Privacy Policy
Date Last Updated: March 31, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains our practices, defines our users’ (“you” or “your”) privacy options, and describes how your information is collected and used by Geo-Comm, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “GeoComm”).
This Privacy Policy, along with our Terms of Use governs your use of our website at https://www.geocomm.com/ with its subdomains and content services (collectively, the “System”) and applies to Personal Information we collect when you contact us as set forth below. This Privacy Policy applies when GeoComm is the controller of Personal Information.
Personal Information means any identifying information, such as your name or another identifier, such as postal address, email address, telephone number, or professional license identification number. Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregated data that can no longer be used to identify a specific person, even if combined with other data. The specific definition of Personal Information varies from one jurisdiction to another.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Information collected in connection with providing our business customers with our software, software subscriptions, professional services and GIS data management solutions (“Services”). Our customers are the controllers because they decide the purposes and means of processing the Personal Information whereas we only process such Personal Information on their behalf as a service provider and processor. Any Personal Information processed in the provision of Services will be governed by our agreements with our customers. If you have any questions regarding how your Personal Information is processed within the Services or wish to exercise your rights (if any) with respect to that Personal Information, please visit our customer’s privacy policies and contact them directly.
Modifications to this Privacy Policy
In our sole discretion, we may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will mark new versions with a corresponding effective date above. We recommend you visit the System to review any changes in our practices. Your continued use of the System constitutes your agreement to our then-current Privacy Policy.
