2. Introduction

Welcome to the website of ThreatConnect, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ThreatConnect,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”), where we provide our users (collectively, “You,” “Your” or “User”) with access to our Products, to our support services and to other resources relating to cyber security (collectively, the “Services”).

We have developed the ThreatConnect Platform, a proprietary collaborative security operations and analytics platform that combines threat data collection, analysis, collaboration and expertise from a wide variety of sources into a single platform. Our platform provides software, information and tools to detect, track, analyze and defend against all manner of cyber threats through both on-premises and remote cloud applications.

We know you are concerned about your privacy, so we have developed this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain and secure your consent to how we collect, use and disclose information about you. This policy also explains when and how we may transfer that data to third parties for specifically identified purposes. We also explain your right to exercise certain data privacy rights that are granted under this policy or under applicable law and when those rights may not apply.

3. Commitments of Our Privacy Policy

3.1 Our Commitments to You. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of all visitors to this Site and any other Sites operated by us (collectively, the “Sites”) as well as online users of our Products and Services in accordance with applicable law. What that means is:

• WE DO NOT TRACK OR PROFILE OUR SITE VISITORS OR USERS OF OUR SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN FOR THE MARKETING, PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY OF OUR SERVICES;
• WE DO NOT SHARE ANY PERSONAL DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES FOR THEIR TRACKING OR PROFILING OF OUR USERS OR FOR THE MARKETING OF THEIR OWN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES; AND

3.2 Children. The Sites are not intended for nor directed to children and children are not eligible to use our Services. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. We do not collect or maintain Personal Information from people we actually know are under 13 years of age, and no part of our Sites or Services is designed to attract people under 13 years of age. If we later learn that a user is under 13 years of age, we will take steps to remove that user's Personal Information from our databases and prevent the user from utilizing the Sites and the Services.

4. How Our Services & Platform Work

4.1 Site Visitor. A user may visit our Sites at any time with or without acquiring any of our Products and Services but will still be subject to the terms of this policy. Site Visitor data will automatically be Processed by us and by certain Vendors for our own business and marketing purposes and will retain its character as Personal Information.

4.2 User Account Set-Up. A user which desires to acquire any of our Services will register an account, select the Product desired, complete the acquisition requirements and determine the configuration and scope of such Services. The user will select an appropriate Product, and Instance type (i.e., Cloud, Dedicated Cloud, or On-Premises), organize that Product with the appropriate access rights, administrative privileges and, if applicable, community of users and determine the specific Threat Analysis Tools, OSINT and User Data to upload, access or make available to or through its Instance. [All User Data relating to a User’s Product which constitutes Personal Information – excluding CAL Data –retains its character as Personal Information.]

4.3 CAL Access to User Data. For maximum benefit from the ThreatConnect Platform, our CAL tool must be engaged. It is automatically active for all Cloud based Products and is an optional, recommended feature of all Dedicated Cloud and On-Premises Instances of the Products. Organization(s) administering Dedicated Cloud and On-Premises instances of the Product may opt-out of CAL access to User data at any time which will apply to all organization Users within such instance. CAL DATA IN ITS PROCESSED FORM IS UNRECOVERABLE TO ANY USER, POSSESSES OR RETAINS NO DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS AND IS INTEGRAL TO THE PUBLIC SECURITY PURPOSES OF THE ThreatConnect PLATFORM.

4.4 Two Classes of Processed User Data. The access and use of our Sites, Products and Services will result in the creation of the following classes of User Data:

4.4.1 User Data that retains its character as Personal Information because you provide it or we receive it through your account with us or through your use of our Products and Services exclusive of any CAL Data or User Shared Data to an Online Community.

4.4.2 User Data which is converted to a form that has its character as Personal Information eliminated because it was shared and processed into CAL Data or was shared with an Online Community, the rights to which, in such anonymized or pseudonymized form, pass to us for use for our Legitimate Interests. Data Subject Rights do not apply to this data.

9. Your Data Subject Rights

9.1 Summary. This section summarizes your rights with regard to your Personal Data under certain Data Protection Laws (“Data Subject Rights”). These rights are complex and not all relevant details are included here. You should read the relevant laws and the available guidance from the relevant regulatory authorities and review recent cases inter-preting those requirements in order to fully understand the scope and applicability of these Data Subject Rights.

9.2 When Data Rights Do Not Apply. These Data Subject Rights only apply to the extent that the Personal Data under consideration is governed by Section 3.4(a), in that it retains its character as Personal Data. Even then, certain Data Subject Rights are overridden by the legal basis upon which the Processing occurs. These Data Subject Rights do not apply to the extent that the Personal Data under consideration is governed by Section 3.4(b), since the data no longer constitutes Personal Data of a user or our Legitimate Interests override and outweigh the applicability of such Data Rights.

9.3 Data Subject Rights Described. Your principal rights to Personal Data include, when and as applicable, the following. The following is a general statement of potential Data Subject Rights and does not imply that all such rights exist in all cases or as to all users. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address located on the last page of this policy:

(a) The Right of Access. You have a right to have access to the Personal Data we hold about you and to verify that we are using your Personal Data lawfully. If asked, we will provide confirmation of what Personal Data we hold, together with certain additional information such as the purposes of the Processing, the categories of Personal Data concerned and the recipients of the Personal Data. Provided that our rights and interests or the rights and interests of others are not affected, we will supply you with a copy of your Personal Data or inform you of the rights you may have with regard thereto.

