PRIVACY OVERVIEW:

What information does Squabble collect?

Squabble collects information to help make your Squabble experience not only possible, but great—whether that's connecting Squabbling Parties and CSMs, helping you get where you're going, improving safety, or keeping you in touch with us and others. This includes information you provide to us, like your account information, and information we collect when you use our services, like your location.

How does Squabble use my location information?

Squabble helps you get where you want to go. This means that location information is essential to our services. We use it to help Squabbling Parties and CSM-partners find each other, determine the best routes, enable users to track their progress and share ETAs with friends, develop new features and services, enhance safety and security, and for other purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

Does Squabble share my information with anyone?

Some of Squabble's products, services, and features involve sharing information with other users. For example, when you enter a dispute, the specifics are shared with a CSM. We may also share information at your request, such as when you use a feature like ETA sharing to share your dispute status with family and friends. We may also share your information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and business partners, or for legal reasons or in the event of a dispute.

Does Squabble rent or sell my information?

No. Squabble does not rent or sell your personal data to anyone.

How long does Squabble keep my information?

Squabble keeps your information as long as you have a Squabble account. You can request to delete your account or ask us to delete specific information like synced contacts. In some cases, Squabble may keep some information after you ask us to delete your account, including when we're required to by law, if there are outstanding issues related to your account (like unused credits), or if it's necessary for safety and security purposes.

How do I look up or control the information that Squabble collects about me?

Through our apps and websites, and the device settings on your phone, you can:

  • look up your own Squabbling Party and CSM ratings
  • set or change your privacy settings, including location, address book and calendar information
  • opt-out of receiving promotional communications from Squabble
  • delete your Squabble account (although we would be sorry to see you go)

 

You can also contact us through the Help section in our mobile apps and our Privacy page if you have additional questions or concerns about the information Squabble collects about you.

How do I request a copy of my data?

You can request a copy of your data at info@squabbleapp.com. The process usually takes a couple of days, and you can learn more squabbleapp.com/privacy about the type of data that is included.

How do I submit a question to Squabble's Data Protection Officer (DPO), and what is their role?

Squabble's DPO is responsible for guiding our compliance with privacy regulation in the EU. They are the point of contact for European privacy regulators and questions and concerns from our users about data privacy.

If you have additional questions about your personal data after reading our FAQ, you may contact our DPO by emailing info@squabbleapp.com.

COOKIE POLICY GLOBAL

Effective Date: April 16, 2019

We and our affiliates, third parties, and other partners use cookies and other identification International on our websites, mobile applications, email communications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the “Services”) for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Services. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.

Cookies and Related International Overview

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that are used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits. We also utilize other International that may identify you or the devices you use. For example, “pixel tags” (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, advertising identifiers, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. “Local storage” refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache). “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.

Advertising Synchronization & Relevancy

In order to facilitate the most relevant ads possible, Squabble works with various service providers who assist us in delivering similar ads to end users across devices and platforms. For example, we work with social media advertising services to provide you with relevant ads based on your Squabble activity through their media channels. We may also use service providers to provide you with a similar ad on a mobile website or mobile application as with a traditional website ad. See below for more information on your choices to limit these types of advertising.

Your Choices

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, they are an important part of how our Services work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services.

 

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. To do so, please follow the instructions provided by your browser which are usually located within the “Help” or “Preferences” menu. Some third parties also provide the ability to refuse their cookies directly by clicking on an opt-out link, and we have indicated where this is possible in the table below.

Removing or rejecting browser cookies does not necessarily affect third-party flash cookies which may be used by us or our partners in connection with our Services. To delete or disable flash cookies please visit this site for more information. For further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, you can visit https://youradchoices.com/ and www.youronlinechoices.eu for EU visitors.

 

For mobile users, you have controls in your device Operating System that enables you to choose whether to allow cookies, or share your advertising ID with companies like Squabble or our advertising service providers. For information on controlling your mobile choices, you can visit www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choices.

Squabble Guidelines for Third Party Data Requests and Service of Legal Documents

The following guidelines are intended to inform private parties, including civil litigants and criminal defendants, about the legal process for seeking records from Squabble. These are merely guidelines, and this information may change at any time.

