This EagleExpress Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the EagleExpress Terms of Use. The term “Marquette,” “Company,” “we,” and “us” refers to Marquette University, which operates the EagleExpress for the on-campus transportation of its students.

This Privacy Policy explains how Marquette and its provider Via Transportation Inc. (“Via”) may:

• collect,
• use, and
• disclose information we obtain through the Service.

The “Service” means any website, mobile application, or Internet service under Marquette or its technology provider’s control, whether partial or otherwise, in connection with providing the EagleExpress online platform that connects users with rides. Each reservation a user makes through the Service is a “Reservation,” and each ride taken through a Reservation is a “Ride.” “Member” means any Marquette community member who uses the Service to make Reservations and take Rides. “Driver” means any driver engaged by Marquette to provide Rides to Members.

“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, geolocation, or phone number. Personal information does not include information that is anonymized so that a third party can not identify a specific individual.
