QUALCOMM LOCATION SERVICE

Qualcomm Location Service (formerly “IZat Location Services” or “IZat”) is
technology offered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in the U.S., QT Technologies
Ireland Limited in countries within the European Economic Area, and Qualcomm
CDMA Technologies (Korea) YH in the Republic of Korea (a.k.a. South Korea).
Qualcomm Location Service may enable your device to determine its location more
quickly and accurately – even when your device is unable to get a strong GPS
signal. Qualcomm Location Service may also help your device conserve battery
power when you use applications or services requiring location data. If you use
location-enabled applications, your device may send its location to such
application providers. Location information provided to application providers is
governed by their terms and privacy policies. We recommend you refer to the
terms and privacy policies of those application providers.

If your device includes Qualcomm Location Service, you must opt-in to enable it.
If you do not opt-in to Qualcomm Location Service, your device will not benefit
from the benefits from the service including slower location calculations and
greater battery consumption when using location-based apps.

Qualcomm Location Service works by periodically downloading data to your device
regarding the locations of nearby cellular towers and Wi-Fi access points. This
data may be combined with data from the sensors on your device such as the
gyroscope or accelerometer to help your device determine its location and
conserve battery power.
Qualcomm Location Service periodically sends us a unique software ID, the
location of your device (longitude, latitude and altitude, and its uncertainty)
and nearby cellular towers and Wi-Fi hotspots, signal strength, and time
(collectively, “Location Data”). As with any Internet communication, we also
receive the IP address your device uses. We use the data we collect to help us
evaluate, maintain, and improve the performance of our systems.

Qualcomm Location Service uses a variety of reasonable and appropriate security
measures to protect the data we collect. In addition, we do not permanently
store Location Data with your software ID or IP address, nor do we attempt to
personally identify users of Qualcomm Location Service. To evaluate, maintain
and improve system performance, your software ID and IP address are associated
with your Location Data for thirty days from receipt after which time it is
permanently deleted. After removing IP addresses and software IDs, we aggregate
the Location Data to create an anonymous database regarding the locations of
cellular towers and Wi-Fi access points. We may retain and use the de-identified
and/or anonymous data collected from Qualcomm Location Service for our business
purposes. We do not sell (as that term is defined under the California Consumer
Privacy Act) the full IP address or unique software ID collected from Qualcomm
Location Service; and we share personal data only under the limited
circumstances described in this Policy.

If you are in the Republic of Korea, Qualcomm Location Service complies with the
Location Information Protection Act (“Act”) and you are entitled to relevant
rights under the Act. For questions or comments about our practices in Korea,
please contact us at:

QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGY REPORTING (QTR)

QTR is technology offered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in the U.S. and QT
Technologies Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area. QTR may collect: (i)
the names of the apps installed and/or running on the device, (ii) configuration
information (such as make, model, operating system and version, firmware and
versions, wireless carrier, mobile country code and network code, anonymous QTR
software identifier, and chipset serial number (which does not identify you)),
and (iii) device performance statistics (such as CPU, GPU, or modem
performance).

QTR uses a variety of reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect
the data we collect. QTR typically uses Wi-Fi, but may, in limited
circumstances, upload via your cellular network.

As with any internet connection, we will receive the IP address the device used
to send us data and we use the IP address to help us evaluate, maintain, and
improve the performance of our systems and to determine general location (such
as country, state, city, or zip code, but not specific geolocation). If we
determine that QTR has sent us any data not identified in this Policy that could
be personal data, we promptly delete such data after receipt. Some versions of
QTR also have the capability of collecting the device’s international mobile
equipment identifier (IMEI), but this capability is not currently being used.
If, in the future, we collect IMEI, it will be collected for disclosed,
necessary purposes, and in accordance with all applicable data protection and
privacy laws. Finally, some versions of QTR also have the ability to allow you
to opt in to send device location data. If you opt in to send location data, we
may periodically collect the location of your device to help us, for example, to
identify areas with low wireless signal coverage.

We use the data QTR collects for the purposes described in this Policy,
including to help us develop next generation mobile technologies to improve
wireless performance, conserve battery power, develop advanced security, and
improve our business operations. We do not sell (as that term is defined under
the California Consumer Privacy Act) the full IP address, unique software ID, or
chipset serial number collected from QTR; and we share personal data only under
the limited circumstances described in the this Policy.

QTR offers a choice to opt out of data collection in the Android settings menu
under the heading, “Qualcomm Technologies Reporting”. Opting out will not
negatively affect your device performance.
We retain the IP address for the purposes described in this Policy for up to
ninety (90) days, after which we de-identify the IP address. The de-identified
IP address and the other data collected by QTR are anonymous to us and we retain
and use such data for our business purposes.


QUALCOMM GNSS ASSISTANCE SERVICE

The Qualcomm GNSS Assistance Service (formerly “XTRA”) is a service offered by
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in the US and QT Technologies Ireland Limited in the
European Economic Area (collectively “QTI”) to its original equipment
manufacturer customers. The Qualcomm GNSS Assistance Service reduces the time
and power required for on-device location calculation. The Qualcomm GNSS
Assistance Service downloads to your device a data file from QTI containing the
predicted orbits of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites.
The Qualcomm GNSS Assistance Service also uploads a small amount of data to us
comprised of: a randomly generated unique software ID that is not associated to
you or to other IDs, the chipset name and serial number, the Qualcomm GNSS
Assistance Service software version, the mobile country code(s) and network
code(s) (allowing identification of country and wireless operator), the type of
operating system and version, device make and model, the date and time of
connection to the server, the time since the last boot of the application
processor and modem, and a list of QTI software on the device.

As with any internet connection, we will also receive the IP address the device
used to send us data. We use the data we collect to evaluate, maintain, and
improve the performance of our systems and to determine general location (but
not specific geolocation). We do not sell (as that term is defined under the
California Consumer Privacy Act) the full IP address, unique software ID, or
chipset serial number, and we share personal data only under the limited
circumstances described in this Policy.

Qualcomm GNSS Assistance Service uses a variety of reasonable and appropriate
security measures to protect the data we collect.

We retain the IP address for up to ninety (90) days to evaluate, maintain, and
improve the performance of our systems after which we de-identify the IP
address. The de-identified IP address and the other data uploaded by Qualcomm
GNSS Assistance Service is anonymous to us and we retain and use such data for
our business purposes.