 

These guidelines apply to non-law enforcement requests. For law enforcement requests, we recommend browsing Guidelines for Law Enforcement Authorities.

Squabble Guidelines for Law Enforcement Authorities - United States

We provide the following operational guidelines for law enforcement officials seeking information from Squabble International, Inc., and its subsidiaries. We may change these guidelines without notice. Law enforcement officials outside the United States should consult Squabble Guidelines for Law Enforcement Authorities - Outside the US.Private parties, including civil litigants and criminal defendants, should consult our Guidelines for Third Party Data

Requests.

In some cases, law enforcement may find that a Squabbling Party or Squabble CSM who has filed a complaint can directly provide the best evidence. We send a dispute receipt by email immediately after each dispute. These receipts have detailed information about the dispute including the date, time, pickup and drop off locations, route, distance, duration, fare breakdown, method of payment, and the names of the Squabbling Party and CSM. Squabbling Parties and CSMs can access dispute receipts and invoices for past disputes using Squabble or their online account.

About Squabble

Squabble is a technology company with a proprietary technology application (the “App”) that provides on-demand lead generation and related services. The App connects independent providers of dispute resolution services with requests from Squabbling Parties requesting dispute resolution services. CSMs provide dispute resolution services to Squabbling Parties through a range of offerings based on dispute type and/or the number of Squabbling Parties. You can find up-to-date information about Squabble's services in our Help Center and Newsroom.

Business Records

We store and maintain information as described in our Privacy Statements and Terms of Use. This includes information contained in dispute receipts available to Squabbling Parties and CSMs who use Squabble. When Squabbling Parties sign up and use the service, certain information is obtained and maintained in the ordinary course of using the service. This may include a phone number, email address, name, account start and end date, registration IP address, status, rating, payment method, customer service communications, and photo. When CSMs sign up to use Squabble we may have additional information including address, a CSM's employer (if any), insurance information, agreements, certain communications between CSMs and Squabbling Parties, and some GPS location data.

Contacting Squabble

Law Enforcement Portal

To submit a request to the Squabble Law Enforcement Response Team (LERT), law enforcement should create an account and submit the request through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.SQUABBLEAPP.COM. The Portal is a central place for law enforcement to communicate securely with our LERT Specialists when submitting preservation requests or legal process, getting status updates on responses to legal process, receiving responsive information, and asking questions.

Preservation of Records

Upon receipt of a formal written request we will work to preserve records in connection with official criminal investigations for 90 days. Law enforcement may extend a preservation request, once, for an additional 90 days. We do not maintain preserved materials unless we receive an extension request or legal process.

Legal Process Requirements

We will provide responsive records in accordance with our terms, policies, and applicable law. Some general principles are set forth here, but may not apply in every case.

We require a subpoena issued in connection with an official criminal investigation to compel the disclosure of basic information. A search warrant issued under the procedures described in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or equivalent state warrant procedures upon a showing of probable cause is required to compel our disclosure of certain communications between people using Squabble or GPS location information. Exceptions to these requirements may be available for emergency and exigent requests, where a user has provided consent, or - for requests that do not require a warrant - where other legal or regulatory standards apply.

Emergency and Exigent Requests

We have a process for evaluating requests on an emergency or exigent basis where there is an emergency or exigency that involves protecting a Squabbling Party, CSM, or third party who has been physically harmed or stopping illegal activity that poses an immediate threat of physical harm, or in cases of verifiable time-sensitive investigations. Requestors must submit an Emergency Request through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.SQUABBLEAPP.COM. We require a description of the nature of the emergency or urgency, including details about the nature of the alleged actual or threatened physical harm or exigency, and we review these requests on a case-by-case basis. We may provide responsive information when we have a good faith belief that doing so may protect Squabbling Parties, CSMs, others, Squabble, or otherwise assist with an exigent investigation. Once the emergency or exigency has passed, we require law enforcement to follow up with the appropriate legal process and we may require law enforcement to obtain appropriate legal process for any initial or additional disclosure. To facilitate our review, law enforcement should provide as much detail about the incident or emergency as possible.

Form of Request

Authorized law enforcement using an official government domain may create an account and submit legal process to Squabble through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.SQUABBLEAPP.COM. We accept courtesy copies through the Law Enforcement Portal as a convenience, but reserve all rights and objections, such as for lack of jurisdiction or improper service.

