This Privacy Statement details the steps we take to protect your personal information when you visit any of our websites or applications that contain a link to this Privacy Statement (collectively, our “Sites”) or when you contact us. It describes how we process personal information relating to you, including the types of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the types of third parties with which we share it, and any rights you may have concerning such information.

2. Our use of information

We may use the personal information collected via our Sites or when you contact us for purposes that include:

    • Services and transactions. We may use your personal information to deliver services to you or carry out transactions you have requested, including, but not limited to, providing information on Company products or services you have purchased or otherwise use, customer service requests, and facilitating the use of our Sites.

    • Administering and protecting our business and Sites. We may use your personal information to administer and protect our business and our Sites, including troubleshooting, system maintenance, support, reporting, and data hosting.

    • Improving our business, Sites, products and services. We may use your personal information to perform business analyses or for other purposes that help us to develop and improve the quality of our business, Sites, products, and services (including new products and services), for example, by customizing our Sites to your particular preferences or interests.

    • Marketing. In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we may use your personal information to inform you of products or services that may be of interest to you and to otherwise communicate with you about offerings, events and news, surveys, special offers, and related topics.

Where permitted by law, we may combine the information that we collect via our Sites with other information we hold about you (such as information about your use of our products and services) to offer you an improved and consistent customer experience when interacting with us or for other purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement.

3. The legal basis on which we process information

Where required by law, we will ensure there is a legal basis for the processing of your personal information. In most cases, the legal basis will be that:

    • the processing is necessary for the performance of the services we provide to you;

    • the processing is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, court orders or subpoenas;

    • the processing is based on your consent to the processing of your personal information for one or more specified purposes (e.g. marketing); or

    • the processing is necessary to meet our legitimate interests, for example, to develop and improve our Sites, products, and/or services for the benefit of our customers.

4. Anonymizing information

In accordance with applicable law, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be used to identify you. Anonymized information is not considered personal and, therefore, not subject to this Privacy Statement. We may collect, use, and share anonymized information for any purpose.

5. How long we keep information

The period during which we store your personal information varies depending on the purpose of the processing. For example, we store personal information needed to provide you with products and services or to facilitate transactions you have requested for so long as you are a customer of the Company. We store your personal information for marketing purposes until you have opted out of receiving further direct marketing communications following applicable law. If you submit an employment application via our Sites, we will retain details of your application as outlined in the privacy statement or other notice made available to you in connection with your application or as otherwise required by law. In all other cases, we store your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement, after which it is either anonymized (where permitted by applicable law), deleted, or destroyed.

6. Disclosure of information

We may share your personal information with selected third parties under applicable law, including as set out below.

    • Our group companies. We may share your personal information with our affiliates and group companies as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement.

    • Service providers. We may share your personal information with companies we have contracted to provide services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, conducting surveys, processing transactions, analyzing our Sites, and performing analyses to improve the quality of our business, Sites, products, and services. We require these service providers to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.

    • Distributors and other trusted business partners. We may share your personal information with third parties that distribute our products and other trusted business partners for purposes that include allowing those third parties to send marketing communications to you. Such sharing of personal information for marketing purposes will be performed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

    • Disclosure in connection with transactions. In connection with certain transactions, we may disclose some or all your personal information to financial institutions, government entities and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfilling the transaction.

    • Disclosure for other reasons. We may disclose personal information if required or authorized to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property or, in urgent circumstances, to protect the personal safety of any individual.

7. Security

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use various security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, including implementing such security measures as may be required by applicable law. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Sites over networks we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.

The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a User ID and password to access the Sites, you are responsible for keeping those log-on credentials confidential and not revealing them to others.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

    • What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your hard disk or your browser's memory when you visit one of our Sites. Cookies are useful because they help arrange the content and layout of our Sites and allow us to recognize those computers or other devices that have been to our Sites before. Cookies do many different jobs, such as allowing our Sites to remember your preference settings and helping us to enhance the usability and performance of our Sites and your experience using them.

Our Sites also may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count the number of users who have visited specific pages. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

    • Categories of cookies and similar technologies that we use

The type of cookie or similar technology that may be used on our Sites can be put into 1 of 4 categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality & Profile, and Advertising.

      1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around our Sites and use their features, particularly regarding information searches and order placement. The services you have asked for cannot be provided without these cookies. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

      1. Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our Sites, for example, which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies collect information that is used to improve how our Sites work. Without these cookies, we cannot learn how our sites perform and make relevant improvements that could improve your browsing experience. Examples of performance cookies that our Sites use include Google and Adobe Analytics (see further discussion below).

