4. Data Retention

Our retention periods for personal information are based on business needs and legal requirements. We retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected. When personal information is no longer needed, we either anonymize the personal information (and we may further retain and use the anonymized information) or securely destroy the personal information.

Cipher Group shares your personal information globally with the companies within its corporate group to for purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. Cipher Group may also subcontract the processing or sharing of your personal information to third parties located outside your country. When you use our website, we may transfer, store and process your personal information within and outside of your country of residence, consistent with this Privacy Policy. The processing of your personal information may, therefore, be also subject to laws other than the ones from your country.

However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to overcome those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. If we become aware of any security incident, we will act in a timely manner in accordance with applicable laws.

6. Third Party Links

Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

7. Your Rights

Applicable data protection laws may give you a number of legal rights in relation to your personal information that we hold about you. Not all data protection laws are the same so not all of these rights apply in all places, and these rights are not absolute even where they are recognized under local law. However, you may have the following rights in accordance with applicable laws:

• Right to access to the personal information that we process about you and certain information about our processing practices.
• Right to rectify or correct your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to request that we erase or delete your personal information in certain circumstances. But this is a limited right as we may be able to retain certain personal information subject to an exception under applicable laws. Once we receive, verify and confirm your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
• Right to object to or restrict our processing of personal information about you under certain circumstances. There may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict our processing of your personal information but we are legally entitled to continue processing your personal information and/or to refuse that request.
• Right to lodge a complaint about our processing activities carried out by us before the competent authorities.
• Right receive a copy of certain personal information we process about you.

9. Use of Cookies

We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect data about visits to and interactions with our e-mails and to allow us to keep track of analytics and certain statistical information. Please consult our Cookie Policy for more information.

10. Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, our website currently does not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

11. Contact Us

If you have any unresolved privacy concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily in this Privacy Policy or any questions, comments on this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise any of your rights described in this Privacy Policy, please contact us at: Business@Cipher techgroup.com.

12. Your California Privacy Rights

While we have tried to fully describe our data practices elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, this section supplements the description of our information collection and sharing practices elsewhere in this Policy to provide certain disclosures to certain California residents whose personal information Cipher Group processes pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

During the preceding 12 months, Cipher Group has collected, used, and shared the categories of personal information described in the section of our Privacy Policy entitled, “Information We Collect.” For example, depending on how you use our website, this may include your identifiers (e.g., your IP addresses contact information), commercial information, Internet and other electronic activity information as well as inferences we draw from the other information we collect.

Please see the “Your Rights” section above for information about your rights to request deletion of personal information and to access (or “know”) about the personal information that we collect, use, and disclose. Your or your authorized agent may exercise your California rights by sending us an email to Business@Ciphertechroup.com. We will not charge you different prices or provide different quality of services unless those differences are related to your information or otherwise permitted by law. Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity, including by asking you to verify information about your use of the Service. If you would like to use an agent registered with the California Secretary of State to exercise your rights, we may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.
