EU Personal Data Collection, Use, and Disclosure:

The EU Personal Data we receive may include, but is not limited to, your email address, name, phone number, postal address, and other information. We will only process EU Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which we collected it, or for purposes the individual later authorizes. We process sensitive EU Personal Data for the following purposes: forensic collections, eDiscovery processing, hosting, review, and traditional litigation support services. When we collect sensitive EU Personal Data, we will obtain your opt-in consent where the Privacy Shield requires, including if we disclose your sensitive EU Personal Data to non-agent third parties, or before we use your sensitive EU Personal Data for a different purpose than we collected it for or than you later authorized.

ViewDox acknowledges that EU individuals have the right to access their Personal Data that we maintain about them. ViewDox will also provide an individual opt-out choice before we share their Personal Data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate EU Personal Data, or who wishes to limit the use and disclosure of their Personal Data, should direct their questions to [email protected]. If requested to remove Personal Data, we will respond within a reasonable time-frame.

ViewDox limits disclosure of Personal Data to employees and other trusted third party business advisory and expert services firms that provide bibliographic coding, human/machine language translation, backup tape restoration, forensic collections/analysis, traditional litigation support, contract attorney review services and quality control services in whole or in part, on our behalf and who have a specific business purpose for collecting, maintaining, reviewing and processing such Personal Data.  Where required by the Privacy Shield Policies, we enter into written agreements with those third-party agents and service providers requiring them to provide the same level of protection the Privacy Shield Policies require and limiting their use of the EU Personal Data to the specified services provided on our behalf. We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that third-party agents and service providers process EU Personal Data in accordance with our Privacy Shield obligations and to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing. Under certain circumstances, we may remain liable for the acts of our third-party agents or service providers who perform services on our behalf for their handling of EU Personal Data that we transfer to them.

ViewDox may track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information and provide such information to business partners. ViewDox shall ensure that any third party to whom EU Personal Data may be disclosed agrees in writing to provide the same level of privacy protection as described in this Privacy Policy. Individuals who have been granted access to EU Personal Data are aware of their responsibilities to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of that information and have been provided training and instruction on how to do so. ViewDox takes measures to protect the security of EU Personal Data and to ensure the Personal Data is protected from loss, misuse and unauthorized access in accordance with the Privacy Shield.

Data We Collect and How We Collect It:

For personal information of individuals received from the EU, ViewDox is committed to handling such personal information in accordance with Privacy Shield as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries.

With regard to business clients’ and website/social media users’ data, ViewDox maintains personal data indefinitely or until a user rescinds consent for the retention of or use of the data.

Use of Personal Data:

ViewDox will only use data in a way that is compatible with the reason for which it was collected and authorized by our client. Further:

Legal basis for processing Personal Information (EU visitors only): 

If you are a visitor/client located in the EU, ViewDox is the data controller of your personal information. ViewDox’s data protection personnel can be contacted at [email protected].

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, in compliance with a legal obligation, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
