Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the types of personal information RemoteThreat, Inc. and its affiliates and related entities (collectively, “Company” or “we”) collect about you through our operation of our businesses and various digital properties (our “Services”), how we use that information, who we disclose the information to, and certain rights and options you may have regarding your personal information.
This Policy applies to information we collect from you through the websites, cybersecurity platform and related services, social media profiles, and customer portal made available by us, as well as when you communicate with us, interact with us, or otherwise provide us with information. You may be presented with other privacy notices during the course of interacting with us or using our Services; those notices supplement this Policy for the activities they address.
To the extent we process personal information on behalf of a business customer in providing our cybersecurity Services, we process that information under our agreements with that customer. The customer’s privacy notices apply to its collection and use of that information. This Policy does not change those agreements or authorize additional uses of customer information.
Notice Regarding Use of Artificial Intelligence
We may deploy, via our Services, agents that use artificial intelligence technologies (collectively, “AI”) to provide users with information, content, or other materials.
Some interactions with our Services may be with AI-powered agents rather than a natural person.
If you have questions about our AI-powered agents or would like to contact a person, please use the Contact Us information below. Some features rely on AI-powered agents and do not have a human substitute.
Personal Information We Collect or Receive About You
1. Personal Information You Provide or Make Available
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” is any information that, either alone or in combination with other information, identifies, relates to, or can be used to contact a particular individual. The types of personal information we may collect include the following categories.

This also includes service agreement records, invoicing and payment statements, and other financial information related to your service relationship with us.
- Business client information: If you are an authorized representative of a business client, we collect information necessary to administer your organization’s account, including your client identification number, user access and authorization records, tax identification information (such as EINs for invoicing and tax reporting purposes), service scope and configuration information, and records related to your participation in service reviews and account management activities.
- User content: Information, photos, posts, reviews, feedback, or other content that you submit or upload to our digital properties. If we offer community or other public features, content you choose to post there may be associated with your account and viewable by other users.
- Marketing information: Details regarding promotional materials you may have requested or received from us, the services in which you are interested, your receipt of newsletters or other promotional communications, and information on your marketing or communication preferences.

For platform and customer portal users, this also includes browser type and account activity logs.
We collect this information when you use our digital properties or Services, create or use an account, request information, communicate or interact with us, participate in surveys or activities we offer, submit a job application, or otherwise provide us with personal information.
If you do not provide us with certain information, then the digital property you are using may not function as intended, or you may not be able to benefit or take advantage of certain features of our products or services. For example, if you do not provide us with your name and email address, you cannot create an account with us.
Where we have an ongoing relationship with you, and any of the data you have provided (e.g., your contact information) is no longer accurate, please inform us of this so we can amend our records accordingly.
Please note that we may aggregate or anonymize the foregoing types of information such that they are no longer capable of identifying you, in which case they are no longer considered “personal information.”
2. Automatically Collected Personal Information
Like most digital property operators, we use various technologies to collect certain types of information about the users of our digital properties. Our analytics and advertising partners may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites and online services when you use our digital properties. Our technology providers may collect information directly from your device at the same time we do.
The technologies we use on our digital properties include:
- Pixels, tags, web beacons, gifs, and similar code-based technologies. These technologies are small pieces of code that run when a digital property page or an email is loaded. They are used to monitor the behavior of the visitor or email recipient—such as what icons were clicked or whether links in an email were opened—and gather analytics and details about the interaction. Pixels work in conjunction with cookies to let us know what portions of our digital properties are of interest to you and to help us provide you with tailored information. Even if you have disabled or turned off cookies (discussed below), the pixels, tags, and web beacons we use may still detect and collect certain information about your interaction with our digital property.
- Cookies: Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. Our website uses different types of cookies to, among other things, automatically recognize you when you return to our site, store information regarding your preferences, and analyze traffic to our site. Please note that where cookies are essential to the operation of our site, if disabled, you may not be able to enjoy certain features of the site. For further information about cookies, including how to refuse cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Log Files and Device Identifiers. We use log files to track actions occurring on digital properties and to collect data about visitors, including IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and device identifiers.
- Analytics. Our digital properties may use third-party analytics tools to help us understand usage and improve functionality, performance, and user experience. These tools may use cookies and similar technologies to collect device and usage information, such as pages visited, features used, and time spent on our digital properties.
The information collected through these technologies may be combined with personal information or aggregated with other information on website visits. We may share information about your use of our website with our advertising and analytics partners, who may combine it with other information that you previously provided to them.
Please see the Section titled “Your Choices About Your Personal Information” for more information about options you may have to configure pixels, tags, cookies, and similar technologies on our digital property.
3. Personal Information from Other Sources
We may obtain both personal and non-personal information about you from other users of our website and services, business partners, suppliers, and other third parties and add it to other information we have collected. We may purchase lead lists and obtain business contact information from third-party sources.
If single sign-on is available and your organization enables it, we receive authentication information from your organization’s identity provider to verify your identity and provide access to our Services.
We, and the third parties we engage, may combine information we collect from you over time and across your online activity with information obtained from other sources. This helps us improve the information’s overall accuracy and completeness and also helps us better tailor our interactions with you.
4. Personal Information from Social Media
If you interact with us on any social media platform: (i) depending on your social media privacy settings, the personal information that you submit on the social media platform may be read, collected, or used by us as described in this Policy, and (ii) where we respond to any interaction with you on social media, your account name/handle may be viewable by any and all members or users of our social media accounts. Social media platforms operate independently from us and we are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit or link on any social media platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of any social media platform with which you interact to help you understand their privacy practices. We may also use LinkedIn for organic outreach, recruiting, and advertising.