      1. Functionality & Profile Cookies

These cookies allow our Sites to store information you provide, such as your site language preferences, and to store technical information useful for your interactions with our Sites. For instance, they remember your user ID and elements of your user profile. They also ensure that your experience using the Sites and our marketing efforts are relevant to you. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies will not be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Without these cookies, a website cannot remember your previous choices or personalize your browsing experience.

      1. Advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies

These cookies or similar technologies may be used to deliver more relevant advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. These cookies may track your visits to other websites. Without these cookies or other technologies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.

We permit third-party advertising partners to use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites when you use our Sites, including products you browse or purchase and your location. Examples of advertising cookies or similar technologies that we use include Google AdWords and Facebook Pixels.

Setting your cookie preference

You may be asked to consent to our use of cookies as described in this Privacy Statement by way of a cookie information banner upon your first use of our Sites. You can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies and you can withdraw your consent at any time by modifying the settings of your browser to reject or disable cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of the Sites or other websites that you visit.

Our use of web analytics

We use industry-standard web analytics to track visits to our sites. These analytics are provided by Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and Facebook Pixels (“Web Analytics Providers”). The information generated by the cookie about your use of our Sites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by our Web Analytic Providers on their servers. The Web Analytics Providers will use this information to evaluate your use of our sites, compile reports on website activity for website operators, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The Web Analytics Providers may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on their behalf.
You may opt out of Google, Adobe or Facebook web analytics or otherwise control how these technologies are used when you visit our sites, by following the instructions here:

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Preferences page, and if you want to you can opt-out of interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin or visiting https://www.google.com/settings/ads

On Facebook, users can opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting and learn more atwww.aboutads.info/choices and https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads

We may also use other 3rd party remarketing services and/or other online advertising services such as Bing Ads, Facebook, Linkedin, and others.

We also may use Google’s “cross-device functionality” to show ads to signed-in Google users who have chosen to enable Google to associate their web and app browsing history with their Google account, and to use such information from their Google account to personalize ads.

Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated identifiers associated with users’ Google Accounts (and therefore, personal information). Google Analytics temporarily joins these identifiers to our Google Analytics data in order for you to be shown ads of websites like ours, on devices other than the device you used when you first visited our website. To disable this, you can do so inside your Google account and adjust your privacy settings.

9. This Website May Also Use “Call Tracking” Numbers

This website may also track phone calls made to the phone number(s) listed on its web pages or phone numbers listed in ads on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, or other platforms displaying our phone number on ads. When a caller makes a call to a call tracking number, standard callerID information is passed onto the 3rd party call tracking service and made available to us. In addition, information such as the keyword used and other information related to the ad that was clicked may also be provided to us. Callers wishing to minimize the information passed on to the service may block callerID information prior to making the call or may instead of calling, contact us using the email request form on our website.

10. Do Not Track

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the Sites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are even aware of them. We currently do not act in response to these signals.

11. Children's information

We do not knowingly collect information from children and do not target or direct our Sites to children. The meaning of “children” is subject to the laws and regulations in the jurisdiction in which you are located.

12. Links to other websites

Our Sites may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. We have no liability or responsibility for those websites, products, and services, their policies, or their collection or other processing of your personal information. The practices of those third parties concerning information collected through their websites, products, or services are governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those third parties.

13. Contact us

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Statement or our handling of your personal information, would like to lodge a complaint, or wish to contact our Data Protection Officer, please contact us using the contact information listed below. We will promptly address your concern and strive to reach a satisfactory resolution.

14. Supplementary Privacy Statement

A number of U.S. states have passed specific laws relating to data privacy, including California (the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended with effect from January 01, 2023, by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)), Virginia (Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act with effect from January 1, 2023), Colorado (Colorado Privacy Act with effect from July 01, 2023), Connecticut (Connecticut Data Privacy Act with effect from July 01, 2023) and Utah (Utah Consumer Privacy Act with effect from December 31, 2023).

These laws (and regulations relating to them) contain additional information that you may find helpful. For example, where these laws define particular terms (such as what constitutes personal information), those definitions apply here, too. Note also that many of these laws are still being refined, and further regulations are expected in the future, so we will update this U.S. State-specific privacy statement from time to time and encourage you to review it regularly.

This U.S. State-specific privacy statement only applies where any of the laws mentioned above apply and, in that case, takes precedence over our general U.S. privacy statement available on our website.

The Highlights

The sections below provide you with transparency over how we use your personal information, including the purposes for which we process it. To make this more understandable, we have provided non-exhaustive examples and use cases. We also describe what personal information we collect, from where we obtain it, how we use it, with whom we share it, and how we determine for how long to store it. We also summarize the rights you have regarding your personal information where the laws mentioned above apply, and how to exercise them.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information when we provide our products and services to you, otherwise interact with you, or use information about you. The term “personal information” (also called "personal data") means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household. It includes, for example, your name and other information relating to your use of our products and services.

