What information do we collect about you?

We may also collect additional (non-mandatory) pieces of information you may be asked to provide, or which you may choose to provide by posting on a forum, filling out a web form, or communicating with us, such as your interests, preferences, age, gender, feedback, and survey responses so that we can better understand our customers. We also obtain information about you where we have the appropriate permissions to do so or as otherwise authorized by applicable law.
Information we collect automatically when you use our sites or services
We may collect information about your interaction with our sites and services from the devices you use, such as your unique device ID, device type, and advertising ID. We may also collect information about your visits and activity on our Platform, including the content and any advertisements that you view and interact with, the address of the site from which you arrived, and other technical data about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns (such as the pages you view, the links you click, the items you add to your cart, the length of your internet session, your IP address, and approximate location at the time of browsing). This information is collected using cookies or similar technologies as described in Section 10 Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking.
Information collected from other sources
We may combine your information with information we collect from third parties or public sources, including analytics providers, advertising networks, and publicly available sources.
Social media
Certain sites in our Platform may offer services that require you to set up an account prior to receiving such services or that allow you to share your completion of Courses directly on certain social media accounts, including LinkedIn. To create a secure account, you can use your email address and a password, or if the site offers a LinkedIn single-sign-on service, you will be able to register for and log-in to your account using your LinkedIn account. If you choose to use the LinkedIn single-sign-on service or share your Course completion on LinkedIn through the link on our Platform, you are granting permission to LinkedIn to share certain profile information with us. This will include your name, profile picture, list of connections, and any other information notified to you by LinkedIn prior to you completing the single-sign-on authorization process. You control what social media information you allow us to have access to using the privacy settings on the applicable social media platform and any permissions you give as part of the single-sign-on authorization process.
Children’s data
Our Platform is not intended for children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not provide any information to us, and instead, ask your parent or guardian to do this on your behalf. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase products or services from us. If you are under the age of 18, you must ensure that your parent or guardian purchases the products or services on your behalf.
How will we use the information about you?
We may use your information for the following purposes:
Personalization and Advertising
We want the ads and content displayed on our Platform to be relevant to you. Personalizing and targeting advertising, content, services, and communications allows us to provide you with much of our sought-after online content for free.
We will use your information to provide you with personalized content, services, and communications as well as targeted advertising on our Platform, sites operated by our group companies, and selected partner sites. We do this by matching, combining, or linking the different sources of information we hold about you (e.g., linking your contact or subscriber information with your activity across our Platform or by linking your activity on our Platform across all your devices using your email or social media log-in details) or by creating segments based on various factors such as your age and gender, your device details, or your inferred interests. We work with data management platform providers to assist with this process.
We also use your information for retargeting (for example, you could see an advertisement on a partner site such as Facebook for a product that you have recently viewed on our sites). These activities may involve the use of cookies and other similar technologies as described in Section 10 Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking.
Marketing
Where we have the appropriate permissions or as otherwise authorized by applicable law, we will use your information to market and advertise our products and services and occasionally third-party products and services that could be of interest to you including third-party offers, advertisements, competitions, or commercial communications by telephone (mobile and landline when available), post, electronic messaging (including SMS and MMS), email, online, or via applications. You could be contacted directly by our third-party service providers for these purposes.
You can always tell us that you wish to stop receiving direct marketing communications from us. But remember, if you do not want us to get in touch, you will miss out on offers.
If you would prefer not to receive direct marketing communications, simply let us know at any time by writing to info@motorullc.com, or by following the opt-out instructions in the relevant communication. Please note that this will not stop you from receiving service messages from us.

We rely on one or more of the following legal bases when processing your data:

