2. OUR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

At Willamette Falls Media Center, we use mobile network experience measurements to publish independent reports and insights on the real-world mobile network experience of everyday users worldwide. We obtain the relevant data by collecting measurements relating to signal reception and quality from users of our Mobile Applications. Where you agree to give us access to your data, we collect data from your mobile device both when you are using our app and when it is running in the background.

HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Network experience data. If you are a user of one of our Mobile Applications, when allowed access to your data, we collect data from your mobile device both when you are using our app and when it is closed.

We take measurements from your device from time to time including location data (which include GPS coordinates or similar information regarding the location of your device), network type, network operator, cellular and Wifi signal strength and quality, and the identifiers of connected cell towers and Wifi routers (including both BSSID and SSID). We measure the performance of the data connection including the speed, responsiveness and reliability along with the total amount of data transferred. We do not monitor the content of your data usage, collect personal demographic data on users such as the name, age, gender, telephone number or any other demographic data. We also do not collect any information about the use of your device such as apps used, or the content accessed. The goal of collecting the above device data is to measure the experience you have of wireless networks.

We collect information from environmental sensors on your device (depending on which ones are integrated in your device), this allows us to measure things such as the device acceleration, orientation and the external atmospheric pressure and light intensity. We also measure some internal device conditions – such as battery temperature and voltage. The goal of collecting this data is to understand how instantaneous device conditions affect experience of wireless networks.

To better understand differences between devices, we collect data on your device hardware such as the model, manufacturer, and manufacturers and models of sub-components (such as the cellular radio) and the capabilities of these components (for example the number of cores on the CPU). Similarly, to understand differences caused by software, we collect information on the mobile platform version used and whether custom ROMs or Android skins are installed, as well as the operating system. The goal of collecting this data is to understand how device properties affect experience of wireless networks.

When you first use our Mobile Applications an identification code (“Resettable ID”) is generated by our software and allocated to your mobile device and used to identify your device whenever we take measurements. To further help us manage the data, we also collect related IP addresses. These fields are needed for statistical purposes, for example to understand how much data is contributed by each device.

Analytics. We collect, measure and analyze traffic and usage trends relating to users’ use of our Mobile Applications, and we use third-party analytics tools to help us do so. This allows us to understand, among other things, how users use our Mobile Applications, and ways to improve them. These third-party analytics tools use cookies and persistent device identifiers to collect and store information including, but not limited to, time of visit, pages visited, time spent on each page, unique device ID and type of operating system used.

Use of information with Your Consent. We may use your personal data for any other purpose for which you specifically provide us with your consent.

We prevent user identification; we do not collect name, email address, phone number, social media ID, contact list, or anything else which directly identifies an individual or their device.

THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The purposes for which we collect and store your personal data are the following:

We do not use the measurements we take from mobile devices for any individualized user identification or individualized user tracking. Measurements that we take from the mobile devices of individual network users allow us to create a detailed picture of the service availability, quality and performance of numerous communication networks across the world and over time. For example, we use data to improve wireless networks, research market performance, identify aggregate trends in device and network utilization patterns, understand the network-based drivers of subscriber churn and acquisition, and design effective network performance communication campaigns. Furthermore, we use data for the purpose of providing aggregated telecommunications network flow share, market share and other market analysis, using proprietary algorithms generating observations of consumer switching, activations and deactivations across the telecom infrastructure. We publish some of the statistical data that we generate and we provide it to our customers (such as network operators) to help them understand, communicate and optimize their own network’s service coverage, performance and signal quality (and those of their competitors). We also create de-identified and aggregated information, location measurements information, information about the computer or device from which individuals access our Willamette Falls Media Center Services or other analyses we create. Although the end-product we produce is made up of aggregated anonymized data, the underlying ‘raw data’ which contains personal data of individual users is important for us for generating statistical data, validating the results, quality control and further analysis. Non-personal raw data, including depersonalised location information, may be shared with customers however no personal data is provided to customers.

We use data to test, monitor, improve and upgrade our Mobile Applications, to meet our legal obligations and the regulatory requirements to which we may be subject, for loss prevention purposes and to protect and enforce our rights and meet our obligations to third parties, and for our internal business purposes, such as compiling and analyzing usage information for general operational, statistical and business purposes.

