Huntress Labs Incorporated Privacy Policy
Here at Huntress Labs Incorporated, we take your privacy very seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are, and how and why we collect, store, use, and share your personal data. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data and how to contact us in the event you have a complaint.
This Privacy Policy describes the manner in which Huntress Labs Incorporated and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “Huntress”, “Company,” “we” or “us” or “our”) collect, use, maintain, and disclose information from users of our products and services (e.g., Huntress Platform or Huntress Security Awareness Training available at www.huntress.io and Curricula www.mycurricula.com, and any subdomains, services, and information available thereon (together with associated and successor websites, services, and information available thereon, or any part thereof, the “Services”)). “You” and “Your” and “Customer” means the individual accessing or using our Services, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using our Services, as applicable.
We process personal data on behalf of and under the instruction of our respective business customers, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and, if applicable, our Data Processing Addendum, available at www.huntress.com/legal. Our Services are designed for business customers and their representatives. We do not offer products or services for use by individuals for their personal, family or household purposes. Accordingly, we treat all personal data we collect as pertaining to individuals in their capacities as representatives of the relevant enterprise and not their individual capacities. With respect to such personal data, (1) Huntress is a data processor or subprocessor under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) and Swiss Data Protection Act (“European Data Protection Laws”) and a service provider under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and (2) our business customers are the data controllers under European Data Protection Laws. This Privacy Policy describes how Huntress processes personal data as a data processor/subprocessor for the purpose of providing the Services to our customers pursuant to the applicable terms of service with those customers. As data controllers, Huntress’ customers are responsible for disclosing the rights of individuals with respect to their personal data and other information regarding the collection and use of that personal data, in accordance with the European Data Protection Laws, CCPA, and other laws requiring such disclosures.
This Privacy Policy does not relate to our non-Services websites (e.g., www.huntress.com, www.curricula.com), general marketing activities, or cases where Huntress is a data controller. For our Privacy Policy for those activities, and to see our cookie policy, see www.huntress.com/privacy-policy.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data for promotional purposes (see above “How and Why We Use Your Personal Data”).

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further products and services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell it to other organizations outside the Huntress Labs Incorporated and subsidiaries group for marketing purposes.
How and Why We Use Your Personal Data—To Create Anonymous, Aggregated, or De-Identified Data
Huntress may create anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data from your personal data and other individuals whose personal data we collect. We make personal data into anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data by removing or not utilizing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to provide the Service, analyze and improve the Service, analyze and report on security risks, and promote our business. For example, in order to promote awareness, detection, and prevention of Internet security risks, Huntress may create and share anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified information (related to, e.g., potential or actual security incidents, malware, security threat data, diagnostic and usage related data, contextual data, threat detections, and indicators of compromise) with research organizations and other security software vendors and professionals via publications, blog posts, or social media, and provided no Customer identifying information is shared without written permission of Customer. Huntress may also make use of statistics derived from the information processed to track and publish reports on security risk trends.

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal data if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal data. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal data to provide services to us and to you.

Where Is Your Personal Data Held

Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country, and in some cases, may not be as protective. Specifically, our servers, service providers, and subprocessors are primarily located in the U.S., and we may process your information in jurisdictions where our affiliates/partners and service providers / subprocessors are located. See our Subprocessor List for details. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These safeguards include ensuring we have data protection agreements between us and our service providers and subprocessors to whom we transfer the personal data, which require these companies to protect personal data they process from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland in accordance with applicable data protection law. Huntress offers a Data Processing Addendum with European Commission approved standard contractual clauses, to meet the adequacy and security requirements for our customers that operate in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, and other international transfers of personal data.

This section provides additional details about the personal data, or “personal information,” we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA,” as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act or “CPRA”.
California law requires that we detail the categories of personal information that we collect and disclose for certain “business purposes,” such as to service providers that assist us with securing our services or marketing our products, and to such other entities as described in earlier sections of Privacy Policy. In addition to the information provided above in the “Personal Data We Collect About You” section, we may collect the following categories of personal information from you, your employer, data analytics providers, and third-party services providers for our business purposes:

We may also share personal information (in the form of identifiers and internet activity information) with third party advertisers for purposes of targeting advertisements on non-Huntress websites, applications, and services.

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect (including how we use, disclose, or may sell this information), to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales”, to know and opt out of sharing of personal information for delivering advertisements on non-Huntress websites, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
