Security
Gulf Coast Business Solutions takes precautions to protect your information. When you
submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and
offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. credit card information), that
information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking
for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the
webpage.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect
your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized
access, disclosure or modification of the user’s personal information under our control.
The Company also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private
communications to build users’ trust and confidence in the internet and website use by
providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personal
information.

If you answered “yes” to the question Does your website comply with the General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”)? then the Privacy Policy above includes language that is meant to account for such compliance.

such as: (i) doing an assessment of data processing activities to improve security; (ii) have a data processing
agreement with any third party vendors; (iii) appoint a data protection officer for the company to monitor GDPR
compliance; (iv) designate a representative based in the EU under certain circumstances; and (v) have a protocol

COPPA Compliance Disclosure:
This Privacy Policy presumes that your website is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not
knowingly collect personal identifiable information from them or allow others to do the same through your site.
If this is not true for your website or online service and you do collect such information (or allow others to do so),
please be aware that you must be compliant with all COPPA regulations and guidelines in order to avoid
violations which could lead to law enforcement actions, including civil penalties.
In order to be fully compliant with COPPA your website or online service must fulfill other requirements such as:
(i) posting a privacy policy which describes not only your practices, but also the practices of any others collecting
personal information on your site or service — for example, plug-ins or ad networks; (ii) include a prominent link
to your privacy policy anywhere you collect personal information from children; (iii) include a description of
parental rights (e.g. that you won’t require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary, that
they can review their child’s personal information, direct you to delete it, and refuse to allow any further
collection or use of the child’s information, and the procedures to exercise their rights); (iv) give parents “direct
notice” of your information practices before collecting information from their children; and (v) obtain the parents’
“verifiable consent” before collecting, using or disclosing personal information from a child. For more
information on the definition of these terms and how to make sure your website or online service is fully
compliant with COPPA please visit https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/childrens-onlineprivacy-protection-rule-six-step-compliance. FormSwift and its subsidiaries are in no way responsible for
determining whether or not your company is in fact compliant with COPPA and takes no responsibility for the
use you make of this Privacy Policy or for any potential liability your company may face in relation to any
COPPA compliance issues.

laws enacted by the California legislature which is meant to protect Californians’ personal data from being sold or

annual revenue of at least $25 million dollars; or (ii) buys, receives, or sells personal information of 50,000 or
more Californian consumers, households or devices; or (iii) derives 50% or more of its revenue from the sale of
