Allison may alter this Privacy Policy at any time, including to comply with privacy laws, regulations, and/or our own or industry standards, business practices, or otherwise.

If we make material changes to this this Privacy Policy regarding the ways in which we use or disclose data that we collect, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (such as by posting notice of such changes on the Site, or by other means consistent with applicable law). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy each time you access or use the Site or Products. Changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective and will apply to personal data processed and information collected starting on the date we post the revised Privacy Policy to the Site.

In jurisdictions where consent to this Policy may be required, your use of the Site or Products indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, including any changes made to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use.

Allison may collect personal data from you, which will be processed for the specific purpose given at the time of collection, or for a purpose stated in this Privacy Policy. Personal data is information that either identifies you or makes you identifiable (either alone or with other information we hold about you). 

We will only process your personal data where we have a valid legal basis for doing so under applicable data protection laws. In each case, our legal basis for processing is set out below.

Purpose of personal data processing	Legal basis for processing	Categories of personal data processed

You generally do not need to provide us with personal data to use the Site to obtain information from most of the features on the Site.

Finally, we may deidentify your data such that it cannot reasonably be used to infer information about you or otherwise be linked to you (or we may collect data that has already been deidentified), and we may use such deidentified data for any purpose. For example, we also collect the following categories of data, although these do not contain personal data:

• Site Aggregate Information, meaning general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they click on;
• Product Telematics Data, meaning parameters relating to the operation of Allison Products such as: telemetry regarding performance; logging report; usage; operation; Product year, make, model, health and identification number; configuration; service or repair status; safety event information; and location; and
• Fleet Vehicle Data, meaning data from our partners who operate fleets of vehicles and telematics solutions providers who capture and report on data associated with fleet vehicles, which helps us identify and resolve issues associated with the operation and performance of Allison transmissions and/or other powertrain components and assemblies, provide fleet vehicle insights, and research and develop activities associated with our products and service. End users will enter a separate data sharing agreement that will govern the sharing and use of fleet vehicle data.

To the extent we possess or process any deidentified data, we will maintain and use such data in deidentified form and not attempt to re-identify the data, except solely for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification process satisfies legal requirements.

In some cases, you may be asked to provide personal data to access or use certain pages and services of the Site, or to allow us to provide you with certain personalized or enhanced services that you have requested. How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate, and the services provided. As noted, you can access or use many pages and services on the Site without providing any personal data. Still, other pages and services may prompt you to provide personal data.

The Site also may collect information automatically and using electronic tools. For example, we may automatically collect personal data using “cookies.” Cookies are small text files a website uses to recognize repeat Users, facilitate the User’s ongoing access to the website, and facilitate the use of the website. For information about how Allison uses cookies, please visit www.allisontransmission.com/cookies. 

We do not disclose your personal data, except where the disclosure falls into one or more of the following categories: 

1. The disclosure is to outside businesses to perform certain services for us, such as maintaining the Site, mailing lists, processing orders and delivering products and services, sending postal mail, processing, providing marketing assistance, data analysis, etc.;
2. The disclosure is to persons or entities for whom we are providing services, provided the disclosure is consistent with the purpose for which the personal data was obtained;
3. The disclosure is pursuant to our data sharing agreement with fleet vehicle partners and telematics solutions providers;
4. The disclosure is part of a business transaction, in which Allison undergoes a process such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets;
5. The disclosure is to permit other businesses to perform certain services for us, such as hosting or maintaining the Site, storing your information, processing orders or subscriptions, or providing marketing assistance and data analysis.
6. The disclosure is to financial service providers or other similar service providers to fulfill and carry out the purchase and provision of goods and services requested by you; or
7. The party to whom the disclosure is made controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Allison.

Please note that some Allison group companies are (and some of our service providers may be) based outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the UK, and your personal information may be transferred to locations which do not have the same standards of data protection law as within the EEA and the UK. Where we do so, we ensure that your personal data is subject to safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws. If you would like to know more about how we protect your personal data when it is transferred internationally, you can contact us at webmaster@allisontransmission.com.

We may provide your personal data to third parties for their marketing and/or advertising purposes, but only if we are permitted to do so under applicable laws relating to direct marketing in your jurisdiction. Users of the Site are given the opportunity to consent to the disclosure of their personal data to a third party or to the use of such information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the User. We do this to ensure that our Users can make an informed choice as to whether they want to share their information with such outside parties. We will provide individuals with a compliant mechanism to exercise their choices.

If you have authorized us to share such information about you with others and later notify us that you no longer want us to share your information, we will cease sharing your personal data for this purpose. However, except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not control the third parties with whom we share such information, and you will need to further notify such this parties if you would like them to cease use of your information.

We take reasonable precautions designed to protect the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of any information you provide and that we collect and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The personal data you provide and we collect is stored within databases that are controlled by us or by our service providers. Since no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply, and we collect will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. 

If you create an account on the Site, you may be asked to choose a password for your account, in which case your online account information shall be protected by your password. You may not disclose your password to any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Site account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or Site account. You can access and update information in your account profile at any time by logging in to the website with your login name and password.
