This Privacy Policy explains how Crime Law and its affiliated companies and subsidiaries worldwide (“we,” “us” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit Crime Law websites, web applications, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the “Site” or “Services”). If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Site. This Privacy Policy is not intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us, nor any rights you might have under applicable data privacy laws. Read this policy and make sure you fully understand our practices in relation to your personal information before you access or use any of our Services. If you read and fully understand this Privacy Policy, and remain opposed to our practices, you must immediately leave the Site and avoid or discontinue all use of any of our Services.
COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
Personal Information
We may collect information that may identify an individual or may with reasonable efforts cause the identification of an individual, or may be of private or sensitive nature (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information collected by us mainly consists of contact details, billing details (which are only collected from Users with Paid Services), details regarding a browsing or usage session (IP address, Geo-location and/or device unique identifier), details regarding connected third party accounts, scanned identification documents provided to us, correspondences, and any other Personal Information provided to us by Visitors or Users through their access to or use of the Services. Any Non-personal Information that is connected to Personal Information is deemed and treated by us as Personal Information, as long as such connection exists.
Non-Personal Information
We may collect information pertaining to a Visitor or un-identified User, which may be made available to us, or collected automatically via his/her use of the Services (“Non-personal Information”). Such Non-personal Information does not enable us to identify the Visitor or User from whom it was collected. The Non-personal Information collected by us mainly consists of technical and aggregated usage information, such as Visitors’ and Users’ browsing and ‘click-stream’ activity on the Services.
Other Information
We may collect Personal Information and Non-personal Information pertaining to visitors and users of our User’s websites or services (“Users-of-Users”), solely for and on our Users’ behalf.
We may collect information that is provided to us by our job candidates (“Applicants”), when they apply to any open positions.
How we Collect Information
When you visit, download, or use our Services, including when you browse the Website or any User Website, register a User Account, edit your User Website and upload information and content, we are aware of it and will usually gather, collect and record such uses, sessions and related information, either independently or with the help of third-party services. We also collect information from third party sources, and information which you provide to us voluntarily.
USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We collect Personal Information and Non-personal for the following purposes: (1) to provide, operate, develop, customize, and improve our Services; (2) to provide our Users with ongoing customer assistance and technical support; (3) to be able to contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalized service-related notices and promotional messages; (4) to facilitate, sponsor and offer contests, events and promotions, determine participants’ eligibility, monitor performance, contact winners and grant prizes and benefits; (5) to create aggregated statistical data and/or inferred Non-personal Information, which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services; (6) to enhance our data security and fraud prevention capabilities; (7) to consider Applicants’ candidacy for working at Crime Law ; and (8) to comply with any applicable laws and regulations.
We will only use your Personal Information when we are satisfied that our use of it is necessary: (1) to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you; (2) to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation we have; or (3) to support legitimate interests we have as a business, provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate, and that respects your privacy rights.
STORAGE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Visitors’, Users’ and Users-of-Users’ Personal Information may be maintained, processed and stored by us and our authorized affiliates and service providers in the United States of America, in Europe, and in other jurisdictions as necessary for the proper delivery of our Services and/or as may be required by law. Crime Law is based in the United States of America. Our affiliates and service and storage data providers that store or process your Personal Information on our behalf are each contractually committed to keep it protected and secured, in accordance with industry standards and regardless of any lesser legal requirements which may apply in their jurisdiction.
Applicants’ information will be maintained, processed and stored on our servers, and as necessary, in secured cloud storage provided by our Third Party Services.
Upon request, we will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your Personal Information. You may access, correct, or request deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us. Permanently deleting your Site account erases all of your information from our databases. After deleting your account, you can no longer use any of your Services. We will not be able to restore your account or retrieve your data in the future. If you contact us in the future, the system will not recognize your account and Support agents will not be able to locate the deleted account.
USERS-OF-USERS’ INFORMATION
We may collect, store and process Personal and Non-personal Information of Users-of-Users (“Users-of-Users Information”), solely on our Users’ behalf and at their direction. For such purposes, we serve and shall be considered as a “Processor” and not as the “Controller” of such Users-of-Users Information. The Users controlling and operating such User Websites shall be considered as the “Controllers” of such Users-of-Users Information, and are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that may apply to the collection and control of such Users-of-Users Information. We recommend that all Users publish and maintain clear and comprehensive privacy policies on their User Websites, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and that all Users-of-Users carefully read those policies and make sure they consent to them.
You are responsible for the security, integrity and authorized usage of your Users-of-Users’ Personal Information, for obtaining consents and permissions, and for providing any fair processing notices required for the collection and usage of such information.
If you are a visitor, user or customer of any of our Users, please read the following: Crime Law has no direct relationship with the individual Users-of-Users whose Personal Information it processes. If you are a visitor, user or customer of any of our Users, and would like to make any requests or queries regarding your Personal Information, please contact such User(s) directly. If requested to remove any Users-of-Users’ Personal Information, we will respond to such requests within thirty (30) days.
JOB APPLICATIONS
We understand that privacy and discreteness are crucial to our Applicants, and are committed to keep Applicants’ Information private and use it solely for our internal recruitment purposes. We may retain Applicants’ Information submitted to us for no longer than two years after the applied position has been filled or closed. This is done so we can re-consider Applicants for other positions and opportunities at Crime Law ; so we can use their Applicants’ Information as reference for future applications submitted by them; and if the Applicant is hired, for additional employment and business purposes related to his/her work at Crime Law . If you previously submitted your Applicants’ Information to us, and now wish to access it, update it or have it deleted from our systems, please contact us.
