Introduction

At Diligen we understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality, both with respect to your clients’ information and your own. This Privacy Policy (“​Policy​​”) explains how information is collected, used and disclosed by Diligen and applies to information collected when you use or access our products, services or applications (collectively, the "​Diligen Services​​"), or when you otherwise interact with us.

Please read the following carefully to understand how we will collect, use and maintain your personal information. This Policy also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information.

By subscribing to be a user of Diligen, you are agreeing to the terms of this Policy. This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you as a user of Diligen (referred herein as “you”, “your” or “user”) and Diligen Inc. (referred herein as “Diligen”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

You, as a user of Diligen, may have subscribed directly on your own behalf, or may have obtained an account provided by your employer. This Policy applies to both cases. If you have any questions or concerns about this Policy, please contact us at help@diligen.com​. If you use the Diligen Services as part of an organization that has an enterprise agreement with Diligen (like your employer), the terms of that organization's contract for the Diligen Services may restrict our collection or use of your information more than what is described in this Privacy Notice.

Changes to This Policy

We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will notify you by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). If there are material changes to this Policy, we will notify you more directly by email or means of a notice on the home page prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to review our Policy whenever you access the Diligen Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy. If you disagree with any changes to this Policy and do not wish your information to be subject to the revised Policy, you will need to deactivate your Diligen account or cancel your Diligen subscription. Your use of any of the Diligen Services after the posting of such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Google reCAPTCHA​: We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (“​reCAPTCHA​​”) on the publicly accessible pages of the Diligen Services (like a login page or a forgot password page). This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on a webpage (such as the email address on a forgot password page) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place.

Security

While no service is completely secure, Diligen takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. For example, we encrypt your Content when it is stored in our data centers.

The servers on which personal information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to include in documents you store on our systems are maintained at levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.

You may access your account information and our service only through the use of an individual registered user account and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. In addition, always logout and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to disclose your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.

If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at help@diligen.com.
