This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions (hereinafter the “General Terms”) and terms and conditions, if any, specific to use of individual Services (hereinafter the “Service Specific Terms”).

You may terminate your use of the Services by providing Laisar notice by email within 30 days of being notified of the availability of the modified Terms if the Terms are modified in a manner that substantially affects your rights in connection with use of the Services. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any change to the Terms will be deemed to be your agreement to the modified Terms.
Personal Information and Privacy
Personal information you provide to Laisar through the Service is governed by Laisar Privacy Policy. Your election to use the Service indicates your acceptance of the terms of the Laisar Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your username, password and other sensitive information. You are responsible for all activities that occur in your user account and you agree to inform us immediately of any unauthorized use of your user account by email to support@laisar.com. We are not responsible for any loss or damage to you or to any third party incurred as a result of any unauthorized access and/or use of your user account, or otherwise.
Communications from Laisar Management Group, LLC.
The Service may include certain communications from Laisar, such as service announcements, administrative messages and newsletters. You understand that these communications shall be considered part of using the Services. As part of our policy to provide you total privacy, we also provide you the option of opting out from receiving newsletters from us. However, you will not be able to opt-out from receiving service announcements and administrative messages.
Complaints
If we receive a complaint from any person against you with respect to your activities as part of use of the Services, we will forward the complaint to the primary email address of your user account. You must respond to the complainant directly within 10 days of receiving the complaint forwarded by us and copy Laisar in the communication. If you do not respond to the complainant within 10 days from the date of our email to you, we may disclose your name and contact information to the complainant for enabling the complainant to take legal action against you. You understand that your failure to respond to the forwarded complaint within the 10 days’ time limit will be construed as your consent to disclosure of your name and contact information by Laisar to the complainant.
Fees and Payments
The Services are available under authorized invitations based on various durations under the Workforce Development and Training Program of the Amtrak Frederick Douglass Tunnel Program. You will not be charged for using any Service on this platform.
Restrictions on Use
In addition to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, you shall not: (i) transfer the Services or otherwise make it available to any third party; (ii) provide any service based on the Services without prior written permission; (iii) use the third party links to sites without agreeing to their website terms & conditions; (iv) post links to third party sites or use their logo, company name, etc. without their prior written permission; (v) publish any personal or confidential information belonging to any person or entity without obtaining consent from such person or entity; (vi) use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or harm any server, network, computer system, resource of Laisar; (vii) violate any applicable local, state, national or international law; and (viii) create a false identity to mislead any person as to the identity or origin of any communication.
Spamming and Illegal Activities
You agree to be solely responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Services. You agree not to use the Services for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, pornographic, obscene, or is otherwise objectionable, offends religious sentiments, promotes racism, contains viruses or malicious code, or that which infringes or may infringe intellectual property or other rights of another. You agree not to use the Services for the transmission of “junk mail”, “spam”, “chain letters”, “phishing” or unsolicited mass distribution of email. We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services if there are reasonable grounds to believe that you have used the Services for any illegal or unauthorized activity.
Inactive User Accounts Policy
We reserve the right to terminate unpaid user accounts that are inactive for a continuous period of 120 days. In the event of such termination, all data associated with such user account will be deleted. We will provide you prior notice of such termination and option to back-up your data. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity. In other words, activity in one of the Services is not sufficient to keep your user account in another Service active. In case of accounts with more than one user, if at least one of the users is active, the account will not be considered inactive.
Data Ownership
We respect your right to ownership of content created or stored by you. You own the content created or stored by you. Unless specifically permitted by you, your use of the Services does not grant Laisar the license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, publish or distribute the content created by you or stored in your user account for Laisar’s commercial, marketing or any similar purpose. But you grant Laisar permission to access, copy, distribute, store, transmit, reformat, publicly display and publicly perform the content of your user account solely as required for the purpose of providing the Services to you.
User Generated Content
You may transmit or publish content created by you using any of the Services or otherwise. However, you shall be solely responsible for such content and the consequences of its transmission or publication. Any content made public will be publicly accessible through the internet and may be crawled and indexed by search engines. You are responsible for ensuring that you do not accidentally make any private content publicly available. Any content that you may receive from other users of the Services, is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use only and you agree not to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license or otherwise exploit such content for any purpose, without the express written consent of the person who owns the rights to such content. In the course of using any of the Services, if you come across any content with copyright notice(s) or any copy protection feature(s), you agree not to remove such copyright notice(s) or disable such copy protection feature(s) as the case may be. By making any copyrighted/copyrightable content available on any of the Services you affirm that you have the consent, authorization or permission, as the case may be from every person who may claim any rights in such content to make such content available in such manner. Further, by making any content available in the manner aforementioned, you expressly agree that Laisar will have the right to block access to or remove such content made available by you if Laisar receives complaints concerning any illegality or infringement of third party rights in such content. By using any of the Services and transmitting or publishing any content using such Service, you expressly consent to determination of questions of illegality or infringement of third party rights in such content by the agent designated by Laisar for this purpose.
For procedure relating to complaints of illegality or infringement of third party rights in content transmitted or published using the Services, you may contact us at support@laisar.com.

