This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to personal information that is collected, maintained, used, or otherwise processed by Fuse Autotech LLC (the “Company”, “we”, “us,” or “our”) through our website (the “Site”) and related mobile applications/apps made available by us (each an “App” and collectively the “Apps”; the Site and the Apps are collectively referred to as the “Platform”) when you access the Platform and the services provided through the Platform.
This Policy applies only to information we collect on or through the Platform. This Policy does not apply to information that we collect offline or that you provide to, or is collected by, any third party, which may have its own privacy policies and which we encourage you to read before providing your information on or through them (see “Third-Party Information Collection” below).
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. In using the Platform, you agree to be bound by this Policy, and you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and other administrative issues relating to your use of the Platform.
If you do not accept the terms of this Policy, you may not access or use the Platform and you should
discontinue your use of it.
This Policy may change from time to time (see “Updates to Our Privacy Policy” below). Your continued use of the Platform after we revise this Policy means you accept those changes, so please check this Policy periodically for updates.
A. The Information We Collect and How We Collect It
If you provide information for publication or display (“Posted”) on public areas of the Platform or websites you access through the Platform (collectively “User Contributions”), then your User
Contributions are Posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of third parties with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions.
Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.
Information that we collect automatically. Like many websites, the Platform commonly uses information-gathering tools, such as cookies and web beacons, to collect information as you navigate. The Platform automatically collects certain information, such as internet protocol (IP address), browser type, operating system, and other usage information, and stores that information in log files.
The technologies we use for automatic information collection may include:

Third-Party Information Collection
Generally. When you use the Platform or its content, certain third parties may use automatic
information collection technologies to collect information about you or your device.
These third parties may include:
These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you
use the Platform. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and other online services websites. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.
We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you
have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the
responsible provider directly.
Other Sites.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to/from the
Platform nor the information contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided
solely as a way for the user to obtain information that may be useful to them. The third party’s
privacy policy and/or that of its service provider will govern the use of this information, and we
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such companies. To better protect your privacy,
we encourage you to read these businesses’ privacy policies to learn about how they treat your
information.
Social Media Sites.
You may share information from the Platform with people associated with your social media account and your social media account provider. By sharing this information, you authorize us to share information with your social media account provider, and you understand that the use of the information we share will be governed by the social media provider’s privacy policy. Please note that any information you post within these public forums or social media pages may become public and may be read, collected, and used by anyone. If
you don’t want people to know your email address, for example, don’t include it in any message
you post publicly. Please exercise caution when deciding whether to disclose your personal
information in public posting areas. We are not responsible for the use by others of the
information that you disclose in public posting areas.
Our Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect limited information about your use of the Platform to help us improve how the Platform works. Google Analytics collects certain information, such as how often you use the Platform. We use the information received from Google Analytics to improve the Platform. For more information about Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data, please visit:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-US.
Instructions on opting out of Google
Analytics using a specific plug-in are available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Note that this opt-out is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use.
Security Measures
We have taken certain precautions that are intended to protect the users of the Platform’s information.
However, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password and/or user name for access to certain parts of our Platform, you are responsible for keeping such password and user name confidential. We ask you not to share your password or user name with anyone. Because the information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users of the Platform, we urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of
the Platform, such as message boards.
Notwithstanding our efforts, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be
guaranteed to be perfectly secure. Because of this, while we try to protect your personal information,
we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk. You are responsible for keeping the information you provide confidential.
We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Policy or our Terms of Service.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Platform and visiting your account profile page. You may also send us an email at privacy@fuseautotech.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
If you delete your User Contributions from the Platform, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or might have been copied or stored by other users of the Platform.
California residents may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see “Your
California Privacy Rights” below for more information.
Do Not Track
The Platform does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms.
Retention of Your Information
Our policy is to retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the reason for which the personal information was collected and as necessary to process such personal information. In addition to the above, we will retain your personal information for the purpose of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which we are subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we collected and processed your personal information and whether we can reasonably achieve those purposes through other means, as well as any applicable legal and
professional requirements.

