2. Personal Data We Collect and How We Use It

We need to collect and use certain Personal Data to provide the Business and Developer Resources to you and fulfil the promises we make to you in the Terms:

  • When you sign up or apply for the Business and Developer Resources (your “Account”), you give us Personal Data voluntarily by providing it to us. We collect and use that information in order to authenticate you when you register for an Account and use the Business and Developer Resources, to make sure you are eligible and able to receive the Business and Developer Resources, and so that you receive the correct version of the Business and Developer Resources. This may include: information about you (your name, email address, and phone number) and your business (business name, business address, physical location, phone number, industry, and / or a copy of your local business license, and / or other information relevant to verifying your business as applicable), as well as internal account IDs that we may assign to your account.

  • You may also have the option of using a supported external single sign-on service to sign up for an Account. As such, the Personal Data we collect also depends on which external accounts you choose to use, their privacy policy, and what your privacy settings with those services allow us to see when you use their services to access the Business and Developer Resources.

  • If you choose to link your Google account to the Business and Developer Resources, we will collect your Google email address and an authentication token provided by Google.

  • If you choose to link your Meta account to the Business and Developer Resources, we will collect a unique user ID provided by Meta and your Meta registered email address.

  • Some external providers may notify you that they make additional information, such as your public profile, available to us when you use their single sign-on services. We may collect that information from them.

  • If you upload data using the “Developer Private Scan” user flow in Scaniverse for Developers, we will collect Personal Data to enable you to test certain AR features offered as part of the Business and Developer Resources (subject always to the Niantic Spatial Business and Developer Terms of Service). This includes geospatial information, 3D imagery and related data. You can access and delete your “Developer Private Scans” at any time through the Scaniverse for Developers Geospatial Browser.

Where payment is required to use a Business and Developer Service, you will be required to supply payment information, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your email and postal addresses for billing and notification, and additional information to verify your identity (collectively, “Payment Information”). To protect your privacy, your Payment Information will not be stored on Niantic Spatial's systems but rather by a third party payment processor that assists Niantic Spatial in the authentication, authorization, charge and maintenance of your Payment Information for the Business and Developer Resources you purchase from Niantic Spatial in accordance with their own privacy policy. Such payment processor is subject to applicable standards and regulations with respect to the holding of Personal Data and the processing of online payments.

In addition, we have and rely on a legitimate interest in collecting and using your Personal Data as follows:

  • To create de-identified data. If we create or receive de-identified data, we will not attempt to reidentify such data unless doing so is permitted by, or we are required to do so to comply with, applicable laws.

  • To notify you about important changes to the Business and Developer Resources;

  • ビジネスおよびデベロッパー向けサービスに新規機能又は追加機能を提供すること。

  • 詐欺防止措置を実施し、お客様及びその他のユーザーが当社の利用規約を遵守していることを確認すること。 法律上又は規制上の開示を行うこと、及び法的主張を証明し、行使し又はこれに対して防御すること。

5. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

Niantic Spatial maintains policies and procedures surrounding the retention of Personal Data. The criteria used to determine our retention periods varies based on type of Personal Data, including, but not limited to, legal requirements to retain Personal Data in certain jurisdictions and retention limitation periods under applicable laws. We also keep your Personal Data for as long as we need to provide the Business and Developer Resources to you and fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your Personal Data with and who carry out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your Personal Data and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

Our Business and Developer Resources are not intended for—and we don’t direct them to—children under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your country of residence, if different). Accordingly, we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from any minor in connection with the Business and Developer Resources.
