If applicable pursuant to your use of certain software services and there is any conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Master License Agreement, the terms of the Master License Agreement shall prevail.

Information We Collect 

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information and Personal Information you provide to us through your use of the Service. We collect information and Personal Information when you browse our Service, including our websites, interact with our emails or advertisements, open our mobile apps, subscribe to our blog or emails, request a demo or pricing, sign up to use the PIPELINE, TRAINER, PLANNER, INSIGHTS or VIEWER services, or otherwise contact us.

If you or your firm registers as a paid subscriber of the Service, you will gain access to certain restricted portions of the Service. For these restricted portions of the Service, we collect information and Personal Information when you do things such as log-in, take our lessons, establish your goals and strategies, utilize any functionality, or otherwise interact with us.

Personal Information means information that identifies, relates to, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or household, including identifiers such as a real name, alias, a device identification number, location data, an online identifier, commercial information (including products or services purchased), or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person, or as further defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). We indicate in this Privacy Policy the information and Personal Information we collect from you.

The categories of information and Personal Information we collect and have collected in the last 12 months include the following:

  • Contact Data, including your first and last name, postal address, phone number, and email address.
  • Company Data, including your company’s name and postal address.
  • Login information for authorized users, including usernames and passwords.
  • Billing Data, including payment instrument number (such as a credit or debit card number), expiration date, and security code as necessary to process payments.
  • Demographic Data, including your age, gender, country, profession, title, and industry niche.
  • Strategy Data, including your goals and strategies, and your clients, prospects, and referral sources.
  • Content, including the content of messages you send to us, such as feedback and reviews you write, or questions and information you provide to customer support.

You may choose to voluntarily submit other information to us that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.

Information We Automatically Collect

In addition to the above information, we automatically collect information and Personal Information when you use the Service. The categories of information we automatically collect and have collected in the last 12 months include the following:

  • Service Use Data, including data about the features you use, the pages you visit, the emails and advertisements you view, the time of day you browse, and your referring and exiting pages.
  • Device Connectivity and Configuration Data, including data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and device identifiers such as IP address, MAC address, and Ad Id (e.g., IDFA or AAID).
  • Location Data, including imprecise location data (e.g., location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level) and, with your consent, precise location data (e.g., latitude/longitude data).

We use various current – and later – developed technologies to automatically collect this information and Personal Information, including the following:

  • Log Files. A log file is a file that records events that occur in connection with your use of the Service.
  • Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your device’s hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your browser a unique number that acts as a tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Service and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising off the Service. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. However, not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Service unavailable to you. Our cookies cannot read data from other parts of your computer. If you would like more technical information about how cookies work, take a look at http://www.cookiecentral.com. As stated above, you must enable cookies on your Web browser for the Service to function correctly. If you are concerned about information contained in a cookie, you may delete the file(s) at the end of each browser session. View your browser’s help file for more information on cookies (Click “Help” in the toolbar of most browsers for instructions). Click-stream data is information that describes the page-by-page paths you take as you browse through our Service. Using cookies, we track and store this information to help us positively customize your user experience. We may use click-stream data in the aggregate to provide improved services to groups of users who behave similarly. We may also use it on an individual basis to improve your specific user experience.
  • A pixel (also known as a web beacon) is code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisements that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or another party to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from other parties that allow us to understand which of our pages, products, and services are most popular, track our conversions, generate statistics and develop marketing plans, bring you advertising off the Service, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Service with other third party’s services.
  • Device Fingerprinting. Device fingerprinting is the process of analyzing and combining sets of information elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, in order to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your device and apps.
  • App Technologies. There are a variety of tracking technologies that may be included in our apps, and these are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our apps may include another party’s SDKs, which is code that sends information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to understand which of our pages, products, and services are most popular, track our conversions, generate statistics and develop marketing plans, bring you advertising off the Service, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Service with another party’s services.
  • Location-Identifying Technologies. GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and other location-aware technologies may be used to collect precise location data when you enable location-based services through your device. Location data may be used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.

For further information on tracking technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, see “Analytics and Advertising” and “Your Rights and Choices” below.

