3. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under GDPR
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.
We may process your Personal Data because:
- The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., providing our cybersecurity services).

The processing is in our legitimate interests, and your rights do not override those interests (e.g., improving our security offerings, network threat analytics).
- To comply with the law.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your personal information in the following situations:
- With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
- For Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
- For Law Enforcement and Legal Obligations: Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
- To Protect Rights and Property: We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation.

5. Security of Data
The security of your data is paramount to us. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including encryption solutions, access controls, regular security audits, and employee training. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our services, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
