Notwithstanding the foregoing, you expressly authorize Clerky to use and process User Content as described in the Clerky Privacy Policy, which, includes provision for delivering certain User Content in accordance with your use of the Services and sharing User Content with individuals who are authorized to view User Content or approve or sign documents in accordance with your use of the Services. Confidential Information will always remain the property of its owner.
If Recipient is required by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, Recipient will give Disclosing Party prompt written notice before making the disclosure, unless prohibited from doing so by the legal or administrative process, and will cooperate with Disclosing Party to obtain where reasonably available an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure.
You consent to have your personal data collected, used, transferred to and processed in the United States. We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You agree that you provide your personal information and other data provided to Clerky at your own risk.
