In respect to the account data, waiver data, and payment data (as defined below) that you provide to us, we are acting as a data processor on behalf of the service provider, who will be acting as the data controller in respect to such data. We will never store or control this data. You should direct any requests or queries you have regarding this data to the data controller, your service provider.
1. How we use your personal data

This account data may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, gender, employment details, and a photograph of you. We may use this data to create your account with the service provider when you sign up. This account data may be updated each time you complete a document through our software.

9. Your California Privacy Rights: Notice to California Customers and Opt-Out Information. Residents of the State of California, under certain provisions of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed certain personal data, as defined under California law, during the preceding year for third party direct marketing purposes. You are limited to one request per calendar year. In your request, you must supply appropriate evidence of your identity and attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. California residents are entitled to know how WaiverKing, Inc. responds to “Do Not Track” signals. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform, so a standard technological response has not yet been developed by the appropriate technology communities. For this reason, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals currently. To opt out of direct advertising on our website, please send a request to the address above. The effect of an opt-out will be to stop direct advertising, but it will still allow the collection of usage data for certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics, and internal online services operation purposes).
