Confidentiality is our priority.
OffRecord is committed to protecting your privacy and any information you submit to us in order that we may evaluate your claim. We will encrypt the information you submit to us using secure socket layer (SSL). In addition, we strongly suggest that you use a secure browser when filling out OffRecord’s short or long form. For example, you can download www.TorProject.org for free, then access OffRecord’s website. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the internet. You can learn more about the Tor Project on their website. You can learn more about taking additional precautions on keeping your personal information confidential at the OffRecord website “Keep Confidentiality?” www.OffRecord.com/?q=how-do-i/keep-confidentiality.
We work hard to protect OffRecord and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information. We review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we aim to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Use of your personal information.
OffRecord will use the information you provide us to determine the viability of your claim. We also use your personal information to communicate with you in order to further evaluate your claim.
In addition, we may use the information you provide us to provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you; if you would prefer not to have your email address used in this way, please let us know by sending an email to edwardealexander3@gmail.com.
Only necessary third party disclosure.
In order for OffRecord to investigate your claim, we may need to disclose the information you provide us to certain third parties, ie. attorneys, accountants, or other professionals for the sole purpose of evaluating your claim and to offer further services in connection with your claim. Those service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose than for delivering the service to OffRecord in accordance with OffRecord’s instructions and policies and this Privacy Policy. Please note that if OffRecord sells all or a portion of its business or assets, OffRecord reserves the right to transfer customer information to the acquirer as a part of that acquisition. OffRecord will require that the acquirer maintain the confidentiality of the information consistent with this Privacy Policy. By furnishing any such information to us, you expressly consent to the use of your information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Apart from this, Off Record will disclose personal information only when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial request, as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website (b) enforce applicable terms of use or other contract rights, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues (including abuse of our products or services by spamming or other abuses of netiquette, and use of our products or services to attack other systems or gain unauthorized access to any other system).
You can contact OffRecord with any inquiries or complaints regarding the types of third parties to which we disclose your information and the manner in which we limit its use at the following email address: edwardealexander3@gmail.com.

OffRecord does not use cookies or other forms of identification to track visitors on its website.
Links to other sites.
If you click on a link to a third party site, you will leave the OffRecord site you are visiting and be redirected to the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personally identifiable information that you provide to such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy practices as OffRecord. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any other service provider from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that is reached through a link on the OffRecord website, you should read that site’s privacy policy before providing any personally identifiable information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy.
OffRecord will occasionally update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our services and respond to customer feedback.

If there are material changes to this policy or in how OffRecord will use your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review our Privacy Policy to be informed of how OffRecord is protecting your information.
