This privacy policy is effective as of September 3, 2014.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This privacy policy explains how Motorola Mobility LLC (“Motorola,” “we,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, retains, and protects information about our products, services, and users.

It applies to Motorola products you own and Motorola software and services you use under license provided by the Motorola Experiences Terms and Conditions.

Collectively, we call these these products, services, and software the Motorola Experiences.

This privacy policy does not apply to third-party software and services you install on or otherwise access through your Motorola products or to any Motorola software or services you use under an individual license separate from the Motorola Experiences Terms and Conditions.

How can the Motorola Experiences collect and use information?

The Motorola Experiences can use information to keep your Motorola products working their best and help you make the most of them. This includes:

  • Keeping your Motorola Experiences up to date. We’re always working to provide updates that fix bugs and deliver new features. We always collect and use information we need to keep the Motorola Experiences up to date.
  • Helping improve the Motorola Experiences and Getting Enhanced Support. We want to make sure your products, services, and software are always working their best. If you choose to allow it, we collect and use information to identify performance trends, prioritize bug fixes, develop new features, and troubleshoot issues you may be having with the Motorola Experiences.
  • Creating a User Profile. We may create a profile of your use of our products, services, and websites based on information we have collected from you and your Motorola products. We use the profile to provide services and support and to make improvements to our offerings.
  • Providing Motorola Experiences functionality. Some Motorola Experiences need access to information in order to function. They may keep the information locally on your Motorola products or they may transfer it to Motorola or a third party. This information may include personal information like the location of your device, contextual data collected from sensors that describes what you may be doing at the time, and user generated content like app data, calendar entries, contacts, call history, and SMS and MMS messages, and photos, videos, and documents. Some Motorola Experiences may work with companion products like Bluetooth accessories, NFC tags, and other hardware or downloadable software. Motorola Experiences will only access your information if you specifically choose to use them.

You can choose whether you want to Help Improve Motorola Products or Get Enhanced Support by visiting the Motorola Privacy settings on your Motorola products and turning these options on or off.

You can control whether Motorola Experiences collect information from you by turning them on and off. If you turn off a Motorola Experience, it won’t collect information. You can find these controls by accessing individual Motorola Experiences’ settings.

If you don't want us to create a user profile, you can turn off data collection options in your Motorola Privacy settings and disable Motorola Experiences that collect information. This will stop your Motorola Experiences from collecting new data. Our servers will delete old profile data according to our own policies. If you have questions about what’s in your user profile or if you want to delete data from your profile, you can send a request to privacy@motorola.com or contact our customer service team by phone, email, or Internet chat.

Some Motorola Experiences use Google Analytics for mobile apps to collect performance-related usage information. You can learn more about how Google Analytics handles information by reviewing the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.

We limit sharing of information described in this privacy policy to certain types of third parties who help us use it for purposes you have agreed to. They include:

  • Service providers who provide hosting, data analysis, and customer support functions.
  • Motorola affiliates who help provide functionality for the Motorola Experiences and who help us use information as described in this privacy policy.
  • Wireless carriers and their affiliates and service providers, subject to your customer agreement with them.
  • Law enforcement and other government agencies subject to valid legal process.
  • Other third parties helping us protect our rights, our users’ rights, and the rights of others.
How does Motorola store and protect information it has collected and shared?

We use standard technical and organizational safeguards when we transmit information from your Motorola products to our servers, when we store data, and when we share it with third parties. Before we share information with a service provider, we enter contracts with them that restrict their use of information to authorized purposes and require them to use appropriate safeguards to protect the information that we have provided to them. However, no data stored on a mobile device or transmitted over a wireless or interactive network can ever be 100 percent secure, so you should take steps to manage your privacy and security too. By using the Motorola Experiences you understand that you do so at your own risk.

Our products include features designed to help you protect the information you store on your Motorola products like encryption, face unlock, password and PIN unlock, and remote control over your Motorola products so you can locate, lock, and erase lost or stolen devices.

You can learn more about these features by accessing your Motorola products’ Security settings.

When we collect information described in this privacy policy, we will retain it on our servers as long as necessary to support the Motorola Experiences you are using and to comply with applicable laws and our own policies. If you stop using a Motorola Experience, we will delete information uploaded to our servers as required by law and our own policies.

