Last Revised: November 11, 2024
At PortSecure Cybersecurity (“we,” “us,” “our”), we respect the privacy of our users (“User(s)” or “you”) and are committed to protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information via our website www.portsecurecyber.com (the “Site”) and through our proprietary cybersecurity solutions for the maritime industry (the “Platform”), collectively referred to as our “Services.” By using our Site or Services, you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Definitions
For clarity in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” refers to data that directly or indirectly identifies an individual or household, such as a name, identification number, or IP address. “Sensitive Personal Information” includes data like racial or ethnic origin, health data, biometric information, and other sensitive attributes. “Data Controller” refers to a person or entity that determines the purpose and means of data processing, while “Data Processor” handles data on behalf of a Data Controller. Throughout this document, “Affiliate” describes entities that control or are controlled by PortSecure Cybersecurity.
2. Who We Are and Information We Collect
PortSecure Cybersecurity specializes in cybersecurity solutions for the maritime industry. To support our operations and enhance our Services, we collect both personal and non-personal information. Information you provide directly includes details like your name, email, phone number, company affiliation, and job title when you contact us, subscribe to updates, or attend our events. We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as analytics providers. When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain data, such as IP address, browser type, and access times, often through cookies and similar technologies.
3. How and Why We Use Your Information
We use the information collected for several purposes: to operate, support, and enhance our Services; manage user accounts; process transactions; and respond to inquiries. We may use information to analyze trends, improve security, conduct troubleshooting, and perform market analysis. Information may also be used to communicate with you about updates and marketing materials, with your consent. Additionally, if you are a job applicant, we will use your information only for recruiting and hiring purposes. In specific circumstances, we process information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We only share your personal information with third parties when necessary. For instance, we may share data with trusted third-party service providers that assist with our Site and Services, such as hosting, analytics, and marketing. Affiliates of PortSecure Cybersecurity may also access your information for internal purposes. We may disclose data to comply with legal requests or obligations, such as court orders or regulatory requirements, or if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale. Rest assured, we do not sell or lease your personal information to third parties for monetary gain.
5. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. To protect your data, we implement industry-standard security measures, including access controls, encryption, and secure data storage. While we work hard to protect your information, no online transmission or storage is entirely secure, so we encourage you to take measures like securing your account credentials and avoiding sharing sensitive information unnecessarily.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, or transfer of your data, or to restrict or object to certain processing activities. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, contact us at [Insert Contact Email]. To process your request, we may need to verify your identity and gather additional details to ensure accuracy.
7. International Data Transfers
PortSecure Cybersecurity operates globally, which means your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction, including countries with different data protection laws. By using our Services, you consent to these transfers and acknowledge that your data may be subject to local laws in these locations. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we transfer data in line with EU regulations and provide appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy rights.
8. Information for Residents of the United States and Canada
California residents have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to access, delete, or understand how their information is collected and shared.
