4. HOW WE PROTECT THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

The security and confidentiality of your personal data is important to us.  We have technical, administrative, and physical security measures in place to protect your personal data from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use. 

For example, we use Transport Security Layer (TSL) encryption to protect the data collection forms on our Site. In addition, access to customer information is restricted to authorized personnel only.  Only employees who need the personal data to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personal data. Employees with access to personal data are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.  Credit card numbers are used for payment processing and automatic renewals where applicable, and are not retained for other purposes.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to close your browser after you have completed your visit to the Site.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data.

6. INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO NON-U.S. USERS

a) All locations outside of the United States

The personal data collected through the Site is downloaded to a server maintained by Coalfire.  Coalfire is located at AWS-East-01 in the United States. Coalfire will comply with requests to exercise individual data rights in accordance with applicable law.  You can contact privacy@Coalfire.com to request to exercise your data rights.

b) European Economic Area and Switzerland

The information in this section, as well as the information in the section above titled “All locations outside of the United States”, applies to users in the European Economic Area and Switzerland (collectively, the “EEA”).

Individuals in the EEA (“EEA Individuals”) are not required by statute or by contract to provide any personal data to the Site.  Coalfire sometimes uses EEA Individuals’ personal data submitted through the Site for automated decision-making. For example, Coalfire may display advertisements and send emails to you containing content automatically chosen based on the products you have ordered from us in the past. However, Coalfire will not use EEA Individuals’ personal data submitted through the Site for automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects the EEA Individual.   

Cross-Border Data Transfers:
The personal data collected through the Site will be transferred to the United States.  The recipients of personal data collected through the Site (listed in Section 3 above) are located in the United States or in the country where the data was collected. The European Commission has not issued a determination that the United States ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data. 

Legal Bases For Processing:
Coalfire processes your personal data with your consent and as required by law.  In addition, Coalfire processes your personal data as necessary for the performance of the sales contract, for example, when processing your requests, and to take steps, at your request, before entering into a contract with you.  For example, if you ask us for quotes for products and services you are interested in buying, we may send them to you.  Coalfire also processes personal data as necessary for its legitimate interests as follows:

  • Marketing and advertising: Unless you opt out as described below, we use your personal data regarding products and services you have ordered, or in which you have otherwise demonstrated an interest, as necessary to provide you information about the products and services that we think might interest you in accordance with applicable law.
  • Network and information security, fraud prevention, and reporting suspected criminal acts: In the event of fraud, a security incident, or a suspected criminal act, we would examine personal data that appeared to be linked to the incident as necessary to determine what happened, remediate, report to the authorities, and prevent a recurrence.

Right to Object to Processing for Direct Marketing or Legitimate Interests:
EEA Individuals have the right to object to the processing of their personal data for purposes of Coalfire’s direct marketing or legitimate interests by contacting Coalfire at privacy@Coalfire.com.

Data Retention
We retain your personal data for the duration of the customer relationship, if any. We also retain your personal data for 12 months after our last interaction with you.

Individual Rights:
EEA Individuals have the right to access their personal data collected by the Site and to request that Coalfire update, correct, or delete their personal data as provided by applicable law.  EEA Individuals also have the right to object to, or restrict, Coalfire’s processing of their personal data.

 

In addition, EEA Individuals have the right to data portability concerning their personal data.  Subject to certain limitations, the right to data portability allows EEA Individuals to obtain from Coalfire, or to ask Coalfire to send to a third party, a digital copy of the personal data that they provided to the Site. EEA Individuals’ right to access their personal data includes their right to receive a copy of all, or a portion, of their personal data in Coalfire’s possession as long as Coalfire’s providing the personal data would not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

EEA Individuals can exercise these rights by contacting privacy@Coalfire.com.  Coalfire will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable data protection law.  If EEA Individuals believe that their personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection law, they have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in the country where they reside, where they work, or where the alleged violation occurred.

EEA Individuals may use the contact information above, at any time, to withdraw their consent for the processing of their personal data where Coalfire requires their consent as a legal basis for processing their personal data.  Any withdrawal will apply only prospectively, and Coalfire will continue to retain the personal data that EEA Individuals provided before they withdrew their consent for as long as allowed or required by applicable law.
