VEILWATCH Website Privacy Policy
1. Introduction and Scope
This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) governs your access to and use of the website located at the URL veilwatch.com (the “Website”). The Website is operated by VEILWATCH and is made available on behalf of VEILWATCH, VEILWATCH Global, and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, partnerships, successors, assigns, and any other VEILWATCH-branded or VEILWATCH-affiliated entity operating in any jurisdiction worldwide (collectively, “VEILWATCH,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
VEILWATCH operates across dozens of global jurisdictions, including (without limitation) the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Antigua and Barbuda, the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, the Union of the Comoros, the Argentine Republic, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and various additional jurisdictions throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Each such jurisdiction maintains its own legal regime, privacy regulations, data protection statutes, regulatory frameworks, and enforcement bodies, all of which are complex, evolving, and at times contradictory. This Policy addresses the Website only, and is not intended to harmonize, summarize, or comply with the laws of any particular jurisdiction beyond those expressly invoked herein.
THIS POLICY APPLIES SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY TO YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF veilwatch.com. It does not apply to, and shall not be construed to apply to, any other website, web application, mobile application, software platform, application programming interface, hardware product, government-deployed system, customer-deployed system, contractor-deployed system, internal system, intranet, extranet, partner portal, support portal, administrative portal, or any other digital, physical, or hybrid product, service, or property owned, operated, hosted, licensed, distributed, deployed, or otherwise made available by VEILWATCH or any of its affiliates (each, a “VEILWATCH Product” and collectively, “VEILWATCH Products”). VEILWATCH Products are governed by separate privacy notices, data processing agreements, terms of service, master services agreements, statements of work, end-user license agreements, government contracts, and other instruments, each of which takes precedence with respect to those VEILWATCH Products and is entirely independent of this Policy.
For the avoidance of doubt, the privacy practices applied to customers, end users, government agencies, regulated entities, applicants, licensees, employees, contractors, vendors, business partners, and other counterparties of VEILWATCH and its affiliates with respect to VEILWATCH Products are governed exclusively by the contractual, statutory, regulatory, and operational instruments specific to those Products, and are not modified, supplemented, displaced, or otherwise affected by this Policy.

7. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Automated Data Collection
The Website uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, server logs, fingerprinting techniques, software development kits, tag management systems, and other tracking and data collection technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies may be set or operated by VEILWATCH, by service providers acting on its behalf, or by third parties whose technologies are integrated into the Website.
By accessing the Website, you consent to the use of all such Tracking Technologies. Most browsers permit you to refuse, restrict, or delete cookies through browser settings. The Website does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals, Global Privacy Control signals, or other browser-based opt-out mechanisms, and VEILWATCH expressly disclaims any obligation to honor such signals to the maximum extent permitted by law.

- the operation of the Website does not, on its own, satisfy the applicability thresholds (revenue, data volume, processing volume, sale of data, or similar) of any State Privacy Law as applied to VEILWATCH with respect to the Website;
- to the extent any State Privacy Law nonetheless applies to any processing under this Policy, all applicable statutory exemptions, exceptions, and carve-outs (including those for publicly available information, deidentified or aggregated data, business-to-business communications, employment-related data, and data regulated under GLBA, HIPAA, FCRA, FERPA, or DPPA, as well as those for fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, and the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims) are hereby invoked to the maximum extent permitted;

“Sale” and “Sharing” Disclosure. To the extent that the disclosures described in Section 6 constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under any State Privacy Law, you are hereby informed that VEILWATCH may sell and share personal information, and your continued use of the Website constitutes your consent thereto.
9. International Visitors; GDPR and UK GDPR
The Website is operated from, and primarily directed to users located in, the United States.

16. Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
- Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (or, for commercial parties, its Commercial Arbitration Rules). The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, before a single arbitrator, in the English language. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including any question concerning the existence, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
- Class Action Waiver. YOU AND VEILWATCH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, that claim shall be severed and litigated in court, and all other claims shall remain subject to arbitration.
- Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND VEILWATCH EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Policy or the Website.
- Exception; Forum for Non-Arbitrable Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, or trade secrets. Any claim that is not arbitrable as a matter of law shall be brought exclusively in such courts. You consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
- Limitations Period. Any Dispute must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred.
