Who we are

Shorward is operated by Media Yard LLC, PO Box 73, Pennsauken, NJ 08110, USA. We are the controller of the personal data described here. For data that a customer uploads to the service, we act as that customer's processor under the Data Processing Addendum. UK and EU details are on UK & EU. Contact: [email protected].

Why we use it, and our legal basis

We don't sell personal data, use it for advertising, or make decisions about people that have legal or similarly significant effects on them. Reports rate organizations' systems, not individuals.

Who we share it with

We share personal data only with the providers listed on Subprocessors, who process it for us under written contracts. We also share it when the law requires, or as part of a merger or sale, in which case this notice keeps applying.

International transfers

Some of our providers process data in the United States and other countries. When personal data from the UK, EEA or Switzerland is transferred, we rely on an adequacy decision (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension, where the provider is certified) or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses with the UK Addendum. Details are on UK & EU.

How long we keep it

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or move your personal data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Residents of California and other US states have similar rights, and we honor them the same way. We don't sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Email [email protected]. We reply within one month. We may need to confirm your identity first. If you're in the UK or EU, you can also complain to your data protection authority. See UK & EU.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Our fonts are served from our own domain. Our hosting provider may set strictly necessary security cookies to block attacks. When accounts open, we'll use a strictly necessary sign-in cookie, and we'll update this section.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our providers, and access is limited to the people and systems that need it. See Security.

Children

The service is for businesses and isn't directed at children under 16.

Changes

We'll post updates here with a new date, and email account holders about material changes.
