Last updated: March 8, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of controlwitness.com and any public website content, forms, and communications made available by Control Witness ("Control Witness," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
1. Website Purpose
The website is intended to provide general information about Control Witness and its managed operational support services for California data brokers. The website is not a consumer portal, not legal advice, and not a substitute for a signed client agreement.
2. No Legal Advice; No Professional Relationship by Website Use Alone
Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. Control Witness is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice through this website.
Using the website, sending us a message, requesting a scoping call, or receiving a proposal does not by itself create a client relationship, fiduciary duty, or other professional engagement. Any service relationship must be set out in a separate written agreement signed by the parties.
3. Eligibility and Acceptable Use
You may use the website only in compliance with applicable law and only for legitimate business purposes.
You may not:

- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, server, accounts, or related systems;
- interfere with the security or operation of the website;
- use automated means to scrape or harvest website content at scale without our written permission;
- submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information; or
- use the website for any unlawful, infringing, abusive, or harmful purpose.
4. Website Content and Intellectual Property
The website, including its text, layout, branding, graphics, logos, and other content, is owned by or licensed to Control Witness and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the website for your internal business evaluation of our services.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit website content except as permitted by law or with our written permission.
5. Inquiry Forms and Communications
If you submit information through the website or contact us by email or phone, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to provide it.
You should not submit regulated client data, DROP files, transaction IDs, or other sensitive information through the public website unless we expressly request it through an approved channel.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may link to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.
7. Service Scope
Any description of services on the website is illustrative and high-level. Actual service scope, responsibilities, deliverables, fees, assumptions, security requirements, and legal terms are governed only by the applicable signed order form, statement of work, master services agreement, or similar written contract.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE WEBSITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
We do not warrant that the website content is complete, current, or free from errors.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CONTROL WITNESS AND ITS AFFILIATES, PERSONNEL, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CONTROL WITNESS'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability to the extent such limitation is prohibited by law.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Control Witness and its affiliates, personnel, and representatives from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or related to:
- your misuse of the website;

- your violation of applicable law or the rights of any third party.
11. Privacy
Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
12. Changes to the Website or Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the website or any portion of it at any time without notice.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
14. Venue
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the website will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
15. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Control Witness regarding the website and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings relating to the website.
