2.1 Personal Privacy Service Info
If purchased, the Personal Privacy Service will regularly use your Information to scan online data source websites (the "Data Sites") for personal information about you. Sometimes these websites are called people search sites. If online personal information about you is identified at these Data Sites, we will submit opt-out requests on your behalf to remove it ("Opt-out"). You can go to the Law Firm Privacy site at any time to see if online personal information about you was found at these websites and whether the opt-out was successful.
We may change the Data Sites that are being scanned at any time without notice to you.

In order to submit an Opt-out request to remove your information from Data Sites, we may need to interact with Data Sites on your behalf.

In other instances, a Data Site may fail to honor or properly respond to an Opt-out request.
You understand and agree that Law Firm is not responsible for the actions or inactions of any of these Data Sites, and that Law Firm makes no representations, warranties or guarantees related to such Data Sites.
