Certain parts of this Privacy Statement, including Section 6 below, specifically apply to personal information collected, used, retained, or disclosed by Aventiv while acting in the capacity of a “data controller” or a “business”, as those terms are defined across data privacy laws throughout the United States and abroad, for the purposes and legal basis set out in further detail below. For example, when individuals access and use any one of our websites and we place cookies in their browser or when individuals create accounts within our platform/ portal and provide certain personal information (such as name and email address) that is used for authentication purposes, we act as a data controller.
Our services are provided pursuant to contracts with government agencies (our “Customers”) for professional use. In providing these services, we process personal information relating to consumers or end-users (“Customer Data”) on behalf of and at the direction of our Customers as a “data processor” or “service provider”.

When collecting, using, and disclosing personal information for their own purposes, our Customers are responsible for making their own disclosures concerning the rights of individuals with respect to personal information and other information regarding data collection and use, in accordance with applicable law. If you are a consumer end-user of one of those parties or organizations, you should direct any privacy inquiries to the relevant party. You are also strongly encouraged to read our Biometric Policy in Section 14 below which sets forth the terms under which Aventiv collects Biometric Information (as defined below) as may be required by our Customers.

The information collected automatically through these tools allows us to improve your customer and end-user experience. For example, we may use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to monitor and improve our Services, and to improve the effectiveness of our Services, offers, advertising, communications, features such as live and automated chat and customer service.

In accordance with applicable privacy laws, you may have the following rights in respect of your personal information that we’re processing as a data controller:
- Right of access. You have the right to obtain:

- information about the categories of personal information we are processing, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and information as to how we determine applicable retention periods;

NOTE: IN THE CASE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE PROCESS ON BEHALF OF OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE CAPACITY OF A ‘DATA PROCESSOR’, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT YOUR INQUIRY OR REQUEST TO THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT HAS INSTRUCTED US TO PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. THIS IS GENERALLY THE AGENCY AT WHICH YOU AND/OR YOUR INCARCERATED CONTACT WERE INCARCERATED OR USED OUR SERVICES TO TRANSACT WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS INCARCERATED. WE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, DISCLOSURES OR DELETIONS TO ANY OF THE PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PROCESSED BY US AS A ‘DATA PROCESSOR’ UNLESS WE ARE GIVEN STRICT INSTRUCTIONS TO DO SO BY OUR CUSTOMER.
11. Data Retention
We store the personal information we collect about you for no longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, and in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests. The criteria used to determine the period for which personal data about you will be retained varies depending on the legal basis under which we process the personal data. For example:
- Contract. Where we are processing personal data based on contract, we generally will retain your personal data for the timeframe set forth in the contract or the period of time that is necessary to comply with law or that represents the statute of limitations for legal claims that could arise from our contractual relationship.
- Legitimate Interests. Where we are processing personal data based on our legitimate interests, we generally will retain such information for a reasonable period of time based on the particular interest, taking into account your fundamental interests and your rights and freedoms.
- Consent. Where we are processing personal data based on your consent, we generally will retain your personal data until you withdraw your consent, or otherwise for the period of time necessary to fulfill the underlying agreement or provide you with the applicable service for which we process that personal data.
- Legal Obligation. Where we are processing personal data based on a legal obligation, we generally will retain your personal data for the period of time necessary to fulfill the legal obligation.
- Legal Claim. We may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim or intent to establish a claim. In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or threat of claim has been resolved.
We also consider the volume, nature, and sensitivity of your personal information, as well as any potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of that personal information.
12. Third Party Services
We may use Third Party Services (as defined below) to operate, maintain, and manage our Services and to provide services and support.
The Services have functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions with Third-Party Services (each, a “Third-Party Service”). By using a Third-Party Service, the third party provider may collect and send us personal information about you. If you use Third-Party Services, information you post or provide access to may be publicly displayed on the Services and/or by the Third-Party Service that you use, depending on your privacy settings on each. Similarly, if you post information on a Third-Party Service that references the Services (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with us in a tweet or status update), your post may be used on or in connection with the Services or otherwise by us. Also, both we and the third-party service provider may have access to certain information about you and your use of the Services and any Third-Party Service.
Third-Party Service providers may use their own cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to independently, collect information about you, including Third-Party Services to which you are directed from the Services, including where you click a link and leave the Services entirely. There are certain websites and other Third-Party Services to which we may link from the Services, which are third-party websites using our name under license but with their own terms and policies (except where we have explicitly linked to this Privacy Statement).
We are not responsible for the policies or business practices of Third-Party Service providers, including how they collect, use, or share your information, including through tracking technologies that collect information regarding your visit to the Services as well as after your visit is over. These Third-Party Services may have their own terms of service, privacy policies or other policies, for which they may request your agreement. Be sure to review any available policies before submitting any Personal Information to or otherwise interacting with any Third-Party Services.
13. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and other Automated Technologies
In our capacity as both data controller and data processor, we may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated systems, and similar technologies (“AI Technologies”) to support, operate, protect, analyze, improve, and develop our Services, including to provide customer service and technical support, verify information, maintain and secure accounts, detect and prevent fraud or misuse, monitor compliance with applicable terms and policies, troubleshoot issues, improve Service functionality, and conduct internal research and development. AI Technologies may process personal information that we collect or receive in connection with the Services, including identifiers, account and transaction information, Service usage information, communications information, audiovisual information, geolocation data, biometric data, sensitive personal information, and inferences drawn from personal information, depending on the Services you use and the context in which the information is collected.
We may use AI Technologies to help us generate, classify, summarize, search, analyze, or otherwise process information in order to provide and improve the Services, support customer and technical service interactions, enhance security and reliability, identify potentially fraudulent, abusive, unsafe, or unlawful activity, and support our contractual obligations to our customers. Where we provide Services to government agencies as a data processor, personal information and other data may be accessed, stored, monitored, searched, analyzed, disclosed, and transferred in accordance with applicable law and our contractual obligations to those entities.
As part of our enterprise recruitment process, we may use AI-enabled technologies to assist in screening, assessing, and managing candidate applications. These tools help improve efficiency and consistency but are not the sole basis for employment decisions. Human review remains a component of the decision-making process. Candidate personal data used in connection with AI-assisted processing is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our privacy practices, including without limitation, obtaining affirmative consents from candidates as and when required by applicable law.
We may use vendors and other service providers that use AI Technologies to provide services on our behalf, including customer service tools, technical support tools, analytics services, security tools, hosting services, and other operational technologies. For example, if you use a chat or similar support feature, the information you provide through that feature may be recorded, processed, and shared with our vendors so that we can provide customer service and technical support, and those vendors may use automated systems that employ machine learning to process that information.
We may use de-identified, aggregated, or otherwise non-identifying information to train, test, evaluate, improve, or develop AI Technologies and other features, products, and services. We will not attempt to reidentify information that we maintain as deidentified, and we take reasonable measures designed to ensure that deidentified information cannot reasonably be associated with a consumer or household. We also contractually obligate recipients of deidentified information not to reidentify that information where required by applicable law.
We do not use AI Technologies to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning end users unless we provide any notice, consent, opt-out, appeal, or other rights required by applicable law. If we materially change our use of AI Technologies or begin using AI Technologies for automated decision-making or profiling that is subject to consumer rights under applicable privacy laws, we will update this Privacy Statement and provide any required notices and rights.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using personal information, including sensitive personal information, with AI Technologies for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which the information was originally collected. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information and we do not knowingly sell, share, or process for targeted advertising the personal information of consumers under the age of 16.
14. Biometric Policy
This section describes how Aventiv collects and uses Biometric Information (as defined below) in connection with our Identity Verification Features (as defined below). Aventiv together with our service providers collect and use various forms of Biometric Information that may be necessary to verify your identity and provide our services.

