Introduction

Leidos Digital Solutions, Inc. (“DSI,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, Inc., recognizes the importance of protecting your Personal Information. This Privacy Statement (“Statement”) provides you with information about how DSI collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information when you visit the Intranet Quorum (“IQ”) website, and the rights you may have with respect to your Personal Information. 

Scope

We commit to collecting and processing your Personal Information responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection/privacy laws. This Statement applies to our processing of Personal Information collected through intranetquorum.com (the "site).

DSI provides products and services to federal, state, and local elected officials and government offices (collectively “Customers”). Accordingly, while we may collect and process Personal Information and other data on behalf of our Customers (collectively, “Customer Data”), our normal business practice is to do so only at the request or direction of our customers and solely for the purpose(s) agreed to in the applicable customer contract.  We collect and process such Customer Data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and customer contract obligations.

If you are a resident of California, you have additional rights, which are explained in the Additional Rights under Local Laws  section. These rights may apply regardless of whether we collect your Personal Information through our Site or through other means. 

If there is a conflict between this Statement and the terms of any written agreement between a DSI customer and DSI, the terms of such written agreement will control.

What Types of Personal Information Are Collected via the Site?

For the purposes of this Statement, “Personal Information” generally means data, or a combination of data from one or more sources, that identifies or could reasonably be used to identify an individual.

When you visit the Site, the Personal Information collected about you may include, but is not limited to:

  • name;
  • e-mail address;
  • organization name and job title;
  • telephone number;
  • IP address;
  • network and geo-location;
  • the searches you perform and actions you take on our Site; and
  • any information you provide to us through web forms or other communication tools available to you while visiting or using our Site.

If you choose not to provide us with this Personal Information when prompted, we may be unable to provide you with the information or services you have requested.

Why is this Personal Information Collected?

We generally collect the Personal Information described above on an entirely voluntary basis – in other words, we do not require you to give us your Personal Information. Certain areas of the Site, however, may request your Personal Information so that you can use specific features, learn more about IQ or access certain content. For example, we may ask you to submit Personal Information if you:

  • watch video content on our Site;  
  • submit a contact form to request customer or technical support; 
  • ask to have an IQ employee contact you; or
  • request that we send materials to you.

  • our use of your Personal Information is necessary to meet our legitimate interests as a commercial organization (see Examples of DSI's Legitimate Interests);
  • our use of your Personal Information is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you, for example if you work for one of our service providers, customers, or partners; and/or

  • responding to comments and questions directed to us;
  • providing customer service or technical support;
  • sending information such as confirmations, invoices, technical notices, software updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;

  • protecting against, investigating, and deterring fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity; and
  • protecting IQ’s personnel or property.

We may also use what we know about you to highlight products and services that may be of interest to you, or we may combine your Personal Information and other information about you with information collected from other sources or information we already have.

Sharing Personal Information

We process and share your Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Statement. When we disclose Personal Information to other entities or individuals to perform support services for us, we authorize such entities and individuals to use your Personal Information only for the limited purposes of performing those support services.

Authorized Service Providers. We sometimes hire or contract with other companies and individuals to perform certain functions and services on our behalf. This is a common industry practice. We may need to disclose Personal Information so that they can perform these functions and services, which may include, for example, customer service support, sending or processing postal mail or email, and analyzing or hosting data on cloud-based servers.
