Finally, please note that some of the abovementioned Personal Data will be used for fraud detection and
prevention, and for security purposes. The abovementioned Personal Data may also be used to comply with
applicable laws, with investigations performed by the relevant authorities, law enforcement purposes, and/or to
exercise or defend legal claims. In certain cases, we may or will anonymize your Personal Data. “Anonymous
Information” means information which does not enable identification of an individual user, such as aggregated
information about the use of our services. We may use Anonymous Information and/or disclose it to third parties
without restrictions (for example, in order to improve our services and enhance your experience with them).

  1. HOW WE PROTECT AND RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA
  • Security. We have implemented appropriate technical, organizational and security measures designed to
    protect your Personal Data. However, please note that we cannot guarantee that the information will not be
    compromised as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers. As the security of information depends
    in part on the security of the computer, device or network you use to communicate with us and the security
    you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect
    this information.
  • Retention of your Personal Data. In addition to the retention periods mentioned above, in some
    circumstances we may store your Personal Data for longer periods of time, for example (i) where we are
    required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements, or (ii) for us
    to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or (iii)
    if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Data or dealings. We
    have an internal data retention policy to ensure that we do not retain your Personal Data perpetually.
    Regarding retention of cookies, you can read more in our cookie policy.
  1. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In addition to the recipients described above, we may share your Personal Data as follows:

  • To the extent necessary, with regulators, courts or competent authorities, to comply with applicable laws,
    regulations and rules (including, without limitation, federal, state or local laws), and requests of law
    enforcement, regulatory and other governmental agencies or if required to do so by court order;
  • If, in the future, we sell or transfer, or we consider selling or transferring, some or all of our business,
    shares or assets to a third party, we will disclose your Personal Data to such third party (whether actual
    or potential) in connection with the foregoing events;
  • In the event that we are acquired by, or merged with, a third party entity, or in the event of bankruptcy or
    a comparable event, we reserve the right to transfer, disclose or assign your Personal Data in connection
    with the foregoing events; and/or
  • Where you have provided your consent to us sharing or transferring your Personal Data (e.g., where you
    provide us with marketing consents or opt-in to optional additional services or functionality).
  1. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
  • Storage: AWS – Europe (Ireland).
  • Internal transfers: Transfers within the CISOteria affiliated companies will be covered by an
    internal processing agreement entered into by members of the CISOteria affiliated companies (an intra-group
    agreement) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that Personal Data receives an adequate and
    consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred to.
  • External transfers: Where we transfer your Personal Data outside of EU/EEA (for example to third
    parties who provide us with services), we will obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your
    Personal Data. Some of these assurances are well recognized certification schemes like the EU – US Privacy
    Shield for the protection of Personal Data transferred from within the EU to the United States.
  1. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS.
  • Rights: The following rights (which may be subject to certain exemptions or derogations) shall apply
    to certain individuals (some of which only apply to individuals protected by the GDPR):
  • You have a right to access Personal Data held about you. Your right of access may normally be exercised free
    of charge, however we reserve the right to charge an appropriate administrative fee where permitted by
    applicable law;
  • You have the right to request that we rectify any Personal Data we hold that is inaccurate or misleading;
  • You have the right to request the erasure/deletion of your Personal Data (e.g. from our records). Please
    note that there may be circumstances in which we are required to retain your Personal Data, for example for
    the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • You have the right to object, to or to request restriction, of the processing;
  • You have the right to data portability. This means that you may have the right to receive your Personal Data
    in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and that you have the right to transmit that
    data to another controller;
  • You have the right to object to profiling;
  • You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that there may be circumstances in
    which we are entitled to continue processing your data, in particular if the processing is required to meet
    our legal and regulatory obligations. Also, please note that the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the
    lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;
  • You also have a right to request certain details of the basis on which your Personal Data is transferred
    outside the European Economic Area, but data transfer agreements and/or other details may need to be
    partially redacted for reasons of commercial confidentiality;
  • You have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority (i.e., your
    place of habitual residence, place or work or place of alleged infringement) at any time or before the
    relevant institutions in your place of residence . We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with
    us before you contact your local supervisory authority and/or relevant institution.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us at privacy@cisoteria.com.Subject
to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request
promptly in accordance with applicable law or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil
your request. When processing your request, we may ask you for additional information to confirm or verify your
identity and for security purposes, before processing and/or honoring your request. We reserve the right to
charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In the
event that your request would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (for example, would impact the
duty of confidentiality we owe to others) or if we are legally entitled to deal with your request in a different
way than initial requested, we will address your request to the maximum extent possible, all in accordance with
applicable law.

  • Deleting your account: Should you ever decide to delete your account, you may do so by emailing
    privacy@cisoteria.com. If you terminate your account, any association between your account and Personal Data
    we store will no longer be accessible through your account. However, given the nature of sharing on certain
    services, any public activity on your account prior to deletion will remain stored on our servers and will
    remain accessible to the public.
  1. USE BY CHILDREN

We do not offer our products or services for use by children and, therefore, we do not knowingly collect Personal
Data from, and/or about children under the age of eighteen (18). If you are under the age of eighteen (18), do
not provide any Personal Data to us without involvement of a parent or a guardian. For the purposes of the GDPR,
we do not intend to offer information society services directly to children. In the event that
we become aware that you provide Personal Data in violation of applicable privacy laws, we reserve the right to
delete it. If you believe that we might have any such information, please contact us at privacy@cisoteria.com.

    collect information about use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users
    visit this Website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they used prior to coming
    to this Website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to maintain and improve the Website and

    Information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits
    to this Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service, available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html/,
    and the Google Privacy Policy, available at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

    for mobile devices
    (including Android Advertising ID and Advertising Identifier for iOS), cookies and
    similar technologies. We use the information we get from Google Analytics for Firebase to maintain and
    improve our App(s). We do not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with

    identifiers and technical data, such as IP address, User agent, IDFA (Identifier For Advertisers) or Android
    ID (in Android devices); and (ii) technical data regarding your operating system, device attributes and
    settings, applications, advertising opt-out signals, Google Advertiser ID, in-app events, device motion

    AppsFlyer’s terms of use (available at https://www.appsflyer.com/terms-of-use/) and

    to collect and analyze data from our services.  
  • Hotjar. The Website uses Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to
    optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our
    users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users
    do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar

    for ad targeting. Please note that third parties, including Facebook, use cookies, web beacons, and other
    storage technologies to collect or receive information from your websites and elsewhere on the internet and

    information is governed by the Facebook Tools Terms, available at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/technology_terms/. You can
    prevent your data from being used by Facebook Pixels and SDKs by exercising your choice through these
    mechanisms: http://www.aboutads.info/

    information about use of the Website. When we activate Google Signals, some existing Google Analytics
    features are updated to also include aggregated data from Google users who have turned on “Ads
    Personalization” (Ads Personalization available at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662856/).
    Audiences that we create in Google Analytics and publish to Google Ads and other Google Marketing Platform
    advertising products can serve ads in cross device-eligible remarketing campaigns to Google users who have
    turned on Ads Personalization. Google Analytics collects additional information about users who have turned
    on Ads Personalization, base across device types and on aggregated data from users who have turned on Ads
    Personalization. The data is user based rather than session based. The Cross Device reports include only
    aggregated data. No data for individual users is ever exposed. You can modify your interests, choose whether
    your Personal Data is used to make ads more relevant to you, and turn on or off certain advertising services
    in the Ads Personalization link above.