The Platform is intended strictly for adult users. By agreeing to this policy through use of the site, the
user is verifying that they are an adult aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal
information from children under the age of 18. If we discover or are made aware that we have received personal information from an individual who indicates that he or she is, or whom we otherwise have reason to believe is, under the age of 18, we will delete such information from our systems. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 18 and believe that your child has disclosed personal information to us we welcome you contacting us as provided below so that we can address such matter.
From time to time, there may be instances when we collect information through the Platform about
children under the age of 18 but we will only do this when such information is provided to us by that child’s parent or legal guardian. In all cases where we’ve collected information about a child under the age of 18, the parent or legal guardian may contact us via email or regular mail using the contact information noted below under “Contact Us”, to review and request deletion of such child personals information as well as to prohibit the further use of such information by us.
California Minors. California residents under 18 years of age may have additional rights regarding the collection and sale of their personal information. Please see “Your California Privacy Rights” below for more information.
Linking Policy
We permit text links to the Platform. However, linking should not: suggest or falsely claim endorsement or affiliation with us; be used for commercial or fundraising purposes; or conceal the fact that the reader has left the linking site. We reserve the right to withdraw permission for any link at any time. Please contact us with any related questions by using one of the means noted below under “Contact Us”.
Updates to Our Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will notify you by posting the new Privacy Policy on
this page, and we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy. We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Services, in the event of a material change.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we
collected for materially different, unrelated or incompatible purposes without providing you with notice.
Sharing Personal Information - California Consumers
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose
personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and
requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose
except performing the contract.
Sales of Personal Information – California Consumers
The Company does not sell personal information to third parties.
Exercising Your CPL Rights and Choices – California Consumers
The sections below describe how you may exercise your rights under the CPL.
Exercising Your CPL Rights and Choices – Access to Specific Information and Data Portability
Rights—California Consumers.
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of
your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see
“Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights – California Consumers” below), we will
disclose to you:
Exercising Your CPL Rights and Choices – Deletion and Correction Request Rights – California
Consumers.
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from
you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer
request (see “Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights – California
Consumers” below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal
information from our (and service provider) records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service
provider(s) to:
In addition, if you provide us with a verifiable consumer request to correct inaccurate personal
information that we maintain about you, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such
information in accordance with your instructions.
Exercising Your CPL Rights and Choices – Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction
Rights – California Consumers.
To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, you should
submit a verifiable consumer request to us by one of the following methods:
• Emailing us at privacy@fuseautotech.com
• By postal mail at 4401 American Boulevard West, Bloomington, MN55437.
• Accessing your online account that you maintain with us
• By calling us at 844-289-3873.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request
related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of a
minor child for whom you are a parent or legal guardian.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we will consider requests made through a password-protected online account that you maintain with us to be sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that online account, provided such online account functionality is then made available by us on the Platform. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the
requestor identity or authority to make the request.
Exercising Your CPL Rights and Choices – Response Timing and Format – California Consumers
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an online account with us, we may deliver our written response to that online account, provided that such online account functionality is then made available by us on the Platform. If you do
not have an online account with us, or such functionality is not available for your online account we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. If we’re unable to comply with your request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with the request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination – Notice to California Consumers.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CPL that can result in different
prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CPL-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to
your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material
aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may
revoke at any time.
Retention of Personal Information – Notice to California Consumers.
Our policy is to retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the reason for which the personal information was collected and as necessary to process such personal information. In addition to the above, we will retain your personal information for the purposes of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which we are subject. To determine the
appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we collected and processed your personal information and whether we can reasonably achieve those purposes through other means, as well as any applicable legal and professional requirements.
Other California Privacy-Related Disclosures
Sharing Personal Information for Direct Marketing Purposes. Before sharing personal information of
California consumers with third parties for direct marketing purposes we will obtain opt-in consent from
the applicable California consumers or provide such California consumers with a cost-free method to opt

California Do-Not-Track Disclosure.
