1. Introduction
This Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose personal data when you use the following:
Websites
Any website that Geotab operates and which displays or links to this Policy (“website(s)”), including www.geotab.com.
MyGeotab
MyGeotab, a web-based fleet management software platform that is available to Geotab customers after they have accepted the Geotab End User Agreement (a "Customer"). This software platform, together with a telematics device (the “Geotab Solution”) installed in a Customer vehicle, enables Customers to manage all fleet vehicle and driver information in one place and use it to make more informed decisions regarding their fleet.
MyAdmin
MyAdmin, the web-based reseller management software tool used to support resellers as part of the Geotab Solution. Resellers must enter into a reseller agreement with Geotab to have access to MyAdmin and resell the Geotab Solution. MyAdmin allows resellers to place orders, organize devices by Customer, administer rate plans, open and update support tickets, provide training material and resources, handle return merchandise authorizations, and provide additional support to Customers.
Public Works
Public Works is an add-in software platform to the MyGeotab product and the Geotab Solution. This is a web-based fleet management add-in software platform that is available to Geotab customers after they have accepted the Public Works Terms of Use. The Public Works add-in software platform, together with the public works hardware and accessories (the “Public Works Solution”) installed in a Customer vehicle, enables Customers to manage all fleet vehicle and driver information in one place and use it to make more informed decisions regarding their fleet. The Public Works Solution is integrated with the Geotab Solution but is a separate solution with its own architecture.
Geotab Marketplace
Geotab Marketplace, which provides access to customized applications and solutions such as in-vehicle cameras, real time temperature tracking, tire pressure monitoring and other add-ons through mobile apps, third party integrations, business services, and other products. If you acquire, subscribe to, or download an application advertised on Geotab Marketplace, please refer to the privacy policy or statement associated with that particular application.

GPS coordinates can be provided to a third party service provider to obtain mapping information without identifying a particular vehicle, Customer, or driver.
