With navigation you are able to find the optimal route to your destination, even inside buildings. You can relive and share your location experiences with your friends on different Social Networking Services (“SNS”).</p> <p>We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of third party services, when you interact with them. HERE is not in control or responsible for the contents and features of those services.</p> <p>Please understand that the features of the Service may depend on how you access the Service. Different device models and software versions of the Service may offer different features.</p> <p> <strong>What information do we collect?</strong> </p> <p>We collect the following categories of information:</p> <p> <strong>Registration and contact details</strong> </p> <p>Some features may require the use of HERE account, for example when you want to synchronise your collections. You may continue to use the other features of the Service without signing in.</p> <p>When you are logged in with your HERE account, we will try to automatically synchronise your recent searches and your collections in association with your HERE account.</p> <p> <strong>Location data and place information</strong> </p> <p>Our Service makes use of information about your actual location (“Location Data”) and information about places (“Place Information”). Location Data reveals where you currently are or where you have been. Location Data is based on available positioning methods, such as Assisted GPS. In many device models the user interface of the Service identifies the use of positioning with an icon. Place Information is general information pertaining to particular geographical location (e.g. city or a location of a restaurant) that you may have provided to us, for example your collections.</p> <p>Unless otherwise stated, we use random identifiers in connection with your Location Data that do not identify you personally.</p> <p>When you start to use the Service, the applicable Service activates your selected positioning methods to retrieve your current location.</p> <p>The Service may send your Location Data to HERE when you use location enabled features of the Service online, such as ask information about nearby services or offerings, use search features, as well as when the Service asks for new maps for new areas you have navigated into. As further defined below, Location Data may be collected when you use the traffic feature for service improvement purposes without identifying you personally. Place Information may be sent to HERE for example when you synchronise your collections.</p> <p> <strong>Information about Service usage</strong> </p> <p>You may participate to improving our services.
