These cookies specifically do not contain or collect any personal information, and you can set your browser to not accept cookies if you wish.

    THIRD PARTY LINKS

    Our Platforms may provide links and otherwise allow you to access entities’ websites, products and services that are not controlled or operated by DD (including, without limitation, third party loan origination systems, point of sale and advertisers). You also may provide information for transmission to these third party websites and/or third party users of our Platforms.  All such transmissions are AT YOUR OWN RISK.  This Privacy Policy does not apply to your interaction with such third parties, and DD is not responsible for the content of third party websites or the privacy practices of third parties (including, without limitation, third parties’ use of cookies, pixel tags and other technologies).  Although we implement security measures and other controls, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of other users of our Platforms with whom you may choose to share your information.

    Therefore, we encourage you to request and review the privacy policies of any third parties prior to disclosing your information to such parties or upon visiting such third party websites.  We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. It is your sole responsibility to verify your privacy and shared information settings with all third party services, and maintain those settings as they are updated.  We cannot modify or otherwise control or exclude the information, personal information, or other metadata supplied to us by third parties as a result of your use of their services.

    USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

    We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not constitute personal information, for any purpose and without restriction.  If we combine any non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    Upon collection of your personal information, we may use such personal information to our employees, contractors and agents for the following purposes:

    • To provide you with access to the Platforms and Solutions you are requesting.
    • To improve upon or troubleshoot any problems with the Platforms and Solutions.
    • To notify you about updates, modifications, enhancements and additional products and services.
    • To facilitate communication between you and our employees and agents in order to respond to your questions and comments, or to contact you for user feedback.

    • For any other purpose we may disclose to you from time to time where you provide your consent.

    We may also disclose your personal information to third parties as follows:

    • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of DD’s business, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by DD about users of our Platforms and Solutions is among the assets transferred.
    • As required to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
    • To enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.
    • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of DD, our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

    CORRECTING YOUR INFORMATION

    You can review and change your personal information by logging into one of our Platforms and visiting your account profile page, if applicable. 

    You may also send us an email at support@dossdocs.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

    If you delete any information you provided to or through the Platforms and Solutions, copies of your information may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or might have been copied or stored by other users. 

    DATA SECURITY :

    We have implemented measures designed to help secure your personal information against accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls and is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption. We cannot guarantee that your personal information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy (for example, as a result of unauthorized acts by third parties that violate applicable law).  

    The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Platforms and Solutions, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. It is your responsibility to protect the integrity of your accounts and passwords. To protect against unauthorized access to your account, be sure to log out each time you finish using the Platforms and Solutions. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our Platforms and Solutions. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.  We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in the Platforms and Solutions.

    • Data Transmission: When data is transmitted to or from the Platforms and Solutions, it is encrypted using a minimum of 128-bit RSA keys over a TLS channel. If credit card information is transmitted, DD reveals only the last four digits when confirming an order (of course, the entire credit card number is transmitted to the appropriate credit card company during order processing).
    • Network Security: DD employs multiple firewalls to keep out unwanted traffic and intruders. Additionally, an intrusion detection system is used to analyze traffic and alert network security personnel of suspicious activity. DD uses a patch management system to ensure that all servers are up to date with the most current security patches.
    • Data Privacy: Each account is treated as a separate entity. Data from different accounts cannot be co-mingled, and there is a logical separation between data maintained in different accounts. Any and all “nonpublic personal information” of your “customers” or “consumers” that DD collects, or that you disclose to DD, is used by DD and transmitted to third parties only as necessary in connection with DD’s provision of its loan document preparation, delivery, imaging, annotation and other related ancillary and complementary services upon your request for such services.
    • Disclosure: DD will not disclose any such nonpublic personal information to any other person, except as permitted by this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by applicable law. DD has implemented appropriate measures that are designed to meet the objectives of the “Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safekeeping Customer Information,” issued jointly by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision effective July 1, 2001.

    HOW TO OPT-OUT

    When you email us or register with us, you will have the ability to opt-out of receiving certain communications from DD, including voicemail or e-mail.  If you do not opt-out, but later decide that you would prefer not to receive e-mail communications from DD, please contact us at support@dossdocs.com. In addition, if you have an account with DD, you can opt-out by changing your DD account preferences.  Remember, however, that we may still send e-mail or call you in order to provide materials that you request.

    This section describes certain rights of Consumers under the CCPA. For information on how Consumers may contact DD to exercise these rights, please see the section below entitled, “How to Submit a Request.”

    A. Right to Know

    A Consumer has the right to request that a business disclose what “personal information” it collects, uses, discloses or sells. As described in this CRPP, the term “personal information” has the definition specified in the CCPA.

    3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

    4. The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information.

    5. The specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that Consumer.

    A Consumer has the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the Consumer which the business has collected from the Consumer. If it is necessary for DD to maintain the personal information for certain purposes, DD is not required to comply with your deletion request.

    C. Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information

    DD does not and will not sell Consumers’ personal information.

    To submit a Request, you will be asked to provide certain information to help us verify your identity. The information we ask you to provide to initiate a Request may differ depending upon the type of request, sensitivity and value of the personal information that is the subject of the request, and the risk of harm to you that may occur as a result of unauthorized access or deletion, among other factors. We may also require you to provide a written declaration that you are who you say you are.

    Each Request must:

  • Include sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative.
  • Specifically, the Request must include your name and a method of contacting you.
  • Specifically describe your Request to delete personal information with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it
  • If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the Request, we will not be able to comply with your Request. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity or authority.
