When we say “you,” we are referring to a customer, to a visitor to our Sites or to a participant at a Digital Risk Inc. event or activity, such as a conference attendee. A “customer” is an entity or organization that has acquired a subscription to Digital Risk Inc. for Services (“business customer”).

3. Scope of Policy

In addition to describing our practices for collecting, using and disclosing personal information, this Policy describes the rights individuals have to control the use of their personal information.

12. Sharing information within our group and with our service providers

We are headquartered in Canada and operate internationally. We may share personal information described in this Policy with third-party vendors and service providers who are working on our behalf and require access to your information to carry out that work.

These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide services to Digital Risk Inc. and/or the Services and are bound to contractual obligations to maintain the confidentiality of your information. Accordingly, you should be aware that your personal information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, and that those countries may have different privacy and data protection laws than where you reside.

13. Safeguarding personal information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.

(This paragraph applies to our public Sites, not the features or functionality of the Services.) Our Sites may include social media features. These features on our Sites may collect information about your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Site, and they may set a cookie to make sure the features function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. We also maintain presences on social media platforms. Any information, communications, or materials you submit to us via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves.

Notices for European Union Residents

19. Transfers of personal information from the European Union to Canada

As noted above, we, and many of our service providers operate internationally. In addition to ensuring those providers are bound by restrictions on use and disclosure of personal information, our agreements with them also reflect the legal mechanisms in place to ensure the transfer of personal information is in compliance with European data protection law. If the European Union (EU) data protection law applies to the processing of your information, you can exercise your right to request access to, update, remove, and restrict the processing of your information. You also have the right to object to the processing of your information or export your information to another service.

Controllers, processors and your GDPR rights

Under the GDPR, a “processor” is a person or entity that processes personal information on behalf of the controller, and the “controller” is the person or entity that determines how and why personal information is processed. This distinction recognizes that not all persons or entities involved in the processing of personal information have the same degree of responsibility. In that vein, controllers are typically primarily responsible for managing EU residents’ exercises of their rights under GDPR (“data subject rights”). Data subject rights include, among others, an individual’s right to access, correct, restrict processing of and/or delete his or her personal information.

21. Our role as a processor for business customers

The Services are intended to be used and managed by the business customer. In general, we are collecting and processing personal information in connection with a business customer’s use of the Services on behalf of that customer. In that case, the business customer is acting as the controller and Digital Risk Inc. is acting as a processor according to the business customer’s instructions. If you are an EU resident and believe Digital Risk Inc. is processing your personal information on behalf of a business customer, and you would like to exercise your data subject rights, please start by contacting the business customer.

22. Our role as a controller

In other cases, such as personal information used by Digital Risk Inc. for management of a customer’s account, invoicing and marketing, Digital Risk Inc. will be the controller with respect to personal information. If you are an EU resident, in situations where we are the controller of your personal information and you would like to exercise your data subject rights, please contact us as provided in paragraph 5.

23. Legal bases for processing

The GDPR requires that personal information be processed lawfully and outlines specific legal bases for processing. We describe in paragraphs 6 through 10 above the personal information we may collect, and in paragraph 11 how we may use it. The legal bases under the GDPR for those uses depends on the personal information collected and the context of its collection. Digital Risk Inc. has determined a basis for each use, including:

performing a contract, or taking steps linked to a contract, such as providing the Services to you if you are an individual customer;
subject to our interests not being overridden by your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms, pursuing legitimate interests in the conduct of our business, such as processing the data of our EU employees;
processing your personal information where you have provided consent, such as when you submit an online form with your contact information on our Site requesting that we get in touch with you with information on our Services; and
complying with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests by public authorities.

24. Inquiries and Complaints

For inquiries or complaints regarding this Policy, we request that EU residents first contact Digital Risk Inc. as provided in paragraph 5. You may also approach your local data protection authority (referred to under the GDPR as your supervisory authority) which can provide further information about your rights and our obligations in relation to your personal information.

The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

29. Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by first contacting Digital Risk Inc. as provided in paragraph 5.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

30. Response Timing and Format

We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

31. Changes to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
