Non-Identifiable Data: When you utilize the Application, we may receive certain personally non-identifiable information about your use of the Application. Such information, which may be obtained passively using various technologies, or via submission of data by devices you have configured to work with the Application, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. We may store such information ourselves or it may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents, or service providers.

Aggregated User Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Application, we may conduct research on our end user’s demographics, interests, and behavior based on the User Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregated data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Camera Access: LA Wallet may ask you for permission to access your mobile device's camera. Your camera is only used with your explicit permission.

Your camera may also be used, optionally, when submitting a request for user support.  

Bluetooth Access: LA Wallet may ask you for permission to use Bluetooth on your mobile device. Bluetooth is used when you choose to share your ISO 18013-5 compliant mDL to an authorized mDL reader device. Your mDL is not shared over Bluetooth without your express permission and approval. You can read more about the ISO 18013-5 mDL standard here.

Our Disclosure of Your User Data and Other Information

If you “opt-out” by clicking the opt-out link, there are certain circumstances in which we may share your User Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, including as set forth below:

Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event relating to all or a portion of our business or assets, User Data may be part of the transferred assets.

Service Providers, Agents, and Related Third Parties: We sometimes hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we may need to provide them with access to certain User Data. However, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, and these third-party service providers will only use your User Data to perform the services requested by us.

Legal Requirements: We may also disclose your User Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

Exclusions

This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to us. This includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the Application, any ideas for new products or modifications to existing services, posts made on ENVOC’s or its affiliates’ social media accounts, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”), that by its nature is accessible or intended to be accessible to other users of the Services.

All such Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution. Please also note that any User Data or other information you provide to be displayed in your publicly available online profile will be displayed for others to see and thus will not be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We cannot and will not be responsible for what third parties do with any Personal Data or other information that you choose to make publicly available. As such, we advise that you exercise great care in determining what information you choose to make publicly available through the Services.

Links to Other Websites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Application. To the extent that the Application makes use of other applications or services, regardless of ownership by ENVOC, this Privacy Policy shall apply only to this Application. Further, the Application may frame or contain references or links to other websites not operated or controlled by us (the “Third Party Services”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Services. The links from the Application do not imply our review or endorsement of the Third Party Services. We suggest contacting those sites and any other utilized service or application directly for information on their privacy policies.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the User Data provided via the Application from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including through restriction of access to User Data to our employees, contractors, agents, and consultants who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve the Application. These steps include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security
measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store User Data. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Application may not be secure. Therefore, you should, therefore, take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any User Data to us via the Internet.

Data Integrity

We process User Data only for the purposes for which it was obtained and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the User Data needed to provide or improve our Application in compliance with this Privacy Policy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the User Data we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their User Data whenever necessary. Users accept full responsibility for ensuring their User Data is accurate and complete to the extent that the User chooses to provide information through the Application.

Your Choices

We offer you choices regarding the storage, use, and sharing of your User Data and we will respect the choices you make. Please note that if you decide not to provide us with the User Data we request, you may not be able to access some or all of the features of the Application.

Changes to this Policy

The Application we offer may change from time to time. As a result, at times it may be necessary for us to make changes to this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, we reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. Please review this policy periodically, and especially before you provide any Personal Data. This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated above. Your continued use of the Application after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised Privacy Policy.