(b) The Right of Rectification. You have the right to have any Personal Data held about you which is inaccurate to be rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the Processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

(c) The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten). In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your Personal Data. Those circumstances include when (i) the Personal Data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or processed; (ii) you withdraw consent to consent-based Processing such as marketing; (iii) you object to Processing and a balance of your rights against Legitimate Interests weighs in your favor, and/or (iv) the Processing is unlawful. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure, including where Processing is necessary for compliance with Legitimate Interests which override the right to erasure.

(d) The Right to Restrict Processing. In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the Processing of your Personal Data. Those circumstances include when you (i) accurately contest the accuracy of the Personal Data; (ii) Processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure of it; (iii) we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes of our Processing, and (iv) you have objected to Processing but our verification of your objection is still pending. Where Processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your Personal Data but will only Process it with your consent, for our Legitimate Interests or upon governmental order or request.

(e) The Right to Object to Processing. You have a right to object, in certain circumstances, to our Processing of your Personal Data. Among other grounds, you may object to our Processing of your Personal Data if we do not honor your rightful withdrawal of consent-based Processing or when you disagree with our assertion of Legitimate Interests. In such case, we will no longer Process the applicable Personal Data unless we can demonstrate compelling Legitimate Interests for such Processing which override your Data Rights. But if you do object to our Processing, we will seek to accommodate your request to the extent practicable.

(f) The Right to Data Portability. To the extent that the legal basis for our Processing of your Personal Data is (i) your consent; or (ii) the Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract and such Processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your Personal Data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it is outweighed by our Legitimate Interests or when it would adversely affect the rights or interests of others.

(g) The Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority. If you believe that our Processing of your Personal Data violates GDPR, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority responsible for data protection in the EU member state of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged violation.

(h) The Right to Withdraw Consent. To the extent that our Processing of your Personal Data is based solely upon your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time, which will terminate such Processing. A withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any Processing based on consent before our receipt of your withdrawal of consent.

10. Legal Bases for Our Processing of Personal Information

10.1 Lawful Basis for Processing. As provide in Article 6 of GDPR, Processing is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following justifications applies:

(a) The Data Subject has given consent to the Processing of his or her Personal Data for one or more specific purposes;

(b) Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the Data Subject prior to entering into a contract;

(c) Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

(d) Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

(e) Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; and/or

(f) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the Legitimate Interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where a balancing of such Legitimate Interests is overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject.

10.2 Legitimate Interests. Under Article 11 of GDPR, if the purposes for which a controller processes Personal Data do not require the identification of a Data Subject, the controller shall not be obliged to maintain, acquire or process additional information in or-der to identify the Data Subject solely to comply with GDPR. Also, Data Subject Rights as set forth in Articles 15-20 of the GDPR do not apply unless the controller actually receives additional information that enables the Data Subject to be identified. This provision is fur-ther support for our Processing of Personal Information in Threat Analysis Tools, OSINT and CAL, which may contain inadvertent, incidental or unassociated elements of Personal In-formation of Data Subjects.

10.3 Processing Based Upon Consent. Our collection and Processing of Personal Data associated solely with (i) your visitation to our Sites, without the purchase or preparation for purchase of any Products or Services, or (ii) for our own marketing purposes is your voluntary, informed consent.

11. Security of Personal Information

Taking into account the state-of-the-art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we agree to implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of Processing your Personal Information.

12. Retaining and Deleting Personal Information

12.1 Our data retention policies and procedures are designed to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations in relation to the retention and deletion of Personal In-formation, whether held by us or by any Sub-Processor or Vendor. We will take such reasonable steps as necessary to ensure that any duty or obligation that we have under this policy with regard to your Personal Information, including the return or erasure thereof, applies with equal effect to any Sub-Processor or Vendor with which we share such data.

12.2 Personal Information that we Process for any purpose will not be kept for longer than is necessary for the realization or completion of that purpose; provided that our Legitimate Interests justify a substantial retention period for the data subject to such Legitimate Interests and so long as they apply.
12.3 We will retain your Personal Information as follows:

(a) User Data that has retained its character as Personal Information (see, Section 3.4(a)) will be held and retained by us for the longer of (i) your withdrawal of any consent for such data collected on the basis of your consent; (ii) your exercise of any right to erasure or portability of any User Data subject to such Data Rights; and (iii) the minimum period necessary for us to fulfill the purposes of our ThreatConnect Processing Authorities or meet our Legitimate Interests with regard to such User Data;

(b) User Data for which its character as Personal Information has been eliminated (see, Section 3.4(b)), will be retained by us in its Anonymized, Pseudonymized or processed form as ThreatConnect Data and should never be expected to be recoverable, erasable or returnable as Personal Information; and

12.4 Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 12, we may retain your Personal Information beyond the period set forth in Section 12.3 where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person or for us to meet our other Legitimate Interests.
