How do we store your information?

All of our data centers and servers are located within the United States. We will store your personal information while you have an account with us or we are providing products and/or services to your organization. Our goal is to provide you with continuous and efficient service, for which access to your data is essential. If you are a non-U.S. resident and provide us with your personal information, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where the laws regarding processing of personal information may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By providing your information, you consent to such transfer and processing.

Your Rights and Choices

You may access, update, or remove certain account information that you have voluntarily submitted to us through the Services by sending an email to us at help@briefcatch.com. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity.

Please note that we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

2. Tracking Technology Choices

Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to decline or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies, some parts of the Services may not function correctly.