Information Provided Through Integrations

Certain restricted portions of the Service, including our VIEWER portal, allow our clients to integrate and view data from hundreds of services ranging from social media platforms to enterprise management services. In order to integrate those services, our clients must provide us with their account credentials for such third-party services. We integrate the services of other parties at the direction of our clients, and our clients have the ability to unlink them at any time (as further set forth in “Your Rights and Choices below”). Any information collected through the integrated services is processed on behalf of our clients. We do not control what information our clients choose to provide to us through these integrations, and our clients are solely responsible for the use of such exported, shared, or displayed data.

For further information on other services, please see “Other Services” below.

Information from Other Sources

We also obtain information from other sources. To the extent we combine such sourced information with information we have collected about you, we will treat the combined information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. The categories of sources we collect and have collected information from in the last 12 months include the following:

  • Social networks when you reference our Service or grant permission to us to access your data on one or more of these services.
  • Partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities.
  • Publicly-available sources such as data in the public domain.

Please note, we do not control third party’s use of your information and Personal Information and you must separately review such third party’s applicable privacy policies and terms and conditions of use.

Use of Information

We collect and use information and Personal Information for business and commercial purposes in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Our business purposes for collecting and using information, including in the last 12 months, include to:

  • Maintain, develop, and provide our Service, including managing accounts.
  • Perform services requested by you, fulfill orders, and process your requests.
  • Communicate with you, including to respond to your comments, questions, and requests, and provide customer service.
  • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, information regarding changes to our policies, and support and administrative messages.
  • Authenticate Service visits/usage.
  • Prevent and address fraud, breach of policies or terms, including this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, and threats or harm.
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities.
  • Conduct research, including focus groups and surveys.

  • Fulfill any other business or commercial purposes at your direction or disclosed to you and with your consent.

Information and Personal Information provided to us by or at the direction of a client through restricted portions of the Service, including the PIPELINE, TRAINER, PLANNER, or VIEWER portals, is used for purposes of providing the applicable services to that client. Our processing of such client data is governed by the terms of our service agreements with our clients and their privacy policies, and not this Privacy Policy. In the event we are permitted to process client data for our own purposes, we will process the client data in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for how our clients treat the information we collect on their behalf, and we recommend you review their own privacy policies. 

Notwithstanding the above, we may use information that does not identify you (including information that has been de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized) without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law. For information on your rights and choices regarding how we use your information, please see “Your Rights and Choices” below.

Sharing of Information

We share information and Personal Information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. The types of entities to whom we disclose and have disclosed information and Personal Information with in the last 12 months, include the following:

  • With our agents, consultants and other service providers in connection with their work on our behalf. Service providers assist us with services such as payment processing, data analytics, marketing, promotional services, website hosting, third party integration, and technical support. Service providers are prohibited from retaining, using or disclosing your information for any purpose other than to perform the services to us, although we may permit them to use aggregate information which does not identify you or de-identified data for any purposes except as prohibited by applicable law.
  • With our affiliates and related entities for customer support, marketing, and other internal business purposes.
  • With our vendors and other parties involving in providing analytics and advertising. These parties may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. For more information on advertising and analytics, see the “Analytics and Advertising” section below.
  • With our clients in connection with processing information on their behalf as a service provider. For example, if a client utilizes an integration, we share the data provided through the integration with that client. We also share information with our clients in order to allow us and them to comply with applicable law. Further, if a client has multiple user accounts, the primary account holder may, through their account settings, allow for information to be automatically shared between and among the accounts, and with the client’s business development managers, Chief Marketing Officer, and business development support staff.
  • With our business partners in connection with offering you co-branded services or engaging in joint marketing activities.
  • With participants in our Service such as contact information sharing as part of e.g. roundtables or webinars.
  • When we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities, to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of Ackert, our clients, or others, or in connection with our Terms of Use and other agreements.
  • To facilitate requests at your direction.
  • To fulfill any other business or commercial purpose disclosed to you or with your consent.

We may also disclose information and Personal Information:

  • In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
  • In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, to establish or exercise our legal rights, to defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

We will not “sell” as the term is generally understood information provided to us by a client through the restricted portions of the Service, including the PIPELINE, TRAINER, PLANNER, or VIEWER portals, or share such information for our own marketing purposes.

Without limiting the foregoing, in our sole discretion, we may share aggregated  information which does not identify you or de-identified information about you with third parties or affiliates for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law. For information on your rights and choices regarding how we share your information, please see the section entitled “Your Rights and Choices” below.

