For example, we have a separate privacy policy that applies to Garmin Connect and its compatible wearables and other devices. Click here to review our other privacy policies..</p> <p>“Personal data” is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.</p> <p>To jump to a specific section of this Privacy Policy, please click on a link below:</p> <ul> <li> Categories of Personal Data Processed by Garmin </li> <li> Categories of Recipients of Personal Data </li> <li> Transfers of Personal Data </li> <li> Cookies and Similar Technologies </li> <li> Application Analytics </li> <li> Children </li> <li> Privacy Policy Updates </li> <li> Retention of Personal Data </li> <li> Automated Decision-Making, Including Profiling </li> <li> Data Controller and Data Protection Officer </li> <li> Your Rights </li> </ul> Categories of Personal Data Processed by Garmin Personal data that is processed when you create a Garmin account: <p>When you create a Garmin account, we ask you to provide your email address, name, and password. You can choose to provide only your first name or a nickname instead of your full name if you wish.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSES AND LEGAL GROUNDS: <p>(a) Garmin processes your email address and password because you use your email address and password to sign in to your account. The legal ground for processing your email address and password for this purpose is Garmin’s legitimate interest in protecting the security of your account.</p> <p>(b) Garmin also processes your email address for the purpose of sending you important information about your Garmin products, services, apps, or account, such as important safety information or material changes to this Privacy Policy. The name you provide is associated with your account profile and is displayed when you submit comments or other material on a Garmin website or app or engage with other Garmin users. The legal ground for processing your email address and name for these purposes is Garmin’s legitimate interest in providing you important safety or other information about your Garmin products, services, apps, or account or material changes to this Privacy Policy and in providing you an opportunity to engage with other Garmin users.</p> <p>(c) If you provide your opt-in consent to receiving marketing information from Garmin, Garmin will also process your email address for the purpose of sending you marketing information about Garmin products, services, and apps, as well as newsletters. The legal ground for processing your email address for this purpose is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your preferences in your Garmin account or through the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails. The marketing emails you receive from Garmin are based on the preferences you provide in your Garmin account, the locale indicated by your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the types of Garmin devices you have added to your Garmin account, and any subscriptions included in your Garmin account. The legal ground for processing this data for this purpose is Garmin’s legitimate interest in reducing the number of marketing emails sent to each particular customer by selecting which customers receive a particular marketing email rather than sending every marketing email to every customer who has consented to receiving marketing emails.</p> <p>(d) Garmin also processes your email address to associate it with your Garmin account when you interact with our customer support representatives. The legal ground for this processing is our legitimate interest in providing quality customer support.</p> <p>(e) Garmin also processes your email address to notify customers when they have violated our terms. The legal ground for this processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring a quality experience for all customers and ensuring adherence to our terms.</p> </blockquote> Personal data that is processed when you sync your Garmin device: <p>When you sync your Garmin device through Garmin Express, we log data about the transmission, such as the IP address used when syncing, the sync time and date, crash/diagnostic logs, geographic location of the device, information about your device, information about the network used to sync (e.g., Wi-Fi or cellular), and device battery level.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSE AND LEGAL GROUND: <p>We process this information to help identify and resolve errors or syncing issues.

We also may create event logs that are useful in diagnosing product or app performance-related issues and capture information relating to the support or service issue. To improve customer service, subject to applicable laws, we may also record and review conversations with customer support representatives and analyze any feedback provided to us through voluntary customer surveys. With your consent, our customer support representatives may sign in to your Garmin account, if appropriate, to help troubleshoot and resolve your issue.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSES AND LEGAL GROUNDS: <p>We use this information to provide you with customer and product support, to monitor the quality and types of customer and product support we provide to our customers, and to facilitate repairs, returns, or exchanges. The legal ground for processing this information for these purposes is Garmin’s legitimate interest in providing quality product support. The legal ground for signing in to your Garmin account, if appropriate, to help troubleshoot and resolve your issue is your consent, which you may withdraw.</p> </blockquote> Personal data that is processed when you use your Garmin auto navigation device or app: <p>If you use a Garmin auto navigation device or app and provide your consent, then Garmin will collect and upload from your device data such as location, speed, direction, and time and date of recording. If you provide your consent when asked, then Garmin may also share this aggregated data with third parties to enhance the quality of the traffic, parking, and other features enabled by content providers.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSE AND LEGAL GROUND: <p>This data is aggregated with data from other consenting users and is used to enhance the quality of our products, services, and apps and the traffic, parking, and other features enabled by Garmin or third parties.

These payment processors include Adyen, PayPal, Alipay (China only), WeChat Pay powered by tenpay (China only), UnionPay (China only), NewebPay, Klarna, and Veritrans. More information about Adyen can be found here. We also use Cybersource, a solution provided by Visa, in our fraud detection processes, and we use address verification services provided by third parties such as Google or CDYNE.</p> <p>In some regions, another third party, Narvar, provides shipment information to allow you to track items purchased from a Garmin website or purchased, repaired, or exchanged through customer support.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSES AND LEGAL GROUNDS: <p>We collect your name, mailing address, and telephone number so we can process your order and fulfill your purchase. The legal ground for processing your name, mailing address, and telephone number for these purposes is performance of a contract.

The legal ground for processing your information for generation of an invoice at your request is performance of a contract.</p> </blockquote> Personal data that is processed when you use location-based services on your Garmin device or app: <p>If you choose to use location-based services, such as weather, traffic information, fuel prices, movie times, and local event information, on your Garmin app or device, then the physical location of your device will be collected in order for Garmin or our providers to provide you with such location-based services.</p> <blockquote> PURPOSE AND LEGAL GROUND: <p>The purpose of processing the location of your device is to provide you the location-based services you wish to use. The legal ground for processing this data for this purpose is performance of a contract.</p> </blockquote> Categories of Recipients of Personal Data YOUR LIVETRACK INVITEES: <p>LiveTrack is a feature available on some Garmin devices that enables you to send a link to people of your choice that allows them to see the real-time location of your device. Because anyone with access to the link will be able to see the real-time location of your Garmin device, you should use caution in determining to whom you want to send the link and be sure that you trust them to not send the link to others whom you do not want to be able to view the location of your Garmin device.</p> OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS: <p>Garmin uses cloud services from third parties such as Adobe and SendGrid, a Twilio service, to assist in sending emails. Those services track the activities associated with these emails, such as whether they were opened, whether links in the emails were clicked on, and whether purchases were made following clicks on those links. Garmin uses this data to analyze the level of engagement with its emails. Garmin also uses third-party service providers to help us better understand usage of Garmin Express and Garmin websites and apps and for related purposes.</p> <p>Garmin uses third-party service providers to ship purchased products to customers.
