The legal basis on which we process information

Where required by law, we will ensure there is a legal basis for the processing of your personal data. Depending on the specific personal data concerned and the factual context, when Motional processes personal data as a controller for individuals in regions such as the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK, we rely on the following legal bases as applicable in your jurisdiction:

As necessary for our contract – When we enter into a contract directly with customers, we process your personal data on the basis of our contract in order to prepare and enter into the contract, as well as to perform and manage our contract (i.e., providing Motional products, features and services to customers and their users, and manage our relationship and contract, including billing, compliance with contractual obligations, and related administration). If we do not process your personal data for these purposes, we may not be able to provide you with all products, features, and services;

As necessary to comply with our legal obligations – The processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, court orders or subpoenas;

Consistent with specific revocable consents – The processing is based on your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specified purposes (e.g. marketing). You have the right to withdraw your consent to certain cookies at any time by visiting our cookie management tool;

To protect your vital interests or those of others – We process certain personal data in order to protect vital interests for the purpose of detecting and preventing illicit activities that impact vital interests and public safety; and

As necessary for our (or others') legitimate interests, unless those interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require protection of personal data – We process your personal data based on such legitimate interests, for example to develop and improve our sites, products and/or services for the benefit of our customers; develop, test, and improve our products and troubleshoot products and features; send marketing communications, advertising, and promotions related to the products; and comply with non-EEA laws, regulations, codes of practice, guidelines, or rules applicable to us and respond to requests from, and other communications with, competent non-EEA public, governmental, judicial, or other regulatory authorities, as well as meet our corporate and social responsibility commitments, protect our rights and property and the ones of our customers, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Data storage venues include, without limitation, the United States, Singapore, South Korea, and the European Union. These and other data storage jurisdictions may operate under privacy and data protection laws different and less protective from those of your home jurisdiction. Your submission of data to our Site and your consent to this Privacy Statement include consent to such storage and processing outside of your jurisdiction.

We protect your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Statement wherever it is processed and take appropriate contractual or other steps to protect it under applicable laws. Where personal data of users in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK is being transferred to a recipient located in a country outside the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK which has not been recognized as having an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that the transfer is governed by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

California privacy rights

California Consumer Privacy Act

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), California residents may have a right to:

Access the categories and specific pieces of personal data Motional has collected, the categories of sources from which the personal data is collected, the business purpose(s) for collecting the personal data, and the categories of third parties with whom Motional has shared personal data;

Delete personal data under certain circumstances; and

Opt out of the “sale” of personal data. California residents have the right to opt-out of the sales of their personal data by us. As noted above, we do not sell personal data about California residents. However, like many companies, we use advertising services that try to tailor online ads to your interests based on information collected via cookies and similar technologies about your online activity. This is called interest-based advertising. The CCPA’s statutory definition of the term “sale” is broad and may include interest-based advertising. You can get more information and opt out of the use of cookies on our sites for interest-based advertising purposes by clicking the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link, in the webpage footer, and setting your preferences. You will need to set your preferences from each device and each web browser from which you wish to opt out. This feature uses a cookie to remember your preference, so if you clear all cookies from your browser, you will need to reset your settings.

Motional will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights, which is further in line with your rights under the CCPA.

To exercise your rights, contact us by emailing privacy@motional.com. To opt out of the use of cookies on our sites for interest-based advertising purposes, visit our cookie management tool.

We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days, and provide a substantive response within 45 calendar days, or inform you of the reason and extension period (up to 90 days) in writing.

Under the CCPA, only you or an authorized agent may make a request related to your personal data. Note that to respond to your requests to access or delete personal data under the CCPA, we must verify your identity. We may do so by requiring you to give a declaration as to your identity under penalty of perjury, and/or provide additional information. You may designate an authorized agent to submit your verified consumer request by providing written permission and verifying your identity, or through proof of power of attorney.

California’s Shine the Light Law

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as “Shine The Light” law, permits California residents to annually request information regarding the disclosure of your personal data (if any) to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share personal data with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