Law enforcement should include in their request:

  • Clear grounds for the legal basis for the request;
  • Detailed specifics on the information sought. We will be unable to process overly broad or vague requests that do not identify the information sought with particularity; and
  • The name of the issuing authority, badge/ID number of the responsible agent or officer, an email address from a law-enforcement domain, and a direct contact number for the responsible agent or officer.

Notice of Requests

Squabble's policy is to notify Squabbling Parties and CSMs of law enforcement requests for their information before disclosure, whenever possible, with exceptions for emergencies, exigent requests, when we have a good faith belief that notice would be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or when we are prohibited from doing so by law (i.e., by statutory prohibition or court order). Law enforcement officials seeking non-disclosure of legal requests should provide relevant details concerning their investigation so that we may determine whether the request falls into one of these exceptions. In all other circumstances, law enforcement must obtain a non-disclosure order. If Squabble receives a request for disclosure that is not governed by existing law or an accompanying non-disclosure order, we will give law enforcement the opportunity to seek court-ordered non-disclosure before we provide notice. Please be sure that the non-disclosure order states that notice is prohibited for a specified period of time. Upon receipt of an appropriate court order, we will delay notification unless or until the order expires or is withdrawn. Where available, Squabble will take advantage of the statutory provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3511(b)(1)(A) to have non-disclosure requirements reviewed by a court.

What is Squabble and what records do we have?

Squabble is a technology company that has developed an app that connects users (Squabbling parties) with third party dispute resolution providers. More details about our services are available squabbleapp.com/legal. We store, use, and maintain information as described in our Privacy Statements and our Terms of Use.

Where does Squabble accept service of legal documents?

U.S.

We generally require that all legal documents (including complaints and subpoenas) be served on our registered agent for service of process. The name and current contact information for the registered agent in each state are available online here.

Our registered agent will accept service only if the entity to whom the document is directed matches the name of the entity registered with the Secretary of State (e.g., “Squabble International, Inc.”) and our agent is authorized to accept service on behalf of that entity. Our acceptance of legal process does not waive any legal objections we may have and may raise in response.

Our acceptance of legal process does not waive any legal objections we may have and may raise in response.

What legal process does Squabble require before producing data to private parties?

U.S. Requests

We generally require a valid subpoena issued in accordance with applicable law before we can process private requests for information. We require non-law enforcement subpoenas to be served through our registered agent for service of process. The name and current contact information for the registered agent in each state are available online at the website for the Delaware Secretary of State website.

Our registered agent will accept service only if the entity to whom the request is directed matches the name of the entity registered with the Secretary of State (e.g., “Squabble International, Inc.”), and our agent is authorized to accept service on behalf of that entity. Our acceptance of legal process does not waive any legal objections we may have and may raise in response.

Non-U.S. Requests

Non-U.S. requests should be directed to “Squabble International, Inc.” We generally require a valid request issued in accordance with applicable law before we can process private requests for information. We require requests to be served by registered mail to the following address: 1431 Pacific Hwy H2 San Diego, CA 92101. Our acceptance of legal process does not waive any legal objections we may have and may raise in response to the request.

What form of requests does Squabble require, and how are requests processed?

We review each subpoena or data request for facial and substantive validity, and will reject requests that are not facially and substantively valid. Among other things, we require requests to be narrowly tailored, and will reject overly broad, vague, or unduly burdensome requests. Before making a request, please check to see if the information sought is publicly available.

In order to make sure your request is valid, we ask for the following:

  • A sufficiently narrow/defined time period, and the specific data requested within that time period
  • A specific identifying reference (i.e., you must uniquely identify a user or CSM/partner, ideally by more than just a name)
  • Your contact information (i.e., name and email address and/or phone number)

 

When we determine that we are required by law to disclose data, we will search for and disclose data that we are reasonably able to locate and retrieve.

Note: We will not respond to emergency requests received from non-law enforcement officials. Non-law enforcement officials aware of an emergency situation should immediately and directly contact local law enforcement.

Does Squabble provide a certificate of authentication or expert testimony?

We may provide a certification from our records custodian but are generally not able to provide in-person or expert witness testimony.

