This Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Beacon collects, uses, and discloses information with respect to your use of the website located at https://beacon.us/ (the “Beacon Website”).


Before you use or submit any information in connection with the Beacon Website, carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using the Beacon Website, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined below. The terms “you” or “user” refer to all individuals and entities accessing the Beacon Website for any reason. The terms “us” or “we” refer to Beacon. If you do not accept all the terms of the Policy, you are not to use the Beacon Website. This Policy may change, so please refer back to it periodically.


In addition to the terms of this Policy, your use of any website external to the Beacon Website, including but not limited to any external website linked to the Beacon Website such as google.com, is subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy applicable to any users of that external website.  By using that external website, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined in that external website’s terms of use and privacy policy.


Information Presented on the Beacon Website.  

The information provided on the Beacon Website is presented for general informational purposes only. This information does not constitute legal guidance or advice, does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship, is not intended as a solicitation, and is not a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney.


Information We Collect 

The information we collect from you and about you depends on how you use the Beacon Website and the information you provide to Beacon. We collect information in three main ways: (1) information you choose to provide to us; and (2) information we collect automatically through technology when you use the Beacon Website.

  1. Information You Provide To Us We collect information about our users when users choose to provide that information to us. For example, we may collect information when you submit a request for services or otherwise communicate with us. The kinds of information we may collect include your first and last name, organization, email address, zip code, phone number, as well as any other information you provide to us in connection with your use of the Beacon Website (“Personal Information”). Sometimes you may provide the Personal Information through a trusted third party on our behalf instead of directly to us. In such circumstances, the third party’s privacy policy and terms apply as to how it collects and processes the Personal Information you provide. You may generally browse the Website without providing any Personal Information.

  2. Non-Identifiable Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected When you visit the Beacon Website, we may automatically receive and record information from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to understand how people are navigating and using the Beacon Website, how we can improve your experience, and how to enhance the security of the Beacon Website. The types of information we may collect include, by way of example only, your IP address, browser type, browser language, operating system, state or country from which you accessed the Beacon Website, software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, files you download, pages viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Beacon Website, error logs and other similar information. From your IP address, we may be able to infer your general location (e.g., city and state or postal code).

How We Use Your Information

We use Personal Information collected about you to provide you with information and refer you to service-providers; provide user support; communicate with you and respond to your inquiries; improve the content and features of the Website; and advance Beacon’s mission. With your consent, we may share your Personal Information with our agents, affiliated entities, and partners for the purposes of completing tasks and facilitating services to you on our behalf. 

We use Non-Identifiable Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected for internal purposes, for example, to manage and improve the Beacon Website, analyze usage patterns, customize and improve the user experience, and diagnose technical problems.


When We Disclose Your Information

We do not provide Personal Information we receive from you to unaffiliated third parties, except to those who provide services to applicants and to contractors that assist us in maintaining our website and computer systems, or collect and process applications. 

We do not sell or rent your Personal Information. 

If law enforcement or judicial authorities require us to provide them with your Personal Information, we will only provide information to the extent legally necessary.


How We Protect Your Information

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information because, despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

How Long We Hold Data. 

We keep your Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. These periods vary depending on the nature of the information and your interactions with us. As a matter of policy, Beacon seeks to minimize the data it collects and holds from you.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

The laws in some jurisdictions require that website operators tell you about the legal grounds they rely on to use or disclose your information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds for processing your information are as follows:

  • Where use of your information is necessary to perform our obligations to you;

  • Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to provide security for the Beacon Website; to provide the services we provide through the Beacon Website; to defend our legal rights; to analyze the use of the Beacon Website; to improve our services);

  • Where we have a reason to process the information in accordance with applicable law;

  • Where we have your consent to engage in a particular type of processing activity.



Online Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) in connection with the Beacon Website to collect and analyze the information discussed above, and to engage in auditing, research, or reporting. The information (including your IP address) collected by various analytics technologies described in the “Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected” section will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Beacon Website, including by noting the third party website from which you arrive, analyzing usage trends, assisting with fraud prevention, and providing certain features to you.


Non-U.S. Visitors

The Beacon Website is not intended for individuals located outside of the U.S. If you are a non-U.S. resident, you acknowledge that our collection and processing of personal information is subject to United States law, and that any personal information you provide to us shall be processed in the United States, where the laws and regulations may not provide the same level of data protection rights as in the jurisdiction in which you are located.


Children’s Privacy

If you are under the age of 16, please do not use the Beacon Website. The Beacon Website is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children. If we become aware that we have collected information without legally valid parental consent from children under an age where such consent is required under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.


Third-Party Links and Beacon Website

The Beacon Website may contain links to third-party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. The collection, use and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites, not this Policy. Therefore, we encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Beacon Website and to read the privacy policies of every site they visit that collects their information.


Revisions to Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

We will continue to review the Policy and we may make changes to the Policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page indicates the last time changes were made. You should check this page periodically for updates. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will provide you with notice as required by law. Your continued use of the Website will signify that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of the updated Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