We are required to inform you about the categories of personal information that we have collected from consumers within the last twelve (12) months by reference to a specific list.

Data collected by us, with examples:

(A)  Identifiers – this includes personal information such as your real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers. Use Case: When you buy a service from us, we collect your name and your address.

(B)  Categories of personal information described in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) – this includes your name, signature, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information.

Use Case: This category partially overlaps with Category A, above. When you pay for a subscription, we collect financial information. Similarly, you may provide us with information regarding your work or employer as part of legal services.

(C) Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law – this includes your race, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, gender expression, age. Use Case: When you enquire about our services and provide your title, we will address you accordingly (for example as Mr. or Mrs. or as you instruct us). Similarly, where you provide us with photos that depict you (for example, as part of a customer support interaction), those photos may indicate some of the characteristics mentioned above.

(D)  Commercial information – this includes records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. Use Case: In the provision of legal services relating to divorce, custody, child support, spousal support, modifications, appeals, or related legal services.

(E)  Internet or other electronic network activity information – this includes browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an Internet website, application, or advertisement. Use Case: When you interact with our website, we collect information about your activity on our website.

(F)  Geolocation data – this includes your general physical location or movements.

(G)  Sensory data – this includes audio, electronic, visual, thermal, or similar information.

(H) Sensitive Personal Information – this includes any information that identifies account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; and racial or ethnic origin. Use Case: This partially overlaps with (A), (C) and (F) above.

(I)  Inferences drawn from personal information listed in Categories (A) – (H) – this includes inferences drawn from any of the personal information collected to create a profile about you, reflecting your preferences, characteristics, behavior, or interests. Use Case: We use very limited profiling in relation to the products sold to professionals where we analyze purchasing histories to infer future demand. Some of our products also contain "smart" or "learning" features that adapt to how you use or interact with them.

Data not collected by us, with examples:

(J)  Biometric information – this includes imagery of the iris, retina, fingerprint, face, hand, palm, vein patterns, and voice recordings, from which an identifier template, such as a faceprint, a minutiae template, or a voiceprint, can be extracted, and keystroke patterns or rhythms, gait patterns or rhythms, and sleep, health, or exercise data that contain identifying information. Use Case: We do not collect biometric information.

(K)  Education information, as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99) – records that are directly related to a student and maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution. For example, class lists, grades and transcripts.

Sources of Personal Information

Below are the categories of sources from which we derived and collected personal information during the last 12 months:

Directly from you. The main source of personal information are our customers. For example, where you sign up for one of our services and as you use our products and services, you provide personal information directly to us.

Indirectly from our partners. Many of our products and services are aimed at professionals who, for example, install them in their customers’ homes. Where our partners provide our products and services to their customers and as they support their customers, our partners will send to us personal information relating to these customers. This also includes product trials and product pilots that we run in partnership with other companies as well as events that we run or sponsor where our partners provide us with personal information about their attendees.

Directly and indirectly via our websites and services. For example, when visitors or other members of the public who are not our customers or partners browse our website, we collect personal information about this.

Purposes of Collecting Your Personal Information

The business or commercial purposes for collecting your personal information during the last 12 months are described in our general U.S. privacy statement, which is available on our website under “Our use of information.” In summary (and as further specified in the general U.S. privacy statement), we process the personal information above, depending on the context and type of personal information, for the purposes of providing and personalizing our products and services to you and third parties appointed by you, such as expert witnesses and court-appointed experts;  securing our products and services; providing customer support and responding to your queries; resolving product or service issues and associated troubleshooting; personalized marketing and advertising (such as sending you newsletters with content that may be interesting to you, following your marketing preferences); product and feature research and development and as part of complying, protecting and enforcing our rights and legal obligations (for example, to detect and prevent fraud).

Retention Periods of Your Personal Information

The period during which we store your personal information varies depending on the purpose of the processing. For example, we store personal information needed to provide you with products and services, or to facilitate transactions you have requested, for so long as you are our customer. This period can be extended if we need to retain your personal information to comply with regulations and laws (for example, as part of meeting our financial auditing and record-keeping obligations). We store your personal information for marketing purposes until you have opted out of receiving further direct marketing communications in accordance with applicable law (but we retain the information regarding your opt-out so that we can ensure you do not receive marketing communications that you don't want to receive). If you submit an employment application via our sites, we will retain details of your application as set forth in the privacy statement or other notice made available to you in connection with your application or as otherwise required by law. In all other cases, we store your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement, following which time it is either anonymized (where permitted by applicable law), deleted or destroyed.

