To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

This Privacy Shield Policy (“Policy”) extends to RequestPro’s secure collection, use and storage of Personal Data transferred from European Union (“EU”) member countries and Switzerland to the United States (“Personal Data”) and supplements the terms set forth in our Privacy Policy (located at www.prarequests.com/privacy-policy/). Unless specifically defined in this Policy, the terms in this Policy have the same meaning as our Privacy Policy with respect to such Personal Data.

  1. Information about visitors to our website

Visitors to our website www.prarequests.com will occasionally provide us with Personal Data on a completely voluntary basis. RequestPro will only process and store this data in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which the visitor gave it to RequestPro, or for which RequestPro stored it, or for purposes the visitor later authorizes. Before we use this data for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose for which we received it or for which it was later authorized, we will provide the visitor with the opportunity to opt out. RequestPro maintains reasonable procedures under the circumstances to help ensure that data collected from visitors is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

We also collect and store anonymous general information about the use of our websites and software, such as which software features our Customers use most frequently, and which services our Customers access the most. We use only aggregated data for this purpose, which de-identifies any individual Customer or visitor to our site. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our users and how we can continually create a better overall software and services experience. We may use this general and aggregated anonymous information and share it with our business partners so that they too may understand how our site is used.

RequestPro does not otherwise collect or store Sensitive Personal Data as a matter of course in its operations and does not ask its Customers or any visitors to supply it. Any Sensitive Personal Data received from Customers is used strictly for the business purposes defined in the software agreement between the Customer and RequestPro. It is not shared with third parties unless otherwise agreed in writing between RequestPro and the respective Customer, and in such a case, solely to third parties who are parties or counsel involved in litigation or other forms of dispute resolution, and strictly to provide RequestPro’s software and services to the Customer.
