Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 1, 2023

Introduction

Thank you for accessing the iDepoHawaii.com website operated by iDepo Hawaii, LLC (“iDepo,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. This Privacy Policy governs the iDepoHawaii.com website and its subdomains (the “Site”), portals, applications, products, services, events, and any interactive features, applications, and/or other services that reference this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy also applies to Personal Information we may collect from you on our website, via telephone calls with our office, through online payments, or in any other instance when you contact us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties (“Third Party Services”), which are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Since we are a fairly small company, we don’t meet the thresholds to require a lot of fancy language about privacy (some new state privacy laws do not apply to us). But we do want to tell you what information we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it, under what circumstances we may share it, how we protect it, and how you can modify the use of your information.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect from you, why we collect it, how we use it, under what circumstances we may share it with third parties, and how we protect that information. To the extent we provide you notice on our Site of different or additional privacy policies or practices (e.g., at the point of collection of your information), those additional terms shall govern such data collection and use. If you voluntarily provide your information in the course of using or interacting with our Site, purchasing our products, or using our Services, we will take that as your agreement to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and part of our Terms of Use, which govern your use of the Site. By using our Site, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to our Terms of Use.

1. What Information We Collect

In connection with the court reporting, transcription, interpreter, translation, videography, litigation support, and/or records and document retrieval and management services we provide (the “Services”), we may ask you to provide us with (i) your first and last name, email address, home or business address, other shipping or billing addresses, telephone number, mobile number, your purchase/order history, your birthdate, or other information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally or identify your household (hereinafter, “Personal Information”); and/or (ii) demographic information, such as your country, state, or county of residence or business operation (“Demographic Information”). We may collect this information when you:

Depending on the services you use, you may also provide to us information about yourself, if you’re an individual; your clients; your employer; your counsel; your employees; employees of your clients or customers; employees of parties adverse to you or your clients; or employees of third parties who may be involved in litigation with you or your clients.

Your decision to provide us with information is voluntary, but if you choose not to provide any requested information, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the Site’s features or our Services, including ordering products, submitting inquiries, or signing up for newsletters or marketing lists.

iDepo further recognizes the importance of children’s safety and privacy. The Site is not designed to attract children and is not intended for use by any children under the age of 18. We do not request, or knowingly collect, any personally identifiable information from children. Minors under the age of 18 may use the Site only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by the Site’s Terms of Use.

Use of Cookies and other Tracking Technologies

We may use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”).

Information We Collect When You Interact with Third-Party Sites

The Site may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Site and your account on a third-party website or application. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party site providing information to us. For example, we may provide links on the Site to facilitate sending a communication from the Site or we may use third parties to facilitate emails or postings to social media. We may use third parties to deliver products to you. We also may provide links to allow third parties to process credit card and/or electronic payments. These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy. iDepo may not control or have access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use third-party sites or services, you are using their services and not our services and they, not we, are responsible for their practices.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what an organization should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.

5. Visitors to the Site Outside of the United States

If you are visiting the Site from a location outside of the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

6. Updating Personal Information

We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us at privacy@idepohawaii.com.

If so, we will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information as business records). Please note that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons, such as a legitimate business reason.

7. Controlling Cookies

We do not use any third-party cookies at this time. We may use Tracking Technologies, such as our own cookies, to address your preferences on our Site, or to report how you used the Site. You can set your web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie and what server your data is being returned to. You then can accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers.

Some services may not function or may have more limited functionality if your web browser does not accept cookies. However, you can allow cookies from specific websites by making them ‘trusted websites’ in your web browser.

You can opt in or out of cookies at any time – except strictly necessary cookies (these are used to help make our website work efficiently). If you wish to restrict or block the cookies set by any website, you can do this through the web browser settings for each web browser you use, on each device you use to access the internet. You may “clear” all cookies to force our cookie preferences panel to restart so that you may change your cookie preferences at any time. Currently, you cannot synchronize your settings between your browsers and devices (e.g., your computer and your smartphone), so you must manage your cookies on each browser, on each device.

Information on controlling and deleting cookies, including on a wide variety of browsers, is also available at allaboutcookies.org. Some of the more popular browsers (and links to manage your cookies on each) are:

If you do not wish to accept cookies from one of our emails, you can choose not to download any images or click on any links. You can also set your browser to restrict cookies or to reject them entirely. These settings will apply to all cookies, whether included on websites or in emails. Depending on your email or browser settings, cookies in an email may sometimes be automatically accepted (for example, when you’ve added an email address to your address book or safe senders list). For more information, refer to your email browser or device instructions.

Please note that even if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you may continue to receive advertisements, for example, ads based on the particular website you are viewing (e.g., contextually based ads) or ads that are not targeted at you which may be less relevant. Also, if your browser (like some Safari browsers) is configured to reject opt-out cookies when you opt out, your opt-out may not be effective.

California residents have additional options to limit the sharing of their Personal Information, as set forth below in the Your California Privacy Rights section.

8. Links

For your convenience, the Site may contain links to other websites. iDepo is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Site should be deemed to imply that iDepo endorses or has any affiliation with the links.

9. Security

We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk. If you must transmit confidential information related to a matter we are handling for you, please contact us for instructions for a secure file transfer protocol. 

10. Your California Privacy Rights

This section of the Privacy Policy applies solely to California residents. We adopt this Policy to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). Any terms defined in the CCPA or CPRA have the same meaning when used in this Section. Current and prior employees, job applicants and independent contractors may have additional or different disclosures available to them, as set forth below. California residents have the following rights:
The earlier sections in this Privacy Policy describe in detail what categories of information we collect and the purposes for which we use that information.

Request For Information, Correction, or Deletion

California consumers have the right to request, under certain circumstances, that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose to the consumer the information listed below for the preceding 12 months:

Please note that if we collected information about you for a single one-time transaction and do not keep that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section. In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not otherwise maintained that way in our records.

You also have the right to request that we correct or delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

As permitted by the CCPA/CPRA, if you request deletion of Personal Information that we have collected about you, we, our service providers, and our contractors may be unable to comply with such a request if your Personal Information is necessary to:

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal information

As a California resident, you also have the right, at any time, to tell us not to sell Personal Information – this is called the “right to opt-out” of the sale of Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information at this time.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

California consumers have the right to limit the use of each type of Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) for each purpose with each type of third-party partner. Consumers can revoke this permission at any time. Please note that we only keep SPI for the transaction for which it is required. We do not provide your Sensitive Personal Information to any third parties other than those service providers that are necessary for us to provide our Services to our employees. We do not share your SPI for cross-contextual behavioral advertising or for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you.

Right not to be Discriminated Against

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA. Unless permitted by California law, we will not:
However, as permitted by California law, we may offer you certain financial incentives that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to the value of your Personal Information, for instance, if you sign up for a newsletter with us, we may provide you with discounts for future products or Services. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Third Party Marketing

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. We do not provide your Personal Information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

California residents may have additional rights, as shown in the “Your California Privacy Rights” section above.

Opt-Out Preference Signals (CA, CO, CT)

GPC is a web browser-level setting, maintained by either a browser or a browser extension, that a user or privacy-focused technology can set. In certain regions, when we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices as required by applicable law.
