Notice at Collection
Scosche collects Personal Information from people who browse our webpage, who purchase products from our webpage, and from third parties, such as service providers and online advertising partners, as outlined in the section titled “How We Collect Information.” “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. We collect this information to provide, maintain, and improve our products and website, and for other reasons listed in the “How We Use Information” section below. We will retain your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We only collect sensitive personal information to provide Scosche Products and the Scosche Website and we delete this information as soon as the purposes for collection are complete. We may sell or share identifiers, commercial information, internet or other electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from any of the information listed above. To exercise your right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information please contact us.

Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized. Anonymized information is considered Non-Personal Information. Any Personal Information collected when you visit Scosche Websites or use Scosche Products that is either aggregated or anonymized so it does not identify you personally will not be considered “Personal Information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Under no circumstances do we rent or sell your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes if you have granted us permission to do so. We will ask for your consent, such as by email response, opt-in box or click through agreement acceptance, before we use or share your Personal Information for any purpose other than the reason you provided it or as otherwise provided by this Privacy Policy. We may disclose Personal Information in the following ways:
- Within Scosche for purposes of data processing or storage.
- With business partners, service vendors, authorized third-party agents or contractors to provide a requested service or transaction, including processing orders, hosting websites, storing your information, providing email communications on our behalf and providing customer support. We only provide these third parties with the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to complete or provide the requested service or transaction, and we do not allow third parties to use your Personal Information for a different purpose than what was disclosed to you.
- With service providers, advisors, or other third parties to the extent reasonably necessary to proceed with the negotiation or completion of a direct or indirect reorganization process including, but not limited to, a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our assets. If Scosche merges with or acquires or is acquired by another entity, Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction and/or in preparation for such transaction.

In addition, we may share aggregated and anonymized Personal Information, including usage data about Scosche Products, with third parties for a variety of purposes, including to analyze trends about home networking and utility use, to show third parties how their products could work with Scosche Products and to generally improve home networking. We've taken steps to ensure that this information cannot be linked back to you and we require third parties to keep all shared information in its anonymized form.
For certain Scosche products, Scosche may provide the opportunity for you to connect and interface Scosche Products with one or more third party products and services, which will involve the exchange of information from your Scosche Product with the third party product or service. In some cases, if you purchase, use or download a third party product or service that connects to a Scosche Product, you may also be subject to such third party's privacy policy. Scosche is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party partners. If you access a Scosche Product through a third party product in this manner, you consent and agree to the privacy policy of such third party. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policies and terms of use of any third party products that connect to Scosche Products.
Any third parties with whom we share your Personal Information are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure these third parties comply with the same privacy principles that govern our collection of your personal information.
When making purchases on the Scosche Website store(s), Scosche uses a payment processor to verify your payment card information. Your payment card information is passed through to the payment processor and is not collected or stored by Scosche. The payment processor is authorized to use this information only to authenticate your purchase and for no other purpose.
The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Marketing
You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes. We will inform you via this Scosche Website Privacy Policy and the Scosche Website Cookie Policy (before or at the time we collect your Personal Information) when we intend to use your Personal Information for marketing purposes, or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for marketing purposes. Whenever possible, we will always give you choices about your Personal Information. Some choices are presented up front in the form of opt-in notices or acceptance boxes for marketing to you or sharing your Personal Information with third parties. In certain cases, where permitted by law, we also may give you the choice to opt-out. "Opt-out" means you have already chosen to opt-in, but you later change your mind. One form of opt-out is clicking the Unsubscribe link in a marketing email. This will take you off of our marketing email list. Scosche's general policy is to have users opt-in, rather than opt-out, to receive marketing information and to allow the sharing of information with third parties. Please note that these opt-in/opt-out choices do not apply to the receipt of mandatory website, customer service or receipt of order or shipping confirmations on Scosche Website store(s), which you may receive periodically unless you cancel your service or order.

Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals
The “Do Not Track” (DNT) privacy preference is an option that may be made in some web browsers allowing you to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At this time, global standard DNT technology is not yet finalized and not all browsers support DNT. We therefore do not recognize DNT signals and do not respond to them. We currently do not recognize opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (available here), as a request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
