We at Trustify Ltd (“we”, “us” or “the Company”) are committed to protect the privacy of our customers who are licensed to use our software (“Software”) on their internal network (“Client(s)”), as well as authorised end users who have access to any of the data resources monitored by our Software on the Client’s behalf (“End Users”).
Please note that the term “you” shall refer to Clients and End Users, as applicable.
Our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy“) will help you understand what information we collect when you use our Software, which scans, encrypts, observes, reviews and monitors your personal files and emails for backup and restoration purposes (the foregoing actions enabled by means of the Software shall be hereinafter referred to as “Services”). It also sets out our use of Cookies.
When providing our Services, we may act in one of two distinct roles:
- as a “data controller” that has a direct contractual relationship with the individuals who provide their information to the Company (e.g. Clients who purchase our Software);
- as a “data processor” when processing User Data (as defined below, under “What type of information we collect”) and acting under the sole direction of our Clients. In this case, Client must ensure that all End Users have been informed of, and have given their consent to Company’s use and the process of any information, as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy is a part of our End User License Agreements and is incorporated herein by references.
We encourage Clients and End Users to read the Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions.
What type of information we collect
We collect two types of data and information from our users.
- The first type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a user(s), which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Services (“Non-personal Information”). We are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-personal information was collected.
Non-personal Information which is being collected may include usernames and passwords, directory names, server names, file names, configurations, other software you use, event logs and browsing events.
We may also collect clickstream data, aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time and the domain name of the website from which you linked to the Services; etc.), in order to enhance the functionality of our Services.
We may anonymise or de-identify the information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose.
- The second type of information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual (“Personal Information”).
We may collect the following types of Personal Information when using our Services:
- Registration: If a Client decides to open an account and register to our Services, the Client will be asked to provide Personal Information to us. The Personal information we collect through the registration process includes your full name, phone number, physical address, and e-mail address.
In addition, as part of the registration process, you may be required (depending on the specific product you wish to use or purchase as part of the Services) to provide us, or our third party service providers, additional information, including your billing information. Such information may include your phone number, credit card number, etc.
- Stored information: After Client installs our Software on its (or its End User’s) devices(s), we will be able to scan and encrypt files and email content which are scanned and processed via our Software. As part of the scanning process, we may have access to various types of Personal Information, which are stored on the applicable device(s) (“User Data”), including, but not limited to:
- The content of emails;
- Names and email addresses of senders/ recipients of emails;
- Photographs, images, and videos;
- Device identifiers – such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address and other types of unique device identifiers; and
- Personal documents.
User Data which is collected and processed by us may also include sensitive data, which may reveal your ethnic origin, health data, religion, sexual orientation, etc. (e.g. “Sensitive Information”).
We will only use and process such information for the sole purpose of providing you with our services. By allowing us access to your Sensitive Information, you explicitly consent to the collection and use of your Sensitive Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Please note that the User Data is exclusively controlled by the Client, meaning that the Client maintains ownership of their related information and determines their own policies regarding the access permission and retention of such User Data.
You also acknowledge that part of this User Data may include Personal Information which relates to other individuals. You warrant that you have all the required authorisations, consents, and approvals from these individuals to allow us to access and process such information.
- Device Information: We may also collect Personal Information from your or your End Users’ devices. Such information includes IP address and other information which relates to user activity through the Services. We also use tracking technologies (e.g. local storage, pixels, etc.) as part of our Services in order to identify recipients who receive emails from the relevant End Users.
- Voluntary information: We collect information which you provide us voluntarily. For example, when you respond to communications from us, communicate with us via email or share additional information about yourself through your use of the Services. We may also collect your feedback, suggestions, complaints, and reports sent to us.
To the extent that the Company processes Personal Information, such processing is based on the consent of the data subject or where such processing is necessary for the performance of a contractor for the fulfilment of a legitimate interest pursued by the Company.