What will we disclose and share with third parties?
We share your personal data with our third-party service providers for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, such as to enable them to process a request, order, or service; to supply you with a prize in the event you win a competition; or in order to obtain information. We may use a number of IT service providers, including but not limited to IT warehouses, processors, credit-granting organizations for continuing education, data-storage, marketing contractors, and agents, inside and outside the European Union to store data and customer management information, provide disaster recovery services and related IT services that we need to conduct our business, and perform any contract we enter into with you. Any third parties we contract with to process your data on our behalf are subject to contractual obligations to protect the security of your data in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may share your information with advertisers, ad servers, ad networks, and content recommendation services to select and deliver advertising and content, and to target and personalize advertising and content both on our sites and on selected partner sites. This will not include any information which directly identifies you in the real world, such as your name, e-mail address, address, or phone number. However, by interacting with or viewing an advertisement or content, you should be aware that the third party could make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the advertisement or content. We also share your information with analytics and search engine providers to assist us in the improvement and optimization of our sites. We may merge with or be acquired by another business. If this happens, we share the information that relates to you with that other business. You will be sent notice of such an event.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal data in order to comply with the law, applicable regulations, and government requests. We also reserve the right to use such information in order to protect our operating systems and integrity as well as other users.
We further reserve the right to disclose your personal information and data to NASBA and its affiliates in order to evaluate compliance with certain continuing professional education standards.
How do we protect your information?
Once we have received your data, we will take steps to ensure that it is treated in accordance with any applicable laws. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
Other websites
Please note that clicking on links and advertisements on our sites could result in you being transferred to another website, where data privacy practices vary from ours. If transferred to another website, you should consult that website’s privacy policy as we are not responsible for, and have no control over, information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.
How long do we keep your information?
We are required by law to keep certain information about our customers (such as financial and transaction-related data) for up to seven (7) years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. We may adjust this retention period to comply with changes in the law.
Based on our relationship with NASBA, we are required to maintain records of your data and information related to the continuing professional education courses on our Platform in which you choose to participate for a period of five (5) years so that NASBA can request and be provided such information for accreditation purposes.
Our data retention periods vary depending on the context of the services that we provide to you and our legal obligations. To determine the appropriate period for which we keep your data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your data, the potential risk or harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process that data (and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means), and applicable legal requirements.
International Transfers of Data and Information
If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, it may be stored in the United States and in other jurisdictions. If you are visiting our Platform from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that your personally identifiable information may be transferred to the United States and to other jurisdictions, which may not have the same data protection laws as the European Union and may not afford many of the rights conferred upon data subjects in the European Union. You acknowledge that you understand: (i) your personally identifiable information may be used for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and (ii) your personally identifiable information may be transferred to the United States or other jurisdictions as indicated above.
Our Security Policy
Our Platform is hosted in the USA, and we conduct all of our business from our office located in the USA. Accordingly, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to the transfer, storing, and processing of your data outside of the European Union. Your data may be transferred to countries that do not have the same data protection laws as the country from which you initially provided the information.
We have taken steps to build our Platform using sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your personal data. When we collect your personal data through our Platform, we will encrypt your personal data before it travels over the Internet using industry standards for conducting secure online transactions. We also use industry standard technologies, such as secure routers and fire walls, to make sure that your personal information is safe. Unfortunately, we cannot fully guarantee secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature.
Once we receive your personal data, we have industry standard security measures in place to protect against the loss or misuse of your personal data, though again, we cannot fully guarantee against such loss or misuse. We strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for our Platform and not share it with anyone. You should always log out of our Platform when you are done using it, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
We may also use certain third-party services and platforms, including but not limited to TalentLMS, for management of personal data and information related to the Courses. You agree that you will abide by any such third-party platform terms of use and privacy policies and that we are not responsible for the security or privacy of any personal data or information used or collected by such third-party platforms.
Your Rights
You have certain rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you, which we detail below. Certain rights only apply in specific circumstances. We have also described how you may exercise those rights. When you exercise your rights, we need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We will also contact you to ask you for further information related to your request to speed up our response.
You have the right to:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details provided in the Section 14 How to contact us below.
Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking
Like many other websites, we and our third-party service providers use cookies, clear GIFs/pixel tags, JavaScript, local storage, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically collect and record information about your usage and browsing activities on the Platform and across third party sites or online services. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use cookies to identify the areas of our Platform that you have visited. We also use cookies to enhance your online experience by eliminating the need to access or log in multiple times for specific content. Finally, we may use cookies to personalize the content that you see on our Platform or to customize marketing and other information we provide to you. We may combine this information with other information we collect about users.
Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of cookies, and our Platform contains buttons that allow you to opt-in and opt-out to various types of communications from us. However, if you disable or do not opt-in to our use of cookies, you may not be able to access features on our Platform correctly or at all.
Dispute Resolution
By using the Platform, you and MotorU, LLC agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Platform, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part thereof (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to: MotorU, LLC, 855 Lamonte Lane, Houston, Texas 77018.
Both you and MotorU, LLC agree that this Dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party.
IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) (or to the alternative dispute resolution we select, in our sole discretion) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect in the State of Texas before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Privacy Policy, including any claim that all or any part of this Privacy Policy is void or voidable.
Choice of Law and Forum
You agree that the laws of the State of Texas govern this Privacy Policy and any claim or dispute that you may have against us, without regard to any conflict of laws rules. The parties acknowledge that this Privacy Policy evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). You further agree that any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be resolved by a court located in Harris County, Texas, and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. PLEASE NOTE THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU ARE: (1) WAIVING CLAIMS THAT YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE AGAINST US BASED ON THE LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING YOUR OWN; (2) IRREVOCABLY CONSENTING TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS FOR ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THIS PROVISION; AND (3) SUBMITTING YOURSELF TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTES OR CLAIMS.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