We may transfer, use, and store information that the Motorola Experiences collect outside of the country it came from. These places may include jurisdictions whose privacy laws do not provide equivalent protection to such laws in your home country. We take appropriate steps to treat your information securely and in accordance with this privacy policy, our terms of use, and applicable laws and regulations. Use of the Motorola Experiences constitutes your specific consent to the transfer of information described in this privacy policy.

We use and store information that we collect from the Motorola Experiences in the United States of America. Use of the Motorola Experiences outside of the United States constitutes your specific consent to the transfer of information described in this privacy statement, to the United States, even if United States laws may not provide the same level of protection for collected information as laws applicable in your home country.

What about my child’s privacy?

The Motorola Experiences are intended for adults and children ages 13 and up who have permission to use them from their parents or legal guardians. We do not seek to collect information about children under the age of 13 and will delete any as soon as we discover it. We also encourage parents to actively supervise their children’s use of the Motorola Experiences.

Keeping your Motorola Experiences up to date

When we check for updates, we use information like your mobile phone number; your Motorola products’ unique identifiers; your Motorola Experiences’ version numbers; and whether you’re connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network to know when you have an available update.

  • Lets you set up automated content sharing sessions called Zap Zones that automatically share photos and videos participants create with everyone else who has joined the Zap Zone.
Camera

Motorola’s Camera application allows you to:

  • Tag your photos and videos with location data. When you share tagged photos with others, you will also share the location information. If you choose to geo-tag your photos and videos, Motorola’s Gallery app will use the information to help organize your views.
  • Launch the application without touching the screen by using contextual data derived from sensors to detect a launch gesture.
  • Take better pictures by using face detection and other analytics on what’s in your viewfinder to deliver the best image, which may occur before or after you triggered the shutter. You can compare the best image with the original picture you captured in Gallery and select which images to keep. Face detection information stays on your phone and doesn’t get uploaded to Motorola or shared with third parties. To help us troubleshoot performance issues, Camera will store image quality information in your photos’ metadata. Sharing the photos will also share image quality information.
Gallery

Motorola’s Gallery application has a Highlight Reel feature that helps you make short video clips from your best photos and video scenes. When you create a Highlight Reel, Gallery will analyze and compare faces that appear in your photos and videos (in addition to other quality measurements) to select the best scenes. Gallery keeps all data collected from your photos and videos relating to facial analysis on device and uses it solely to create Highlight Reels.

Moto

Moto makes your device more responsive by giving you more ways to control and interact with it. Moto makes it easier for you to get important notifications, control your device with your voice and gestures, and automate useful settings changes depending on where you are or what you may be doing at the time.

Moto Actions makes it easier to interact with your Motorola products by letting you use simple gestures to perform tasks quickly. Moto Actions will:

  • Dismiss notifications from the Moto Display with a wave.
  • Silence the ringer when you reach for your device.
  • Switch your ringer to vibrate mode and keep the screen on when you’re paying attention to your device.

Moto Actions uses contextual data collected from sensors in supported Motorola products that can detect conditions like ambient noise, attention, proximity, motion, and touch.

Moto Assist uses information about your activities to to automate lets you automate common tasks like:

  • Responding to text messages and starting your music when you’re driving.
  • Muting your ringer when you’re busy in a meeting or asleep.
  • Helping you respond to text messages with your voice when you’re at home.
Moto Assist:

  • Your calendar entries.
  • Information about apps on your device and the notifications they send you.

Moto Voice lets you control your Motorola products hands-free by speaking commands. It will:

  • Learn to recognize your voice and your launch phrase. This creates a mathematical representation of your voice sample that we use to trigger Moto Voice. If you record a custom launch phrase, Moto Voice will also keep a recording of it on your device for authentication purposes. You can also play it back to remind yourself at any time.
  • Make a short recording after it detects your launch phrase. We use this recording to either process your command or pass it onto Google Voice Search and don’t upload it to Motorola servers unless you specifically agree to share your voice commands with us for performance analysis purposes.
  • See what apps you have installed on your phone so Moto Voice can help you control third-party apps with just your voice.
Motorola Alert

Motorola Alert lets you alert people important to you when you’re in a location that may not be safe and provide them with information they may be able to use to help you. Motorola Alert:

  • Lets you define places of interest like where you live and work
  • Select emergency contacts from your address book to receive notifications from Motorola Alert.
  • Gives you the option to send automatic messages to emergency contacts based on activities like entering and leaving places of interest or to send predefined messages when you feel like you need help.
  • Lets you trigger an emergency mode, where Motorola Alert will automatically notify your emergency contacts, sound an audible alarm, and enable you to easily place an emergency call.

