If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us at: dpo@cybersixgill.com.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

Summary: We collect personal data about our customers’ and partners’ representatives who are contact persons or otherwise users of our Services. We also receive your queries on our Services, which may include PII. We use such PII in order to provide the Services, improve our solutions and services and enforce our agreement.

We also collect PII from various sources in the clear-web, deep-web and dark-web and sometimes purchase compromised PII on behalf of data controllers. We use such PII for purposes such as, assisting our customers and partners to mitigate or prevent security breaches, assisting law enforcement or other government agencies in investigation or indictment of suspected cyber-criminals and in cyber-security research and fulfillment of other similar legitimate interests.

In order to provide and operate our Services and provide services in connection therewith, we collect and process PII, including the following types of information: 

  • Your Contact Information

When you subscribe to use the Services we ask you to provide PII, including: Full name, email address, phone number and the organization for whom you work. 

  • Usage Information

When you use the Services, we automatically receive and record information from your browser and information related to such usage for analysis of your usage for improving our solutions and services, including without limitation information and statistics about your online/offline status, your  IP address, device identifiers, internet service provider, connection speed, search history, type of browser, your regional and language settings and software and hardware attributes. Our systems automatically record and store technical information regarding the method and nature of your use of the Services, including without limitation your search queries, meta-data of search queries, which pages of the Services you viewed, exit and entrance pages and your use time of the Services. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your browser on a network, or in this case, the Internet. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information. The Company uses all of the PII identified in this Section in order to understand the usage trends and preferences of our users, including recent visits to our Services and how you move around different sections of our Services for analytics purposes and in order to make our Services more intuitive. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

3. Data From Third Parties

We collect information from the clear-web, dark-web and deep-web and some-times also purchase compromised data on behalf of data controllers, which often includes also PII, in order to assist our customers and partners to mitigate, prevent and remediate cyber security risks and security breaches. We do that by, inter alia: (i) identifying data that may have been breached or leaked online (which often includes PII); (ii) tracking vulnerabilities and exploits targeting our customers; (iii) enabling organizations to remediate compromised credentials; and (iv) assisting organizations in researching security threats. We may also use such PII in order to comply with legal or ethical obligations or with any order of a court or competent authority.

16. Legal Basis and Consent To Processing

The Company is a controller of the PII it processes in connection with management of its engagements with its customers and partners (e.g. contact personnel data, email communications and usage metrics). Company is a joint controller, together with its customers and partners, of PII made available by Company to such customers and partners, from Company’s data-lake (e.g. cyber threat intelligence).  When Company processes PII on behalf of its customers (e.g. the customer submits a search query to Company’s solutions or Company acquires compromised data pursuant to a specific request from a data controller), Company is a processor of such PII, to the extent applicable, and Company’s customer or Company’s partner’s customer, as the case may be, will be the data controller, and will be responsible to establish the lawful basis for processing and to ensure that data subjects can exercise their rights set forth under applicable privacy law.

For users of our Services: by providing any PII to us pursuant to this Privacy Policy, all users, including, without limitation, users in the United States, Israel and member states of the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to this Privacy Policy and to the collection and processing of such PII abroad. By submitting your PII through the Services, you consent, acknowledge, and agree that we will collect, use, transfer, and disclose your PII as described in this Privacy Policy.

  • When Company processes PII on behalf of its customers (e.g. Company acquires compromised data on behalf of a controller or Company processes search queries of customers or partners), Company is a data processor. In such case, Company’s customer will be a data controller, and will be responsible to obtain the data subjects’ consent or establish any other applicable lawful basis for processing, and we rely on our contractual relationship with the controller (i.e. our customer or partner). 

  • In respect of PII included in Company’s data-lake (e.g. cyber threat intelligence) we rely on a legitimate interest when collecting and retaining such PII, which is to provide cyber threat intelligence services, assist to prevent or investigate crimes or fraud and assist to protect confidential or personal information and in some cases we rely on basis that processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (e.g. assistance to the European Union or a Member State or a third party authorized by them). Our customers and partners who search for such PII on our Services are deemed as data controllers as well and are required by us to collect and process such PII only based on a legal justification for processing.

We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of PII that cannot be resolved between Sixgill and an individual.

  • Changes to This Privacy Policy. Sixgill may update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat PII by placing a prominent notice on the Website. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy for the latest information about our privacy practices. 

  • Legal Justification and Consent To Processing. 

    • For users of our Website where consent is required under applicable laws: by providing any PII to us pursuant to this Privacy Policy, all users fully understand and unambiguously consent, at their volition, to this Privacy Policy and to the collection and processing of such PII abroad. By submitting your PII through the Services, you consent, acknowledge, and agree that we will collect, use, transfer, and disclose your PII as described in this Privacy Policy.

    • Where PII is processed under the GDPR, we rely on a legitimate interest when collecting and retaining such PII and if a user became a customer of Sixgill or enters into any other engagement with Sixgill (e.g. employees), then we also rely on a contractual relationship when collecting and retaining such PII. Our legitimate interests are to manage and operate the Website, improve the Website, ensure the security of the Website and undertake marketing activities on the Website.

  • Consent to Processing. By providing any PII to us pursuant to this Privacy Policy, all users, including, without limitation, users in the United States, UK, Israel and member states of the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to this Privacy Policy and to the collection, usage, and/or processing of such PII abroad. The server on which the Website is hosted and/or through which the Website is processed may be outside the country from which you access the Website and may be outside your country of residence. Some of the uses and disclosures mentioned in this Privacy Policy may involve the transfer of your PII to various countries around the world that may have different levels of privacy protection than your country and may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). If there is a transfer of your PII outside the EEA we will, in the absence of an EC Adequacy decision relevant to the destination country or to the transfer, seek to rely on appropriate safeguards such as appropriate EC approved standard contractual clauses (see http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/transfer/index_en.htm) or other measures. By submitting your PII through the Website, you consent, acknowledge, and agree that we may collect, use, transfer, and disclose your PII as described in this Privacy Policy. 

  • Do Not Track Notices. “Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services.  You are also advised that Sixgill does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers.

  • Questions. You may contact our DPO here: dpo@cybersixgill.com.
