What are My Choices?

Motorola takes privacy protection seriously. Here are some ways that you can control what information MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES collects and uses:

Marketing Communications. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from Motorola, you may visit http://optout.motorola.com or follow the directions contained in the email to remove your name from our mailing list(s). Refusing to provide personal information or denying or withdrawing consent to use personal information as identified in this privacy statement may make you unable to participate in certain Motorola-sponsored programs or activities.
Personal Information. MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES only collects personal information, social network profile data, and information about websites you visit if you create a MotoCast ID, use the preinstalled web browser and/or MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES applications and widgets like Messaging, Gallery, Music Player, Social Networking and Social Status. If you use non-Motorola applications for email, social networking, sharing content with your friends, and web browsing, then MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES will not collect this information. Even if you decline to use the preinstalled browser or the MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES applications and widgets, your device will continue to collect data under your selected Privacy Profile.
Location Information. MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES only collects and uses information about the location of your mobile device if you have enabled one or more location-based services, such as your device's GPS antenna, Google Location Services, or a carrier-provided location service. If you turn these features off in your mobile device's settings, MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES will not record the location of your mobile device. Attempting to enable location-dependent features of MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES without a location service active will prompt you to turn one on in your device's settings. If you use MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES's location-dependent features, Motorola will make information about the location of your mobile device available to mapping service providers as described in this privacy statement because these features need the mapping service to function properly.
Privacy Profiles. Your Motorola device lets you decide what information we will collect by choosing a Privacy Profile. If you select the Support Only profile, we will collect Core Functional Data and Performance Data and use it to improve our technical support capabilities should you contact us for help. If you select the Standard Profile we will collect Core Functional Data, Performance Data, and Analytics Data, which we will use to provide you with further enhanced support for your device, to improve our products and services. If you select the Advanced Profile, we will collect Core Functional Data, Performance Data, Analytics Data, Application Usage History, the location of your device, your publicly-available social network profile information, and information about the websites you have visited with your device's built-in web browser. We will use this information to give you the best possible user experience in terms of support and recommendations. If you choose None, we will only collect Core Functional Data where needed to provide your device with software updates over the air.

If you have any questions relating to how MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES collects and uses information, or if you wish to opt out of any of these items, please contact Motorola's Privacy Compliance Program. Motorola can disable data collection described in this privacy statement upon your request, but doing so may negatively impact your ability to receive the most effective technical support and may otherwise affect some aspects of your user experience.

Motorola processes and stores information collected from your mobile device on servers located in the United States of America. If you reside outside of the United States, your use of MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES constitutes your specific consent to the transfer of your information, including without limitation personally identifiable information and all information described in this privacy statement, to the United States for processing and storage. You also acknowledge that United States law may not provide the same level of protection for collected information as laws applicable in your home country.

How Does Motorola Store and Protect My Information?

Motorola will retain information that it collects from you for as long as your mobile device is active or as needed to provide you with access to MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES and related services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that Motorola cease using your information to provide you with services, please contact us at privacy@motorola.com.

The security of your information is important to Motorola. When MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES transmits information from your mobile device to Motorola, MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES encrypts the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Motorola also uses standard technical and organizational security measures to protect information that resides on your mobile device and on Motorola systems. However, no data stored on a mobile device or transmitted over a wireless or interactive network can ever be 100 percent secure, and many of the communications you make using MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES will be accessible to third parties. You should therefore be cautious when submitting any personally identifiable information using MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES, and you understand that you are using MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES at your own risk.

As a global company, Motorola has international sites and users all over the world. The personal information you provide may be transmitted, used, stored, and otherwise processed outside of the country where you submitted that information, including jurisdictions that may not have data privacy laws that provide equivalent protection to such laws in your home country.

What About My Child's Privacy?

Motorola provides MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES for use by persons age 16 and over. Motorola does not seek to collect information about children under the age of 16. Children under 16 years of age should not submit information to Motorola. Motorola will delete information collected from children under 16 immediately upon discovery and will not use the information for any purpose. Motorola encourages parents to take an active role in their children's use of any interactive service or device, and to inform them of the potential dangers of providing information about themselves over the Internet. Motorola will retain information that it collects from you for as long as your mobile device is active or as needed to provide you with access to MOTOROLA MOBILE SERVICES and related services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that Motorola cease using your information to provide you with services, please contact us at privacy@motorola.com.
