GuardMetrics Software Privacy Policy (Apps Privacy Policy below)

When you visit our websites, register for the Service, or request more information about GuardMetrics Services, we may request that you provide Personal Contact Data about yourself. Your personal contact data will be used by GuardMetrics to communicate with you about GuardMetrics service offerings as well as support related communications should you become a paid customer.


Contact DATA

GuardMetrics collects Personal Contact Data such as name, title, phone number, email address, and mailing address. Additionally, when you sign up for a GuardMetrics paid service, we collect your billing information, including your credit card number, expiration date, and billing address.


NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION

GuardMetrics also automatically collects navigational information such as your browser including your browser type, referrer page, domain name, access time, entry page, exit page, operating system type, and search engine keywords used.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

GuardMetrics uses the information we collect through our websites to measure our business success, to identify effective ways to communicate with or educate our customers and prospects, to meet requests for certain product features and services, and to communicate about product updates and service incidents.

GuardMetrics does not use or access any data collected by customers using GuardMetrics services except when specifically necessary to perform support functions that may be required from time to time. GuardMetrics acts as an agent (the data processor) for each of our customers, in that GuardMetrics processes Customer Data only on the instructions from our customers (the data controller). As per our customer agreements, GuardMetrics does not access or make use of any data collected on the customer’s behalf except as necessary to provide our services to that customer. We do not aggregate, transfer, or otherwise disclose it to anyone but the customer, or pursuant to the customer’s instructions. We do, however, reserve a right to disclose data collected by customer if required by law or valid order of a court or other governmental authority.

Our legal basis for collecting and processing your Contact Data when you evaluate GuardMetrics Services, register for a GuardMetrics account, or purchase GuardMetrics Services is based on the necessity to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract. Our legal basis for collecting and processing your Personal Data when you subscribe to receive GuardMetrics marketing emails is based on consent. There may be instances where processing Personal Data is in our legitimate interests (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote GuardMetrics Services, and to protect our legal obligations and interests.

INFORMATION WE SHARE

GuardMetrics will not rent, sell, or share Personal Data about you with third parties except to provide services that you have requested, when we otherwise have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

  • When we need to disclose Personal Data to third-party agents that work on our behalf in order to provide GuardMetrics Services, but only to the extent needed to enable them to provide such services. For example, GuardMetrics uses third party agents for infrastructure hosting services and payment processing. All such third parties function as our agents performing services at our instruction and on our behalf pursuant to contracts which require they provide an equivalent level of privacy protection as is required by this Privacy Statement and any applicable data processing agreement in place.
  • When we need to transfer your Contact Data to provide you with a service or product you are requesting through a GuardMetrics business partner. For example, if you sign up for a GuardMetrics account through one of our authorized resellers, or if you request to be referred to a GuardMetrics partner for services not provided directly by GuardMetrics such as telecom and other services.
  • When we conform to edicts of the law, to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes.
  • When you have violated our agreements for the GuardMetrics Services you are using or have used.
  • When we act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our customers or the public.
  • If we (or our assets) are acquired, or go through some other change of control, Contact Data could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
