Last Updated: February 1st, 2020
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy applies to all the content, features, products, services, websites and mobile
apps (collectively, the “Services”) offered by Outreach Smartphone Monitoring LLC (dba Alcohol
Smartphone Monitoring) and other Outreach Smartphone Monitoring affiliates (collectively
“OSM” or “we”), except where otherwise noted. Our Privacy Policy explains how we and some
of the companies we may work with collect, use, or disclose personal information and data in
connection with the Services.
This Privacy Policy also gives you choices about the collection and
use of your information.
This Privacy Policy applies to anyone using any of the Services (collectively, “you”), whether you
are a customer or user of any of the Services, or a visitor of our website or app.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use our Services. By using the Services,
you agree to be bound and abide by them Website Terms of Use and/or the Mobile App Terms of
Use, as applicable, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the foregoing terms or if you
violate them in any way, your right to access or use the Services is terminated.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding
contract with OSM and meet all of the eligibility requirements in the Terms of Use.
2. CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
We may revise and update this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. Where
appropriate, we may seek to provide notice before an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective.
You agree that we may notify you of the updated Privacy Policy by posting it on the Services (such
as on our website and app), and that your use of the Services after the effective date of the updated
Privacy Policy (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your
agreement to the updated Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to check the Privacy Policy
posted on the Services periodically so that you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on
you.
3. WHO ARE “YOU”?
We refer to “you” a lot in this Privacy Policy. To better understand what information is most
relevant to you, see the following useful definitions.
-
You are an “Agency User” if you have an account with one of our Services and are an
employee or contractor of a federal, state or local law enforcement or governmental
agency, court, correctional institution, treatment center, private probation company, or
other entity, organization or third party responsible for monitoring certain individuals
2
(each, an “Agency Monitor”). As an Agency User, you may primarily use the Services
by logging into the Agency Login page on our website.
-
You are an “Monitored User” if you have an account with one of our Services and
have enrolled or have been enrolled by an Agency Monitor for the monitoring services
that we offered. As a Monitored User, you will need to download one or more OSM
apps to use the Services. For certain Services, you will need to purchase an OSM-
supplied device (e.g., breathalyzer, Bluetooth wristband or other equipment) (“OSM
Equipment”) for use together with an OSM app.
-
You are a “Visitor” if you are just visiting one of our websites or apps because you are
curious, you have heard about us from our marketing and sales channels, or you want
to learn more about OSM or our Services.
4. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
When you use our Services, we may collect information about you in the following general
categories:
-
Contact and Profile Information. You may provide us with your contact or other
profile information, whether through a request for use of our Services, creation or
modification of your account or profile, a form on our website, an interaction with our
sales or customer support team, a response to one of our surveys or when you otherwise
communicate with us. This information may include your personal information such
as: name; email address; home, business and/or mobile phone number; billing, shipping
and/or other postal address; profile picture; and other information you choose to
provide. If you are a Monitored User, we may also collect your unique personal
identifier or code and other information specified by your Agency Monitor, which are
required for you as a Monitored User to use our Services.
-
Payment Information. If you use the Services to make or receive payments, we will
also collect certain payment information, such as credit card, debit card, or other
financial account information, and billing address. Such billing information will be
collected through a payment gateway service provider (such as Authorize.net).
-
Location Information. When you use the Services for monitoring through an OSM
app and/or through OSM Equipment, we collect precise location data or geolocation
data. If you permit the Services to access location services through the permission
system used by your mobile operating system, we may also collect the precise location
of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. When you
have one or more of our apps installed on your device, we may use and store GPS and
cell tower information relating to your mobile device, in combination with other
location-based information such as your IP address, your billing postal code provided
by your carrier, or your registration location.
-
BAC Data. If you are a Monitored User using OSM Equipment and registered for our
blood alcohol content (“BAC”) screening services, we also collect blood alcohol
content test or screening results (“BAC Data”) from your OSM Equipment.
-
User Contributions. We may collect any other content or data you choose to submit
to our Services (e.g., photos, comments, test results, videos, and other materials),
including from OSM Equipment (“User Contributions”). We may receive any
metadata associated with the User Contributions, for example, a picture you provide to
us may have embedded date/time and location information about where it was recorded
(i.e., geotags).
-
Communications. We may collect any information exchanged in communications
with you. For example, you may communicate with us via email or otherwise regarding
your use of the Services. We may also receive information you or your device provides
to us for technical support or other assistance with the Services.
Call and SMS Data. Our Services facilitate communications between Monitored
Users and Agency Monitors or other vendors. In connection with facilitating this
service, we may receive call data, including the date and time of the call or SMS
message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of the SMS message.
