PRIVACY POLICY

Effective as of January 14, 2020, Security Compass and its affiliates (collectively, the “Security Compass Group” or “we” or “us” or “our”) have updated our Privacy Policy.

Your privacy is important to us. It is Security Compass’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you through our website, https://www.securitycompass.com, through other sites we own and operate, and through the products and services we provide.

This policy (together with our terms of service and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal information we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed.

Compliance with Privacy Laws

At Security Compass, the security of your data isn’t an afterthought. We have prioritized the security of customer data long before it was legally required. Our approach has been anchored with a strong commitment to privacy, security, compliance and transparency. This approach includes supporting our customers’ compliance with various regulatory frameworks, including EU data protection requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became enforceable on May 25, 2018, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) which came into effect January 01, 2020.

Where a company collects, transmits, hosts or analyzes personal information of EU data subjects, GDPR requires the company to process such data only in a way which guarantees the technical and organizational safeguards mandated by the GDPR.

Understanding the Key Concepts

What is ‘Personal Information’?

‘Personal Information’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The personal information we collect is explicitly stated below.

What is ‘Processing’ of personal information?

This can include a large number of actions. In simplified terms, processing your personal information means any use we make of it, whether we collect it in a database, store it somewhere or send it to someone else. You can see how we process your data below under ‘What we use your information for’.

What information do we collect?

We may collect and process the following data about you:

(i) Personal information

We may ask for personal information, such as your:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Social media profiles
  • Date of birth
  • Phone/mobile number
  • Home/mailing address
  • Work address

This data is considered “identifying information”, as it can be used to personally identify you. We only request personal information relevant to providing you with a service, and only use it to help provide or improve this service. If you consent to receiving communications about our products and services, we may use your personal information to send you product and industry related news and updates. We only send out communications where we are legally allowed to do so.

(ii) Log data

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. This data is considered “non-identifying information”, as it does not personally identify you on its own. It may however include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other non-identifying details.

We may also collect data about the device you are using to access our website. This data may include the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, device settings, and geo-location data. What we collect can depend on the individual settings of your device and software. We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.

How we collect the information.

We collect information by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We only process your data when we have a lawful reason for doing so. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used. You are free to refuse our request for this information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services without it.

What we use the information for.

We may use a combination of identifying and non-identifying information to understand who our visitors are, how they use our services, and how we may improve their experience of our website in future. We do not disclose the specifics of this information publicly but may share aggregated and anonymized versions of this information, for example, in website and customer usage trend reports.

We may use your personal details to contact you with updates about our website and services, along with promotional content that we believe may be of interest to you. We may contact you via phone, email, social media, or conventional mail. If you wish to opt out of receiving promotional content, you can follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided alongside any promotional correspondence from us.

Where we store the information.

The personal information we collect is stored and processed in, or where we or our partners, affiliates and third-party providers maintain facilities. We only transfer data within jurisdictions subject to data protection laws that reflect our commitment to protecting the privacy of our users.

We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our services in future. In most cases, we delete personal information after a period of 2 years if we have not received any communication, opt-in notification, or other form of consent from the contact. While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute data security.

If you request your personal information be deleted, or where your personal information becomes no longer relevant to our operations, we will erase it from our system within a reasonable timeframe.
