We also may share your information when we have reason to believe it is necessary to investigate or enforce our policies, terms, or other legal document or contract related to the Mobility Services or rights of a third party.
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or online platform. We use cookies and similar tracking technology like pixels and web beacons (collectively, “Cookies”) including those of third-party service providers to operate and enhance our Mobility Services and understand how you navigate our Mobility Services, to maintain user preferences or settings, combat fraud, help to ensure compliance with our policies and terms of use, and in some cases support our online advertising for the Mobility Services. We ask you to provide your consent to use Cookies when required by law.
For information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see the Cookie Notice presented on the Mobility Service you are using (where applicable based on local laws).
The Mobility Services may include hyperlinks to or include on or in connection with the Mobility Services (e.g., apps and plug-ins), websites, locations, platforms, or services operated by third parties, including airlines or other transportation partners (“Third-Party Services”), and you can use the Mobility Services to navigate to access and use Third-Party Services. These Third-Party Services may use their own Cookies to independently collect information about you and may solicit personal data from you.
When you access these Third-Party Services, the applicable third party’s policies and terms and conditions govern those services. We are not responsible for and makes no representations or warranties regarding the policies or business practices of any third parties, including, without limitation, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available on a third-party website. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the third party’s privacy policies and terms of use.
We take our responsibility to protect your information seriously and use appropriate technical, physical, and organizational measures to safeguard the information that we process through our Mobility Services. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal data. No security system is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee our security measures will not be compromised.
Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different than the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).
The servers that process personal data related to our Mobility Services are primarily located in the United States, UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands though personal data also may be transferred to India, Australia and the countries in which our business is established, or our Mobility Services are available, and potentially other countries. This means that when we collect your personal data, we or our service providers will process it in different countries. Please see the Privacy Notice section "When We Share Your Personal Data" for further information on third parties with whom we may share your personal data.
We take appropriate safeguards to help ensure that your personal data remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These include, for example, implementing the UK and European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies, which require group companies that are parties to these agreements to protect personal data they process from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK in accordance with data protection laws in those areas. Where appropriate, we also put in place additional safeguards to protect your personal data when it is transferred to countries considered to be less protective.
Information on the Standard Contractual Clauses we have in place between our Viasat group companies can be provided on request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners.
Viasat, Inc. participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework. Please review the Data Privacy Framework Addendum included in this Privacy Notice to learn more.*
*Viasat, Inc. will not rely on the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework until they enter into force, but Viasat, Inc. will adhere to their required commitments in anticipation of their effective date.
Where Viasat, Inc. relies on the EU EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, these will apply to transfers of personal data to Viasat, Inc. instead of the Standard Contractual Clauses in place between the Viasat group companies.
If you are in one of the locations listed below, please review the “Location-specific Addendum” portion of this Privacy Notice for location specific information about our collection and use of your personal data and your related rights.
We retain the personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate purpose to do so as described in the “How We Use Your Personal Data and Our Legal Bases” section above. For example, where we process your information based on a contract with you, we generally will retain the information for the length of the contract to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We do not use your personal data to engage in automated decision-making that will have a significant effect on you (legally or otherwise).
Depending on your location, the privacy laws that apply to our Mobility Services give you certain rights over the personal data we process about you. These rights are in addition to your right to know or be informed about how we process your data, which we honor through this Privacy Notice. Your data protection rights may include:

This Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”) Notice sets out the privacy principles Viasat follows with respect to transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK) and Switzerland to the United States, including personal data we process as part of our Mobility Services.
Viasat, including those affiliates listed in Annex 1 of this Addendum, complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF (UK-U.S. DPF), and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.* We have certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to: (i) the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF; and (ii) the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF (collectively, the “DPF Principles”). If there is any conflict between the terms in this DPF Notice and the DPF Principles, the DPF Principles shall govern.
*We will not rely on the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework until each enters into force, but we adhere to their required commitments in anticipation of their doing so.

Types of personal data we collect and use
The types of personal data we may receive in the United States, as well as the purposes for which we collect and use it, will vary depending on the Mobility Services you use. You can find the details applicable to your specific information set out in this Privacy Notice.

Transfers to third parties
Information about the types of third parties to which we disclose personal data and the purposes for which we do so is described in the Privacy Notice.
If we have received your personal data in the United States and subsequently transfer that information to a third party acting as an agent, and such third-party agent processes your personal data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, we will remain liable unless we can prove we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Your DPF rights
If you are from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you have the right to request access to the personal data that we hold about you and request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the DPF.
