General Terms and Conditions applicable to Use of a Web Site.

Social Intelligence Privacy Policy

As a consumer reporting agency governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) among other applicable state and federal laws, Social Intelligence is committed to protecting your privacy.

These Terms of Use cover Social Intelligence’s web site, and Social Intelligence’s practices for handling personal information provided to Social Intelligence over the Internet by the general public using Social Intelligence’s publicly available web site. These Terms of Use also covers personal information provided by Social Intelligence’s clients, and their job applicants and employees, using Social Intelligence’s online background screening solution that is accessible only through an access-restricted portion of Social Intelligence’s web site. Social Intelligence will collect, store, and use personally identifiable information only in compliance with applicable law, including the FCRA.

Information Collection

When you browse Social Intelligence’s publicly accessible web site, you do so anonymously. Social Intelligence collects personally identifiable information from you only if you choose to provide this information to us. In some instances, Social Intelligence may collect non-personal (e.g., aggregate or demographic) data through cookies. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of the rivdata.com/SI web site, as is further described below under “Cookies and Tracking Technology”.

The types of personal information we may collect about you through our publicly accessible web site include the following (should you decide to provide such information to Social Intelligence): (a) contact and identifying information (e.g., name, address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, employer(s), job title) in connection with your expression of interest in receiving information about, or your registering for, Social Intelligence products or services, newsletters and conferences; (b) your resume information and employment application information in response to Social Intelligence job openings; and (c) any other personal information that you may voluntarily provide to us in an online form or through an e-mail.

Access to certain Social Intelligence web pages and online services by Social Intelligence’s clients and their employees and job applicants is not available to the general public and requires a login code and password provided by Social Intelligence. The use of those web pages, and the information downloadable to and from those pages, are governed by a written agreement between Social Intelligence and its clients. On these web pages, Social Intelligence collects only information that the user voluntarily shares with Social Intelligence.

If you are using this web site to open an employment screening account with Social Intelligence, we collect the information requested on our account application form, including contact information and financial information (such as credit card number or billing information). This information is used for internal purposes, such as account establishment, billing, fulfillment of orders and customer service.

How We Use Your Personal Information

When your personal information is collected on Social Intelligence’s publicly accessible web site, Social Intelligence will inform you at the point of collection of the purpose for the collection. Social Intelligence will use your personal information only in the way we specify when it is collected unless you consent to a different use.

If you have provided your personal information over this web site in connection with a background screen ordered by Social Intelligence’s client – your employer or prospective employer – Social Intelligence may use your personal information to perform your background screen for that client. Social Intelligence will not use your information to conduct a background screening investigation and create a report unless Social Intelligence’s client completes a certification required by the FCRA and any other applicable law. In this certification, Social Intelligence’s client certifies to Social Intelligence that it has a legally permissible purpose for ordering the background screen, and that it has, to the extent required by applicable law, obtained your informed consent to conduct the background screen.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Social Intelligence does not sell or rent personal information to third parties. Social Intelligence will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your permission, except as described in these Terms of Use.

Social Intelligence may disclose personal information as necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the purposes for which we use personal information as described above in “How We Use Your Personal Information”.

When Social Intelligence conducts a background screening investigation about you, Social Intelligence may disclose to your employer or prospective employer information that you submit through this web site. Social Intelligence also may disclose your information to a third-party representative or subcontractor authorized by Social Intelligence to assist in the background screening investigation. These third parties include service providers that help host or support the web site or otherwise provide technical assistance, court researchers and other service vendors. Social Intelligence transfers to these representatives and subcontractors only the personal information they need to deliver to Social Intelligence (for the benefit of Social Intelligence’s client) the requested product or service. Social Intelligence prohibits these third parties from using that information for any other purpose. Social Intelligence requires that these parties maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your information.

Social Intelligence also may in good faith disclose personal information and any other additional information available to Social Intelligence for any of the following purposes: (i) investigate, prevent or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of Social Intelligence’s terms of use; (ii) respond to or defend against subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; (iii) establish or exercise Social Intelligence’s legal rights; or (iv) otherwise comply with applicable law.

Social Intelligence may acquire other businesses, and other businesses may acquire Social Intelligence. If that occurs, the information Social Intelligence collects may be one of the assets examined or transferred as part of the transaction. Social Intelligence will not permit another business to examine the information Social Intelligence has collected without a confidentiality agreement and only to the extent permitted by law. Social Intelligence will not transfer the information it has collected unless the recipient agrees to provide privacy protections equal to or exceeding those established by these Terms of Use.
