Privacy Policy
Sharing
Information we collect may be shared with a variety of parties depending upon the purpose for and context in which that information was provided. In all cases where we share Personal Data with third party service providers acting on our behalf, we will use a "minimum necessary" standard to disclose only that information required for satisfying the purpose of or performing the service for which the information is disclosed. We generally transfer Personal Data according to the following:
Consent: We will share your Personal Data in accordance with your consent for us to do so. By submitting any Personal Data via our Sites or by calling a number published on our Sites you are providing consent for us to share your Personal Data with Partners in our Partner Network, and for those Partners to share your Personal Data with Contractors.
Partner Network: When you submit a request for a quote, we may share your Personal Data with Partners in our Partner Network who pay us to provide this service. Our Partners may use your Personal Data to connect you with a Contractor to assist you with your Torts projects and may share your Personal Data with such Contractor in order to contact you to offer its services. If you provide a mobile phone number to us you are explicitly granting us, and any Partner or Contractor with whom you are matched by our service, permission to call and send text messages to that number to respond to your request and to contact you at that number via phone call, text message, an auto-dialer or recorded message, which we or our Partners or Contractors may do at our discretion. Note that Partners and Contractors are third parties. Any Personal Data transferred to a Partner or Contractor as part of our services, is no longer under our control and is subject to the privacy policies of such Partner or Contractor.
Service Providers: In connection with our general business operations, to enable certain features, and in connection with our other legitimate business interests, we may share your Personal Data with service providers or sub-processors who provide certain services or process data on our behalf. Our contracts with these service providers dictate that they only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and you consent to our sharing of information with these parties by using our Sites subject to this Policy.
Affiliates: In order to streamline certain business operations, develop products and services that better meet the interests and needs of our customers, and inform our customers about relevant products and services, we may share your Personal Data with any of our current or future Affiliates. You hereby agree to our sharing some or all of your information and Personal Data with our Affiliates.
Third-Party Partners: When you complete an online inquiry form to which you were referred by a third-party partner, any information collected through an online inquiry form hosted on the Sites may be shared with the referring third party partner. We may share your Personal Data with third parties for marketing or adverting purposes, as permitted by law. For example, when you sign up for a webinar co-hosted by us and a third-party partner, we may share your Personal Data with the third-party partner. Third party partners may use your Personal Data for their own purposes subject to their own privacy policies.
Business Transactions: Your Personal Data may be processed in the event of a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, liquidation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets. For example, Personal Data may be disclosed (subject to confidentiality restrictions) during the due diligence process for a potential transaction or may part of the assets transferred, in such case the acquiring company will possess any rights granted to us under this Policy.
Legal Disclosures: In limited circumstances, we may without notice to you or your consent, access and disclose your Personal Data any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you to the extent we believe such disclosure is legally required, to prevent or respond to a crime, to investigate violations of our Terms of Use, or in the vital interests of us or any person. Note, these disclosures may be made to governments that do not ensure the same degree of protection of your Personal Data. We may, in our sole discretion (but without any obligation), object to the disclosure of your Personal Data to such parties.
Retention
We retain Personal Data for so long as necessary to service the purpose(s) for which your Personal Data was processed and for a reasonable time thereafter, or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. While retention requirements can vary by jurisdiction, we generally apply the retention periods noted below:
Site Activity: We may store any information about your activity on our Sites or any Other Data created, posted or shared by you on our Sites for as long as we deem it necessary or until you provide specific instructions to delete it, which may be indefinitely, or where a valid business reason exists for such storage such as maintaining the integrity of our systems and logs or for the establishment or defense of legal claims, audit and crime prevention purposes.
Marketing: We store information used for marketing purposes indefinitely until you unsubscribe. When you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we add your contact information to our suppression list to ensure we respect your unsubscribe request.
Cookie Data: We retain any information collected via cookies, clear gifs, flash cookies, webpage counters and other technical or analytics tools up to one year from the expiry of the cookie or date of collection. Cookies owned by third parties may have other retention periods.
Call Recording: As required by applicable law, we will inform you that a call will be recorded before doing so. Any recorded telephone calls with you may be retained for a period of up to six years.
