Overview

Your privacy and trust are important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Safari Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Safari SOP (“STI,” “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and otherwise processes information relating to individuals (“Personal Data”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to learn about your rights and choices regarding your Personal Data.

PERSONAL DATA TO WHICH THIS PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY: This Privacy Policy does not apply to Personal Data stored in the Safari application or the Safari SecureShare™ portal (the “Services”). With respect to the Services, STI is a “Data Processor” only on behalf of an STI’s customer, who is the “Data Controller.” Personal Data stored and retained in the Services by STI’s customers about you may include, but may not be limited to:

  • STI customers or their agents may upload or enter Personal Data about you that is contained in subpoenas, garnishments, information requests, and other service of process documents (collectively “SOP Documents”), or that is entered about you relating to the SOP Documents;
  • STI customers may use the Services to deliver Personal Data about you to the subpoena issuer;
  • STI customers may use the Services to enter Personal Data about subpoena issuers; and
  • You as an employee of a STI customer, or as a subpoena issuer that has issued a SOP Document to a STI customer, may enter Personal Data into the Service (e.g. a user profile or credit card information) (collectively, “Customer SOP Data”).

This Privacy Policy (and the term “Personal Data”) does not apply to such Customer SOP Data because (1) STI has no ownership of this Customer SOP Data, and (2) STI processes Customer SOP Data solely in the role as a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers. For detailed privacy information related to an STI customer or a customer affiliate who uses the Service, please contact our customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy.

Information from public sources.  We also collect personal information about you from third parties such as companies that provide contact information, and from publicly available sources such as public websites, open government databases or other data in the public domain, to help us maintain data accuracy.

Surveys.  STI frequently conducts surveys with and on behalf of industry organizations and willing survey participants. Unless the survey specifically requires information about you or your company, these surveys are anonymous, and STI gathers the information only for the purposes of aggregating the information and providing reports for the benefit of customers and the community of people that are generally interested in how to better process and respond to SOP Documents.


How we gather and use Personal Data

Marketing and events-related communications.  We may send you email marketing communications about STI products and services, invite you to participate in our events or surveys, or otherwise communicate with you for marketing purposes.

This information may include identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server information), device and application information, identification numbers and features, location, browser type, plug-ins, integrations, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, referring website, app or ad, operating system, system configuration information, advertising and language preferences, date and time stamps associated with your usage, and frequency of visits to the websites. This information is used to analyze overall trends, help us provide and improve our websites, offer a tailored experience for website users, and secure and maintain our websites.

When you visit our websites, we, or an authorized third party, may place a cookie on your device that collects information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different sites.

System operation generally.  We may use Personal Data to protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity.


Purposes for which we use Personal Data and legal bases on which we rely

We rely upon a number of legal grounds to ensure that our use of your Personal Data is compliant with applicable law. We use Personal Data to do the following:

  • facilitate the business relationships we have with our customers;
  • send you marketing information, product recommendations and other non-transactional communications (e.g., marketing newsletters) about us and our affiliates and partners, including information about our products, promotions or events as necessary for our legitimate interest in conducting direct marketing or to the extent you have provided your prior consent;

When and with whom do we share Personal Data?

We will share Personal Data with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. STI does not sell, rent or lease Personal Data to third parties.

All such third parties are prohibited from using Personal Data except to provide these services to STI and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Data.

We will disclose Personal Data, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process, such as a subpoena, served on STI; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of STI; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of STI, or the public.

We may also share anonymous or de-identified usage data with our service providers for the purpose of helping STI in such analysis and improvements. Additionally, we may share such anonymous or de-identified usage data on an aggregate basis in the normal course of operating our business; for example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.
