SECTION 4 – DISCLOSURE AND SALE OF INFORMATION
Personal Information
The Company may disclose and/or sell Customers' Personal Information as defined by the California Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"). Information gathered by the Company from third parties and through its own analysis of information provided by Customers to, or accessed by, the Company may be used to generate marketing leads and assess the quality of such leads, which leads may be provided to other Customers in exchange for consideration. If Customers do not want any information provided to us to be sold or used in the manner described above, Customers shall send a written opt-out request via email to the Company at curtis@crawfordvs.com. The Company will not rent, sell, or disclose Personal Information to anyone not related to it for marketing or promotional purposes unless in connection with a potential or actual sale, merger, or a corporate restructuring by or of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not knowingly sell any personal information of anyone under the age of 16.
The Company will use Personal Information to send Customers marketing and advertising messages related to our Services and Website. We may deliver a marketing or advertising message based on Customers' visits to our Website, which will be general advertising or "Contextual Advertising," which is advertising based on the subject matter or the content of the specific website page or subject matter. We may also send Customers "First Party Advertising," which is advertising that is customized or personalized based on a history of Customers' use of our Services (possibly combined with information from our social network platforms). First Party Advertising is based solely on a combination of information the Company collects from Customers – not from Customers' visits to other websites across the Internet.
Customers may opt-out of First Party Advertising but not Contextual Advertising. No Personal Information is used to deliver Contextual Advertising; it will automatically appear based on the content or webpages that are viewed by Customers. Customers may continue to receive general advertising if Customers opt-out of First Party Advertising, but such advertising will not be customized or personalized.
The Company reserves the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any Personal Information, Non-Personal Information, or Other Information to which the Company has access if it has a good faith belief that doing so (i) will implement and/or enforce the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy; (ii) is necessary during the course of any legal process related to the Services; or (iii) is required by federal or state law.
Other Information
The Company may use and disclose Other Information for any lawful purpose such as for research, reporting and analytic purposes, and to improve the Website. The Company may share aggregated and non-identifying information about Customers collected through the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with advertisers. In some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures. Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded webpages that are cosponsored by an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. We may share non-identifying and aggregate information with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, we may use it for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.
In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information (such as by combining non-identifying information such as a user's state with the user's name). If we combine any Other Information and Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.
SECTION 4A – NO SHARING OF MOBILE INFORMATION (SMS / A2P 10DLC)
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
Crawford Ventures LLC does not sell, share, rent, or transfer your mobile phone number, SMS consent, or opt-in data to any third parties, lead generators, or affiliate marketers at any time. All categories of mobile-originated information — including phone numbers collected through web forms, SMS opt-in confirmations, and message content — are excluded from any third-party sharing or sale described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
This restriction applies in addition to the disclosure rules described in Section 4 and Section 5. If any provision of this Privacy Policy could be read to permit sharing of mobile information for marketing or promotional purposes, the prohibition in this Section 4A controls.
SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURES AND SERVICES
Customers can always choose not to disclose Personal Information to the Company. However, certain Personal Information is necessary for us to provide the Services or products to Customers. Customers may opt out of sharing Personal Information only for marketing or advertising purposes but not for business or operational purposes.
Customers may opt out of email marketing and advertising from the Company using the "Unsubscribe" mechanism in each email. Before we send Customers a text for any reason, or send Customers a pre-recorded call that contains advertising or marketing information, we will secure Customers' prior written express consent, which can be given via a voice recording, email, text message, postal mail, or telephone key press. Non-telemarketing pre-recorded calls do not require Customers' prior express consent in writing unless they are sent to a wireless device. Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that such texts and pre-recorded telemarketing calls may be sent using an autodialer and are not conditioned on Customer's purchase of the Services. Customers may opt out of receiving text messages any time by replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to the text message. Customers may opt out of receiving pre-recorded calls by the opt-out instructions in the call. However, Customers will continue to receive calls related to debt-collection and Customers' current Service.
The third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
Once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Website's Terms of Service. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of any third parties or other sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy statements. The inclusion of a link on the Website does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or our affiliates. The presence of a link does not constitute or imply the Company's endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the content, goods, services, business, or privacy practices on such websites or online services.
SECTION 6 – SECURITY
To protect your Personal Information, the Company has implemented reasonable precautions and follows industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Customers are also responsible for the security of their Personal Information. Where Customers have selected a password to access certain parts of our Website, Customers are responsible for keeping this password confidential and limiting access to electronic devices and browser history. We make no guarantees regarding the security of any Personal Information transmitted to our Website. Customer acknowledges and agrees to notify us of any unauthorized use of Customer's username, password, or account. Customer acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for any use of our Services via Customer's username and password.
The Company will not send an email or text communications, nor should Customers respond to any email or text communications, requesting sensitive or confidential Personal Information such as social security number, bank account or credit card account number, or driver's license number. If Customers receive an email or text requesting any such information from the Company or someone that claims they are with the Company, please contact the Company immediately at curtis@crawfordvs.com.
