1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies whenever you use our Services or visit our Site.
This Privacy Policy explains how Motive, Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") collects, shares, and uses the information that we collect about you when you use any of our Services (as defined in our Terms of Service) or visit our Site.
It applies only to our websites, services, products, and applications (as described in the definition of "Services" in our Terms of Service), and does not apply to any third-party websites, services, products, or applications – even if they are made available by us or accessible through our Services or our Site. Unless we define a term in this Privacy Policy, all capitalized words used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as they do in our Terms of Service.
This Privacy Policy applies to you whenever you use our Services or visit our Site. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, a "User" or "Users" means any Administrator, Customer, Driver, End User, or any other person or business that uses our Services or visits our Site.

We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies; unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and/or Site and close your browser.
Although most browsers are set by default to automatically accept cookies, you can adjust your browser settings to either stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting cookies. Please note, however, that if you don't accept cookies you may not be able to access and use certain features of the Services and the Site.
We may use the information derived from the cookies placed on your device for any of the following purposes:
Our Privacy Policy does not cover the placement or use of cookies and other tracking technologies by any third party. You should review the privacy policies and practices of third parties before using their products or services.

Some third-party service providers that we work with (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own cookies on your browser. For example, if we send you any offers for services or products provided by our partners or affiliates or you click a link to one of our partner's or affiliate's or another third party's websites or services, then such partner, affiliate, or other third party may also place cookies on your browser.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to or cover the placement or use of cookies by any of our partners, our affiliates, or other third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy policies and practices. You should carefully review the privacy policies and practices of such partners, affiliates, and third parties when using their products and services.

Web Beacons
Our Site and emails may contain web beacons in order to help us better manage content on our Site.
Our Site and some third-party sites and HTML-formatted emails use web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date of a page viewed, and a description of the page where the Web beacon is placed. You may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in the message you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a web beacon or other automatic data collection tools in the email message due to specific email software capabilities.
For more information about this, please refer to the information provided by your email software or service provider. If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from Motive, we may automatically collect personal information about you. For example, through web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these emails or newsletters, Motive can track whether you've opened those messages and whether you've clicked on links contained within those messages.
Information from Third Parties
We may also obtain personal information about you from third parties.
Third parties may provide us with PII they have collected about you from you or from further online and offline sources, such as marketing data from our partners and third-parties that is combined with information we already have about you, to provide you with more relevant communications and better tailored offers. We are not liable for any processing of your PII by such third parties prior to, during or after them providing it to us. We may combine such PII with the PII we already have about you to provide you with a better experience, evaluate your interest in our products or improve the quality of our products and services.
Information from Children
We do not collect information from children under 13 years old.
You must be 18 years or older to use our Services. Our Services are not directed to, nor intended for use by, children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently come into possession of PII relating to a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information from our files and systems as soon as possible.

When You Click Links to and Use Third-Party Sites & Services
We are not responsible for, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to or cover, the privacy policies and practices of third parties with whom you connect through our Services.
Motive links to and provides you with opportunities to connect with Customer- or third-party- provided services, products, websites, or applications, including applications we make available in the Motive App Marketplace (each a "Non-Motive Product"). If you choose to use any Non-Motive Product, any information that you provide on or to a Non-Motive Product is provided directly to the owner of the related website or service and is subject to that third party's privacy policy.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to Non-Motive Products and we are not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of those Non-Motive Products. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of Non-Motive Products that you access.
