Privacy Policy

Updated Jan 24, 2024

1. Exterro as a Data Controller

This is the Data Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) of Exterro, Inc. and its affiliate and subsidiary entities (“Exterro”). We maintain websites (the “Websites”) to provide products and services to you. These Websites may ask for and collect your personal information to provide our products and services, enhance your experience, and provide you with other relevant information about our offerings. This Privacy Notice governs our treatment of personal information where Exterro acts as a data controller, including personal information processed on its Websites, offline activities, and information relating to customers, suppliers and others who do business with us. This Privacy Notice does not govern Exterro as a processor or service provider, such as when we license our software to our customers.

Exterro is committed to protecting the information that our customers, employees, suppliers, and others have entrusted to us. We are providing this Privacy Notice to explain our information practices and the choices you may have about the way your personal information is collected and used. We expect all of our employees and those with whom we share personal information to adhere to this Privacy Notice.

2. Exterro as a Service Provider

Exterro customers are businesses that deploy our Software as a Service ("SaaS") cloud-based solutions for legal governance, risk and compliance ("GRC") to solve complex business processes. Our customers may use our SaaS solutions to process business confidential information that may include personal information about their data subjects ("Customer Data Subjects"). Exterro processes personal information about Customer Data Subjects subject to our customer's instructions, so this Privacy Notice does not apply to such processing.

If you are a Customer Data Subject and believe that your personal information may be processed using one of our SaaS solutions, you should directly contact the organization regarding their processing of your personal information. Exterro is unable to access, view, or identify any data of its customers or Customer Data Subjects without the explicit authorization of its customer.

If you are a customer and have questions about how Exterro processes the personal information of Customer Data Subjects, you should direct your inquiry to [email protected].

  • In-App Tracking Methods. There are a variety of Tracking Technologies that may be included in mobile applications, and these are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings.

These Third-Party Services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technology to independently collect information about you and may solicit personal information from you.

http://www.aboutads.info/choic...Exterro and third-party service providers use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar technologies to track the actions of Site users and email recipients across non-affiliate websites over time, in order to personalize your experience on the Websites by presenting advertisements that are more relevant to you. For example, we use third-party service providers, to present products and offers tailored to the preferences and interests demonstrated by your online activity over time. If you would like opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third-party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, you may visit the opt-out pages on the NAI websiteand DAA website. You understand that these opt-out mechanisms are maintained by third parties, not Exterro. Exterro is not responsible for, nor does it control these mechanisms of the third parties who choose to participate in these opt-out programs.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small files which enable us to store individual information related to your computer or other device used to access our website. Cookies help us, e.g., to determine the frequency of use and the number of people visiting our website and to create our services as comfortable and efficient as possible for you.

Classes of Cookies. There are two types of cookies: session cookies, and persistent cookies.

  • Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Websites and expire and disappear from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain longer and help in understanding how you use the Websites, and enhance your user experience, and they stay on your device even after you close your device’s browser or end your session. Session cookies may remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time.

Sources of Cookies. Cookies also come from different sources – Exterro (these would be “first-party cookies” because Exterro places the cookies itself), and other third parties (these are “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by Exterro).

  • First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site.
  • Third-party cookies are not set by the owner of the website you are visiting, but by a different organization. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our website, or we might engage a third-party analytics company that will set their own cookie to perform this service.

Third-Party Cookies and Website Analytics. We use third-party services including Google Analytics to analyze Website activity. When you visit the Websites, Google Analytics automatically collects information from you through the use of Google’s analytics IDs, and Google provides some of this information to us. An analytics ID is a specific string of numbers and letters (often called a “character string”) that is assigned to your computer or device but does not name you. The analytics ID allows Google to track usage data of the Websites, such as date and time of visit, duration of visit, Website traffic patterns, “clickstreams,” other similar ‎information about your use of the Websites, ‎the type of web browser used, the operating ‎system/platform you are using, your IP address, the ‎websites that referred or linked you to our ‎Website, and your CPU speed.‎ Google Analytics does not share the analytics ID assigned to your computer or device that you use to access and use the Websites. Google Analytics provides information about the use of our Websites to us in aggregate form (i.e., data about many Website users combined and not just about you). Some of this data might include the regional location of Website users, but again, this data will be in aggregate (and not individual) form. We rely on this aggregate data to inform us how users are using the ‎Websites and to help us improve the Websites.

