MOTOsafety by Linxup's Privacy Policy
Linxup and its brand MOTOsafety understands and respects your concerns about the use of your Personal Information. We believe that you should know what information about you we collect, as well as how that information is used, maintained, and, in some cases, shared. The following sets forth our privacy practices and policies.
Throughout this Policy, we refer to the term "Personal Information." "Personal Information" is data which identifies, describes, is associated with, or could be linked to an individual, such as a name, email address, birthdate, postal address, telephone number, driver's license, SSN or government-issued identification number, credit card number, or the like.
Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregated data that can no longer be used to identify a specific person, even if combined with other data. Also, some of our customers are businesses, companies, institutions, or other entities rather than individuals. We do not consider Business Information, such as title, employer's name, work email, work phone number, work address, and other similar business information, to be Personal Information.
Linxup will collect Personal Information about you when you do any of the following: (i) register to become a customer; (ii) use any of our services, including when you use a mobile device equipped with one of our services; (iii) use this website; (iv) participate in one of our promotions, such as a sweepstakes; or (v) request information about our services from us or from another company through which our services are offered (such as a mobile telecommunications provider).

In some cases, the usernames and / or passwords are generated for you automatically on your wireless device, and cannot be altered.
As a customer of Linxup, you also have the option of providing us with your home and work addresses (to the extent they differ from your billing address), which we store in our database, to enable you to access other features on the Linxup service.
On some versions of the Linxup service, you can also create a list of addresses that you may edit on our website, or on your mobile device. We store these addresses in our database so that you can access them from your mobile device, and so that should you change devices, this collection of addresses will still be available to you.
Information Related to Your Location and Route
Each time you access the Linxup service, we periodically receive and record your current location from the GPS hardware associated with your vehicle. All location data submitted to Linxup will remain the sole property of you to the full extent provided by law.

California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information including the following rights:
- the right to know, by way of our Privacy Policy and any specific inquiries you direct to us, where personal information we have about you comes from, what we use that information for, whether it is being disclosed or sold, and to whom it is being disclosed or sold over the past 12 months;
- the right to “opt-out” of MOTOsafety’s sale of your personal information to any third parties. (For our purposes, the word “sale” means any “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic means, a consumer's personal information by the business to another business or a third party, for monetary or other valuable consideration”. This means that, for example, a sale can happen whenever an application runs ads, or makes statistical analyses on the traffic or views, or simply because it uses tools such as social network plugins and the like.);
- the right, with some exceptions, to have your personal information deleted from MOTOsafety’s possession or control; and
- the right to receive equal service and pricing from MOTOsafety even if you exercise any of your privacy rights.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of the Site who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
To exercise the rights described above, you need to submit your verifiable request to us. For us to respond to your request, it’s necessary that we know who you are. Therefore, you can only exercise the above rights by making a verifiable request which must:
- provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative;
- describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We will not respond to any request if we are unable to verify your identity and therefore confirm the personal information in our possession actually relates to you.
If you cannot personally submit a verifiable request, you can authorize a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf.
You can submit a maximum number of 2 requests over a period of 12 months.
To make such a request, or if you have any questions or concerns about your California privacy rights, our Privacy Policy or our use of your personal information, please send an e‐mail to privacy-request@motosafety.com, or write us at:

To make such a request, please send an email with a detailed description of the specific content or information to privacy-request@motosafety.com. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.
When Your Information Will Be Shared Or Disclosed
We routinely provide your name, billing address, and credit card information, along with the amount to be charged, to to our partner, Chase, who will use that information to processes your credit card for billing purposes.
We will comply with any subpoenas, court orders or other legal processes for any of the information about you in our possession, and we may use such information to establish or exercise our legal rights, or to defend against legal claims.
Information about you in our possession may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, as well as in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which your personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the company. Linxup does not guarantee that any entity receiving such information in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all terms of this policy.
Information on Wireless Devices
The Linxup software (and any upgrades, modifications, or additions thereto) that is factory installed or downloaded to, and resides upon your wireless device retains your manually entered account number username and password, or reads it from the device. Having your carrier change the assigned phone number for your wireless device does not change the account number we maintain with regard to that device, which will result in your device not being able to access your Linxup account established using the new phone number. If this happens, please continue to use the original number.
Data Movement
We may maintain your Personal Information on computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.
We process data, including Personal Information, in the United States. We transfer your Personal Information to another organization or a country only with your consent or to perform a contract with you, and consistent with the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Security Measures
We maintain a variety of industry-standard security measures, including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. For instance, we use SSL encryption technology for all credit card numbers, passwords, and registration information you provide us. No system can be completely secure, so we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure.
Your Access and Consent to Use of your Personal Information
If you believe that the Personal Information that we have collected about you is incomplete, inaccurate, or not up to date, or if you would like to review and/or request changes or deletion of that information, you can contact our Webmaster.
If you do not consent or want to withdraw your consent for us to collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information as described in this Policy, please contact our Webmaster. In your request, please identify the Personal Information at issue and the collection, use, or disclosure you wish to stop.
Denying or withdrawing consent may not allow us to provide you with some or all of the products, services, or information you request.

If you agreed to receive future marketing communications directly from a third party through our Site, you will need to contact that party to opt-out of such communications. This process may be outlined on that party's privacy policy.
