phone to inquire about our Services, we may, in turn, collect the same information.

While, at some times, you may be providing this information or otherwise engaging with us as an employee of another company or organization, the information you provide and that we may collect, may identify you as a natural person.

We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

UK/EU/EEA DATA SUBJECT DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS UNDER GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, European Union, or European Economic Area (EEA), you may have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your personally identifying information, though understanding that some of these rights to not extend to business to business, also known as B2B data, which is the bulk of the type of information we collect.

If you wish to be informed about what personally identifying information we hold about you, have a copy of it, correct or otherwise rectify it, and/or if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us using the contact information set out below.

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

  • Request access to your personally identifying information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personally identifying information we hold about you where we are the data controller and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personally identifying 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.
  • Request erasure of your personally identifying information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personally identifying information where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personally identifying 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 personally identifying information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be explained to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personally identifying 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 personally identifying information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information, which overrides your rights and freedoms.
  • Request that we restrict the processing of your personally identifying information. This enables you to ask us to temporarily stop  the processing of your personally identifying information in the following scenarios: (a) if you have concerns about the accuracy of your information and want to have it rectified; (b) where you believe our use of your information may be  unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the information for the purposes of defending or exercising your rights with respect to a legal claim even though we may no longer need it; or (d) you have objected to our use of your information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to keep it.
  • Request the transfer of your personally identifying information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personally identifying 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.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personally identifying 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 services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights or raise a complaint on how we have handled your personal information, please contact us at the details below.

If you are not satisfied with our response, or believe we are processing your personal information in violation of the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority (also known as Data Protection Authority) in your EEA country.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personally identifying information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in such circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personally identifying information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure designed to ensure that personally identifying information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

For users in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, any changes or modifications will be effective upon your express consent as you will be notified of any changes by virtue of a pop-up, banner, or other notification mechanism when you seek to access the Site or Services after we issue a change or modification.

CALIFORNIA DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Shine the Light Law

Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of personally identifying information that we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes and providing contact information for such affiliates and/or third parties. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to the following address: 3341 Parkways Blvd. Auburn Hills, MI 48326 or via this link. We will respond to one request per California customer each year, and we do not respond to requests made by means other than as set forth above.

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) “Notice”

If you are a California resident, or were within the last year or at any point since January 1, 2022, you have the following rights under applicable California law in relation to your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions: 

  • Right to Know. You have the right to, up to twice in a 12-month period, request what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and/or sell, as applicable.
  • Right to Delete. You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information that is collected by us.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale. You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information by a business. However, as noted above, we do not currently sell any Personal Information.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights described above. 
  • Right to Data Portability. You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information we have collected and maintained about you in the past 12 months or at any time since January 1, 2022.

Understand, however, that based on the information we gather, and the fact that we do not “sell” personal information as that term is defined in the CCPA, your rights are somewhat limited as these rights are not absolute and are subject to certain exceptions. For instance, we are not required to respond to requests concerning employment/application data, B2B data, and cannot disclose or permit access to specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure or access would present a certain level of risk to the security of the personal information, or the security of the business’s systems of networks.          

B2B data is not subject to this Privacy Policy if the data reflects a written or verbal communication or transactions between you and us if you are acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit, or government agency and whose communications or transaction with us occurs solely in the context of us conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from such company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit or government agency. If you are a California consumer, we will process your request to exercise your rights in accordance with California Laws.

Please note that if you request deletion of your personally identifying information, we may deny your request or may retain certain elements of your personally identifying information if it is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  • Complete the transaction for which the personally identifying information was collected, provide goods or services requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between our business and you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
  • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of   free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such   research, if you have provided informed consent.
  • To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Otherwise use the personally identifying information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

To make a request, you may contact us at 3341 Parkways Blvd. Auburn Hills, MI 48326 c/o Privacy Officer or via telephone at 1-877-801-FUUZ (3889). Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process (“Verifiable Consumer Request”) as permitted by the CCPA. To submit a request, please click this link, or have your designated representative click this link or email us. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information that enables us to reasonably verify that you are the consumer about whom we collected the personally identifying information on. These rights are also subject to various exclusions and exceptions under applicable laws. 

We currently do not collect household data. If we receive a Right to Know or Right to Delete request submitted by all members of a household, we will individually respond to each request. We will not be able to comply with any request by a member of a household under the age of 13 as we do not collect personally identifying information from any person under the age of 13.

We will respond to your request within 45 days after receipt of a Verifiable Consumer Request for a period covering 12 months and for no more than twice in a twelve-month period.  We reserve the right to extend the response time by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and provided consumer notification of the extension is made within the first 45 days.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Requests to Opt-In for Minors

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information at any time. We do not and will not sell personally identifying information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age unless we received affirmative authorization from the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age, to opt-in to the sale of their personally identifying information. Upon the receipt of this request to opt-in, we will inform the minor of the right to opt-out later and of the process for doing so.

Sale and Disclosure of Personal Information

Under the CCPA, a “sale” means providing to a third party personally identifying information for valuable consideration. It does not necessarily mean money was exchanged for the transfer of personal information. Due to the complexities and ambiguities in the CCPA, we will continue to evaluate some of our third-party relationships as we wait for final implementing regulations and guidance. For example, it is currently unclear whether the use of certain types of advertising partners would be considered a sale under CCPA. Based on our understanding of the CCPA at this time, in the preceding 12 months or at any point from January 1, 2022 through to the present, we have not sold any personally identifying information to any third parties. In the preceding 12 months or at any point from January 1, 2022 through to the present we have not disclosed personally identifying information to third parties for business purposes. We will continue to update our business practices as regulatory guidance becomes available and provides clarity on what constitutes a sale transaction, particularly in the advertising ecosystem.

NEVADA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Nevada law permits our Users who are Nevada consumers to request that their personally identifying information not be sold (as defined under applicable Nevada law), even if their personally identifying information is not currently being sold. Requests may be sent to 3341 Parkways Blvd. Auburn Hills, MI 48326.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Neither our Site nor our Services are intended for children under 13 (16 in the UK/EU/EEA). No one under age 13 (16 in the EEA) may provide any information to or on the Online Services.

If you are parent or guardian and learn we have collected or received personally identifying information from a child under 13 (16 in the UK/EU/EEA) without verification of parental consent, please contact us and we will delete that information.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

We implement security measures designed to maintain the security of your personally identifying information. These security measures are implemented both during transmission of personally identifying information and once received. The security of your personally identifying information is important to us. However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure. While we use measures designed to protect personally identifying information, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. In addition, you should be aware that Internet data transmission is not always secure, and we cannot warrant that information you transmit utilizing the Services is or will be secure.

THIRD PARTIES

In some instances, the Site and/or the Services might contain links to other third-party sites and services. When you access these other sites or services, you are leaving the Site, and we are not responsible or liable for the activities on, security or privacy practices of, or content on third party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements posted on each such third-party site or service.