In some cases, law enforcement may find that a Squabbling Party or Squabble CSM-partner who has filed a complaint can directly provide the best evidence. We send a dispute receipt by email immediately after each dispute. These receipts have detailed information about the dispute including the date, time, evidence and entrance locations, duration, communications, fee breakdown, method of payment, and the names of the Squabbling parties and CSM. Squabbling parties and CSMs can access dispute receipts and invoices for past disputes using the Squabble or their online account.

Legal Process Requirements

We will provide responsive records in accordance with our terms, policies, and applicable law. Some general principles are set forth here, but may not apply in every case.

Law Enforcement in the Netherlands

 

Typically, we require Dutch authorities with supervisory and investigative powers to provide a warrant, court order or other legally binding order to compel the disclosure of a Dutch person's (personal) data.

Law Enforcement Outside the Netherlands or United States

Law enforcement outside of the Netherlands or the United States may submit a Mutual Legal Assistance Request (MLAT) or Letter Rogatory, as applicable, to Dutch authorities to compel disclosure of data. Alternatively, law enforcement may submit a request directly to Squabble seeking a discretionary disclosure of data. Typically, such requests must, at a minimum:

  • relate to an investigation of a crime that is alleged to have occurred in the state from which the request is made;
  • relate to an alleged criminal act that is an offense under the ordinary criminal laws in the Netherlands as well as the laws of the requesting country;
  • be narrowly tailored to a legitimate law enforcement need; and
  • be made using appropriate legal process for the jurisdiction in which the alleged crime occurred.

 

Squabble reserves the right to decline to exercise its discretion to produce requested information even if each of the above threshold conditions are met and require the submission of an MLAT or Letter Rogatory request. Circumstances under which Squabble will refuse to honor requests include, but are not limited to: if the request is inconsistent with international human rights laws or standards or the rule of law, or is being made to facilitate a prosecution that is political in nature or relates to the target's race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age, or any other characteristic protected under Dutch law.

In all cases, we will provide any responsive records in accordance with our terms, policies, and applicable law.

Emergency and Exigent Requests

We have a process for evaluating requests on an emergency or exigent basis where there is an emergency or exigency that involves protecting a Squabbling Party, CSM-partner, or third party who has been physically harmed, or stopping illegal activity that poses an immediate threat of physical harm, or in cases of verifiable time-sensitive investigations. Requestors must submit an Emergency Request Form (which can be requested through info@squabbleapp.com) that describes in detail the nature of the emergency or urgency, including details about the nature of the alleged actual or threatened physical harm or exigency, and we review these requests on a case-by-case basis. We may provide responsive information when we have a good faith belief that doing so may protect Squabbling parties, CSMs, others, Squabble, or otherwise assist with an exigent investigation. Once the emergency or exigency has passed, we require law enforcement to follow up with the appropriate legal process. Notwithstanding, we may require law enforcement to obtain appropriate legal process for any initial or additional disclosure. To facilitate our review, law enforcement should provide as much detail about the incident or emergency as possible.

Form of Request

Authorized law enforcement using an official government domain may send legal process to info@squabbleapp.com. We accept courtesy copies through info@squabbleapp.com as a convenience but reserve all rights and objections, such as for lack of jurisdiction or improper service. Law enforcement should take into account applicable privacy and data protection requirements, such as proportionality and subsidiarity, and at a minimum include in their request:

  • Clear grounds for the legal basis for the request;
  • Detailed specifics on the information sought and how this particular information may benefit the investigation. We will be unable to process overly broad or vague requests that do not identify the information sought with particularity; and
  • The name of the issuing authority, badge/ID number of the responsible agent or officer, an email address from a law-enforcement domain, and a direct contact number for the responsible agent or officer.

Notice of Requests

We may notify Squabbling parties and CSM-partners of law enforcement requests for their information before disclosure of any personal data.

CSMs provide dispute resolution services to Squabbling parties through a range of offerings based on dispute type and/or the number of Squabbling parties. You can find up-to-date information about Squabble's services in our Help Center and Newsroom.