Identity Verification Features Overview: Many of our services incorporate identity verification features which utilize the microphone or camera or both, depending on the Service, on the device that you are using (the “Identity Verification Features”). The Biometric Information that is collected via any of the Identity Verification Features is then used by Aventiv to verify your identity and secure our services.
- Definition of Biometric Information: As used in this Privacy Statement, “Biometric Information” means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored or shared, based on one or more of an individual’s biometric identifiers, including a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, hand scan or facial geometry.

- Disclosure of Biometric Information: Except as required by law or where we act as a Government Processor, your Biometric Information is accessible only to Aventiv and our service providers processing data on our behalf. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from Biometric Information. We may disclose your Biometric Information if:
- we are providing services as a Government Processor;
- you or your authorized representative consents to the disclosure;
- the disclosure is required pursuant to a valid warrant, subpoena, or other legal process.
Secure Storage: Aventiv protects your Biometric Information using a reasonable standard of care at least as protective as the standard used for other confidential and sensitive personal information in its possession or under its control.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT COOKIES
Browser and Platform Controls. To manage cookies on our Sites, including to opt out from targeted advertising you have several options.
- Cookie Controls. You can use the controls available through our website cookie banner to decline advertising-related cookies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.
- Global Privacy Control. You can use the Global Privacy Control setting in a web browser or browser extension. Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales and/or targeted advertising, as specified by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting or similar control that is recognized by regulation or otherwise widely acknowledged as a valid opt-out preference signal.
- Mobile Advertising ID Controls. You can manage your mobile advertising ID controls. For example, iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.
- OneTrust. We also utilize Cookies by OneTrust by provider OneTrust LLC, 1200 Abernathy Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328 ("OneTrust") across our Services. OneTrust is used to operate both the cookie banner and to manage user consents for the usage of cookies across our Services. You can use the management tools supplied by OneTrust to manage your cookies.
Do Not Track. Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Unlike the GPC described above, there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal; therefore, our websites do not respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the GPC, cookie controls, and advertising controls described above.
Email web beacons. Most email clients have settings that allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, and the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.
Depending on your device and operating system, you may not be able to delete or block all cookies. In addition, if you want to reject cookies across all your browsers and devices, you will need to do so on each browser on each device you actively use. You may also set your email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether you have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it.
You can view the cookies used across our Services at any time in the OneTrust cookie management tool.