Social Media Widget Cookies. Some pages of our Websites include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Websites. These ‎features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Websites, ‎and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and ‎widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Websites. See the Social Media section under the heading How We Share Personal Information, below, for more details about your interactions with these features on our Websites.

Types of Cookies. The different types of cookies can be categorized as follows:

  • Necessary cookies are cookies that are required for the operation of our website, such as to ensure security. Other necessary cookies allow us to provide features or services that you expressly request. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off (although in some cases you can change your requests). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our website may not work if you block these types of cookies.
  • Performance cookies are used to improve the performance of our website and to enhance your experience. Google Analytics automatically collects certain usage and performance data from our Website users. The information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous information, and we are never provided with your personal information from these cookies.
  • Functional cookies are used to provide certain functionalities to you by recording your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintaining your preferences over time and recognizing you when you return to our website so that we can offer you a better experience on this website. We will only store and access functional cookies on your device if you consent to such storage and access. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, we will not be able to provide certain functionalities to you.
  • Analytics cookies allow us to analyze website usage and understand how visitors use it. These cookies recognize and collect information about the number of visitors, the pages they view, how long they view pages and how they move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that visitors are easily finding what they are looking for. We will only store and access analytics cookies on your device if you consent to such storage and access. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, we will not be able to improve our website based on information from your visit.
    Targeting and advertising cookies track browsing habits and are used to deliver targeted (interest-based) advertising. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the Websites operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

5. Choices: Selling, Tracking AND Communications Options

Tracking Technologies Generally

Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from commercial browsers may not be effective with Flash cookies (also known as locally shared objects), HTML5 cookies, or other Tracking Technologies. For information on disabling Flash cookies, go to Adobe’s website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-p.... Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Websites may not work and that when you revisit the Websites your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Some app-related Tracking Technologies in connection with non-browser usage (e.g., most functionality of a mobile app) can only be disabled by uninstalling the app. To uninstall an app, follow the instructions from your operating system or handset manufacturer.

“Do Not Track” Signals; Opt-Out Preference Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit an opt-out preference signal or “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, Exterro currently does not alter its practices when Exterro receives an opt-out preference signal or “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.

Analytics and Advertising Tracking Technologies

You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpag... or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Communications

You can opt out of receiving certain promotional communications from Exterro at any time by following the instructions provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link, or if available by changing your communication preferences by logging onto your account. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the email address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications, Exterro may, subject to applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or Exterro’s ongoing business relations.

6. How we share personal information

We may share information about you to third parties as indicated below:

  • Affiliates, Subsidiaries, and Locations. We may share your personal information with our different locations, affiliates, and subsidiaries.

  • Service Providers, Suppliers, Agents, and Business Partners. Other companies sometimes provide certain services to us or on our behalf (e.g., maintenance, IT support, analysis, development, security). Unless we tell you differently or as described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice, our service providers are not permitted to use your information except to assist us.
  • Marketing. We may share your personal information to deliver marketing communications to you. Absent your consent (which may be by means of opt-in, or a third-party interaction described in the next bullet point), however, Exterro will not share your personal information with third parties, other than Affiliates, for their own direct marketing purposes, except in connection with changes in business structure or ownership (defined below).
  • Social Media. Certain pages of our Websites might include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, and widgets, as well as the ‎‎“Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Website‎. These features might require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, or application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by such social media platforms to facilitate the communications and features. When you provide us with information through these platforms, the information also becomes subject to their privacy statements. In addition, by choosing to use any third-party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, you allow us to share information with the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third-party platforms. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use of your information or content by a third-party platform, which you disclose at your own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of these platforms.
  • Your Disclosure or Agreement. Your activities on the website may, by their nature, result in the sharing of your personal information (as well as your non-personal information) with third parties and by engaging in these activities you agree to that and further sharing and disclosure to third parties. Such third-party data receipt and collection is subject to the privacy and business practices of that third party, not Exterro.
  • Compliance with Legal Obligations. We may need to disclose certain information to auditors, government authorities, law enforcement, regulatory agencies, our legal counsel, third-party litigants and their counsel, or other authorized individuals in order to comply with laws that apply to us, or other legal obligations such as contractual requirements.
  • Changes in Business Structure/Ownership. We may disclose or transfer your personal information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of Exterro’s business, assets, or ownership interest (including any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
  • With your Employer, Company, or Client. We may share video and voice recordings of calls you participate in and consented to the recording of with your employer, company, or the client that you represent when requested. Where we share video recordings of calls, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

We do not sell any individual’s personal information, including information belonging to children under the age of 16, nor do we share that personal information with third parties for those parties’ commercial use.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are allowed to access personal information, and they may only access it for permitted business functions. We also use technology to protect your information, including encrypting sensitive personal information that is transferred to or from our systems.

