  1. Third Parties

We may disclose Personal Information to the following types of third parties for the purposes described in this policy:

(a) Service providers. Sometimes, we need to use third party Service Providers in order to provide and support our Services.  We will tell you we are working with a Service Provider whenever reasonably possible, and you may request at any time the names of our Service Providers. Just like with the other third parties we work with, these third party Service Providers enter into a contract that requires them to use your Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with this policy.

SECURITY

  1. Notice of Breach of Security

If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our system that materially affects you, then DocuData will notify you as soon as possible and later report the action we took in response.

  1. Safeguarding Your Information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information.

COMPLIANCE

  1. We Operate in Canada

Our webservers are located in the United States and our offices are located in Canada, so your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in Canada or the United States. While the data protection, privacy, and other laws of Canada might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, we take many steps to protect your privacy.  By using our Websites, you understand and consent to the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of your information to our facilities in Canada and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this policy.

  1. Accuracy of Data, Transparency, and Choice

We do our best to keep your data accurate and up to date, to the extent that you provide us with the information we need to do so. If your data changes (for example, if you have a new email address), then you are responsible for notifying us of those changes. Upon request, we will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your Personal Information.

We will retain your information for as long as needed. We may also retain and use your information in order to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our Agreements. As explained in Sections 6 and 8 of this policy, DocuData shares your Personal Information with Service Providers in order to provide and support our Services.

  1. Access

We will give an individual access to any Personal Information we hold about them within 30 days of any request for that information. Individuals may request to access, correct, amend or delete information we hold about them by contacting us here. Unless it is prohibited by law, we will remove any Personal Information about an individual from our servers at your or their request. There is no charge for an individual to access or update their Personal Information.

  1. Do Not Track Disclosure

“Do Not Track” is a standard that is currently under development. Because it is not yet finalized, DocuData adheres to the standards in this policy and does not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.
