    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="who-we-are">Who we are</h2>

    <p>Notify.gov is a service that lets public service teams in the United States send text messages
      to users of their service.</p>

    <p>Notify.gov is provided by the TTS Public Benefits Studio, which is part of the General Services Administration (GSA).</p>

    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="what-data-we-collect-from-you">What data we collect from you</h2>

    <p>The personal data we collect from public sector employees that create a Notify.gov account includes:</p>

    <ul class="list list-bullet">
        <li>your name</li>
        <li>your email address</li>
        <li>your mobile phone number</li>
    </ul>

    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="why-we-need-your-data">Why we need your data</h2>

    <p>We need your personal data to ensure that only legitimate users of Notify.gov can use it to send notifications.</p>

    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="what-we-do-with-your-data">What we do with your data</h2>

    <p>We use your data to check that you are allowed to access Notify.gov and to record your activity when using it. We use third party suppliers to do this.</p>

    <p>We will not:</p>

    <ul class="list list-bullet">
        <li>sell or rent your data to third parties</li>
        <li>share your data with third parties for marketing purposes</li>
    </ul>

    <p>We will share your data if we are required to do so by law – for example, by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime.</p>

    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="how-long-we-keep-your-data">How long we keep your data</h2>

    <p>We will retain your personal data for as long as you have a Notify.gov account.</p>

    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="where-your-data-is-processed">Where your data is processed and stored</h2>

    <p>We design, build and run our systems to make sure that your data is as safe as possible at any stage, both while it’s
      processed and when it’s stored.</p>

    <!-- <p>Your personal data will be processed both in the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). Your data receives the same level of protection in the EEA as it does in the UK through the safeguard of <a class="usa-link" href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organizations/dp-at-the-end-of-the-transition-period/data-protection-and-the-eu-in-detail/adequacy/">Adequacy Decisions</a>.</p> -->
   
    <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="how-we-protect-your-data">How we protect your data and keep it secure</h2>

    <p>We are committed to doing all that we can to keep your data secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure we have put in place technical and organizational procedures to secure the data we collect about you – for example, we protect your
    data using varying levels of encryption. We also make sure that any third parties that we deal with have an obligation to
    keep all personal data they process on our behalf secure.</p>

    <!-- <h2 class="font-body-lg" id="childrens-privacy-protection">Children’s privacy protection</h2>

    <p>We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy online. Our services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years of age or younger. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under the age of 13.</p>
