EVIR® Mobile Privacy Policy

Welcome to ZONAR’s EVIR® Mobile mobile application (“Mobile App” or “Service”). This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Zonar Systems, Inc. (“ZONAR”) uses and protects any personal information (i.e., information that can be used to identify you) that ZONAR collects about you when you set-up and use the Service. It also outlines how ZONAR uses the information it collects about you. By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy, and consent to ZONAR’s use of the information we collect through the Service.

Summary of ZONAR’s EVIR Mobile Service

The EVIR Mobile mobile application is used to create and display the contents of Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) inspections using a mobile device. The EVIR Mobile mobile application may be used to take equipment defect pictures as part of the inspection report. Inspection reports are sent to the EVIR Mobile web application, where defects on the inspected equipment, if reported, are marked as repaired. Any defects marked as repaired will be updated in the inspection reports stored on the EVIR Mobile mobile application.

In general, ZONAR does not provide products and services directly to individual consumers or households. ZONAR primarily provides products and services to school districts, transit authorities, and fleet operators in a business-to-business (B2B) context. The EVIR Mobile mobile application does require the collection and use certain information that may identify a vehicle, an operator, driver or owner, and the individual performing the inspection. These data elements are essential to enabling Zonar to perform the services it is contractually obligated to provide to its customer. ZONAR does not sell that data, and shares that data with third parties only to the extent necessary to provide such services.

Personal Information We Collect

In providing the Service, ZONAR may collect, process, transfer, or otherwise have access to various information and data, including your Personal Information. Personal Information refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person or household.

  • Geolocation information.

Security

We take your privacy seriously and use reasonable precautions to protect your personal information. For example, we encrypt certain communications using industry standards for encrypting such communications. However, we do not guarantee the security of your information.  There is always a risk that information we collect or that you provide may be compromised.  To mitigate this risk, you should (a) use secure usernames and passwords and carefully protect them from disclosure and (b) implement up-to-date security and virus protection on your device.  If you suspect that your device’s security or your information has been compromised, or your password accessed or used by an unauthorized third party, please contact us immediately to have your password changed. 

Third Party Websites

When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our Mobile App and go to another site and another entity may collect personal information from you. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on links to such outside websites.  If you decide to access any third party links appearing in the Mobile App, you do so at your own risk.

Changes to Personal Information

You may change any of the personal information you provide to us when you subscribe to the Service by editing your EVIR Mobile profile. You may request deletion of your personal information, but please note that we may be required to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements). When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives.

Policy for Children

For California Consumers

The following provisions apply to residents of the State of California:

  • Do Not Track. Section 22575 of the California Business & Professions Code requires website and online service operators to disclose whether they honor web browser “Do Not Track” settings. We support and honor “Do Not Track” web browser settings.  If you enable Do Not Track settings in the browser you are using, we will not collect, store, or use personal information about websites you visit using that browser other than the Website.  Other parties, however, may not honor Do Not Track signals.  These parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you visit the Website, for example by using cookies on the Website.  We have no access to or control over other parties’ personal information collection practices. You should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of any website you visit.  For more information about Do Not Track, please visit allaboutdnt.org.
  • CCPA. You may have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). However, in providing the Service, much of the information collected by ZONAR is done so while ZONAR is acting as a “Service Provider” (as that term is defined in the CCPA) to its customer (generally an entity that operates a fleet of vehicles and, typically, your employer or principal).  In this case, consistent with the CCPA, ZONAR may direct you its customer (i.e., the business that is in control of the information) in order to exercise your rights under the CCPA.