While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration will never occur, we use reasonable efforts to prevent it. Please keep in mind that no method of storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure, so your use of our services and provision of information to us is at your own risk.

Our Websites may contain links to other third-party sites on the Internet. The information practices of those websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites.

8. Required Disclosures

In certain circumstances, we may choose to or may be required to provide additional or different disclosures to residents of different U.S. states or other countries. Below are the disclosures that may be applicable to you.

“Legal Categories” of Personal Information Certain laws require us to tell you about the personal information we collect about you in a certain way – specifically, we need to tie it back to “legal categories” of personal information that are listed in the law. To do this, we bundled up the information we gave you above in this Notice and matched the different types of personal information we collect about you with the legal category. To make things easier to understand, we’ve put this information in a chart that shows you five things:

  • The legal category of personal information,
  • Examples of the types of personal information included in each legal category,
  • The source from which your personal information is collected,
  • The purpose for why we collect and use your personal information for each legal category, and
  • The business purposes for which we share your personal information and with whom,

We’ve included these things and a list of personal information We Disclose for a Business Purpose in the Personal Information Privacy Chart at the end of this Privacy Notice.

European Disclosures

This section of our Privacy Notice applies to individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK).

International Data Transfers Exterro primarily stores the personal information we collect in the United States. To facilitate Exterro’s global operations, staff who work for Exterro and/or our service providers may transfer and access such personal information from locations around the world. This will involve transferring your personal information outside the EEA and the UK. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Whenever we transfer your personal information out of the EEA or the UK, we will ensure one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission; or
  • We may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal information the same protection it has in Europe; or
  • We will ensure there is some other protection in place which has been approved by the European Commission as giving personal information the same protection it has in Europe.

Legal Bases for Processing This section describes some of the legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. We may process your personal information for more than one legal basis depending on the specific purpose(s) for which we are using your personal information, including the following legal bases:

  • Contracts. Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, including to provide you products or services.
  • Legitimate Interests. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. The following are non-exhaustive examples of where Exterro relies on legitimate interest to process personal information:
    • Exterro has a legitimate interest in processing personal information relating to our existing customers in order to manage our business relationship and provide communications and information that may be of interest, including marketing communications.
    • Exterro has a legitimate interest in using cookies as outlined in this Privacy Notice.
       
  • Legal Obligations. Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information.

9. Your rights and choices

A. Privacy Rights: Some privacy laws require that we disclose to you the privacy rights that you have regarding personal information. We have defined the various privacy rights below.

Access: You may have the right to access your personal information and to receive a copy of your information.

Data Portability: You may have the right to request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Deletion: You also may request that we erase your information. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Know: You may have the right to know the categories of personal information collected about you, the legal basis for processing your personal information, and to know whether your personal information is disclosed / sold and to whom.

Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: Exterro limits its use of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services and which is reasonably expected by the average consumer requesting the services. “Sensitive Personal Information” includes your Social Security number, driver’s license number, state ID card, passport number, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, health and genetic data, biometric data, information about a sex life or sexual orientation, account login, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account, the contents of mail, email, and text messages if the business is not the intended recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, "special categories of personal data" under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and implementing regulations in Europe shall have the same meaning as "sensitive personal information." If you believe Exterro is processing your sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary and reasonably expected, you have the right to request that Exterro limit its use of your sensitive personal information.

Non-Discrimination / Non-Retaliation: You may have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by the Company because you exercise your privacy rights.

Object to Processing: You may have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Opt Out of Direct Marketing, Targeted Advertising, or Profiling: You may have the right to opt out of direct marketing, targeted advertising, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing.

Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing: You may have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, to the extent applicable. Exterro does not engage in the sale of personal information. You may also have the right to request that we do not share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Request Correction: You may have the right to request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Restrict Use: You may have the right to restrict the use of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Withdraw Consent: You may have the right to withdraw consent where we collected or processed your personal information based on consent, and no other legal basis for processing exists.