At this time, the Platform is not set up to honor web browser do-not-
track settings. Do-not-track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a
user activates the do-not-track settings in browsers that offer this setting, the browser sends a message

track matters, please visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the
personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding
calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal
information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared
information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like
to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us at: (i) by email (writing “Privacy

C. Your EU Privacy Rights
Persons who are residents of the member countries of the European Union (“EU”) or other data subjects
covered by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), have certain
additional privacy rights under applicable law. The following provisions of this Policy provide an
overview of these additional rights.
Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information of European Union Data Subjects
When processing your personal information, the Company may rely on one or more of the following
legal bases (or other available legal grounds), depending on the circumstances:
Disclosures to Third Parties of European Data Subject Personal Information.
Your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties except for where it is necessary for
fulfillment of the Company’s obligations to you or where the Company is obliged or permitted to do so
by law (including, without limitation, through the terms of any agreement the Company may have with
you), or where the Company makes disclosures that are otherwise consistent with the uses described in
this Policy.
The Company may also disclose any information (including personal information) relating to you to law enforcement authorities or any regulatory or government authority in response to any request, including requests in connection with the investigation of any suspected illegal activities.
The Company reserves the right to transfer any personal information the Company has about you in the event the Company sells or transfers all or a portion of our business or assets, or merges with another organization. Should such a sale, transfer or merger occur, the Company will use reasonable efforts seeking to require that the transferee uses personal information you have provided to the Company in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.
We will not sell, resell or lease your personal information to any third parties but the Company may, if required for the purpose(s) for which your personal information was collected and processed, share it with the Company partners and/or service providers to enable them to provide their services to the Company or to you, as applicable. The foregoing are in addition to the other uses described elsewhere in this Policy.
Security of Personal Information of European Citizens
The Company has policies and technical and organizational measures in place which are intended to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure. However, you should be aware that information transmitted over the internet is not completely secure because of the nature of the internet and that systems and measures used to secure information are not flawless. For these reasons, although the Company will use reasonable efforts to
protect your personal information, the Company does not warrant the security of personal information transmitted to the Company or stored by the Company, and personal information that is transmitted to the Company by you electronically is done at your own risk.
Retention of Personal Information of European Data Subjects.
Our policy is to retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the Company collected such personal information, including for the purposes of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which the Company is subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, the Company considers the scope, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or
disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which the Company collected and processed your personal information and whether the Company can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal and professional requirements.
You may exercise any of the above requests in writing to the Company via email or regular mail by using
the contact information under “Contact Us” below.
D. Contact Us
If you have any questions about matters addressed in this Policy, please contact us by one of the
following methods:

By Phone: 844-289-3873
The data we process regarding our Prospects, Customers and their Users and Consumers (“you” or “your”), is typically collected and generated through automatic means, directly from you, through your interaction with us or with our Services; from our Customers, who provide us with their Users’ and Consumers’ data; or through third-party services, social media, analytics tools, events we organize or take part in, and other business initiatives.
The definition of terms like “Personal Data”, “Personal Information”, “Personally Identifiable Information” and the like, may vary in different jurisdictions and in different laws. To the extent any of the information described in this section is not considered to be information which is protected by the laws which are applicable to you, we will not regard it as personal data, and this Policy will not apply to it.
Fuse processes the personal data described in Section 1 as necessary for the performance of our Services; to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; and to support our legitimate interests in maintaining, improving and advertising our Services, e.g. in understanding how our Services are used and how our campaigns are performing, and gaining insights which help us dedicate our resources and efforts more efficiently; in marketing, advertising and selling our Services; providing customer service and technical support; and protecting and securing our Services, ourselves and the organizations and individuals we engage with.
