1. Data We Collect & Why We Collect It

We only collect data that serves the “Bliss” of your workflow. This includes:

• Firm & User Information: When you register for a Bowline account or book a demo, we collect your name, firm details, and contact information.

• Operational Metadata: To ensure spam detection and platform security, we monitor IP addresses and browser user agent strings.

• Engagement Data: If you leave a comment or inquiry, we store the form data to provide a seamless follow-up experience.

2. Specialized Third-Party Integrations

Bowline is an integrated ecosystem. When you use our platform, data may interact with:

• Zoho Ecosystem: Our core infrastructure utilizes Zoho’s bank-grade secure servers.

• Embedded Content: Articles or tours may include content (videos/images) from third parties like YouTube or Vimeo. Interacting with this content is the same as visiting the provider’s site directly—they may collect data and use cookies according to their own privacy protocols.

3. Cookies & Session Management

We use cookies to eliminate “Administrative Drag” during your session:

• Authentication: Login cookies persist for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected) to keep your workflow uninterrupted.

• Preferences: Screen options and dashboard configurations are saved for one year.

• Temporary Sessions: We use non-personal temporary cookies to verify browser compatibility, which are discarded the moment you close your window.

4. Data Retention & Your Sovereignty

We believe you should own your data.

• User Profiles: For registered firm users, we store personal information indefinitely to maintain your account history. You have the right to view, edit, or delete this information at any time (username changes excepted).

• Comment Data: Metadata for inquiries or comments is retained to recognize and approve follow-up interactions automatically.

• Your Rights: You may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you or request the erasure of your data. This does not include data we are legally mandated to retain for administrative, security, or regulatory purposes.

5. Where Your Data is Sent

To protect our ecosystem, visitor interactions may be screened through automated spam detection services. All sensitive firm data is processed through encrypted channels and stored on secure servers designed for high-stakes legal environments.
