Privacy Notice

Barr Group (also “we” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains how we use (“Process”) your personal information (including personal information that you provide to us about other persons) (together, “Personal Data”). It also explains your privacy rights and how you can exercise them.

Broadly, we are committed to the following privacy principles:

We will only collect, keep, use, and share Personal Data for the legitimate business purposes that we explain here below, or if we're legally required to do so.
We will be as clear and open as we can with you about what Personal Data we collect and how we will Process it.
For as long as we maintain records of your Personal Data, we will protect it with appropriate safety measures.

The type of Personal Data we collect and how we Process it will vary depending on the relationship we have with you (e.g., whether you are an attorney or law firm client, an expert witness subcontractor or candidate, or a visitor to our website) and the context. The following relationship-specific sections of this Notice provide further details.

Integrated Embedded, LLC d/b/a Barr Group is the Data Controller with respect to any Personal Data that we collect from or about you. We are a limited liability company registered in the United States. If you have a question about your Personal Data or about this Privacy Notice, please contact us.

Attorneys and Law Firm Clients

Collection

If you contact us seeking an expert witness, or engage us, we may collect: your name, firm, title, email address, phone number, and postal address; the details of your inquiry, including information about the matter for which you seek an expert; and the billing information needed to invoice for engaged experts. Our legal basis for the collection and processing of this data is the performance of our services and the steps taken at your request before entering an engagement.

Processing

We may use your Personal Data as follows:

To identify and recommend suitable expert witnesses for your matter.
To administer engagements, including invoicing and payment follow-up.
To contact you with communications you have requested or agreed to receive from us.

Sharing

We treat your inquiries and expert searches as confidential. We do not disclose the details of your matter, even details available in public records, to any expert who has not entered into a subcontract with us. At most, we may identify to a candidate expert the name of a company that is a party to the matter, and if you tell us that your search is confidential, we will not disclose even that. Experts who have entered into a subcontract with us are bound by its confidentiality obligations.

Barr Group will not sell your Personal Data. We will not share your Personal Data with any third party except as stated in this Notice or as required to operate our business and provide our services to you, or otherwise as required or permitted by law.

We may supplement this with information from public professional sources, such as court records, professional directories, and your published work. Our legal basis for the collection and processing of this data is the performance of our services and our legitimate interest in maintaining a network of qualified experts.

Processing

We may use your Personal Data as follows:

To evaluate your qualifications and match you to litigation matters.
To present your credentials to prospective clients, subject to the conditions described under Sharing below.
To publish capability profiles on our website that do not name or directly identify you.
To administer engagements, including invoicing on your behalf and paying you.

Sharing

We will not share your name or your curriculum vitae with any attorney or law firm unless all of the following are true: (a) you have entered into a subcontract with us; (b) you are not conflicted in the matter; and (c) you have agreed to be submitted for the specific matter. We may describe your qualifications to prospective clients in a form that does not name or directly identify you.

Referrals of Other Inquiries

Our business is expert witness services. If you contact us about services we do not provide, such as engineering training or consulting, we may refer you to a recommended alternative supplier. We make these referrals as an open introduction, by email with you and the supplier together, so that you can see what has been shared and choose whether to proceed. What we share is limited to your contact details and the substance of your inquiry.

Social Media

We maintain a company presence on professional networks such as LinkedIn. If you follow or interact with us there, the network makes certain profile information visible to us under its own privacy policy.