Updated on: 10 September 2025.
Effective Date: 18 September 2023.
This Privacy Policy statement is made by Laisar Management Group on behalf of Clark Construction/Stacy and Witbeck Joint Venture and is updated effective as of 1 December 2023.
Clark Construction and Stacy Witbeck (CSW) are committed to assembling a diverse team of trade partners to deliver a significant enhancement for the Northeast Corridor, B&P Tunnel Replacement Program, featuring the new Frederick Douglass Tunnel – Southern Approach. This project website is powered by Laisar’s Privacy Commitment.
We ask for only the least amount of information necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for our workforce development and training program. We let users know the information we have on them and allow them to opt out of specific engagements.
The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information we gather on our users, how we will use it, and how we will not. This policy is unfortunately longer than we would like, but we must unambiguously address all the relevant cases. We will try and keep the language simple and direct as much as possible.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to this Laisar website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of our websites or services that have a separate privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy is divided into three parts:
Part I – Information Laisar collects and controls
This part deals with how Laisar collects and uses information about website visitors, potential customers, users of Laisar’s services, and others who contact Laisar through forms or email addresses published on or linked to our websites.
Part II – Information that Laisar processes on your behalf
This part deals with how Laisar handles data that you entrust to Laisar when you use our services, or when you share any personal or confidential information with us while requesting customer support.
Part III – General
This part deals with topics that are relevant to both Parts I and II, and other general topics such as Laisar’s security commitments and how we will inform you when we change this Privacy Policy.
Part I – Information Laisar collects and controls
What information Laisar collects
We collect information about you only if we need the information for some legitimate purpose. Laisar will have information about you only if (a) you have provided the information yourself, (b) Laisar has automatically collected the information, or (c) Laisar has obtained the information from a third party. Below we describe the various scenarios that fall under each of those three categories and the information collected in each one.
Information that you provide us
i. Account signup : When you sign up for an account to access one or more of our services, we ask for information like your name, contact number, email address, company name and State to complete the account signup process. You’ll also be required to choose a unique username and a password for accessing the created account. You may also provide us with more information such as your photo, and time zone, but we don’t require that information to sign up for an account. After signing up, you will have the option of choosing a security question and an answer to the security question — if you provide these, they will be used only while resetting your password.
ii. Event registrations and other form submissions: We record information that you submit when you (i) register for any event, including webinars or seminars, (ii) subscribe to our newsletter or any other mailing list, (iii) submit a form in order to download any product, Whitepaper, or other materials, (iv) participate in contests or respond to surveys, or (v) submit a form to request user support or to contact Laisar for any other purpose.

Information from browsers, devices and servers : When you visit our website, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices and servers make available, such as the internet protocol address, browser type, language preference, time zone, referring URL, date and time of access, operating system, mobile device manufacturer and mobile network information. We include these in our log files to understand more about visitors to our website.
ii. Information from first party cookies and tracking technologies : We use temporary and permanent cookies to identify users of our services and to enhance user experience. We embed unique identifiers in our downloadable products to track usage of the products. We also use cookies, beacons, tags, scripts, and other similar technologies to identify visitors, track website navigation, gather demographic information about visitors and users, understand email campaign effectiveness and for targeted visitor and user engagement by tracking your activities on our website. We only use first-party cookies and do not use third-party cookies or other third-party tracking technologies on our website. We also use first-party Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences to provide certain features.
iii. Information from application logs and analytics : We collect information about your use of our services and applications from application logs and in-house usage analytics tools, and use it to understand how your use and needs can improve our services. This information includes clicks, scrolls, features accessed, access time and frequency, errors generated, performance data, storage utilized, user settings and configurations, and devices used to access and their locations.
Purposes for using information
In addition to the purposes mentioned above, we may use your information for the following purposes:
Legal bases for collecting and using information
Withdrawal of consent : Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.

Your choice in information use
Opt out of non-essential electronic communications : You may opt out of receiving newsletters and other non-essential messages by using the ‘unsubscribe’ function included in all such messages. However, you will continue to receive notices and essential transactional emails.
Disable cookies : You can disable browser cookies before visiting our website. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use certain features of the website properly.

We will also securely store the information and isolate it from further processing on backup discs until deletion is possible.
Part II – Information that Laisar processes on your behalf
Information entrusted to Laisar and purpose
Information provided in connection with services : You may entrust information that you or your organization (“you”) control, to Laisar in connection with use of our services or for requesting technical support to access our services. This includes information regarding you or your employees or data that you hold and use on behalf of your organization for a specific purpose on the Project, such as a customer to whom you provide services. The data may either be stored on our servers when you use our services, or transferred or shared to us as part of a request for technical support or other services.
(All the information entrusted to Laisar is collectively termed “service data”)
Ownership and control of your service data
We recognize that you own your service data. We provide you complete control of your service data by providing you the ability to (i) access your service data, (ii) share your service data through supported third-party integrations, and (iii) request export or deletion of your service data.
How we use service data

Employees and independent contractors : We may provide access to your service data to our employees and individuals who are independent contractors of Laisar involved in providing the services (collectively our “employees”) so that they can (i) identify, analyze and resolve errors, (ii) manually verify emails reported as spam to improve spam detection, or (iii) manually verify scanned images that you submit to us to verify the accuracy of optical character recognition. We ensure that access by our employees to your service data is restricted to specific individuals, and is logged and audited.

We communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within Laisar.
Collaborators and other users : Some of our services allow you to collaborate with other users or third parties. Initiating collaboration may enable other collaborators to view some or all of your profile information. For example, when you edit a document that you have shared with other persons for collaboration, your name and profile picture will be displayed next to your edits to allow your collaborators to know that you made those edits.
Retention of information
We hold the data in your account as long as you choose to use our Services. Once you terminate your user account, your data will eventually get deleted from active database during the next clean-up that occurs once in 3 months. The data deleted from active database will be deleted from backups.