Right to Make a Complaint: If you are in the EEA, you have a right to complain to us about our Personal Information practices, and you can do so using one of the methods in the Contact Us section below. We will evaluate your complaint and will contact you if we need further information to resolve it. In addition, you may have the option of complaining to a government authority if you believe we have not processed your Personal Information in compliance with the laws and principles that apply in your home country. If you would like to make a complaint to an authority, you may contact your country’s supervisory authority.

These rights may be subject to certain limitations or exceptions depending on your state of residency and the purpose for which we process personal information about you.

Where applicable and technically feasible, Exterro will accommodate your valid request to exercise your privacy rights and choices. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

B. Making Privacy Requests

How to Make a Request: If you would like to make a request, please use one of the methods in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Notice. You will need to provide your first and last name, email address, physical address, and company or organization name.

Exterro may provide web pages or other mechanisms allowing you to delete, correct, or update some of the personal information, and potentially certain other information about you (e.g., account information). For instance, you can make changes to your account information by updating or modifying your online account information via the profile settings menu in the dashboard. Exterro will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in Exterro’s then-active databases as soon as practicable, but it is not always possible to completely change, remove, or delete all of your information or public postings from Exterro’s databases and residual and/or cached data may remain archived thereafter. Further, we reserve the right to retain data (a) as required by applicable law; and (b) for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data is retained except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Responding to RequestsYour request will be evaluated to determine whether the requested change meets legal regulatory requirements and does not risk making our other data less secure or changing our other data. If we aren’t able to honor any part of your request, we will tell you that in our response, as well as the reason(s) we cannot do so.

Verifying Your Identity: In order for us to look into your request, we first need to verify your identity, meaning that we need to make sure that you are the consumer we may have collected personal information about or a person who has been duly authorized to make the request on behalf of the consumer. For example, if you make a request, we will ask you to confirm your name and email address. For certain requests, we will use a combination of your email address, name, and/or zip code to verify your identity, so that we can help protect your information.

Appealing a Denied Request: If we deny all or part of your privacy request, you may have a right to appeal that decision. If you would like to make an appeal, please contact us using the methods in the “Contact Us” section below, and include your name, email address, physical address, the type of request you made, and the reason for requesting an appeal.

Requests by Authorized Agents: You may have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Authorized agents of consumers may make a request by using the methods in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Notice. Privacy laws require that any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and verification process, and confirmation of the agent’s authority, which may include attestation under penalty of perjury. Absent a power of attorney, we will also require the consumer to verify their own identity. We may verify identity based on matching information you provided with data we have maintained on you in our systems. This data could include, but is not limited to, email address, mailing address, or phone number.

C. Third-Party Marketing and Your Additional California Privacy Rights

Separate from your “Do Not Sell” rights, California residents have the following additional rights regarding disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes:

We provide California residents with the option to opt-in to sharing of “personal information” as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law with third parties, other than with our affiliates, for such third parties’ own direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with non-Affiliate third parties for their direct marketing purposes absent your consent. If you are a California resident, you may request information about our compliance with the Shine the Light law and/or withdraw previously given consent to sharing with non-Affiliated third parties for their direct marketing purposes by contacting using the methods in the “Contact Us” section below. Requests must include “California Marketing Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through the provided email address or mailing address.

As these rights and your privacy rights are not the same and exist under different laws, you must exercise your rights under this law and the other privacy laws separately.

D. Children’s Privacy 

The Websites are not directed at nor intended for use by children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from children under the age of 18. We will never use or disclose any personal information of a child under the age of 18 for marketing or advertising purposes. If you are under age 18, you should not use our Websites and you should not send us personal information about yourself. If you suspect that a child is using our Websites, please contact Exterro by email at [email protected].

10. How long we keep your personal information 

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We cannot (fully) comply with a request to erase or delete if we have to retain your personal information for certain purposes and for a longer period due to a statutory retention period. After the retention period has expired, we will delete your personal information.

11. Changes to this Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to change this Notice prospectively effective upon the posting of the revised Notice and your use of our Websites indicates your acknowledgement of the Notice posted at the time of use. However, should we update this Notice, we will post a new version online, and will notify you if the personal information processed about you will be materially different than that which was represented to you at the time it was collected. To the extent any provision of this Notice is found by a competent tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
