Privacy Policy

Last updated May 20, 2025.

Overview

Service First Permits is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important that you understand how we treat the information you may provide to us. This privacy statement applies to information collected by the websites we manage and control.

In the normal course of business, we will collect both personal information about you and non-personal information associated with you. We will always endeavor to protect this information, hold it in confidence, and protect it from theft. In general, we utilize both non-personal and personally identifiable information that you provide to us or that we collect in the normal course of business to communicate with you about our service and product offerings and deliver those offerings in an efficient manner. For these purposes, Service First Permits employees, authorized contractors, and third-party agents will have access to some or all of this non-personal and personally identifiable information.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, the information you provide or that is associated with you is never shared with anyone other than Service First Permits employees, authorized contractors, and agents. Service First Permits never trades or sells its customers’ information except as provided in this policy.

How We Gather Information

Service First Permits and its affiliates gather and store information in many ways, including but not limited to the following:

Your Account: To save you time and make our web services even easier to use, you may create an account using your personal information. The Service First Permits account system saves your information and references it to your email address and password. The next time you visit the Service First Permits website, you can simply enter your email address and password. We may use the mailing address to send you conference brochures and other items of interest.

Normal course of business: When you contact Service First Permits, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.

Marketing and communications channels: Service First Permits may use LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media outlets to market and promote its offerings and services. Any communications you make with Service First Permits using these media may be used by Service First Permits in accordance with this policy.

Vendors, Suppliers, or Other Access to Your Information

We may provide access to your personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Legal Access to Your Information

We may share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Service First Permits if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.

Enforce applicable Terms of Service, Terms of Use, or other potential violations of Service First Permits contracts or rules, including investigation of potential violations.

Detect, prevent, investigate, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Service First Permits, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

Website Activity

Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information, including phone number). Service First Permits may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your Account.

We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, and track how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies. A cookie is a small file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. Service First Permits typically uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time and can be used when you return to our site to help identify you or allow you to log in or on other third-party sites to communicate with you via online marketing channels. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet browser’s help file.

If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site will be limited, and you may need to re-enter personal information when you register for events.

Marketing & Advertising, Including on Other Websites

We engage third-party companies, including but not limited to Google, to place and track advertisements on third-party websites. Like most advertisers, we place advertisements where we think they will be most relevant to customers. We place advertisements by developing and using our own marketing segments that may combine online and offline information about our current and prospective customers. In addition, we may use marketing segments provided by online publishers and network advertising companies.

Network advertising companies that provide these services have their own privacy policies and are not subject to our online privacy statement. Many of these companies provide ways to avoid targeted advertising provided by or through them. We may base these campaigns on non-personal information collected about you or on personally identifiable information.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

Service First Permits safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, administrative, and managerial procedures. Likewise, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet.

Service First Permits may employ independent contractors to help manage data services, and such contractors may have access to data similar to the access we give our employees. For example, we may choose to use a third-party application service to manage our customer relationship management activities, and Service First Permits may store sales account data, including personally identifiable information, with such a service provider. We endeavor to ensure that these third-party providers are protecting your information, but we are not ultimately responsible for their practices.

Access and Use of Your Personal Information

You may choose to unsubscribe from our marketing communications by following the instructions or unsubscribe mechanism in the message you receive.

If at any time after registering for information, your personal data changes, you change your mind about receiving information from us, wish to cancel your account, or request that Service First Permits no longer use your information to provide you services, contact us at in**@*******ts.com to have the information changed or removed, subject to our need to comply with our legal obligations or contractual agreements.

Newsletters and Promotional Emails

If you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and promotional communications from Service First Permits, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by accessing your preferences by logging into your account.

Links To Other Sites

The Service First Permits website contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Service First Permits. Please be aware that Service First Permits is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Information Obtained from Third Parties

Service First Permits does not sell or trade your personal information. We may, at times, receive contact lists from other organizations. We may send mailings such as brochures to these addresses. Typically, these are one-time mailings, and the data is not entered into our database. If you want to remove yourself from the third party’s database, you must contact them directly.

Children

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18, nor do we knowingly distribute such information to third parties. If we become aware that we received personal information from someone under the age of 18, we will take steps to delete such information from our records. If you believe we have personal information from someone under 18, please contact us at in**@*******ts.com

Changes To This Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
