We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services to you:

  • Personal Data: This includes information that can identify you directly or indirectly. We collect Personal Data when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, leave a comment, or register for an account (if applicable). This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for various purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our website.
  • To notify you about changes to our website or services.
  • To allow you to participate in interactive features of our website when you choose to do so.
  • To provide customer support.
  • To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our website.

Google AdSense and DoubleClick DART Cookies

ASICybersecurity uses Google AdSense, a service for including advertisements from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help analyze how users use the website and to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. The DART cookie uses “non personally identifiable information” and does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.

You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under GDPR

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

ASICybersecurity may process your Personal Data because:

  • We need to perform a contract with you.
  • You have given us permission to do so.
  • The processing is in our legitimate interests and it’s not overridden by your rights.
  • To comply with the law.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your personal information in the following situations:

  • With Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our website (“Service Providers”), to provide the website on our behalf, to perform website-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our website is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • For Business Transfers: If ASICybersecurity is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
  • For Legal Requirements: We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
    • Comply with a legal obligation.
    • Protect and defend the rights or property of ASICybersecurity.
    • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the website.
    • Protect the personal safety of users of the website or the public.
    • Protect against legal liability.

Data Retention

ASICybersecurity will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our website, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Data Security

The security of your data is important to us. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we endeavor to use industry-standard measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the CCPA. The CCPA defines “personal information” as information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

As a California consumer, you have the following rights:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the purposes for collecting or selling the personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we share the personal information, and the categories of personal information that we have sold (if applicable) or disclosed for a business purpose.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not “sell” personal information in the traditional sense. However, some sharing of personal information with third parties for advertising purposes may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information. While we do not currently engage in activities defined as “selling” under CCPA for direct monetary gain, we respect this right and provide mechanisms for you to control third-party advertising cookies as detailed in the Google AdSense section.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require matching personal information you provide in your request to personal information we already have on file.

Our website is not intended for anyone under the age of 16 (or 13 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
