Sources of Personal Information
We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following sources:
- From you. For example, during account creation on the Services.
- From documents. For example, if a document you submit to the Services contains incidental personal information such as a name or email address.
- Automatically. For example, through your use of the Services or through cookies.
- From third parties. For example, third-party vendors that we use to provide the Services.
Personal Information in Customer Documents. When we process personal information contained in documents submitted by our customers, we act as a service provider or contractor under the CCPA/CPRA, as applicable. Our customers determine the purposes for which such information is processed, and we process it on their behalf in accordance with our Terms of Service and applicable data protection laws.
Use of Personal Information
We may use or disclose personal information we collect for business purposes or commercial purposes as described in the "Use of Your Personal Information" section of our Privacy Policy. If we decide to collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes, we will update this notice.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may use or disclose, and may have used or disclosed in the last twelve (12) months, the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes:
- Category A: Identifiers
- Category B: California Customer Records
- Category D: Commercial information
- Category F: Internet or network activity
- Category G: Geolocation data
- Category I: Professional or employment-related information (employment context only)
When we disclose personal information for a business or commercial purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to keep that information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating a consumer's personal information to a third party for valuable consideration.
We do not sell or share personal information, as those terms are defined in the CCPA/CPRA. We disclose personal information to service providers, such as hosting, payment and advertising-measurement providers, only under contracts that limit their use of it to providing services to us.
Personal Information of Minors
Our Services are not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from individuals under 18 through their use of the Services. If we learn that an individual under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Your Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:
- Right to know / access. You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, our purposes for collecting or selling it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
- Right to delete. You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (for example, where retention is necessary to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with legal obligations, or exercise free speech rights).
- Right to correct. You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
- Right to opt out of sale/sharing. If we sell or share personal information in the future, you may have the right to opt out as provided by applicable law.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information. Where applicable, you may have the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information. We use account credentials solely for authentication. Sensitive personal information contained in customer-uploaded documents is processed on behalf of our customers.
- Right to non-discrimination. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.
