Compliance and Organizations We Support

Since taking flight in 1996, Firefly has been a different kind of civil process service company. We’re a partner, not just a vendor.

We strive to be the leading light in the civil process service industry, and in order to do that, it’s imperative that we’re informed and up-to-date. We do that by participating in a number of industry organizations to stay on top of regulation changes and other updates. We also find that maintaining compliance is status quo. Striving to be ahead of the pack is the Firefly way.

Compliance is Critical

As the industries we serve change, and a stronger focus on compliance is overtly apparent, we knew that it was necessary to fly up to the challenge. We recognize that compliance is becoming more important, and what’s important to you is important to us. You can’t afford for your civil process server to jeopardize your files. We initiated a self-audit in 2012 and obtained our SOC 1 Type 1 certification in January 2013. There aren’t that many civil process servers who have accomplished this.

Sleep soundly knowing that the files in our possession are treated with top security and confidentiality.

Our Compliance & Risk Team

Firefly has established a compliance, process and risk team. The objective of the committee is to review on an ongoing basis Firefly practices to ensure adherence to and compliance with legal, ethical and client requirements. Additionally the committee seeks to identify operational, security or other risks and to identify ways to alleviate said risks.

Organizations We Support

Staying involved in organizations within our industry is something we consider a necessity.

Firefly wants you to understand its practices with regard to collecting and using your information both online and offline and the steps it takes to safeguard your privacy. This statement applies to Personally Identifiable Information collected from Firefly customers. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “Personally Identifiable Information” it refers to information that lets Firefly know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information might include your name, mailing address, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address, and other identification and contact information.

In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
