Scope Technologies US Inc. (“Scope AR”) Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 17, 2018

The Scope AR Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Scope AR’s apps and websites. Scope Technologies US Inc. is a United States company, and the laws of California and the laws of the United States apply.

Please note that in order to use our apps and websites, you authorize Scope AR to transfer your personal information across national borders to Canada, where Scope AR also operates. We will only transfer your personal information to these countries where permitted to do so by law and we will take steps intended to ensure that your personal information continues to receive appropriate protections.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This privacy policy describes the privacy practices of Scope AR’s websites, as well as our desktop apps and mobile apps that include a link to this policy (in this policy, we refer to our desktop apps and mobile apps together as “apps”). Note that “websites” include web-based services such as the Remote AR and WorkLink CMS. This privacy policy also applies to Scope AR’s marketing and advertising practices. Please also see any additional Terms of Use or Product License Agreements that may apply to the app or website you are using. This policy does not cover the processing of personal information where we are acting as a data processor for one of our customers; in that case our customer will be the data controller.

What information does Scope AR collect about me?

Scope AR ID, registration, and customer support

When you register to use a Scope AR app or website, create a Scope AR user ID, or contact us for support or other offerings, Scope AR collects information that identifies you. This includes information such as your name, company name, and email address. We may also sometimes collect other information that does not identify you, such as which types of apps you’re interested in. Some of this information is required and other information is optional. To help keep our databases current and to provide you the most relevant content and experiences, we may combine information provided by you with information from other sources, in accordance with applicable law. For example, from these sources, we may learn about the size, industry, and other information about the company you work for.

Scope AR apps and websites

We collect information about how you use our apps and websites. We may collect information sent by your browser or device to our servers whenever you visit a Scope AR website or use a Scope AR app. For example, your browser or device may tell us your IP address (which may tell us generally where you are located) and the type of browser and device you used. When you visit a Scope AR website, your browser may also tell us information such as the page that led you to our website and, if applicable, the search terms you typed into a search engine that led you to our website. Scope AR may collect information about how you use our websites and apps by using cookies and similar technologies, and our servers may collect similar information when you are logged in to the app or website. Depending on the app or website, this information may be anonymous (for example, see the ScopeAR.com) or it may be associated with you (for example, the Remote AR CMS).If you use the service to make a recording, that recording may include personal information such as images of you. Also, we use automated systems to analyze your content using techniques such as machine learning in order to improve our apps and websites. This analysis may occur as the content is sent or received using an online feature of a Scope AR app or website, or when the content is stored on Scope AR servers. During app use, the CMS gathers information such as physical location, screenshots, videos, notes, checklists, annotations, call data, and crash reports.

Scope AR app activation and automatic updates

When you activate your Scope AR app or when you install updates to the app, we collect certain information about your device (including your IP address), the Scope AR app, and your product serial number (learn more). Some of our apps include features that connect to our servers and offer you the ability to install updates to the app. We may keep track of information such as whether the update was successful or not. We may use the information collected through activation or app updates to validate your copy of the app and confirm that it is genuine and properly licensed.

Scope AR emails

Emails we send you may include a technology (called a web beacon) that tells Scope AR whether you have received or opened the email, or clicked a link in the email. If you do not want us to collect this information from Scope AR marketing emails, you can opt out of receiving Scope AR marketing emails.

Buttons, tools, and content from other companies

Scope AR apps and websites may include buttons, tools, or content that link to other companies’ services (for example, a Facebook “Like” button). We may collect information about your use of these features. In addition, when you see or interact with these buttons, tools, or content, or view a Scope AR web page or app containing them, some information from your browser may automatically be sent to the other company. Please read that company’s privacy policy for more information.

Scope AR social networking pages and social sign-on services

Scope AR has its own pages on many social networking sites (for example, the Scope AR® team’s Facebook page). We may collect information when you interact with our social networking pages.

Is my personal information displayed anywhere on Scope AR’s websites or applications?

There are several places within Scope AR’s websites and apps that allow you to submit content for others to see. Sometimes you can limit who can see what you share, but there are some places where what you share can be seen by the general public or other users of the app or website.

Please be careful when you share your personal information. Do not share anything you wouldn’t want publicly known unless you are sure you are posting it within an app or website that allows you to control who sees what you post.

To remove content you have shared on our websites and apps, please use the same app or website feature you used to share the content. If another user invites you to participate in shared viewing, editing, or commenting of content, you may be able to delete your contributions, but usually the user who invited you has full control.