 Our customers and partners cannot use our data to identify the mobile applications or publishers that our data has been received from. We collect data from hundreds of different mobile applications, and our reports, data, and documentation do not reveal which mobile applications the source data was collected from. We do not publicly disclose our application partners without their permission.

Additionally, before we can fulfill your request to delete your personal information noted above, we must verify your identity. We will require you to provide us with your app installation ID and any other information reasonably necessary in order to verify your identity. We will match this information to the personal information we maintain.

We may not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your rights under the CCPA.

To the extent that anything in this Section 11 conflicts with this Privacy Policy Statement, this Section 11 shall govern.

The categories of California consumers’ personal data we may have collected in the past 12 months are listed above in Sections – HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA. Within the past 12 months we may have sold or shared the following categories of personal information: (1) Location, (2) Identifiers, and (3) Internet or other electronic network activity information, all of which we have collected from your mobile device. We may collect the categories we’ve previously identified (which include GPS coordinates or similar information regarding the location of your device), network type, network operator, cellular and Wifi signal strength and quality, and the identifiers of connected cell towers and Wifi routers (including both BSSID and SSID). We also measure how data is flowing, both passively (by monitoring how fast it moves through other apps), and actively (by running a test that downloads or uploads data within our Mobile Applications). We do not monitor the content of your data usage. The goal of collecting the above data is to measure the experience you have of wireless networks. We also collect information from environmental sensors on your device (depending on which ones are integrated in your device), this allows us to measure things such as the device acceleration, orientation and the external atmospheric pressure and light intensity. We also measure some internal device conditions – such as battery temperature and voltage. The goal of collecting this data is to understand how instantaneous device conditions affect experience of mobile networks.

When you first use the Mobile Applications, a random identification code, device ID, is generated by our software and allocated to your mobile device and used to identify your device whenever we take measurements. To further help us manage the data, we also collect related IP addresses. These fields are needed for statistical purposes, for example to understand how much data is contributed by each device.

We use this data for the purposes listed above in the Sections – THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA. Measurements that we take from the mobile devices of individual network users allow us to create a detailed picture of the service availability, quality and performance of numerous communication networks across the world and over time.

We may have shared or sold certain categories of personal data listed in the Sections - HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA to the third parties listed in the Sections - HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION for a business purpose and in order to provide the Willamette Falls Media Center Services in the past 12 months. Within the past 12 months we may have sold or shared the following categories of personal information: (1) Location, (2) Identifiers, and (3) Internet or other electronic network activity information, all of which we have collected from your mobile device. We may have shared or sold the following categories of personal data with the following third parties:

(a)   Joint and Independent Controllers. In the past, we shared some of the raw measurements that we collected from users’ mobile devices with some of our customers such as network operators under the terms of data license agreements and data sharing agreements. Some of the data we shared in the past with our customers may have contained personal data such as datasets containing location data which in some cases could have been linked to individual users. Our customers are permitted to use the data for the purpose of analyzing it and generating aggregated data relating to the performance of their networks or telecommunications equipment (and competing networks or equipment) and to use aggregated data in their sales activities. Our customers who received such datasets are not permitted to use your personal data to communicate with you or to influence you or to profile or track individual users. They are required to keep your personal data confidential and to use appropriate means to protect it. Our customers were given access to data such as location data of users to enable them to analyze the data and create statistical information based on the aggregation of data from numerous users. Our customers that received such data from us are not permitted to disclose any datasets that contain personal data relating to specific individuals to their own customers or any third parties.

(b)   Service Providers. We may share datasets containing your personal data with third-party service providers such as cloud service providers or third-party analytical services providers that perform services on our behalf in connection with our Services. Where your information is shared with such third parties, we ensure that the third-party service provider will deal with your information only on our behalf and on our written instructions and solely for our benefit (and not for its own benefit).

(c)    Business Change. If we become involved in a merger, consolidation, acquisition, sale of assets, joint venture, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other transaction, or if the ownership of all or substantially all of our business otherwise changes, we may share or transfer databases containing personal data of users to successor party or parties in connection with such transaction or change in ownership or legal structure.
