What rights do you have regarding your data?
You always have the right to request information about your stored data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection at no charge. You also have the right to request that it be corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in the legal notice or at privacy@msxi.com if you have further questions about the issue of privacy and data protection. You may also, of course, file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.
However, any inability for us to process your data, in accordance with this policy and your requests to block or delete its use, might prevent us from being able to offer you access to M:CORE Mobile Learning.
Analytics and third-party tools
When using M:CORE Mobile Learning, statistical analysis will be made from your usage behavior. This happens primarily using analytics. The personally identifiable analysis of your behavior is pertinent only to the usage of M:CORE Mobile Learning in terms of your timed engagement with M:CORE Mobile Learning and its various content. This supports specific features within M:CORE Mobile Learning and our ability to understand and manage the quality of content pertinent to you, alongside your educational performance within M:CORE Mobile Learning. All other possible analysis will be completed at an anonymous level.
You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using M:CORE Mobile Learning. Detailed information can be found in the following privacy policy.

You can object to this analysis. We will inform you below about how to exercise your options in this regard.
Who accesses your Data?
Aside from third party tools used to process data or present media, the M:CORE Mobile Learning Application can be managed on behalf or by our customer, your Manufacturer Brand’s Company. As such, Data relevant to their ability to manage the services they offer you through M:CORE Mobile Learning, will be shared. This will be limited by the level of service they manage. For instance, if MSX International are responsible for the development and dissemination of content through M:CORE Mobile Learning on behalf of our customer, the customer access would likely be limited to anonymized performance reporting. If however, the customer vehicle brand is responsible for managing the content dissemination through M:CORE Mobile Learning, their access to your data would be appropriately and proportionally increased.

In both cases, we will ensure that any third party accessing your data will comply with this Policy and any applicable laws.
