Legal Basis for Processing
Under European data protection laws, MapAbility must have a legal basis to process your Personal Data. The legal basis that applies in a particular instance will depend on the specific purposes described above for which MapAbility is processing your Personal Data:

  • In certain instances, MapAbility may ask for your consent to collect and process your Personal Data. Should you choose to provide your consent, you may later withdraw your consent by contacting us as described in the 'Your Privacy Choices' section. Please note that the withdrawal of consent will not affect processing which has already occurred.
  • In other instances, the processing of your Personal Data may be necessary in order to comply with an applicable law or regulation or for the performance of a contract to which you are subject. You may not be able to opt out of this processing, or your choice to opt out may impact our ability to perform a contractual obligation otherwise owed to you.
  • In yet other instances, MapAbility may process your Personal Data based on MapAbility's legitimate interests in communicating with you about our products and services, and about scientific research and educational opportunities. You have the right to opt out of all such processing of your Personal Data. You may do so by contacting us as described in the 'Your Privacy Choices' section.

Information We Share
MapAbility does not sell or disclose your Personal Data to third parties without your consent, except to governing regulatory authorities or as may otherwise be necessary for MapAbility to comply with a legal obligation or demand. We do not sell or disclose Personal Data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data Security
MapAbility maintains reasonable technical, administrative, and physical controls to secure any Personal Data collected through the MapAbility Sites. However, there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party could intercept an internet transmission, or that someone will find a way to thwart our security systems. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting Personal Data over the internet, especially your financial information. MapAbility cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your Personal Data; therefore, when submitting Personal Data to MapAbility Sites, you must weigh both the benefits and the risks.

Third-Party Sites and Social Media Plug-ins
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites to which the MapAbility Sites may link. The MapAbility Sites may use social media plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook 'Like' button, 'Share to Twitter' button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit MapAbility Sites, the operator of the social plug-in can place a cookie on your computer or other electronic device that enables that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our site. If you are logged into the social media website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) while browsing on our MapAbility Site, the social media plug-in allows that social media website to receive information about your visit to our MapAbility Site. The social media plug-in also allows the social media website to share information about your activities on our MapAbility Site with other users of their social media website. These sharing settings are managed by the social media website and governed by its privacy policy.

Accessing Our Sites Globally
If you are visiting this site from a country other than the United States, your communications with us will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international borders. The level of legal protection for Personal Data is not the same in all countries; however, we will take the security measures described in this Privacy Policy in an effort to keep your information secure. By using this site, you understand that your Personal Data will be stored and processed in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your information in the course of our business operations.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We will only use your Personal Data in the manner described in the Privacy Policy that is in effect at the time that the information was collected from you or as authorized by you. However, and subject to any applicable consent requirements, we reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. MapAbility encourages you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Any Personal Data collected upon your continued use of the MapAbility Sites will be handled in accordance with the newly effective Privacy Policy.
