Service providers, Cloud/hosting providers and digital enterprises rely on
Corero’s award winning SmartWall technology to eliminate the DDoS threat to
their environment through automatic attack detection and mitigation, coupled
with complete network visibility, analytics and reporting.

WHO THIS POLICY APPLIES TO

From time to time, as part of running our business, we collect and use certain
personal information about individuals who we interact with, in relation to the
provision of our software products and services (we refer to such individuals in
this Policy as “contacts” or “individuals” or “you”).

This Policy applies to individuals whose personal information we collect. You
may be located in the UK, Europe, America, or indeed worldwide. Depending on
your geographical location and which of our Corero entities handle your personal
information, certain parts of this Policy apply.

     your personal information is used by Corero UK.

If you are based in a country in Europe (other than the UK) and your personal
information is used by Corero US, then your personal information is likely to be
protected by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Policy has
been drafted to be GDPR compliant from a UK perspective, but the information in
part B of this Policy is likely to also be relevant for such European citizens
too (subject to minor variations for the specific European country in which you
are located, for instance the identity of the data protection regulator). Corero
may change this Policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check
this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This
Policy is effective from May 1, 2018.

8. HOW WE LEGALLY JUSTIFY USING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 Every use that we make of your personal information must meet a legal ground in
the list set out by UK data protection law. The grounds which we rely upon are
as follows:

Marketing – in relation to marketing activity which we perform using your
personal information, we rely on the following conditions:

 * For marketing to corporate subscriber customers / potential customers – the
   vast majority of the marketing activity which we undertake is to
   customers/potential customers who are corporate bodies or companies. For
   marketing to people who work for such customers, we rely on the condition
   that such marketing is necessary for us to achieve our legitimate interests,
   where your rights and freedoms are not jeopardised so as to override this
   legitimate interest. Our legitimate interests are to inform organisations
   about the products and services which we can offer, enhancements to the same
   and informing organisations about forthcoming events and special
 * For marketing to customers / potential customers who are sole traders or
   partnerships – on very rare occasions we may also market to people who work
   for sole traders or partnerships. In such circumstances, we will only send
   you marketing communications where we have received your prior consent to our
   doing so. If you withdraw your consent to receive marketing information at
   any time we will cease sending you any more marketing

For any marketing activity, you have the right to object to receiving further
direct marketing information and if you do so, we will cease sending you any
more marketing information. However, we will keep minimal personal information
about you on a screening list, to ensure that we do not accidentally send you
marketing information against your wishes in the future.

Day to day communications and managing existing relationships – the legal ground
which is relevant to us processing your personal information for such purposes
(for customers, suppliers, partners and website users) is that such processing
is necessary for us to achieve our legitimate interests, and where your rights
and freedoms are not jeopardised so as to override this legitimate interest. Our
legitimate interests are ensuring that we can communicate effectively with the
relevant personnel at such parties, in order for us to provide our products and
services in a timely and professional manner, and to honour our contractual and
other obligations to the parties who we work with.

Sharing personal information with Corero US – the legal ground which is relevant
to us sharing your personal information with Corero US is that such sharing is
necessary for us to achieve our legitimate interests, and where your rights and
freedoms are not jeopardised so as to override this legitimate interest. The
particular legitimate interests in this case is that Corero US controls our
marketing activities and therefore require access to contact details of
individuals who work at organisations to whom we wish to market our products and
services.

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you have any questions in relation to our use of your personal information,
you should first contact us using the contact details in paragraph 5 above.
Under certain conditions, you may have the right to require us to:

 * provide you with further details on the use we make of your personal
   information and/or transfer a copy of your personal information to another
   data controller;
 * provide you with an electronic copy of personal information that we hold;
 * update any inaccuracies in the personal information we hold and/or restrict
   processing of your personal information;
 * delete any personal information that we no longer have a lawful ground to
   use;
 * object to our use of your personal information which is based on the
   ‘legitimate interests’ legal ground. If our use of your personal information
   based only on this legal ground is causing you undue harm, then we must cease
   using your personal information for that

You also have the right to object to receiving direct marketing communications
from us (which we will promptly comply with) and where any other use of your
personal information is based on consent, to withdraw that consent at any time.

exemptions, for example to safeguard the public interest in investigating
crimes, or protecting legal privilege. If you exercise any of these rights we
will check your entitlement and respond in most cases within a month.

response to you, you can complain to the contact listed at paragraph 5 above.