Business Records

We store and maintain information as described in our Privacy Statements and Terms of Use. This includes information contained in dispute receipts available to Squabbling parties and CSMs who use Squabble. When Squabbling parties sign up and use the service, certain information is obtained and maintained in the ordinary course of using the service. This may include a phone number, email address, name, account start and end date, registration IP address, status, rating, payment method, customer service communications, and photo. When CSMs sign up to use Squabble we may have additional information including, dispute information, address, a CSM's employer (if any), insurance information, agreements, certain communications between CSMs and Squabbling parties, and some GPS location data.

Contacting Squabble

Law Enforcement Portal

To submit a request to the Squabble Law Enforcement Response Team (LERT), law enforcement should create an account and submit the request through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.Squabbleapp.com. The Portal is a central place for law enforcement to communicate securely with our LERT Specialists when submitting preservation requests or legal process, getting status updates on responses to legal process, receiving responsive information, and asking questions.

Preservation of Records

Upon receipt of a formal written request we will work to preserve records in connection with official criminal investigations for 90 days. Law enforcement may extend a preservation request, once, for an additional 90 days. We do not maintain preserved materials unless we receive an extension request or legal process.

Legal Process Requirements

We will provide responsive records in accordance with our terms, policies, and applicable law. Some general principles are set forth here, but may not apply in every case.

We require a subpoena issued in connection with an official criminal investigation to compel the disclosure of basic information. A search warrant issued under the procedures described in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or equivalent state warrant procedures upon a showing of probable cause is required to compel our disclosure of certain communications between people using Squabble or GPS location information. Exceptions to these requirements may be available for emergency and exigent requests, where a user has provided consent, or - for requests that do not require a warrant - where other legal or regulatory standards apply.

Emergency and Exigent Requests

We have a process for evaluating requests on an emergency or exigent basis where there is an emergency or exigency that involves protecting a Squabbling Party, CSM-partner, or third party who has been physically harmed or stopping illegal activity that poses an immediate threat of physical harm, or in cases of verifiable time-sensitive investigations. Requestors must submit an Emergency Request through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.squabbleapp.com. We require a description of the nature of the emergency or urgency, including details about the nature of the alleged actual or threatened physical harm or exigency, and we review these requests on a case-by-case basis. We may provide responsive information when we have a good faith belief that doing so may protect Squabbling parties, CSM-partners, others, Squabble, or otherwise assist with an exigent investigation. Once the emergency or exigency has passed, we require law enforcement to follow up with the appropriate legal process and we may require law enforcement to obtain appropriate legal process for any initial or additional disclosure. To facilitate our review, law enforcement should provide as much detail about the incident or emergency as possible.

Form of Request

Authorized law enforcement using an official government domain may create an account and submit legal process to Squabble through the Law Enforcement Portal at https://lert.squabbleapp.com We accept courtesy copies through the Law Enforcement Portal as a convenience, but reserve all rights and objections, such as for lack of jurisdiction or improper service.

Law enforcement should include in their request:

  • Clear grounds for the legal basis for the request;
  • Detailed specifics on the information sought. We will be unable to process overly broad or vague requests that do not identify the information sought with particularity; and
  • The name of the issuing authority, badge/ID number of the responsible agent or officer, an email address from a law-enforcement domain, and a direct contact number for the responsible agent or officer.

Notice of Requests

Squabble's policy is to notify Squabbling parties and CSM-partners of law enforcement requests for their information before disclosure, whenever possible, with exceptions for emergencies, exigent requests, when we have a good faith belief that notice would be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or when we are prohibited from doing so by law (i.e., by statutory prohibition or court order). Law enforcement officials seeking non-disclosure of legal requests should provide relevant details concerning their investigation so that we may determine whether the request falls into one of these exceptions. In all other circumstances, law enforcement must obtain a non-disclosure order. If Squabble receives a request for disclosure that is not governed by existing law or an accompanying non-disclosure order, we will give law enforcement the opportunity to seek court-ordered non-disclosure before we provide notice. Please be sure that the non-disclosure order states that notice is prohibited for a specified period of time. Upon receipt of an appropriate court order, we will delay notification unless or until the order expires or is withdrawn. Where available, Squabble will take advantage of the statutory provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3511(b)(1)(A) to have non-disclosure requirements reviewed by a court.

Private parties, including civil litigants and criminal defendants, should consult our Guidelines for Third Party Data Requests.

Squabble may share your information other than as described in this policy if we notify you and you consent to the sharing.
