We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of SecurityAdvisor if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, as well as to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Security Advisor, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.
Sharing with Data Processors
We will also share your personal information with companies that help us to run our business by processing personal information on behalf of SecurityAdvisor for the purposes identified above. Such companies include providers of customer support services, payment processing services, fraud monitoring and prevention, email, social media, and other marketing platforms and service providers, and hosting services.
Other Information Sharing
SecurityAdvisor may also share your personal information:
We may share or publish aggregate information that doesn’t specifically identify you, such as statistical information about visitors to our websites or statistical information about how customers use our product.
The security of your personal information is important to us. We use a variety of industry standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information. These security measures consist of but are not limited to data encryption and physical security.
However, despite our efforts, no security controls are 100% effective and SecurityAdvisor cannot ensure or warrant the security of your personal information. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at [email protected]
Your personal information and files are stored on Security Advisor’s servers and the servers of companies we hire to provide services to us.
We may transfer your personal information across national borders to other countries in compliance with applicable laws.
In some countries, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal information; and to obtain the personal information you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this information to another controller.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the information to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the information for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (such as fraud prevention purposes).
To exercise any of these rights (including deleting your personal data and “asking to be forgotten”), you can get in touch with us – or our data protection officer at [email protected]
If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to report them to an EU or other data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a potential violation may have occurred.
To register with Security Advisor, to create a SecurityAdvisor ID, and to use some SecurityAdvisor websites, apps, products or services, the provision of some information is mandatory: if relevant information is not provided, then we will not be able to administer an SecurityAdvisor account to you, or provide you with the websites, apps, products or services requested. All other provision of your information is optional. Providing optional information will help us offer you a better experience, such as more personalized or tailored content or offerings.
SecurityAdvisor and companies, we hire to help us market our websites and apps on our behalf may use your information to provide you with information and offers related to Security Advisor.
Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your information for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests. You have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing, at any time by:
When you register at Security Advisor, we process and keep most personal information we have about you for as long as you are an active user of our products, services or apps. When your company closes your account, after 60 days we begin deleting certain personal information that we no longer have a business reason to retain. However, we typically retain personal information related to our contract and business transactions with you for seven years after your last interaction with us.
Where we process personal information for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the information until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a permanent record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your information so that we can respect your request in future.
Occasionally, we may change this privacy policy (or other documents in the SecurityAdvisor Privacy Center) to allow SecurityAdvisor to use or share your personal information in a different way. If we do, the links to the policy on our websites (which are generally found in the footer of the website) will indicate that the policy has been changed.