In order to work, Motorola Alert needs:

  • Access to your contacts so you can pick recipients for alerts. Make sure you keep this information up to date!
  • Your device’s location so you can share it with selected contacts when you send alerts.
  • To use cellular or WiFi networks to send messages and place emergency calls.
Motorola Connect

Motorola Connect lets you easily manage supported accessories that you pair or sync with your Motorola products, like Bluetooth headsets, wireless speakers, wearable devices, and applications that run on your PC.

Motorola Connect:

  • Checks your location so it knows which supported devices are nearby.
  • Automatically connects nearby supported devices directly (like over Bluetooth) when they come into range, or over the Internet.
  • Syncs information among supported devices so you can switch among them seamlessly.
  • On non-Motorola mobile devices, we also collect information about how often you use Motorola Connect features and how well Motorola Connect is working.
  • Additionally, some devices Motorola Connect manages rely on additional information in order to work.

The Motorola Connect Chrome Extension lets you send and receive messages, respond to phone calls, and read notifications via an application you install on your computer’s Google Chrome browser. Motorola Connect relies on user generated content like:

  • Your contacts.
  • Your call and voicemail history.
  • Your phone’s text and MMS messages.
  • The country where you’re located.

We sync this information to our servers periodically in order to keep information in the browser extension current. We use location-related information to make sure that we display phone numbers in the right local format but don’t collect it. Signing out of Motorola Connect from your Chrome browser extension will delete any synced information from our server and from your computer. We also periodically check (but do not collect) your device’s coarse location so the browser extension can display phone numbers properly formatted for the country you're in.

Moto 360 uses sensors built into the wearable device to collect wellness-related data like your heart rate and step count so you can track your progress towards daily and weekly activity goals. You can also create a wellness profile by providing demographic information like your height, weight, gender, and age. This will help your Moto 360 provide more accurate wellness information.

Moto 360 can upload your wellness profile and data to our cloud and add it to your user profile. We use this information to provide you with access to more accurate wellness information like activity statistics over time. We also use it to create new, personalized features for your Moto 360 and other Motorola products.

Motorola Migrate

Motorola Migrate lets you transfer certain content and settings from your old devices directly to your new Motorola products. To migrate from another Android device, you need to install an app on the old device. To migrate from a non-smartphone we may have to automatically install software on your old phone. Motorola Migrate uses wireless antennas to copy user generated content like:

  • Contacts and calendar information not synced to an online account.
  • Text messages and call logs.
  • Photos, videos, and music stored on your old devices.

Using Motorola Migrate from a non-smartphone will only transfer contacts. To migrate from an iOS device, we use a third-party service provider to sync select user generated content from your iCloud account to your Google account. When you add that Google account to your new Motorola device, the migrated content will be available.

Motorola Spotlight Stories

Motorola Spotlight Stories deliver digital content like interactive animated shorts to supported Motorola devices. Motorola Spotlight Stories does not deliver ads to your device or access any of your personal information. Unless you choose to disable it, Motorola Spotlight Stories will:

  • Periodically download new content when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
  • Tell you when you have new content in a special way that's unique to each story, such as a floating icon you can touch to launch the story.
  • Use your devices’ sensors and controls to let you interact with the story in new ways.
Motorola SmartActions

Motorola SmartActions lets you define rules that automatically change your phone’s settings. You can define triggers like when you’re at a specific location, when you’re connected to a Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi network. You can also define actions to take in response to those triggers, like enabling or disabling phone features, silencing your ringer, and launching applications. Motorola SmartActions uses information like your device’s location, the contents of your calendar, and the applications you have installed on your device, but does not upload it to Motorola.
