MAI understands your concerns about how your information is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This GeoPoll Privacy Policy lets you know what information we collect when you visit the Site, register as a GeoPoll user, participate in a GeoPoll survey, download and use the GeoPoll Mobile Application (“Mobile App”) or otherwise use the GeoPoll service (collectively, the “Services”), how we use such information, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information. By accessing and using the Services, you acknowledge your consent to the terms and conditions of this GeoPoll Privacy Policy.

1. Types of Information We Collect 

Information you give us. We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as the following:

Registration information. When you sign up for a GeoPoll account, we may collect certain personal information from you, meaning information about you that can uniquely identify you such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (“personal information”), if you choose to provide us with such information. Upon registration, we may also collect information about you that

does not uniquely identify you, such as information related to your account settings and preferences, if you choose to provide us with such information.

Survey Responses. When you participate in a GeoPoll survey, whether through the Site or other MAI websites, text messages, APIs, Mobile App, and/or buttons, we may collect and store your responses to such surveys. Your survey responses are owned by MAI and used by MAI or its contracted partners.

Information from other sources.

Usage and Device Information. When you access and use the Services, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We also may use third-party website analytics tools that collect information about visitor traffic on the Services. The information we may collect by automated means may include (i) usage information such as your IP address, browser information and other information related to your visit to and use of the Services; and (ii) information about the device you use to access and use the Services, such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including your phone number. All usage and device information may be associated with your GeoPoll account.

Location Information. When you access and use the Services using a mobile device, we may collect, store, process, and use information about your actual location through GPS signals or other technologies that determine location, including, but not limited to device latitude/longitude, accuracy, heading, speed, 

and altitude, cell tower and Wi-Fi access point information. All location information may be associated with your GeoPoll account.

Third-Party Partners. We may also collect information about you from our third-party partners, as further described below.

Please note that we may collect, store, process, and use personal information about your online activities on the Site over time and/or across third-party websites or online services in the event such information is available through such third-party websites and online services. For the sake of clarity we do not authorize third-party websites  to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Services unless authorized by you.

2. How We Use Your Information 

We may use the information we obtain about you to register you for a GeoPoll account, provide services you have requested, authenticate users of the Services, respond to your questions and comments, and provide customer support, operate, evaluate and improve our business and the Services, analyze trends and statistics regarding visitors’ use of the Services, enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements.

We may utilize information obtained from you to collect additional information about you from our third-party partners and may combine information that we obtain from you with information from such third-party partners.

 
We may also use the information we obtain about you in other ways with your consent. 

In addition to the uses identified above and elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may use your personal information to:

• improve your browsing experience by personalizing the Website and Mobile App and to improve the Services;


• send information or GeoPoll content to you which we think may be of interest to you by post, email, text, or other means and send you marketing communications relating to our business;


• promote use of our Services to you and share promotional and information content with you in accordance with your communication preferences;

Legal basis for processing Personal Information (EEA visitors only)

If you are a visitor/partner/client/respondent located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), GeoPoll is likely considered the data controller of your personal information. When required due to the nature of specific project GeoPoll will activate a Data Protection Officer to oversee the data controller competency. The Data Protection Officer can be contacted at legal@mobileaccord.com.  

Our legal basis for collecting, storing, processing, and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect, store, process, and use personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so (i.e. opt-in), where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the collection, storage, processing, and/or use is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

Use of Navigational Information

We use navigational information to operate and improve the Site and the Services. We may also use navigational information alone or in combination with personal information to provide you with personalized information about GeoPoll.  

Where and How We Store Your Personal Information

We follow generally accepted industry standards to ensure your personal data is kept secure and protected from accidental loss or unauthorized access, use or alteration, through the following structural and technical measures:

• Confidentiality clauses in all of our employment and service agreements with natural or legal persons having access to personal information;


• Computers and email accounts of all of our employees being password protected;


• Access to GeoPoll accounts being protected by unique login details and passwords;


• Encryption of the personal information while in transport through the https protocol;


• Encryption of the personal information while at rest;


• Encryption of the backups including personal information;


• Personal information stored on secured servers and infrastructures;


• Permissions of access to documents including personal information regularly reviewed and monitored; and


• Regular monitoring of the usefulness of stored personal information and deletion of all personal information no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

Unfortunately, and despite our efforts, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to / from GeoPoll or through the Internet in general; please note that any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use our procedures and security features to try to prevent any unauthorized access.
