u-blox privacy policy
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the collection and processing of your data by u-blox AG and its affiliated companies, including Thingstream Ltd. (together “u-blox”). When you use our website, receive and read our digital communication, or when you use our products or services, you are also entrusting us with some of your personal and non-personal information. We understand this is an important responsibility and thus we aim to protect your information and to give you control over it. u-blox’s privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is meant to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can change and delete your information.
u-blox will only collect some of your personal data (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address)where it is necessary for the ordinary course of our business, where you give us your consent or where the law requires us to do so. We do not have any use for and thus do not collect any data that is not directly related to our business.

- Financial information used on our website to make payments (billing address, credit/debit card number, expiration date, and other billing information necessary to process the transaction);
- Internet protocol (IP) address;
- Some behavioral data such as your website or social media use or via online tracking mechanisms (e.g. cookies).

How u‑blox transfers any personal data it collects
By consenting to u‑blox processing your personal data, you consent to its potential transfer and storage with other u‑blox affiliates and third party contractors such as distributors or service providers directly linked to u‑blox’s business and which may be located outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). u‑blox will not monetize your personal data by e.g. selling such data to data miners and therefore will not transfer your personal data to any unauthorized third party. In relation to any transfers of personal data, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with the applicable data privacy laws and regulations.
