We may also collect and process information about your actual location. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may or may not include Personal Data, but we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Data we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.
3. Information our Customers May Give Us About You

With both cookies and log files, the information that we collect, and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

How We Use Information We Collect
We use your Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or authorized by you, including:
We use the information we collect from our Sites to provide, maintain, and improve them, to develop new Services, and to protect our company and our customers.
We may use information collected from cookies and other technologies to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our Services. For example, by saving your language preferences, we’ll be able to have our Services appear in the language you prefer. We may use your personal information to see which web pages you visit at our Sites, and we may then develop statistics that help us understand how our visitors use our Sites and how to improve them. We may also use the information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those set out in this Privacy Policy.
Our Legal Basis for Collecting Personal Data
Whenever we collect Personal Data from you, we may do so on the following legal bases:
provided that, in each circumstance, we will weigh the necessity of our processing for the purpose against your privacy and confidentiality interests, including taking into account your reasonable expectations, the impact of processing, and any safeguards which are or could be put in place to protect your privacy. In all circumstances, we will limit such processing for our legitimate business interest to what is necessary for its purposes.
Information We Share
We do not share Personal Data collected through the Sites or Services with companies, organizations and individuals outside of Rave Mobile Safety unless one of the following circumstances applies:
4. In the event an emergency service provider uses the Services’ database query tools, and your information includes an address within the querying provider's jurisdiction, and a portion of your information matches the provider's query criteria, and if you have elected to participate in this portion of our Services, your information will be displayed in the search results presented to that provider.
It is our policy to only share Personal Data with contractors, service providers and other third parties who are bound by obligations to keep Personal Data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. Under certain circumstances, you may avoid having us share your information with our business partners and vendors by not granting us permission to share it. Not granting us permission to share your information with our business partners or vendors may limit your access to their services through the Sites. We do not share Personal Data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. For Legal Reasons. We may share Personal Data with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Rave Mobile Safety if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
We attempt to notify users about legal demands for their Personal Data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.
The specific circumstances under which we may share your Personal Data will vary based on the information you provide, the Services you elect to participate in, and how you use the Services.
Rave Mobile Safety is not responsible for the actions or inactions of any third party receiving your Personal Data as permitted herein. These third parties may have their own respective privacy policies governing their use, protection, and disclosure of your Personal Data.
Consequences of Your Failure to Provide Personal Data
Your provision of Personal Data is required in order to use certain parts of our Sites and Services. If you fail to provide such Personal Data, you may not be able to access and use our Services on our Sites or parts of our Services available via the Sites.
Our Retention of Your Personal Data
We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose for collection. We keep your Personal Data for no longer than reasonably necessary for your use of our products and Services and for a reasonable period of time afterward to conform to legal and business requirements.
If your account is removed from our Sites and Services, we generally delete account information within thirty (30) days of account removal, except that we retain your Personal Data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to address our legitimate business interests, including to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us.
Your Choices regarding Accessing, Updating or Deleting Your Personal Data
Whenever you use our Services, we aim to provide you with choices about how we use your Personal Data. We also will provide you with access to your Personal Data. If that information is wrong, we will give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. Subject to applicable law, you may obtain a copy of personal information we maintain about you or you may update or correct inaccuracies in that information through your Profile or Account, or by contacting us
at privacy@ravemobilesafety.com. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information. In addition, if you believe that personal information, we maintain about you is inaccurate, subject to applicable law you may have the right to request that we correct or amend the information by contacting us as indicated in the How to Contact Us section below.

We may contact you to request that you update your Personal Data on a regular basis to ensure its integrity for the purposes of ongoing data management.
European Users’ Rights with Respect to Personal Data
Some data protection laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), provide you with certain rights in connection with Personal Data you have shared with us. If you are resident in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights, all of which we provide you, as described in this Privacy Policy:
Our Opt-in/Opt-out Policy
By providing an email address or other contact information on the Rave Mobile Safety Sites or it is provided with your consent by your school or employer, you agree that we may contact you in the event of a change in this Privacy Policy, to provide you with any Services-related notices, or to provide you with information about our events, invitations, or related educational information.
We currently provide the following opt-out opportunities:
Third Party Links
The Sites may contain links to webpages operated by parties other than Rave Mobile Safety. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to the user to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the user selects or software the user downloads from such websites is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the user will be subject to upon linking to the third party's website. Rave Mobile Safety strongly recommends that each user review the third party's terms and policies.
International Transfer
We are committed to complying with applicable laws, regulations and mandatory government standards regarding the protection of Personal Data.
Since we are a global organization, Personal Data and any additional information submitted may be used globally in connection with employment, business processes within Rave Mobile Safety, or communicating with our clients. Therefore, Personal Data may be transferred to other Rave Mobile Safety entities worldwide, where it will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and laws that are applicable in each country. Countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country.
If we transfer your Personal Data out of your jurisdiction, we will implement suitable safeguards and rely on legally provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders to ensure that your Personal Data is protected.
How We Protect Personal Data
Rave Mobile Safety maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the user's Personal Data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and transport layer security (TLS) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Data. However, Rave Mobile Safety cannot guarantee the security of user account or other personal information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, could compromise the security of user information at any time.
Children
In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we do not market to or knowingly collect any information about children under the age of 13 unless and until a relevant institution has provided consent and authorization for a child under the age of 13 to use the Sites or Services and for us to collect information from such child. If you are a minor less than 13 years old, please do not register for Services or provide any personal information about you to us. If you are less than 16 years old, do not provide any personal health information about yourself to us. If you believe that we might have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 13 or personal health information from a child under age 16 without proper consent, please contact us at privacy@ravemobilesafety.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the personal information of a child under 13, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, without proper consent, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
Direct Marketing and “Do Not Track” Signals
Rave Mobile Safety does not track its customers over time or across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may include controls to block and delete cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, to allow you to opt out of data collection through those technologies.
Rights of California Residents
California residents are entitled under the California Consumer Privacy Act to contact us for various purposes, including to request information about whether we have disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. California residents have the right to be informed as to what personal information about them we may have, how we collected and may use that information and how to have it corrected or deleted and may request further information about our compliance with this law by contacting us by one of the means listed in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
