We collect and store Personal Data provided to us by individuals, law firms, business organizations, and government entities (each, a “Customer”, and collectively, our “Customers”) who sign agreements with us to use our software. Personal Data we receive from Customers are names, addresses, email addresses, email content, file-shares and other Personal Data identifiable to an individual. Any Personal Data received from our Customers is used strictly for the business purposes defined in the software agreement between a Customer and DISCO. It is not shared with third parties except in compliance with the provisions of the software agreement between a Customer and DISCO, and in such a case, such Personal Data is shared only with third parties who are authorized to receive it under the provisions of the software agreement, which may include without limitation, parties or counsel involved in litigation or other forms of dispute resolution, DISCO affiliates or service providers, and DISCO subprocessors as defined in DISCO’s Data Processing Addendum. Such sharing occurs solely to permit DISCO to exercise its rights and satisfy its obligations pursuant to the software agreement between a Customer and DISCO.
