While these extensive measures assist us, it is not possible to ensure complete security of your information in all cases. Protect your own personal information by selecting strong passwords and being proactive in detecting phishing or other suspicious activity.

• Non-identifiable aggregate data may be kept indefinitely for analytical purposes, including statistics.

When your personal information is no longer necessary, we will delete, destroy, or anonymize the data securely as appropriate, so that it cannot be reconstructed.

Disclosure and Sharing of Information

We value your privacy and are open about how we may share your information. RP6 Legal Insights will not use, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. We may disclose your information to third parties only in the following situations:

External Links and Third-Party Websites

Our website may include links to third-party websites, resources, or services that are not owned or controlled by us. These external links are governed by their respective privacy policies and information practices. We do not control, and assume no responsibility for, the privacy or security of any information you provide to any third party. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any outside sites before disclosing information to them. The presence of any such third-party link on our site does not indicate that we endorse, or have an association with, the companies to whom their websites are linked.

Children’s Information

The RP6 Legal Insights blog is not intended for those under the age of 16 or non-adults. We do not intentionally collect information on any person under the age of 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take reasonable measures to delete it. If you have knowledge that any child has given us their information, please write us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate actions.

International Audiences and Data Transfers

While most of the content available through RP6 Legal Insights is stored and archived in the United States, our website is made available worldwide. If you are visiting this website from a location outside the U.S., the information you provide us may be transferred, stored, and processed in the U.S. or another country. These countries may have different data protection laws than your home jurisdiction. By using this website, you authorize us to transfer your information in this way. We take appropriate measures to keep your data secure in accordance with relevant law, wherever it is processed.

Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

RP6 Legal Insights processes personal data on the basis of legitimate interests pursued by ourselves or a third party, contractual necessity, legal compliance, and where applicable, on the basis of your consent. Our legitimate interests include providing accurate legal content, properly operating and securing our site, and communicating with our visitors and customers. In cases where we are processing personal data on the basis of your consent – for example, email marketing lists – you have a right to withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not impact the lawfulness of previous processing.

Data Breach Notification Procedures

In the event of a data breach where the security of your personal information is compromised, RP6 Legal Insights will take prompt action to limit the exposure as far as possible. We will inform affected users and authorities as required by applicable law or regulation. Our notification will contain information regarding the breach, the information being compromised, the measures that we have taken to rectify it, and what has been recommended for you to do to best protect yourself. We will always strive towards full transparency and accountability regarding any issues with our data holdings.

We will maintain all responses for repeat assessments and re-evaluation.

We are committed to protecting our systems from security threats. We advise users not to send data over unsecured channels, and to keep their email passwords and account details private. Only after such measures are deliberated do we transmit sensitive content via user-nominated channels. Users are encouraged to immediately change their email password or details following a reported data breach. These security measures are similar to standard cybersecurity protocols, as they involve end-user input and identity verification processes.

Data Secrecy Obligations

While RP6 Legal Insights does our part to protect your information, you also have a responsibility to help us protect your personal data. For this reason, we highly recommend that you:

• Select strong passwords for your online accounts
• Not divulge sensitive information to those unqualified to receive it under any circumstance
• Take care against phishing and email messages that purport to be from RP6 Legal Insights
• Sign out of the account you are using if you are working from a shared or public computer

If you believe your data has been breached, email [email protected] or call (646) 636-4515.
