Rocket Lawyer collects information that, alone or in combination with other data, could be used to identify you (Personal Information), such as your email address, name, physical address, telephone number, or employment information. If you make a purchase from Rocket Lawyer, we will collect and store your billing and credit card information. Rocket Lawyer may also collect anonymous demographic information which is not unique to you, such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites (Non-Personal Information). Non-Personal Information is not linked to your Personal Information (for example, your IP address).

Rocket Lawyer will collect your Personal Information in a number of ways, including when you contact us through the Website, by telephone, post, e-mail or through the other means set out below.

Rocket Lawyer collects and uses your Personal Information as necessary to perform our contract with you and for our legitimate business interests, including to:

• operate the Website and deliver the services.
• communicate with you about the services you use, as well as respond to requests for assistance, including account verification support if you've having difficulty accessing your account. Rocket Lawyer will send a welcome email following registration to all registered users. We also periodically send service updates to registered users.
• display user content associated with your account and make sure it is available to you when you use our services.
• understand and improve how our users use and interact with our services.
• publicly disclose aggregated statistics regarding our users’ use of our services.

When you register with us and set up an account to receive our services, the legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract between you and us and/or taking steps, at your request, to enter into such a contract. When we process any payment made by you, we process your Personal Information to prevent or detect fraud, including fraudulent payments and fraudulent use of the Website. The legal basis for this processing is compliance with our legal obligations. With your consent, we will send you direct marketing emails from our third party partners.

We will only disclose Personal Information to third parties:

• when we use vendors, lawyers and service providers to assist us in meeting business or operating needs, such as providing legal services, hosting our Website, communicating with users, delivering and improving our services, e-mail communication, invoicing and payments, customer support services and analytics. These service providers may only access, process or store Personal Information pursuant to our instructions and to perform their duties to us, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; or
• when we have your explicit consent to share your Personal Information; or
• when we determine that disclosure is required to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Rocket Lawyer and users of the Website, or to respond to lawful subpoenas, warrants, or requests by public or regulatory authorities, or by law enforcement authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; or
• if we sell some or all of our business or assets, we may disclose your Personal Information to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets, and if the transaction closes, then your Personal Information may be transferred to the buyer.

In cases of onward transfer to third parties of Personal Information of individuals received pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks we are potentially liable.

Under the GDPR, you have various rights in relation to your Personal Information, such as the rights of access, rectification, restriction, objection, portability, and erasure. Please note that these rights are subject to certain limitations set forth in applicable law.

We have further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), an alternative, independent third-party dispute resolution service in the United States.

JAMS has committed to respond to complaints and their services are provided at no cost to you. To learn more about JAMS' dispute resolution services or to refer a complaint to JAMS, visit here.
