Iridium Privacy Policy

Effective and Last Updated: June 13, 2024

 

Our Commitment to Privacy

Iridium Satellite LLC (“Iridium,” “we,” or “us”) understands that privacy is important to you and values your trust. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we handle and protect your Personal Information, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, job title, job industry, company/organization name, and any other information you provide or any other non-public information that we associate with your contact information and that can identify you as an individual.

Specifically, this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and otherwise generally process Personal Information in connection with:

  • Your use of this website or any of the Iridium Apps (the “Site”). Most areas of the Site are intended for consumers. Two areas of the Site – Iridium for Partners and Iridium Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) – are areas restricted to use by our Service Providers and other third parties. This Privacy Policy describes Iridium’s collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information in both the consumer areas of the Site and within Iridium for Partners and Iridium GMDSS.
  • Your use of our voice and/or data services, including but not limited to GMDSS services, Iridium Certus®, and Iridium CloudConnect (the “Services”). Iridium operates under a wholesale model, meaning that customers subscribe to our Services through one of our service providers or value-added resellers (“Iridium Service Providers”). Iridium Service Providers are under contract with Iridium to provide our Services. Typically, Iridium’s Service Providers directly collect and process your Personal Information and are responsible for how they collect and use your Personal Information. Additional information on their processing of your Personal Information may be available directly from your Iridium Service Provider. This Policy outlines how Iridium collects and uses your Personal Information, distinct from our Iridium Service Providers.
  • Your other interactions with Iridium, including to the extent you interact with Iridium outside of our Site or Services, for example, at events or when you visit our physical offices or facilities.

 

This Notice generally applies to (1) users of the Site; (2) customers who subscribe to our Services who are anywhere in the world, except in the European Economic Area (“EEA”); and (3) others who may interact with Iridium.

  • If you are a customer who subscribes to our Services and are from the EEA or the UK, there is a specific section of this Notice that applies to you.
  • If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, there are specific sections of this Notice that apply only to you.

 

Your use of the Site or Services indicates your acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy. Notices that supplement this Privacy Policy prevail in cases of conflict with this Privacy Policy.

THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FROM THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER LOCATIONS. IF YOU ARE A USER ACCESSING THE SITE OR SERVICES, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THROUGH YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, WHICH ARE GOVERNED BY UNITED STATES LAW AND THE APPLICABLE LAW OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, THIS PRIVACY POLICY, AND OUR TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU ARE TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER LOCATIONS, AND YOU CONSENT TO THAT TRANSFER. ADDITIONALLY, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED IN COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE DIFFERENT OR LESS STRINGENT THAN IN YOUR HOME JURISDICTION.

The Ways We Use Personal Information

We use the Personal Information that we collect for a variety of business purposes when it is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose for which the Personal Information was collected or processed or compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected, or when there is a legitimate interest, to the extent it does not infringe on any data subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we use Personal Information:

  • For testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve our Site and Services; or

Iridium has and relies on legitimate business interests to process Personal Information, such as emergency contact information, in order to provide and improve the Services and network operations. In addition, Iridium may process Personal Information as necessary for protecting the vital interests of the customer or another natural person, performing a task carried out in the public interest, and/or complying with legal obligations.

Pursuant to valid consent provided by you, as applicable, we may communicate with you to provide information that may be useful or interesting to you. Such information may include newsletters/press releases and marketing communications, including contest entries and surveys. You can opt out of receiving newsletters/press releases from Iridium by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email.

We may also use your Personal Information to create de-identified information by removing information that makes the information personally identifiable to you (such as your name or email address). We may use these records, and other anonymous information, to analyze usage patterns in order to enhance the Site and Services.

If you have registered at Iridium.com, you may update your Personal Information by emailing us at dataprivacyadministration@iridium.com from your email address on record. If you have access to Iridium for Partners or Iridium GMDSS, you may update your Personal Information by editing your profile. If you send your request via email, please include “[Country] – Privacy Policy Personal Information Update Request” in the subject line.

Therefore, if you delete such necessary information, we may not be able to provide you certain communications or services.

 

Security of Personal Information

We have implemented appropriate measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable legislation. However, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure and, despite our measures designed to secure your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us through our Site and are not liable for breaches of security or integrity, third-party interception in transit, or any damage caused to you or your company, your computer(s), or other property by accessing or using our Site or Services.

 

Third Party Practices

The Site or Services may contain links to other websites, including those of our partners. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the online content of such third parties. The privacy policy of a partner listed on our Site may differ from ours. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of each third-party website you visit before sharing your information with that third party.

 

Do Not Track

Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature, which permits you to inform websites you visit that you do not want them to track your online activity. These features are not uniform across browsers. Iridium’s Site is not currently able to respond to “Do Not Track” requests.

 

Retention of Personal Information

Unless otherwise required by law, it is our policy to not retain personal information or sensitive personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The criteria we use to determine the specific retention period include: the type of data; whether you have provided your consent and have not withdrawn it; whether there are other legal grounds for the continued processing; whether you have objected to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing; and whether retention or deletion is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

 

Your Representations

With regard to any Personal Information that you provide Iridium, regardless of whether that Personal Information relates to you or a third party, you hereby represent that (i) such Personal Information is accurate and complete, (ii) you have the lawful basis to provide Iridium with such Personal Information, and (iii) you have provided this Privacy Notice to, and received consent from, any third party whose Personal Information you have provided Iridium.

You acknowledge and agree that Iridium shall not be held liable for any consequence directly resulting from these circumstances. Except for your representations set forth herein, this Privacy Policy does not create any other contractual rights or obligations.

Where We Process Your Personal Data

Iridium provides its Services from the United States and other locations. By using Iridium’s Services you are transferring your Personal Information for processing to the United States of America, a country not designated by the European Commission to offer adequate protection of personal data. Where your Personal Information is being transferred pursuant to a contract, we implement an approved data transfer mechanism, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, which provide additional safeguards for Personal Information. Iridium also uses appropriate security measures consistent with GDPR requirements.