Third Parties

Our Service contains content from and hyperlinks to websites, locations, platforms, and services operated and owned by third parties. These third parties’ services may use tracking technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit information from you. The information collected and stored by such third parties, whether through our Service or another services,  remains subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere. We suggest you read the privacy policies (and terms and conditions of use) on those third parties’ services.

Confidentiality

To the extent that you participate in any services provided by Ackert that include any third parties, such as coaching calls or group trainings, you agree that any private information disclosed by any participant including, without limitation, business plans, clients or targets, or personal information, is confidential and may not be disclosed or discussed with any third parties outside of the service being provided.

Technology Integrations

If you are a client, you can enable technology integrations through certain restricted portions of the Service, including the VIEWER portal. In order to integrate the services of third parties, you must provide us with your account credentials for such third parties’ services. We integrate these services at your direction, and you have the ability to unlink them at any time (as further set forth in “Your Rights and Choices below”). We do not control what information you choose to provide to us through these integrations, and you are solely responsible for the use of such exported, shared, or displayed data.

Social Media

We may offer our content on social networks such as a Facebook and Twitter. Any information you provide to us when you engage with our content (such as through our brand page) is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Also, if you publicly reference our Service on another party’s service (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with us in a tweet or post or reviewing our services), we may use your reference on or in connection with our Service.

Analytics and Advertising

Our Service contains tracking technologies, some of which may be owned and operated by other parties. For example, we use tracking technologies from analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze your use of the Service, compile statistic reports on the Service’s activity, and provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We may also work with ad serving services, advertisers, and other parties to serve advertisements other services. These parties may use tracking technologies on our Service, emails, and advertisements, and on other services to track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you, including on other services after you have left the Service (“Interest-based Advertising”).

We may serve ads on and through other services, such as Facebook and Google, that are targeted to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Service or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This would be done by us uploading a customer list to the service or incorporating a pixel from the service on our Service, and the service matching common factors between our data and their data.

As indicated above, vendors and other third parties may act as our service providers, or in certain contexts, independently decide how to process your information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their individual privacy policies and terms of use.

For further information on tracking technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, please see “Information We Automatically Collect” above and “Your Rights and Choices” below.

Your Rights and Choices

Account Information

Our clients can access, update, or remove certain information in their accounts at any time by visiting the “My Account” section of the applicable service or by contacting us as set forth in “Contact Us” below. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note that we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Tracking Technology Choices

  • Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to decline or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
  • Mobile apps and Location Data. You can stop all collection of information via an app by uninstalling the app. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you. You can stop all collection of precise location data through an app by uninstalling the app or withdrawing your consent through your device settings.
  • Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Service may not function correctly.

Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising

You can opt-out of your data being used by Google Analytics through cookies by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Some of the other parties that may collect information from or about you on our Service, emails, and advertisements in order to provide more relevant advertising to you participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. This program offers a centralized location where users can make choices about the use of their information for online behavioral advertising. To learn more about the DAA and your opt-out options for their members, please visit (i) for website opt-out, http://www.aboutads.info/choices; and (ii) for mobile app opt-out, http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. In addition, some of these other parties may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

Please note that if you opt-out of online behavioral advertising using any of these methods, the opt-out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt-out. Further, opting-out only means that the selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks).

To opt out of us using your data for Matched Ads, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below and specify that you wish to opt out of matched ads. We will request that the applicable service not serve you matched ads based on information we provide to it. Alternatively, you may directly contact the applicable service to opt out.

You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).

We are not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any other parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

Communications

  • You can opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by following the instructions as provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link, or emailing us at the email address set forth in “Contact Us” below with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the email. Please note that you cannot opt-out of non-promotional emails, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or our ongoing business relations.
  • Push Notifications. If you have opted-in to receive push notification on your device, you can opt-out at any time by adjusting the permissions in your device or uninstalling our app.

 Integrations

If you are a client that has utilized any integrations through certain restricted portions of the Service, including the VIEWER portal, you can unlink those integrations at any time through your account settings or by contacting us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.

Children

The Service is targeted to adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are under 18 or the applicable legal age of majority, please do not use the Service or send us any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected information from children, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.