Selling and Sharing Your Personal Information

We have not sold personal information in the last 12 months, nor do we use your sensitive personal information (as defined in the CPRA) for purposes other than those you would reasonably expect, as described in this U.S. State-Specific Privacy Statement.

Like most other companies, we have disclosed personal information to our suppliers and (where this is part of the services you receive) your service providers for one or more business purposes in accordance with our general U.S. privacy statement (located on our website). For example, if a business evaluation is conducted by a third party for use in expert testimony, your information may be shared with them.

Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose

In the last 12 months we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for one or more of our business purposes:

-          (A) Identifiers

-          (B) Categories of personal information described in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e))

-          (C) Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law

-          (D) Commercial information

-          (E) Internet or other electronic network activity information

-          (F) Geolocation data

-          (G) Sensory data

-          (H) Sensitive Information

Categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information for a business purpose

In the last 12 months we have disclosed personal information for one or more of the business purposes to the following categories of third parties:

With our service providers. For example, some of our IT infrastructure is provided by leading data hosting providers that store our data (including personal information) for us.

With other companies within our group. For example, some of our affiliated companies provide services to other companies in the Haeberle Law group and personal information is shared in this context.

As required to comply with, enforce or protect our rights and obligations and as otherwise legally required. For example, where we are audited, relevant personal information may be shared with the auditor as part of the audit. Similarly, where we are ordered by a competent court to share personal information, we will comply with such court order.

Your Rights

If you are a consumer and resident in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you have (or will have, once the relevant laws enter into force) specific rights regarding your personal information. We have summarized these rights below.

Note that many of these rights are not absolute – that means that in some cases, we may only partially fulfil your request. Also, note that these rights only apply to personal information that is subject to the laws set out at the beginning of this U.S. State-specific Privacy Statement – that means that your rights as described below will not apply to the extent we have anonymized, aggregated or deidentified your personal information (so that it can no longer be reasonably linked to you) or where your personal data is otherwise not regulated by these laws (for example, health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, and particular sections of the Vehicle Code).

Your right to request specific personal information

You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, over the last 12 months. We will provide this information to you when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic and portable form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days, you will be notified prior to the extension.

Note that there are several exceptions to this right as described in the relevant laws – this means that we will not provide specific personal information where doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other consumers, for example.

Your right to request deletion

You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. We will delete the personal information to which your request applies as soon as reasonably possible when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you.

Note that there are several exceptions to this right as described in the relevant laws – this means that we will not delete all personal information in all circumstances. For example, we will not delete personal information that is necessary to:

-          Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us.

-          Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity.

-          Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the business’ deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.

-          To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with the business.

-          Comply with a legal obligation.

-          Otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

We will provide this information in respect of the last 12 months and by reference to the categories of personal information we have listed in the "Information we collect" section above. We will do this when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days and in such instances, you will be notified prior to the extension.

We will provide this information in respect of the last 12 months and by reference to the categories of personal information we have listed in the "Information we collect" section above as well as the categories of third parties with whom we have shared personal information (see “Sharing your personal information”). We will do this when we receive a request that can be verified as having come from you and subject to any exemptions that apply under the CCPA and CPRA. We normally provide this information within 45 days in electronic form. In some cases, we may need to extend this period for a further 45 days and in such instances, you will be notified prior to the extension.

Your right to request that we correct your data

You have the right to correct personal information relating to you that is inaccurate and that we have collected. In some cases, you can do this by going to the page on which you provided the information. You can help us maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying us of any change to your mailing address, phone number, or e-mail address.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise your rights under the laws set out above. – this means that unless permitted by law, we will not do any of the following as a result of you exercising your rights under these laws:

1)       Deny goods or services to the consumer.

2)       Charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.

3)       Provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you.

4)       Suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Exercising your rights

You can email us at privacy@haeberlelaw.com to exercise any of your legal rights relating to your personal information.

Your request must (1) provide sufficient information so that we can reasonably verify who you are; and (2) describe your request in sufficient detail so that we can reasonably determine whether your request is valid and what scope it has.

Once we have received your request, we will review it to ensure it is valid. We will then attempt to verify your identity, which normally involves matching one or more pieces of information you provided in your request to information we hold about you (or the person on whose behalf you submit the request). You must not obtain or seek to obtain personal information relating to otherpersons (unless you are duly authorized or legally entitled to do so) as this can constitute a criminal offense. Some of your rights can only be exercised twice in any 12-month period.

While we do not normally charge a fee if you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA, we may do so if you exercise your rights in a way that is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that we will charge a fee for a particular request, we will provide you with a cost estimate in advance before completing your request.

 

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We may occasionally update this Privacy Statement. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top and bottom of the Privacy Statement and take such additional steps as may be required by law.
