This Policy may be amended or updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices

Sensitive Personal Information
Sensitive Personal Information Section Summary: We do not seek to collect or otherwise process
your Sensitive Personal Information.
We do not collect or otherwise Process Personal Information about race or ethnicity, political
opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health,
any actual or alleged criminal offences or penalties, or any other information that may be deemed
to be sensitive under GDPR (collectively, “Sensitive Personal Information”) in the ordinary

credit card number, CVV, routing number, etc).
Related Entities
Diligence stores and aggregates report data within Customer Applications so we can build and
continually improve our industry benchmark database, financial models, and other products.
eDiligence will not publish or sell User Information or Personal Information without your
express permission, and we agree to maintain the confidentiality of your information within these
applications. eDiligence reserves the right to use any User Information for internal quality
control and product development as necessary to support product development. In addition,
eDiligence reserves the right to freely use, sell, and distribute all data provided by users from
which eDiligence has removed Personal information or otherwise de-identified such data.
eDiligence’s use may include the future development of financial models, indices, or other
reports derived from the financial data entered. You should not enter data or other information
into our applications if you do not want your or your client data being used in this manner or
contributed to our aggregate database.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your User
Information. Please ensure that any Personal Information that you send to us is sent securely. We
have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect
your User Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized
disclosure, unauthorized access, and other unlawful or unauthorized forms of Processing, in
accordance with applicable law.
eDiligence further protects User Information, Personal Information, and other content stored on
our systems used to host the Customer Applications. These systems use industry standard
computer security products and perimeter protections that include firewalls, intrusion detection
systems, host and firewall logging, and real-time monitoring. In addition to the encryption of
data in transit as described above, data entered into Customer Applications also remains
encrypted at rest using Advanced Encryption Standard database-level encryption.
Because the internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure, and we cannot guarantee there will not be a breach, and we are not
responsible for any breach of security or for the actions of any third parties. Although we will
implement reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of
your data transmitted to us using the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you
are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Information that you send to us are sent securely.
Data Accuracy
We take reasonable precautions to ensure that your User Information is kept accurate and up-to-
date and are erased or rectified if we become aware of inaccuracies. We take reasonable
precautions to ensure that your User Information that we Process is accurate and, where
necessary, kept up to date, and any of your User Information that we Process that you inform us
is inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) is erased or rectified.
Data Minimization
We take reasonable precautions to limit the volume of your User Information that we Process to
what is necessary. We take reasonable precautions to ensure that your User Information that we
Process is limited to the User Information reasonably necessary in connection with the purposes
set out in this Policy or as required to provide you services or access to the Services.
Data Retention
We take reasonable precautions to ensure that your User Information is only retained for as long
as they are needed. We take reasonable precautions to ensure that your User Information is only
Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. The criteria
for determining the duration for which we will keep your User Information are as follows: we
will retain copies of your User Information in a form that permits identification only for as long
as is necessary in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy, unless applicable law
requires a longer retention period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the
information, we plan to retain it for no longer than is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business need.
eDiligence utilizes a third-party company and historical data to provide users with accurate
predictive analytics. However, to deliver specific predictions to our customers, your company’s
data may be requested and stored. Ownership of the data entered into Customer Applications
remains that of the customer, and eDiligence. Customer Application users have full control of all
data, including User Information and Personal Information, that is entered in the application.
eDiligence commits to maintaining the above measures and to working with our customers to
monitor and modify our programs as needed to address any security concerns.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We may Process your User Information by placing or reading Cookies and similar technologies
on the Services and Channels. Certain tracking technologies enable us to assign a unique
identifier to you, and relate information about your use of the Services to Other Information
about you, including your User Information for the purposes of learning more about you so we
can provide you with relevant content. We and our partners also use these technologies to
analyze trends; administer the Services; collect and store information such as user settings and
anonymous browser identifiers; supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and
response measurement; track users’ location and movements around the Services; gather
demographic information about our user base; and to improve our understanding of traffic on the
Services, visitor behavior, and responses to marketing campaigns.
When you receive email messages or newsletters from us, we may use web beacons, customized
links, clear GIFs, or similar technologies to determine whether the email has been opened and
which links you click in order to provide you with more focused email communications or other
information, and/or to aggregate that information with other data we collect to use for some or all
of the purposes outlined in this Policy.
We and our partners (including but not limited to e-commerce partners, affiliates, and analytics
providers) also may use technologies such as pixel tags, e-tags, IP addresses, Local Shared

viewing history; supplement our server logs and other methods of traffic and response
measurement; track users’ location and movements around the Services; gather demographic
information about our user base; and to improve our understanding of traffic on the Services,
visitor behavior, and responses to promotional campaigns. We may receive reports based on the
use of these technologies by these third-party companies on an individual and aggregated basis.
For example, we may connect information about your IP address to known corporate or User
Information and use the associated information related to aggregate content preferences to assist
in our efforts to market services to you or the originating corporation(s). Various browsers may
offer their own management tools for removing Local Storage.
