DocuRise Viewer Terms of Use

1. Introduction

These Viewer Terms of Use ("Viewer Terms") govern your access to and use of content shared with you through the DocuRise platform ("Service"), operated by RiseCraft, LLC ("DocuRise," "we," "us," or "our"). DocuRise is a document sharing and analytics platform that enables its registered users ("Owners") to share content with recipients like you ("Viewers," "you," or "your").

By accessing any content through the Service — including by clicking "Continue," submitting your information, or viewing a document — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Viewer Terms and our Privacy Policy.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE VIEWER TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR VIEW THE CONTENT.

2. Your Relationship with DocuRise and the Owner

2.1 How It Works

An Owner has used the DocuRise platform to share content with you via a unique link. The Owner controls the content, access settings, and how your information is used for their own purposes. DocuRise provides the technology infrastructure that facilitates this sharing.

2.2 Owner Responsibility

You understand and agree that:

• The Owner is solely responsible for (a) the content shared with you; (b) obtaining any necessary rights, permissions, or consents from you for their use of your data beyond what is described in these Viewer Terms; (c) informing you of their own privacy practices and policies; and (d) complying with all applicable laws regarding their communications with you.
• DocuRise processes your data on the Owner's behalf as a service provider. DocuRise is not responsible for the Owner's content, their privacy practices, or their communications with you.
• If you have questions about how the Owner uses your information or wish to exercise data rights related to information the Owner collected, please contact the Owner directly.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide

When you access content through the Service, you may be required to provide certain information before viewing. Required and optional items are clearly labeled on the access form.

Required items (necessary to access the content):

• Email address

Optional items (you may decline without any disadvantage to viewing):

• Name
• Phone number
• Organization or company name
• Marketing consent (see Section 5)

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you view content through the Service, DocuRise automatically collects certain usage and engagement data on the Owner's behalf, including:

• Engagement Analytics: Which pages you viewed, time spent on each page, scroll depth, total viewing duration, and completion rate
• Device & Browser Information: Browser type, operating system, device type, and screen resolution
• Network Information: IP address and approximate geographic location (city/region level)
• Access Information: Date and time of access, referring URL, and number of visits

3.3 Purpose of Collection

This information is collected to:

• Provide the Owner with document engagement analytics
• Deliver and secure the content to you
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
• Improve and maintain the Service

3.4 Retention

Information collected through the access form and engagement tracking is retained for three (3) years from the date of collection, or until you withdraw consent (for items collected with your optional consent), whichever is earlier. You may request deletion at any time by contacting the Owner or DocuRise.

4. How Your Information Is Shared

4.1 With the Owner

All information described in Section 3 is shared with the Owner who shared the content with you. The Owner may use this information in accordance with their own privacy practices.

4.2 With Service Providers

DocuRise uses third-party service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery providers) to operate the Service. These providers process your data only as necessary to provide the Service and are contractually bound to protect your information.

4.3 As Required by Law

We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

5. Marketing Communications Consent

5.1 Optional Marketing Consent

Where the Owner has enabled marketing communications, you will be presented with a separate, clearly labeled consent option on the access form. This consent is:

• Voluntary: You are not required to consent in order to view the content.
• Specific: The consent identifies the Owner by name and describes the type of communications you may receive.
• Revocable: You may withdraw your consent at any time.

5.2 What You Are Consenting To

If you provide marketing consent, you agree that the Owner identified on the access form (and parties acting on the Owner's behalf) may contact you at the email address and/or phone number you provided for the purpose of sending marketing communications related to the Owner's products, services, or content.

5.3 How to Withdraw Consent

You may revoke your marketing consent at any time by:

• Contacting the Owner directly
• Contacting DocuRise at legal@risecraft.io, and we will forward your request to the Owner
• Using any unsubscribe mechanism provided in the Owner's communications

5.4 Transactional Communications

Separately from marketing consent, by providing your email address to access content, you may receive transactional communications related to the content you viewed (e.g., access confirmations, document updates, or expiration notices). These are not marketing communications and do not require separate consent.

5.5 DocuRise Communications

DocuRise will not send you marketing communications unless you separately create a DocuRise account and opt in.

6. Content Restrictions

6.1 Intellectual Property

All content you view through the Service is owned by or licensed to the Owner. You may not:

• Use any automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access or collect content from the Service
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security or access control features of the Service

6.2 Permitted Use

You may view the content for your own personal or internal business purposes in connection with the purpose for which the Owner shared it with you, unless the Owner specifies otherwise.

DOCURISE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THESE VIEWER TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
