Data Tracking and Use of Cookies

UMO®, our service providers, and other authorized companies we work with may deploy and use web browser cookies, mobile device cookies, pixel tags, email address (when provided during account registration or loyalty opt-in), IP address, phone number, and mobile advertisement ID (MAID), and other tracking technologies to track you when visiting the App or the Online Sites. Some of these tracking tools may detect the characteristics or settings of the specific device you use to access our services.

“Cookies” are small amounts of data a website can send to a visitor’s web browser. They are often stored on the device you are using to help track your areas of interest. Cookies may also enable us or our service providers and other authorized companies we work with to relate your use of our services over time to customize your experience. Most web browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to decline or delete cookies but doing so may degrade your experience with our Services.

Pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs or web beacons) are typically one-pixel, transparent images located on a webpage or in an email or other message or similar technologies may be used on our sites and in some of our digital communications (such as email or other marketing messages). They may also be used when you are served with advertisement or you otherwise interact with advertisements outside of our services. These are principally used to help recognize users, assess traffic patterns, and measure site or campaign engagement.

When you register to use our Services, we use the email address or phone number you provide to generate an account ID as a reference for our data tracking.

When you opt in to our Loyalty Program, we use the email address or phone number you provide to generate a loyalty account ID, which is tied to your email address and/or phone number as a reference for our data tracking.

Every time you land on our Mobile App or Online Sites, our system checks for the presence of an existing tracking cookie or ID. If one does not exist, you are tracked anonymously until you accept the cookie tracking for website visits or until you register to use our services. Once you opt into cookies tracking for website visits or register to use our services, the system will associate your past web and app engagement activities and, if applicable, travel history data (all as specified in Data Collection above) for the purpose of providing better services and loyalty reward offerings.

If you opt out of our cookie tracking on our Online Sites properties when you stay signed out or opt out of the Loyalty Program, all your Personal Information related to your Online Sites and/or Loyalty Program activities will be eradicated. However, for customer support, and legal compliance requirements, we may maintain records of your activity and transactional data related to your transit transaction history and Stars Loyalty Program (as set forth in Data Collection above).

If you have opted out of the Loyalty Program and later opt into the program again, you will be recognized as a new participant.

If you delete your web cookies, you will be considered a new, anonymous visitor and will be assigned a new cookie (unless you are using the Mobile App or stay signed in to your UMO account, in which case the Online Sites will still recognize you). If you stay signed out on the mobile App, the mobile App will still recognize you by referring to your account ID and phone number.

If you share a single device with another UMO user (such as a computer, tablet, or phone) to use our services, your activities will be associated with the same contact record unless you sign in with your own account. If two Users share a single account or use the same email address to log in to their account, your activities will also be associated to the same contact record.

Our system will also attribute activities to you if you click a link in a tracked email which directs to a page with our cookies installed.

If you do not wish for your Personal Information to be collected on the Online Sites or Mobile App, you may (i) stay signed out of the account on the Online Sites and Mobile App and clear your web browser’s cookies cache, (ii) clear your web browser’s cookies cache without signing in to your account, or (iii) use private mode on your web browser without signing in to your account.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We use standard security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we collect in an effort to protect the Personal Information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. We also require our Service Providers to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we share with them. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, while we strive to protect Personal Information, we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Services, and you do so at your own risk.

Processing in The United States.

Please be aware that your Personal Information may be transferred to and maintained on servers or databases located outside your state, province, or country. If you are located outside of the United States, please be advised that we may process and store all information in the United States. The laws in the United States may not be as protective of your privacy as those in your location. By using our Services, you agree that the collection, use, transfer and disclosure of your Personal Information and communications will be governed by the applicable laws in the United States.

Children’s Privacy Statement.

Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. For that reason, no part of our Online Services or Mobile App are targeted to attract anyone under the age of 13. Users from ages 13 to 15 must represent and warrant that they are using the Online Services or Mobile App under the supervision of a parent or guardian and we may ask your parent or guardian to provide prior written consent for you to use the Online Services or Mobile App. Transit Partners may have separate policies with respect to the use of their services by children and you should refer to their policies in that respect.

While we may collect Personal Information of children under the age of 13 who wish to use the UMO® Services, we do not solicit this Personal Information from the child directly – we will seek parental consent for any Personal Information provided for children under the age of 16. We also comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and if you believe we have Personal Information regarding a child under the age of 16 that you have not authorized, you may contact us at the contact information at the end of this Notice to request that we delete it.

For GDPR and UK GDPR purposes, the Privacy Notice is not directed to “children,” as defined per Member State implementation legislation. Where a prospective user is classified as a child, we will make reasonable efforts to verify that consent is given or authorized by the holder of parental responsibility over the child, where Personal Information of the child is to be processed.

California Residents.

California residents have additional rights as set forth in the Privacy Notice for California Residents appended hereto.

Your Nevada Privacy Rights

If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to request certain information from us regarding the collection and sale of your Personal Information (as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes 603A.320) during your visit to our Online Sites or Mobile App or when you otherwise interact with us online.

California / Delaware Do Not Track Disclosures

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track herehttps://allaboutdnt.com.

Links to Other Sites.

The Services may contain links to websites operated and maintained by third parties, including Transit Partners. We have no control over those third parties. Privacy policies on such linked websites may be different from our Privacy Policy. You access such linked websites at your own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any such linked website you visit to understand how they collect, store, and use your Personal Information.

Changes to The Privacy Policy

UMO® reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. In the event of any substantial change of this Policy, we will provide you with 7 days’ prior notice via any of the communications mean available to us, or by posting notice of the change on the Online Sites or the Mobile App. After this 7-day notice period, all changes to this Privacy Policy shall be deemed accepted and effective on both UMO® and you.

Privacy Contact

If you would like to ask questions or provide comments regarding this Privacy Policy you may do so by sending us an e-mail atumo.privacy@cubic.comor by writing to us at Cubic Corporation, Attn: Customer Service – Privacy, 9233 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, CA 92123.

Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
