We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add to it or combine it with your personal information. For example, we may collect demographic and marketing data about you from third parties for marketing research and analysis to improve our products/services, obtain updated address information from our shippers, or collect information from other vendors that promote and distribute our products through their own brands.
WHEN YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED OR DISCLOSED
Slash Idea does not sell, rent, license or otherwise share information with unaffiliated parties except as explained in this privacy policy.
Consent Given/Transaction Processing
We may disclose personal information about you to third parties with your consent. Consent is sometimes implicit, as in the disclosure of personal information to third-parties who complete transactions or perform services on our behalf. For example, we routinely provide your name, billing address, and credit card information, along with the amount to be charged, to the bank that processes your credit card for billing purposes.
To the Primary Account Holder
The primary account holder (party financially responsible for the account) is obliged to inform all wireless device users (either regular, casual or one time user) about the application installed to its equipment and its ability to track the user. If primary account holder is employer of the user, or a formal representative of the user’s employer; the primary account holder has no right to access user’s statistics and tracks if they cover employee’s non working time. However he can require from the employee to print or copy his tracks records related to the working period.
This solution is not designed and neither can be used for unauthorized people tracking. Any attempt for unauthorized tracking will lead to primary and secondary account cancelling and termination of the services ordered by primary account holder. The termination of Slash Idea services might be permanent and no representative of the entity whose account has been cancelled for such reason has right to enforce Slash Idea to reactivate the account. If the application is intently used for such illegal activity, Slash Idea can provide collected information to the police or legal representatives in order to inflict sanctions to the person responsible for this activity.
The solution is not designed and dedicated for tracking of people who are not informed they are tracked (e.g. police suspect tracking, private detective activities, espionage etc.). If any of these activities will happen, Slash Idea will terminate all services provided to entity represented by primary account holder, and will provide none of the collected data. The entity can require collected data only by contacting legal authorities of the country where Slash Idea’s headquarter is based, and the data will be delivered based on local court or police order in compliance with international protection of human rights. In this case Slash Idea does not guarantee, it will store the gathered data any more. Slash Idea can terminate the service (even permanently) to any entity that is suspected of tracking people who are not informed they are tracked.
We may disclose personal information of an account user to the primary account holder, especially if lost or forgotten passwords or login details. The primary account holder is then responsible to any information usage according to local legislation and laws.
Third Party Services or Third Party Service Providers
MyCarTracks offers access to a variety of resources, including but not limited to various communication tools, forums, and links to other web sites in providing its services, products and websites. We may make certain personally identifiable information non-personal and share it or aggregated data with strategic partners that work with us to analyze usage, provide and improve products or services, or that help us market to customers, or for similar purposes. Information that is not personally identifiable or is aggregated is not subject to any restrictions of use or disclosure under this privacy policy.

Any such personal information that a third party uses will be subject to their applicable privacy policies.

Business Transfers
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. Slash Idea does not guarantee that any entity receiving such information in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all terms of this policy. But if this unlikely situation occurs, Slash Idea will carry out maximum effort to bind new owner with duty to inform users about possible changes a reasonable time before the Privacy Policy would be changed.
International Users
Information that we collect about you may also be transferred among our various divisions and affiliated companies around the world, which may involve transfer from countries within the European Union (EU) and Switzerland to countries outside the EU.

INFORMATION ON WIRELESS DEVICES

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Slash Idea has implemented various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information under our control. For instance, Slash Idea limits access to Slash Idea systems that store such information to authorized personnel. MyCarTracks also employs the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to protect your personal information when you bill on our website.

Slash Idea does not sell, rent, license or otherwise share information with unaffiliated parties except as explained in this privacy policy.
Consent Given/Transaction Processing
We may disclose personal information about you to third parties with your consent. Consent is sometimes implicit, as in the disclosure of personal information to third-parties who perform services on our behalf.
To the Primary Account Holder
The primary account holder (party responsible for the account) is obliged to inform all wireless device users (either regular, casual or one time user) about the application installed to its equipment and its ability to track the user. If primary account holder is employer of the user, or a formal representative of the user’s employer; the primary account holder has no right to access user’s statistics and tracks if they cover employee’s non working time. However he can require from the employee to print or copy his track records related to the working period.
This solution is not designed and neither can be used for unauthorized people tracking. Any attempt for unauthorized tracking will lead to primary and secondary account cancelling and termination of the services required by primary account holder. The termination of Slash Idea services might be permanent and no representative of the entity whose account has been cancelled for such reason has right to enforce Slash Idea to reactivate the account. If the application is intently used for such illegal activity, Slash Idea can provide collected information to the police or legal representatives in order to inflict sanctions to the person responsible for this activity.
The solution is not designed and dedicated for tracking of people who are not informed they are tracked (e.g. police suspect tracking, private detective activities, espionage etc.). If any of these activities will happen, Slash Idea will terminate all services provided to entity represented by primary account holder, and will provide none of the collected data. The entity can require collected data only by contacting legal authorities of the country where Slash Idea’s headquarter is based, and the data will be delivered based on local court or police order in compliance with international protection of human rights. In this case Slash Idea does not guarantee, it will store the gathered data any more. Slash Idea can terminate the service (even permanently) to any entity that is suspected of tracking people who are not informed they are tracked.
We may disclose personal information of an account user to the primary account holder, especially if lost or forgotten passwords or login details. The primary account holder is then responsible to any information usage according to local legislation and laws.
