When we refer to a “User” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to an individual who is either a Visitor or a Registrant. When we refer to “you” or “your”, we are referring to any individual whose Personal Information we process. Each of LAS and EZLease offers to its customers (each a “Customer”) certain commercial lease management, sourcing and accounting services to lessees, lessors and vendors as well as training and instruction to Users on the use of our Services and lease accounting generally (the “Services”). LAS and EZLease use cloud-based applications (the “Applications”), seminars and presentations (including via video conferencing), videos and written documentation to provide the Services. Each of LAS and EZLease is responsible for its processing of personal information covered by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy provides information on our collection, use and sharing of your personal information in connection with your use of our Services or in accessing or websites (collectively our “Websites”), including the following websites with our subdomains: www.leaseaccelerator.com www.ezlease.com www.leaseaccounting.com www.lessornetwork.com This Privacy Policy may change over time, at our discretion, for example to comply with legal requirements or to meet changing business needs. See “How do we implement changes to this Privacy Policy?” below for details. In this Privacy Policy, we use the term “Personal Information” to refer to information relating to an identified individual or to an identifiable individual. Examples of the types of Personal Information we may process are provided below. We use the term “process” to mean any activity involving Personal Information, such as collection, storage, use, transmission or sharing. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Use. These Terms of Use are accessible from the home page of our Websites; www.leaseaccelerator.com and www.ezlease.com. 1) What does this Privacy Policy cover? This Privacy Policy describes our conduct, and the conduct of those individuals and companies that we engage, in processing of Personal Information. The Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection and other processing of Personal information by our Customers. Each Customer is responsible for its own Personal Information collection and other processing practices, including when a Customer uses our Services to process your Personal Information. To find out more about a Customer’s processing of Personal Information about you, you are encouraged to review the relevant privacy policy of the company who collected your information from you. Please consult that company directly if you have any further questions about its processing of the Personal Information you provided to it. We may have entered into an agreement with our Customer that governs our processing of your Personal Information on the Customer’s behalf (a “Data Processing Agreement” or “DPA”). Any rights reserved for you under a DPA with respect to your Personal Information we are processing on the Customer’s behalf are in addition to your rights described in this Privacy Policy to request information from us and to request that we take certain actions with respect to your Personal Information. 2) Why do we process Personal Information? Our goal in processing Personal Information of Registrants is to facilitate our provision of the Services to our Registrants and our Customers. Our primary goal in collecting information from Visitors is to allow us to assess and respond to a Visitor’s need for our Services and to contact the Visitor in order to provide further information regarding our Services and engage in additional marketing of our Services to such Visitors and their companies. More detail is provided below under the headings “What Personal Information do we process?” and “How do we use Personal Information we collect from and about Registrants?”. 3) What categories and specific Personal Information do we process? (a) User Personal Information. We collect and then otherwise process Personal Information that identifies or may be used to identify a User, including first and last name, company name, business email address, IP address, job responsibility or title, and telephone number. This identifying Personal Information may, in turn, be used to process additional Personal Information arising from a User’s use of the Services, which includes log files, event files, and other trace and diagnostic files, as well as statistical and aggregated information that relates to the use and operation of our Services and the systems and networks these Services run on, information that may be derived from IP address, such as geographic location, and information about a device a User uses, such as browser, device type and operating system. We do not process, and our Terms of Use, our Acceptable Use Policy and our contracts with our Customers prohibit any provision to us of, personal information that constitutes “sensitive personal information”, including, for example, governmentally assigned identification numbers, financial account numbers, or information about one or more factors specific to a person’s physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural identity or social status. Additionally, for our online educational programs and seminars, we may process the Personal Information a User provides to register as well as additional Personal Information resulting from a User’s use of such Services. We may provide this Personal Information to a User’s company (as identified by the User and/or as evidenced by the User’s use of the company’s email domain), regarding a User’s online educational program participation, a User’s performance (e.g. in taking tests for self-assessments or certifications), and a User’s educational program history. If one of our Customers is registering a User for access to and use of our Services, the Customer must provide all relevant notices to and obtain any consents from those Users required to share the Personal Information with us and such notices and consents must sufficiently inform such Users of the purposes for which Personal Information is being processed by us. (b) Transaction Information. Because LAS and EZLease only provide Services with respect to