SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

For purposes of this Privacy Policy:

  • A “Customer” means an entity that has contracted with Menlo Security (such as through an applicable services agreement) to access our products, solutions or platforms (the “Menlo Security Technology”).
  • A “User” means an individual who accesses the Menlo Security Technology as or on behalf of a Customer, including Customer personnel.
  • A “Site Visitor” means an individual who visits our Site outside of the context of our Customers’ use of the Menlo Security Technology.
  • A “Customer End User” means an individual whose information Menlo Security receives from Customer, or otherwise processes on Customer’s behalf, in connection with the Menlo Security Technology provided by Menlo Security to Customer pursuant to an applicable services agreement.

This Privacy Policy applies to our handling of information about Site Visitors, prospective Customers, and current Customers and Users (in relation to their procurement of the Menlo Security Technology and management of their relationship with Menlo Security). We refer collectively to these categories of individuals as “you” throughout this Privacy Policy.

However, this Privacy Policy does not cover information about Customer End Users that Menlo Security receives from Customer, or otherwise processes on Customer’s behalf, in connection with the Menlo Security Technology provided by Menlo Security to Customer pursuant to an applicable services agreement (including the content of messages, files and attachments of Customer End Users (“End User Communications”)). Menlo Security processes End User Communications and other information of Customer End Users under the instructions of the relevant Customer as the “data controller” or similar role as defined in applicable privacy laws, as described in the applicable services agreement entered into by such Customer and Menlo Security. Menlo Security’s obligations as a “data processor” or “service provider” with respect to such information are defined in such services agreement, and are not made part of this Privacy Policy.

If you are a Customer End User and you have questions about how your information is collected and processed through the Menlo Security Technology, please contact the Customer who has provided your information to us for more information.

We may use such information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes, and may also disclose such data to any third parties, including advertisers, partners, and sponsors.

The legal bases for using your information as set out in this Privacy Policy are as follows:

  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation in the EU
  • Where we have your consent to process your information in a certain way

ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING

ANALYTICS. We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

ONLINE ADVERTISING. In using the Services, we allow select third party advertising technology partners to place cookies or other tracking technologies on the browser of your device to collect information about you as discussed above. These third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google, Facebook, and others) may use this information to serve relevant content and advertising to you as you browse the Internet, and access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your browser to assist in this activity. If you are interested in more information about these online advertising activities, and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. Please note that if you use these mechanisms, you may still see advertising on our Services or across the Internet, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals.

Opt Out of Sale/Sharing of Personal Information

The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” personal information or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. Under the CCPA, “sale” and “sharing” are defined such that they may include allowing third parties to receive certain information for advertising purposes.

If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes under California law (as indicated in the chart above), please visit the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of our website. If you have a legally-recognized browser-based opt out preference signal turned on via your device browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law.

We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Your California Privacy Rights. The CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:

Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information.

In addition, California residents may make certain requests about their personal information under the CCPA as set forth in “Your Rights and Your Choices” section above. The CCPA further provides you with the right not to be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Service to you. We also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request. In doing so, we may ask you for verification information so that we can match at least two verification points with information we maintain in our files about you. If we are unable to verify you through this method, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request additional information from you.

If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, or if you are an authorized agent making a request on a California consumer’s behalf, please contact us using the contact information provided below. If you are a Customer End User, please contact the Customer who has provided your information to us for more information.

If we ever offer any financial incentives in exchange for your personal information, we will provide you with appropriate information about such incentives.

In the limited circumstances that we process sensitive personal information as defined in the CCPA, we do not use or disclose it other than for disclosed and permitted business purposes for which there is not a right to limit under the CCPA.

Shine the Light Disclosure: The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

NOTICE TO NEVADA RESIDENTS

Certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration (as such terms are defined under Nevada law) to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by contacting us using the methods outlined in the “Contact Information” section.
