YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS TO GARMIN

Garmin stores information such as your name, email address and password so you can sign in. It also helps us verify your account if you call customer support.

When you register an IERCC-supported device on our website, we ask you to provide your name, phone number, email address, physical address and emergency contact information. This gives us the details we need to provide search and rescue coordination services to you on behalf of the provider of your device.

To ensure you or your loved one gets the help they need when you use the IERCC’s search and rescue coordination services, Garmin processes your mailing address, telephone number and the contact information for your chosen emergency contacts.

In order to provide assistance to the person in need, we also process information about your device and its location and any personal data that you provide while communicating with IERCC representatives during the course of the services. Incident-related data, including your communications with IERCC representatives may also be recorded.

When you buy a membership for any of the IERCC’s additional services, we ask for information such as your name, address and phone number so we can get your purchase processed.

We have third parties verify your address and process your payment information, but Garmin does not store your payment card details. We only use this information to help us complete your orders.

In order to provide you with stellar customer support that’s directly related to your inquiry, we may collect things such as your name, phone number and information about the IERCC services you use when you interact with our customer support or sales representatives.

When you or a companion requests assistance, we need your location, the nature of your emergency and other relevant information to coordinate with search and rescue agencies to ensure you get the help you need.

When we have something important to tell you about your products, apps, subscriptions or account — such as vital safety information and updates to our privacy policy — we use collected contact information to reach you.

When you visit our sites or use our apps, we collect information — such as your IP address, location, times that you visit and more — to let us know how people navigate our sites and apps and how we can improve them.

We use things such as cookies, pixel tags and similar tools to help us provide better, more relevant content on our sites.

We also use these tools to identify any problems that we need to fix. All in all, we just want to give you websites worth browsing.

In the event that we need to provide search and rescue services on behalf of third-party device providers or other businesses, Garmin will share certain personal data with those partners.

To provide assistance when requested, Garmin may provide information, such as your name and location to competent search and rescue authorities and emergency responders.

When providing assistance, if you have identified any emergency contacts in your membership settings, we may provide them with information such as message content and location of the message sender.

We share personal data with trusted third parties who provide services — such as communication and payment processing — for us.

Garmin will share your personal data when required to by law enforcement and in other legal matters.

Garmin is global, which means your personal data may be stored locally or in another country or transferred between Garmin companies. No matter where your information is within Garmin, it is still secured under this privacy policy.