Data Security

Protecting your information is a shared responsibility, so we encourage our users to keep their passwords and other sensitive information private and secure.  We maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, transmissions made on or through the Internet are vulnerable to attack and cannot be guaranteed to be secure. Any Personal Information will be encrypted with industry standard security such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL). If accessing the Service through your computer, while on a secure page, the lock icon in the address bar of your internet browser becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. While we strive to ensure the safety and security of your information, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. To protect the confidentiality of your Personal Information, you must keep your account secure and your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person.  Please advise us right away if you believe your Personal Information or other information has been compromised in any way.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims and damages arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

Data Transfer

We are based in the U.S. and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law.  If you are accessing the Service from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Service may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Service or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If your data is collected in Europe, we will transfer your personal data subject to appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND TERMS

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OVER PRIVACY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE SERVICE’S TERMS OF USE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY REMEDIES, LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONTAINED THEREIN).

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we retain your information for business purposes, for as long as your account is active, and as long as is reasonably necessary to provide our clients with services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to revise and reissue this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy. If any changes made to this Privacy Policy are material, a notice may be posted on the Service, and you may also be notified by email. Your continued use of the Service after the changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes.  If you do not agree to the changes, please discontinue your use of the Service.

Additional Disclosures for Nevada Residents

Nevada law (NRS 603A.340) requires each business to establish a designated request address where Nevada consumers may submit requests directing the business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us as at info@ackertinc.com.

Additional Disclosures for California Residents

Service Provider

Our Service is intended to provide information and services to clients. You understand and agree that information collected about you is solely within the context of (i) your role as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor or (ii) Ackert providing or receiving a product or service to or from your employer.

We acknowledge that you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) in connection with the Personal Information we process on behalf of our clients. If your Personal Information has been processed by us on behalf of a client and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such Personal Information, please inquire with our client directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of the client on whose behalf we processed your Personal Information. We will refer your request to that client, and will support them to the extent required by applicable Law in responding to your request.

Exercising Your Rights under the CCPA:

Pursuant to the above, you can contact the client directly or us and we will refer your request to that client and support them to the extent required by applicable Law in responding to your if you wish to: (i) access a copy of the Personal Information held about you (including what categories of Personal Information has been collected or sold about you; the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or disclosing the Personal Information; the categories of third parties with whom your Personal Information is shared; and the specific pieces of Personal Information collected about you); (ii) correct any items of Personal Information held about you; (iii) have any items of Personal Information held about you erased or object to the processing of such items of Personal Information; and/or if applicable pursuant to the CCPA, receive a free copy of your Personal Information within 45 days of your verifiable request in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable or commonly used electronic format on request.

You may need to verify your identity before receiving a response to such requests. Please note that under the CCPA, we are not required to delete information that is necessary to perform certain actions as outlined in the CCPA (e.g. to complete a transaction for which the information was collected or to provide the goods or services requested by you). You will not be discriminated against in retaliation for exercising the above rights and rights under the CCPA.

Additional Disclosures for Data Subjects in Europe

Data Processor

Data protection laws in Europe make a distinction between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as “controllers”) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as “processors”). Ackert acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our Service, emails, and advertisements. However, in most instances, Ackert acts a processor on behalf of a client, a separate legal entity, which is the controller. For example, when you log-in to restricted areas of the Service, the data collected through those areas is processed on behalf of our client. Please visit the applicable client’s privacy policy for information about their privacy practices. Any questions that you may have relating to the processing of personal data by Ackert on behalf of the client and your rights under data protection law should be directed to the client as the controller, not to Ackert.

Lawful Basis for Processing

Data protection laws in Europe require a “lawful basis” for processing personal data. Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given your consent to our processing for a specific purpose, either to us or to our service providers, partners, or clients; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to comply with a legal obligation; or (c) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Ackert or a third party controller, including our clients, and fundamental rights do not override these interests.

Your Rights

If you are a data subject in Europe, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you through the Service. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you through the Service. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.

You may exercise your rights by submitting a written request to us at the address set forth in “Contact Us” above. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.

If your personal data has been processed by us on behalf of a client and you wish to exercise any rights you have with such personal data, please inquire with our client directly. If you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide the name of our client on whose behalf we processed your personal data. We will refer your request to that client, and will support them to the extent required by applicable law in responding to your request.

Complaints

If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal data or response to your requests regarding your personal data, you may contact us or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a data protection regulator, and would welcome you directing an inquiry first to us at the address set forth in “Contact Us” above.
