1. SCOPE OF POLICY
This Policy applies only to the processing of Personal Data (defined below) that TheFormTool, LLC receives in the United States from its European Customers (defined below). Most TheFormTool, LLC Customers are businesses, not individuals. However, TheFormTool, LLC may also receive Personal Data about individual Message Recipients (defined below) on a Customer’s e-mail marketing or contact lists. We process the Personal Data of a Customer’s Message Recipients only on behalf of and under the direction of the Customer, and the collection, use and disclosure of such data is subject to the Customer’s privacy policy.
This Policy does not cover data through which individuals are no longer identifiable, or identifiable only with a disproportionately large expense in time, cost or labor, or data combined with pseudonyms rather than actual names or other identifiable information.
Capitalized terms in this Policy are defined at the end of this Policy.
2. COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL DATA
TheFormTool may collect Personal Data: (1) directly or indirectly from Customers; (2) from Third Parties; (3) from TheFormTool, LLC affiliates in Europe, or (4) through other means.

Where permitted, TheFormTool, LLC also may use the Personal Data we collect to contact our Customers about services and other information that we believe will be of interest or to send marketing information. Our Customers may opt-out of being contacted for such purposes by e-mailing service@theformtool.com.
3. DISCLOSURES/ONWARD TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
Except as otherwise provided herein, TheFormTool, LLC discloses Personal Data only to Third Parties who reasonably need to know such data for a legitimate business purpose of TheFormTool’s. Such recipients must agree to abide by confidentiality obligations.
4. SENSITIVE DATA
TheFormTool does not intentionally collect Sensitive Data from Customers. Except as stated otherwise herein, TheFormTool, LLC will not disclose Sensitive Data to any Third Parties, other than its service providers as stated above, unless it receives a Data Subject’s express consent. Further, TheFormTool, LLC will not use Sensitive Data for any purpose other than: (1) the purpose for which it was originally provided, (2) a purpose expressly consented to by the Data Subject; or (3) a purpose expressly described below.
Notwithstanding the above, should TheFormTool, LLC receive Sensitive Data, it may disclose Sensitive Data (and Personal Data) without prior express consent, where such disclosure or use: (a) is in the vital interests of the Customer, or another person; (b) is necessary for the establishment of legal claims or defenses, to obtain legal advice, or for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending TheFormTool’s legal rights; (c) is required to provide medical care or diagnosis; (d) is necessary to carry out TheFormTool’s obligations under applicable employment or other laws; (e) is data manifestly made public by the Customer; or (f) as otherwise required by law.

TheFormTool, LLC also uses reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data that we collect or maintain. For example, all electronically stored Personal Data is stored on a secure network with monitored firewall protection, and access to TheFormTool’s electronic information systems requires user authentication via password or similar means. Despite these precautions, no data security safeguards guarantee 100{9e5c399d4686ffbee71f542e7a95a67178027d042b67cd6e8c3b22a26beb12ba} security all of the time.
6. RIGHT TO ACCESS, CHANGE OR DELETE PERSONAL DATA
Upon reasonable request and to the extent the request does not compromise the protections set forth in this Policy, TheFormTool, LLC allows Customers reasonable access to their own Personal Data. Data Subject’s may request that TheFormTool, LLC correct, amend or delete such data where it is inaccurate. TheFormTool, LLC will grant such requests, except where doing so would cause unreasonable burden or expense, or pose a risk to such individual’s privacy.