lease transactions between businesses (each a “Transaction”). Personal information included within a Transaction is generally limited the name, job title, email address, office address and phone number of individuals who are identified in the Transaction communications as contacts and in notice or contact provisions of or as signatories to the lease documentation as representatives of the lessee, lessor or other party to the Transaction. (c) Sourcing Application Information. Requests for proposals (“RFPs”) by Users seeking lease financing (“RFP Authors”) and any Personal Information included in those RFPs are available to multiple financing sources for bidding (“RFP Bidders”). RFPs and RFP Bidders’ proposal responses (“Proposals”) are private among the RFP Author, the responsive RFP Bidder and us. (d) Visitor Usage Information. Like most web-based services, we (or our service providers) may automatically collect information from a Visitor’s browser or device when using the Websites. See “How do we use cookies and similar technologies?” below. This could include the time and duration of each visit. If we combine any automatically collected information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information, and it will be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 4) How do we use a Registrant’s Personal Information we process? The following are examples of how we currently use Personal Information of our Registrants. These examples are not exclusive, but in all events, we use the Personal Information of our Registrants solely in connection with the provision of our Services. We use Personal Information of Registrants to administer our Customers’ contract with us, to provide support and respond to requests and inquiries, to improve the Services for all users, to monitor progress of a Users’ training and instruction and to log use of the Services, primarily for administration and security purposes. We use the Personal Information we capture in our Applications to facilitate communications with stakeholders involved in the leasing process and in lease accounting. We use any Personal Information that might be included in Registrant information and Transaction information to manage our business, verify the eligibility of users for our Application, validate the authenticity of the user, monitor compliance with our Customer contracts, Terms of Use and policies, process user requests and Transactions, contact users regarding their use of, changes to, or new Services available through our Applications, and for billing purposes, and do internal research on our Users’ interests and behavior to better understand and serve our users. We collect source IP addresses for all system activity in order to ensure audit trailing and to determine the source of any malicious use of the system. If you attend an event (including by telephone or video conferencing) , we may process information about you gathered in relation to the event and can share information about your attendance with your company. 5) What Personal Information do we disclose to third parties and why do we disclose it? We share User Personal Information throughout our organization, which includes our affiliates and with third parties. The following are examples of how we currently may share Personal Information. These examples are not exclusive, but we share the Personal Information solely in connection with our provision of the Services, to protect our rights or the rights of our Customers and our Users or as required by law or compulsory process. We never sell Personal Information of our Users to third parties. We may share Personal Information with third-party service providers (for example, data hosting/storage, virtual assistance and learning, service/support management, credit card processing services, order fulfilment, analytics, event/campaign management, website management, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, e-mail delivery, auditing, and other similar service providers) in order for those service providers to perform business functions on our behalf. We may share Personal Information with relevant third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock; We may share Personal Information with our Customer or its affiliates with whom the User is employed, engaged or deals, directly or indirectly, in connection with a Transaction or otherwise deals using our Applications. We may share Personal Information in the course of a Customer’s RFP activities – e.g. to allow sourcing participants to solicit, send out or respond to an RFP. We may share Personal Information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect a User’s safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests, including public and government authorities outside a User’s country of residence, for national security and/or law enforcement purposes or to comply with compulsory process, such as a subpoena. In sharing Personal Information with such third-parties, we take reasonable steps, to assure that the information is only processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may occasionally aggregate our User information or Transaction Information and disclose such information to third parties in aggregate form for a number of business purposes, including running and enhancing our Application and Website. In these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify an individual. 6) How long do we retain Personal Information? Personal Information about our Registrants that we collect in performing our Services for a Customer will be retained for the duration of the services contract with the Customer and thereafter, as necessary for us to comply with our post termination obligations to the Customer and to comply with applicable law. Personal Information about our Visitors will be retained so long as we determine that such information may still facilitate our sales or marketing efforts. 7) How do we manage processing of Personal Information by Customers? The Applications provide each Customer the opportunity to process Personal Information of its users’. Each Customer is solely responsible for, and we have no control over and do not audit, a Customer’s processing activities using our Applications. 8) How do we use cookies and similar technologies?