-
Mobile Device and Network Access. If you use our app, some of our application
features require us to access your mobile device or mobile device network. For
example, to add a court reminder to the native calendar on your mobile device, we must
access that calendar to add the reminder. Also to use the video upload feature of the
app, we must access your camera and videos to upload the video. The same is true if
you authorize fingerprint authentication or facial recognition for authentication;
however, any information related to fingerprint authentication or facial recognition will
be stored only on your device and we do not collect or store such information.
Information Received from Third Parties. We may receive or collect information
about you, including personal information, from third parties where, for example, you
give permission to those third parties to share your information with us or where you
have made that information publicly available online. Such third parties may include,
but are not limited to, Agency Monitors. If we do so, this policy governs any
combined information that we maintain about you in personally-identifiable format.
-
Log Data and Analytics Information. When you use the Services, our servers
automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, IP
address, operating system version, device type, unique device identifiers such as ID or
MAC address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, the files viewed on our
site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), number of clicks and how you interact with
links on the Services, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, operating system
versions, device type and timestamps, and other such information. We may also collect
similar information from emails sent to our users which then help us track which emails
are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more
accurate reporting and improvement of the Services. We may also use third-party
analytics tools to help us measure traffic, usage, and sales trends associated with our
Services. These tools collect information sent by your device when using the Services,
including the web pages you visit, what you click on, when you perform those actions,
what language preference you have, add-ons, and other similar information that assists
us in improving the Services.
-
Cookies and Similar Technologies. In connection with our collection of log data and
analytics information, we may use “cookies” and other common online technologies
like pixels (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) and local storage to collect
additional information regarding your use of the Services. “Cookies” are small text files
stored on a computer or other device that connects with online services through a
website browser. Our “Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies” section below
contains more information and options about our use of such technologies.
-
Recognition Technologies. We may use various technologies such as sensory devices
for facial, motion or other behavioral patterns coupled with the application of statistical
probability algorithms and data sets, that will attempt to recognize or make reasonable
assumptions about a Monitored User and his or her devices (e.g., that multiple devices
are associated with the same Monitored User, or that a Monitored User is in a certain
mental or physical state that may be relevant to the Services for which the Monitored
User has been enrolled with an Agency Monitor).
5. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
As noted above, we use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, for
performance and analytics, and to improve our content and Services. We also use cookies and
similar technologies for purposes of marketing and advertising.
A “cookie” is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends
cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to the server (for example, when
requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie). The purpose of cookies is
to remember the browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others.
Some cookies and other technologies may serve to track personal information previously entered
by a user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them,
and how to remove them. Cookies can remember login information, preferences, and similar
information. We or third party data and advertising platforms that we work with may use or
combine multiple technologies, such as cookies, page tags, mobile identifiers and IP addresses, to
infer users’ common identities across different services and multiple devices such as tablets,
browsers, and mobile phones.
Cookies, as well as other tracking technologies, such as HTML5 local storage, and Local Shared
Objects (such as “Flash” cookies), and similar mechanisms, may record information such as a
unique identifier, information you enter in a form, IP address, and other categories of data. We
may also use web beacons or “pixels,” and in certain circumstances may collect IP address, screen
resolution and browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, dates and times
that our website is accessed, and other categories of data.
We only share personal information with vendors and others described below for purposes
identified in this Privacy Policy, but anonymous online activities collected by those providing
cookies, pixels or other third party technologies on our Services could potentially be used by those
vendors for their own purposes, some of whom may be able to associate such information with
you based on other information they have collected independently (not from us).
If you want to block the use and saving of cookies, you can take the necessary steps within your
browser’s settings to block all cookies from OSM and our external serving vendors. Please note
that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, certain parts of our Services may not function
correctly. For instance we may not be able to store your preferences or login information or
customize content viewed by you and advertising to your viewing habits. For information on how
to disable cookies, refer to your browser’s documentation.
6. DE-IDENTIFIED OR ANONYMOUS DATA
Some of the personal information we collect (as described above) may be de-identified or
otherwise anonymized (collectively, “Anonymized Data”) so it cannot identify you or be
reasonably linkable to you. Our use of Anonymized Data is not subject to this Privacy Policy.
7. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PLATFORM PERMISSIONS
Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps
cannot access without your consent, and these platforms have different permission systems for
obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time an app wants permission to
access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android
devices will notify you of the permissions that the app seeks before you first use the app, and your
use of the app constitutes your consent.
8. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
8.1. Generally. general, we use personal information for a variety of purposes
described in this Privacy Policy. In some cases, we may ask for your consent so that we may
process your personal information. We may use and process your personal information as

8.3. Information collected from our apps and related Services. If you as an Agency
User have allowed us to send you push notifications, we may provide you notifications and updates
on non-compliance by a Monitored User under your supervision or oversight, such as when such
Monitored User violates a GPS inclusion or exclusion zone, exceeds a specified blood alcohol
content level specified in the applicable OSM Equipment (e.g., the OSM breathalyzer device), or
is not physically located within range of such Monitored User’s mobile phone. If you do not permit
us to send you push notifications, we may still provide such notifications and updates through your
account portal on our website. If you as a Monitored User have allowed us to send you push
notifications, we may provide you notifications of upcoming court dates, check-in dates and other
events, reminders of required check-ins, or notifications when you are not physically not within
range of your mobile phone. If you do not permit us to send you push notifications, we may still
provide such notifications and updates through your account in the OSM App.
If you are a Monitored User, we also collect and use your geo-location information to determine
if you are in compliance with your inclusion or exclusion zone or if you are not physically within
range of your mobile phone and to notify you and your Agency Monitor accordingly, and to

and security notices, and other administrative notices).

If you hold an account with OSM, we will generally retain your personal information for as long
as you maintain an account or subscription, for as long as is necessary to provide the Services, for

with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Note that if you are a
Monitored User, your personal information may be subject to retention due to applicable laws or
court or governmental rules, or your arrangement with your Monitored Agency, and you may need
to receive approval from your Monitored Agency to facilitate certain deletion requests.
13. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Services are not intended for and may not be used by minors under the age of 13. OSM does
not knowingly collect or solicit any personal data from such minors or knowingly allow them to
register for the Services. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal information
from a minor without parental consent, we will endeavor to delete that information as quickly as
possible without notice. If you have reason to believe that we received personal information from
a minor, please contact us via the Contact page on our website or by email at
account@osmnow.com.
14. DO-NOT-TRACK
Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a “flag” or signal that an internet
user may activate in the user’s browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to
be “tracked” by third-parties as defined by the initiative. The online community has not agreed on
what actions, if any, should be taken by the websites that receive the “do not track” signal, and
therefore Do-Not-Track is not yet standardized. Please note that OSM does not alter its behavior
or use practices when we receive a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
15. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Our Services may contain links or otherwise provide access to another website, mobile application,
or online service (collectively “Third-Party Sites”). OSM has no control over and is not
responsible for Third-Party Sites, their content, or any goods or services available through the
Third-Party Sites. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to Third-Party Sites. We encourage you to
read the privacy policies of any Third-Party Site with which you interact.
16. CONTACTING US REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION
In the event you would like access to your personal information, amend or update inaccurate or
incomplete personal information, or request deletion of your personal information, you may
contact us via the contact form on our website at https://osmnow.com/#contact, by e-mail at
account@osmnow.com, or by mail at Outreach Smartphone Monitoring, LLC., 35 Selig Ave.
Montrose, CO 81401, and include the subject as “Attn: Legal – Privacy Policy.” Please be sure to
include your full name, email address, postal address, and any message. We will evaluate your
request and decide on an appropriate response in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law.
17. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
If you are a California resident, you are entitled to make certain requests regarding your personal
information under applicable laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). We
will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of your request before
processing any request. Once verified, we will fulfill each of these requests to the extent required
by law:
(a) You can request a copy of your personal information that we maintain.
(b) You can ask us to delete your personal information, subject to exceptions provided by
law.
(c) You can opt-out of disclosures of your personal information to third parties, subject to
exceptions permitted by law, such as the use of service providers or sharing with your
Agency Monitors as previously directed. (The CCPA refers this right as a “Do Not
Sell” request)
To exercise the California privacy rights described above, please submit your request via any of
the methods under the Contact Us section below. You can make such requests up to two times in
a rolling twelve-month period, and such requests will extend to information collected about you in
the prior 12 months.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. This generally means we will not
deny you goods or services, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level of service or
quality of goods, or suggest that you might receive a different price or level of quality for goods.
However, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your data, it may impact your experience with us,
and you may not be able to participate in certain programs or membership services which require
personal information to function.
This section does not apply to personal information we may collect from employees or job
applicants in those capacities. It also does not apply to personal information we may collect from
employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of businesses in the course of our provision
or receipt of business-related services.
18. INTERNATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
We have developed data practices designed to assure information is appropriately protected but
we cannot always know where personal information may be accessed or processed. While our
primary data centers are in the United States, we may transfer personal information to our offices
or service providers outside of the United States. If we disclose personal information to a third
party or to our employees outside of the United States, we will seek assurances that any
information we may provide to them is safeguarded adequately and in accordance with this Privacy
Policy and the requirements of applicable laws.
If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection
and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your personal information to the United
States or other countries which may not have data protection laws that provide the same level of
protection that exists in the European Economic Area. By providing your personal information,
you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