We do not sell your personal information for the intents and purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Specifically, we use your data for the following purposes:
We and our authorized Service Providers (defined below) maintain, store and process personal data in the United States and other locations as reasonably necessary for the proper performance and delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law. While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Fuse and its affiliates and Service Providers are each committed to protect personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, customary industry standards, and such appropriate lawful mechanisms and contractual terms requiring adequate data protection, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in the jurisdiction to which such data may be transferred. In particular, Consumer data processed on behalf of our Customers may only be processed in such locations as permitted in our Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and other commercial agreements such Customer.
We retain your personal data for as long as it is reasonably necessary to provide you with our Services and offerings and to maintain and expand our relationship; to comply with our legal and contractual obligations; or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes (e.g. as required by laws applicable to log-keeping, records and bookkeeping, and in order to have proof and evidence concerning our relationship, should any legal issues arise following your discontinuance of use), all in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and where applicable, also with our Customer’s reasonable instructions and as further stipulated in our DPA and other commercial agreements with such Customer.
Please note that except as required by applicable law or our specific agreements with you, we will not be obligated to retain your personal data for any particular period, and we are free to securely delete it or restrict access to it for any reason and at any time, with or without notice to you. If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us by e-mail at privacy@fuseautotech.com.
We and our hosting services implement systems, applications and procedures to secure your personal data, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information. These measures provide sound industry-standard security, however, although we make efforts to protect your privacy and data, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of any personal data stored with us or with any third-parties.
We and our Service Providers use “cookies” and other technologies for performance, tracking, analytics and personalization purposes and in order to provide you with a better experience. We may share non-identifiable/aggregated extracts of such information with our partners for our legitimate business purposes.
To learn more about our cookies practices, please visit our Cookie Policy.
We engage in service and promotional communications, through e-mail, phone, SMS and notifications with our Users.
If you do not wish to receive such promotional communications, you may notify Fuse at any time by sending an e-mail to: privacy@fuseautotech.com or by following the “unsubscribe”, “stop”, “opt-out” or “change e-mail preferences” instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.
Individuals have rights concerning their personal data. If you wish to exercise your privacy rights under any applicable law, including the CCPA, or the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), such as the right to request access to, and rectification or erasure of your personal data held with Fuse, or to restrict or object to such personal data’s processing, or to port such personal data, or the right to equal services and prices, or the right to receive the contact information of the relevant credit bureau (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you) – please contact us by e-mail at: privacy@fuseautotech.com.
Please note that such rights are not absolute. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal data that we hold about you. In the event that we cannot accommodate your request, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Please also note that we may require additional information, including certain personal data, in order to authenticate and process your request. Such additional information may be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g., as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 4 above. We may redact from the data which we will make available to you, any personal data related to others.
If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding data we process on our Customer’s behalf, please contact the administrator of such Customer’s account directly. For example, if you are a User or a Consumer of our Customer and you wish to access, correct, or delete data processed by Fuse on behalf of our Customer, please direct your request to the relevant Customer (who is the “data controller” of such data – see Section 10 below). Note that if you do contact us, we may share your communications with our Customer and its Users.
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “business”, who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “service provider”, who processes the data on behalf of the business. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
(i) With respect to Prospect data, Fuse assumes the responsibilities of a “business” (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “service providers”.
(ii) With respect to User data, Fuse assumes the responsibilities of both a “business” and a “service provider”. Such data is partially processed by Fuse for its own purposes (as described in Section 2 above), as a “business” whilst other aspects of Users’ data will be processed by us on our Customer’s behalf, as a “service provider”.
(iii) With respect to Consumer data, Fuse assumes the responsibilities of a “service provider”, processing the data on behalf of our Customer (the “business”). In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “third-parties”.
Accordingly, Fuse processes Consumers personal data strictly in accordance with such Customer’s reasonable instructions and as further stipulated in our DPA and other commercial agreements with such Customer. The Customer, as controller of such data, will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to business. For the avoidance of doubt, each Customer is solely responsible for providing adequate notice to their Users and Consumers whose personal data may be processed – including sufficient reference to the processing of their personal data via the Services, and any other information necessary to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws; and to obtain all approvals and consents from such individuals as required under such laws.
