Asset ID Limited, are committed
to protecting the privacy of visitors to our websites ("Websites")
and users
of our mobile applications ("Apps"). It is important that our users understand
how we
collect, use and disclose Personal Information (as defined below).
Asset ID has implemented
technical, administrative and physical measures
to safeguard any personal information that we may
collect.
This Privacy
Notice describes our practices related to Personal Information collected through
the
Websites and Apps, unless there is a separate privacy notice for a particular
website or mobile application.
Asset ID has a separate General Privacy Notice
that covers Personal Information that Asset ID may
collect and process separate
and apart from its Websites and Apps. If you apply for a job through
this
Website, Asset ID's use of the Personal Information you provide through the Careers
section is
governed by Asset ID's Job Applicant Privacy Notice found in that
Careers section, and not this
Privacy Notice. Asset ID may use cookies and
other tracking technologies on its Websites and Apps;
please consult our
Cookies Policy.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES Asset ID COLLECT?
HOW
DOES Asset ID COLLECT SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION?
"Personal Information"
is information through which a natural person is identifiable or may be
identified.
Asset ID collects, uses and processes your Personal Information in order to provide
you
with services, products or information that you request.
The collection
of Personal Information will be transparent to you, and you will have the opportunity
to decide whether or not to provide it. If you choose not to provide any of the
Personal Information
requested, Asset ID may be unable to complete your transaction,
or provide the information,
services or products you have requested.
Asset ID collects information, including Personal Information, from you when you
submit a form or
request, or register a product with Asset ID, such as: name,
physical address, the company for
whom you work, phone number, email address
and fax number, as well as any other Personal
Information you provide to
Asset ID. Asset ID may also ask you to provide information about the
product
you are registering (e.g. a device identifier) or the person/company that installed
or
maintains it.
Asset ID may also collect information through your
use of our Websites or Apps, such as device
identifiers, IP address, log
files, and location data. Please see "How does Asset ID use cookies or
other
tracking technologies?" below for more information.
Your mobile or internet
services providers may have a conflicting privacy position or policy that
permits them to capture, use and/or retain your Personal Information when you
visit the Websites
or use the Apps, but Asset ID is not responsible for and
does not control how other parties may
collect your Personal Information when
you access the Websites or Apps.

Except
where used in support of a contract with you or to fulfil a legal obligation,
our use of your

WHERE IS PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED?
Because Asset

States, the member states

other
countries, including some in Asia. We will transfer your Personal Information
consistent with
applicable legal requirements and only to the extent necessary
for the purposes set out above.
Asset ID relies on available legal mechanisms
to enable the legal transfer of Personal Information
across borders. To the
extent that Asset ID relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses (also called
the Model Clauses) or Binding Corporate Rules to authorize transfer, Asset ID
will comply with those
requirements, including where there may be a conflict
between those requirements and this Privacy
DOES Asset ID USE YOUR PERSONAL

Personal Information on an as-needed basis with
third parties, such as trusted

HOW DOES Asset

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP

The Personal Information you provide to Asset
ID is only kept for as long as it is reasonably necessary
for the purposes
for which it was collected, taking into account our need to comply
with contractual
obligations, resolve customer service issues, comply with legal requirements
and provide new or improved products and services to users. This means that we
may retain your Personal Information for a reasonable period after you stopped

HOW DOES Asset ID USE COOKIES OR OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
COOKIES
Asset ID may use cookies on this Website. Cookies
are small text files sent to and stored on users'
computers. We use cookies
to allow the Website to recognize repeat users, facilitate users'
access to
the Website, and allow the Website to compile aggregate data that will allow content
improvements. Cookies do not damage users' computers or files. If you do not
want cookies to
be accessible by this or any other Asset ID Website, you should
adjust the settings on your
browser program to deny or disable the use of
cookies. However, denying or disabling cookies
or similar technology may prevent
you from accessing some of our content or using some of
the features on the
Website. Asset ID may also use cookies and similar technology placed by
one
of our business or advertising partners to enable Asset ID to learn which advertisements
bring users to our Website.
In addition, Asset ID monitors user traffic
patterns throughout its Websites according to a user's
domain name, browser
type, date and time of access, and pages viewed. Our Web servers
collect the
domain names but not the email addresses of visitors. This information is collected
in order to measure the number of visitors to our Website and to determine which
areas of the Website users find useful based upon the amount of traffic to
particular areas.
Asset ID uses this information to enhance users' experience
at the Website and to better
prepare future content based on the interests
of users.
WEB BEACONS
This Website may also use web beacons. A web
beacon is usually a pixel on a website that can be
used to track whether a
user has visited a particular website to deliver targeted advertising.
Web
beacons are used in combination with cookies, which means that, if you turn off
your
browser's cookies, the web beacons will not be able to track your activity.
The web beacon will
still count as a website visit, but your unique information
will not be recorded.
Information collected by web beacons may include IP
address information (see below). Web beacon
information is also used for:
o Advertising and email auditing, and reporting;
o Personalization;
o Site traffic reporting; and
o Unique visitor counts.
IP ADDRESSES
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is used by computers on
the network to identify
your computer every time you log on to the Internet.
Asset ID may collect and keep track of IP addresses to, among other things:
o Maintain Website safety and security;
o Restrict access to our Websites
to certain users;
o Troubleshoot technical issues; and
o Better understand
how Asset ID Websites are used.
LOG FILES
Asset ID (or third parties
on behalf of Asset ID) may collect information in the form of log files that
are
recording Website activities and statistics about web users' habits.
Log
files are used for internal purposes only. By using log files, Asset ID can constantly
improve and
customize their Websites and applications.
The entries help
us gather, among other things:
Internal marketing and demographic studies;
o A user's browser type and operating system;
o Information about a
user's session (such as the URL, the date and time our Website was visited and
which pages and for how long were viewed on our Website); and
o Other
similar navigational or click-stream data.
SOCIAL NETWORK INFORMATION
Social network information is any information that you permit a third-party
social network to share
with third party application developers such as Asset
ID. Social network information includes
any information that is part of your
profile on a third-party social network. Such social network
may include,
but is not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, google+.
To find out how your information
from a social network may be obtained by us (or other third-party
application
developers), please go on the settings page of the relevant social network.
Furthermore,
you acknowledge that we may use your Personal Information to match
information
with a social network for advertising purposes.
Asset ID cannot make assurances
about the security of information that you share with third parties,
including
information you share with social media sites.
HOW MAY Asset ID USE LOCATION
DATA?
Asset ID is a global provider of fire safety and security services.
As such, the following are some
examples of when location data may be requested
to provide some of the services that Asset
ID has to offer:
To improve
building product capability, such as use your location data in one of our buildings
to
dynamically adjust ventilation, heating and cooling settings, to turn the
lights on or off, or to
unlock doors;
o If you are a visitor to or an
employee at our headquarters, use your location data to help you
locate the
nearest printer or conference room, in order to provide an enhanced experience
at
our headquarters; or o To determine which service technician is closest
to a service call. In addition, Asset ID may use
location data for location
and/or timekeeping purposes for employees or contractors.
In all of these
cases, Asset ID will ask permission to collect your location data and so the collection
of
this data will be transparent to you - you will have the opportunity to
decide whether or not to
provide your location data. If you choose not to
provide your location data, Asset ID may be
unable to provide the requested
service or complete the requested transaction.
