We at McAfee, LLC, including our affiliates (“McAfee”, “we”, “us”, “our”), care
deeply about privacy, security, and online safety, all of which are a
significant part of our essential mission: to protect users of our products and
services (“you” and “your”) from the risks of theft, disruption, and
unauthorized access to their online information and activities. This Privacy
Notice (“Notice”) is designed to inform you about how we collect, use, and share
your personal data through our website (our “Site”), products, services, and
web-based and mobile applications (collectively, the “Services”) or when you
interact with us.

McAfee sells products and services directly to consumers (you can find more
information about those products here, “Consumer Products”), as well as to
corporations and business customers (you can find more information about those
products here, "Enterprise Products”). This Privacy Notice applies both to the
information we collect from you or your device when you download one of our
Services and to the information we collect when one of our distribution partners
or business customers installs our Services on your device.

When you access or use our Services, you acknowledge that you have read this
Notice and understand its contents. Your use of our Services and the Site and
any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice, any applicable Terms of
Service (including any applicable limitations on damages and the resolution of
disputes) and any applicable End User License Agreement.

As McAfee grows, our business changes, and we may update this Notice at any time
as we deem appropriate to reflect those changes. If there are any material
changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you by email, in-product
notification, or as otherwise required by applicable law. It is important that
you check back and make sure that you have reviewed the most current version of
this Notice.

This Notice applies to all users of our Services across the world. Some users,
including residents of the European Economic Area, may have additional rights
depending on where they are located, which are described in this Notice.

What Kinds of Information Do We Collect?

In order to provide our services, we collect information. Some information you
provide directly to us, some we collect automatically through our Services, and
some is collected from third parties. In this Notice, “Personal Data” refers to
data that could be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify
you as an individual. We collect information you provide to us. For example, we
collect information when you purchase a product or service, create an account,
fill out a form, participate in a contest or promotion, request customer
service, or otherwise communicate with us.

The types of Personal Data you may provide includes:
Contact information (such as name, email address, mailing address, and phone
number);
Payment information (including payment card numbers and associated identifiers,
billing address, and bank account information); and
Account log-in credentials (which for some Services may include social network
credentials).
We may also collect other information from or about you, such as information
about what products you purchased, your interests, demographic information,
photographs and videos, and biometric data such as fingerprints or voice prints.
You may also provide us with additional data. For example, when you use our
identity theft protection services, you will have the option to provide your
social media log-in information so that we can monitor your social media
accounts. We automatically collect information about your interactions with the
Services as well as devices on which the Services are installed. In some cases,
we automatically collect information about other devices connected to the same
network as the device on which the Services are installed. For example, we may
collect and use the following: Information about the products you looked at or
searched for and the Services you used, including time spent and other
statistical information. Details about your computers, devices, applications,
and networks, including internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers,
mobile carrier, Bluetooth device IDs, mobile device ID, mobile advertising
identifiers, MAC address, IMEI, Advertiser IDs, and other device identifiers
that are automatically assigned to your computer or device when you access the
Internet, browser type and language, language preferences, battery level, on/off
status, geo-location information, hardware type, operating system, Internet
service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Services, the
date and time of your visit, the amount of time you spend on each page,
information about the links you click and pages you view within the Services,
and other actions taken through use of the Services such as preferences. We may
collect this information through our Services or through other methods of web
analysis. When you use our products to protect your mobile device, we collect
geolocation data of the device on which the product is installed. Details about
your internet, app, or network usage (including URLs or domain names of websites
you visit, information about the applications installed on your device, or
traffic data); and performance information, crash logs, and other aggregate or
statistical information. In order to provide you our Services, including to
detect and evaluate malware and spam, we may scan, collect, and store data from
your files, including emails, attachments, email addresses, metadata, and URLs
and traffic data. We collect this information through our Services and through
technologies such as cookies, web beacons or web bugs, and clear GIFs. Please
see our Cookie Notice for more information about the cookies and similar
technologies that we use and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from other sources and combine that
information with the information we collect directly. Examples of information we
may receive from other sources include: updated delivery or payment information
used to correct our records; purchase or redemption information; and customer
support and enrollment information. For our identity protection Consumer
Products, we also may collect credit or identity information which we use to
help prevent and detect fraud. Location Information Certain Services may request
permission to access your location. Where you grant this permission, we will
collect information about your location using GPS, wireless, or Bluetooth
technology. You can control access to precise location information through your
mobile device settings. We also may look up your IP address to determine your
general location.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

To Help Protect You When you install or use one of our Services, it will run in
the background of your device or environment to help predict threats and better
protect you, your devices, and your information. For example, McAfee may use

you use our identity monitoring products. To Run Our Business We also use the
information we collect for other business purposes, including to: Authenticate
your identity and prevent fraud with your biometric data; Analyze your behavior
to measure, customize, and improve our Site and Services, including developing
new products and services; Advertise McAfee products and services that we think

illicit or illegal activities, or where we are bound by contract or law to
enable a customer or business partner to comply with applicable laws; In
connection with, or during negotiations for, an acquisition, merger, asset sale,

Personal Data consistent with this Notice or gains your consent for other uses
or disclosures); With your consent or at your direction, such as when you choose
to share information or publicly post content and reviews (for example, social
media posts); and With persons of your choosing and at your discretion, should

periods as are necessary in connection with that claim. Once the abovementioned
periods, each to the extent applicable, have concluded, we will either

Children’s Privacy

Some of McAfee’s Services provide security features that parents may use to
monitor their child’s activity online, physical location, or use of a registered
device. These Services require parental consent, and we do not knowingly use the
Personal Data we collect from children’s devices for any purpose except to
deliver the Services. These products allow parents to delete their child’s
profile at any time. If you believe we have collected information from your
child in error or have questions or concerns about our practices relating to
children, please contact us as described be-low. If you are under the age of 18,
you must have your parent’s permission to access the Ser-vices. McAfee urges
parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names,
address-es, or phone numbers, without parental permission. If you learn that
your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, you may
alert us by contacting us as described below. If we learn that we have collected
any Personal Data from children under 13 (and in certain jurisdic-tions under
the age of 16), we will promptly take steps to delete such information and
terminate the child’s account. Data Transfers McAfee is headquartered in the
United States (see Contact Us for addresses), and we have operations, entities,
and service providers in the United States and throughout the world. As such, we
and our service providers may transfer your Personal Data to, or store or access
it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection
as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data
receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we
process it.
