This Privacy Policy applies to individuals who access this website, our web-based software platform, and mobile application (the “Sites”) and any of our online, and where required, offline services (the “Services”).
From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy. If we do, we will post an amended version on this webpage.

If required by applicable data protection laws, we will obtain your consent to any material changes. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically.
Please also refer to our Terms of Service regarding the proper usage of the Sites and Services.
This Privacy Policy covers the following topics:
What is Kaseware?
Kaseware is the premier investigative platform. It easily manages your investigations, cases, records, evidence and more, while providing convenient features like analytics, driver’s license scanning, and auto-fill so you never have to fill out duplicate forms again. We come from decades of law enforcement and corporate security experience. As a result, we built the system we wish we would have had – one that makes your job easier and the world a safer place.
Kaseware’s offices are located at 191 University Blvd #170, Denver, Colorado, 80206. Kaseware is the data controller of all personal data collected from residents of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, unless specified otherwise.

For detailed privacy information related to a Kaseware customer who uses the Kaseware software platform and mobile application as the controller, please contact the customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers.

Google reCAPTCHA works by transmitting certain types of information to Google, such as the referrer URL, IP address, visitor behavior, operating system information, browser and length of the visit, cookies, and mouse movements. Your use of Google reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. More information as to Google reCAPTCHA and how it works is available here.
International Data Transfers
We operate internationally and transfer information to the United States for the purposes described in this policy. The United States may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from, and are potentially less protective than, the laws of your country. Your personal data can be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to the laws of the United States.
For any transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we use appropriate safeguards to ensure for the law processing and transfer of the personal data, including, when appropriate, the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Data Retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collect it and as set out in this Privacy Policy and for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements that apply to us.
“Do Not Track” Signals
Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, the Sites do not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt-out of the sale of certain types of personal information.

Your Personal Data and Your Rights – Europe and the United Kingdom Only
If you are in a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in the United Kingdom, you are entitled to the following explanation of the legal bases we rely on to process your personal data and a description of your privacy rights.
Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Data
The legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described above will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
Consent
We may process your personal data based on your consent such as when you create an account or when you ask us to send certain kinds of marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Our Legitimate Interests
We may process your personal data if doing so is necessary for our legitimate interests and your rights as an individual do not override those legitimate interests.

To Perform a Contract
We may process your personal data to administer and fulfill contractual obligations to you.
To Enable Us to Comply with a Legal Obligation
We may process your personal data to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject. This may include any requirement to produce audited accounts and to comply with legal process.

Your Rights
Access Your Personal Data
You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal data about you and, if so, the right to be provided with the information contained in this Privacy Policy. You also have the right to receive a copy of the personal data undergoing processing.
Rectify Your Personal Data
You have the right to ask us to rectify any inaccurate personal data about you and to have incomplete personal data completed.

You contest the accuracy of the information that we hold about you, while we verify its accuracy;
-
We have used your information unlawfully, but you request us to restrict its use instead of erasing it;
-
We no longer need the information for the purpose for which we collected it, but you need it to deal with a legal claim; or
-
You have objected to us using your information, while we check whether our legitimate grounds override your right to object.
Object to Our Use of Your Personal Data
You have the right to object to our use of your personal data where our reason for using it is based on our legitimate interests or your consent (rather than when the reason for using it is to perform an obligation due to you under a contract with us).

We have been using it with no valid legal basis;

We are obligated to erase it to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
-
We need your consent to use the information and you withdraw consent;
-
You object to us processing your personal data where our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
However, this right is not absolute. Even if you make a request for deletion, we may need to retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes, such as record keeping, maintenance of opt-out requirements, defending or making legal claims, or detecting fraudulent activities. We will retain information in accordance with the “Data Retention” section.
If you do exercise a valid right to have your personal data deleted, please keep in mind that deletion by third parties to whom the information has been provided might not be immediate and that the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period (but will not be available to others).
Transfer Your Personal Data to Another Service Provider
You may request that we transfer some of the personal data you have provided to you or another service provider in electronic copy. This applies to personal data we are processing to service a contract with you and to personal data we are processing based on your consent.

If you have any concerns or complaints regarding our processing of your personal data, please contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below and we will do our best to answer any question and resolve any complaint to your satisfaction.
