We are CybSafe. Our address is  5 New St Square, London EC4A 3TW, United Kingdom. We have a designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) who may be contacted directly at dpo@cybsafe.com regarding any data protection and privacy matters.

You will be referred in this Privacy Notice to as a Data Subject and the information about you is known as Personal Data. For the purposes of privacy laws, we are the processor of personal data unless expressly specified otherwise. We believe everybody deserves to live in a safe and secure digital world. So we’re here to radically transform the human aspect of cyber security. This is our mission. We take data protection seriously and follow the law and industry best practices to keep your personal data secure. As a data subject you have certain rights in relation to data privacy.

Specifically, you have the right to:

  • request information about the personal data that is processed by us, 
  • rectification of inaccurate personal data records,
  • demand deletion or restriction of processing, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest under certain circumstances,
  • revoke any consent to processing that has been given by the user to us, 
  • data portability, which means a right to get the personal data and transfer these to another controller as long as this does not negatively affect the rights and freedoms of others; and
  • lodge a complaint to the supervisory authority regarding the processing of personal data relating to him or her, if a  user considers that the processing of personal data infringes the legal framework of privacy law. A full list of EU regulators is available here, and the contact details of the UK regulator, the ICO, is here.

We will only transfer personal data to third parties that we have confidence in. We carefully choose them to ensure that the personal data is processed in accordance with current privacy legislation.

To obtain documentation regarding such adequate safeguards, please email dpo@cybsafe.com (for info, our EU representative is info@priviness.eu)

We will not sell personal data to third parties.

Data that is processed with the purpose of aggregated analysis or market research is always made unidentifiable. Such personal data cannot be used to identify an individual. Therefore, such data is not considered personal data.
