This Privacy Policy describes how SecureAuth collects, uses, and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.

Application of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to SecureAuth (we, us, our) products Authenticate, Arculix Mobile, Smart Log On, cloud platforms, and support services (collectively, the Services), http://secureauth.com and our other websites (collectively, the Websites), and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user communities, user conferences, etc.) you may have with us. This Privacy Policy applies in conjunction with our Data Privacy Framework Statement: https://www.secureauth.com/dpf-statement. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy or the Data Privacy Framework Statement, do not access, or use the Services, Websites, or any other aspect of our business.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Services through our platforms (Third-Party Services), or any other third-party products, services, or businesses. In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access, and use of the Services (the Customer Agreement), including the processing of any content submitted through Services accounts (collectively, Customer Data). The organization (e.g., your employer or another entity or person) that entered into the Customer Agreement (Customer) controls their instance of the Services and any associated Customer Data.

What Information We Collect

We may ask you to register and provide information when you register as a visitor to our Websites, purchase Services or place orders, register to access an online demonstration or respond to a marketing campaign. We may also receive your information if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity, or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with us.

We may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (Other Information) in a variety of ways:

Customer Data. Customers or individuals granted access to our Services by a Customer (Authorized Users) routinely submit Customer Data to us when using the Services.
Other Information. We also collect, generate and/or receive Other Information:
- Account Information. To create or update a Service or Customer account, you, or your Customer (e.g., your employer) supply us with an email address, phone number, password, domain and/or similar account details. In addition, Customers that purchase a paid version of the Services provide us with billing details such as credit card information, banking information and/or a billing address.
- Usage Information.
  - Services Metadata. When an Authorized User interacts with the Services, metadata may be generated that provides additional context about the way Authorized Users work.
  - Log data. As with most websites and technology services delivered over the Internet, our servers automatically collect information when you access or use our Websites or some of our Services and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited before using the Website or Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
  - Device information. We collect information about devices accessing the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this Other Information often depends on the type of device used and its settings and the Services being used.
  - Location information. We receive information from you, your Customer and other third parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. We may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device.
- Cookie Information. We use cookies and similar technologies in our Websites and Services that help us collect Other Information. The Websites and Services may also include cookies and similar tracking technologies of third parties, which may collect Other Information about you via the Websites and Services and across other websites and online services. For more details about how we use these technologies, please see below.
- Third-Party Services. Customer can choose to permit or restrict Third-Party Services for their Services. Typically, Third-Party Services are software that integrate with our Services, and Customer can permit its Authorized Users to enable and disable these integrations for their accounts. Once enabled, the provider of a Third-Party Service may share certain information with us. Authorized Users should check the privacy settings and notices in these Third-Party Services to understand what data may be disclosed to us. When a Third-Party Service is enabled, we are authorized to connect, and access Other Information made available to us in accordance with our agreement with the Third-Party Provider. We do not, however, receive or store passwords for any of these Third-Party Services when connecting them to the Services.
- Third-Party Data. We may receive data about organizations, industries, Website visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from parent corporation(s), affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners, or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries. Or it might be more specific: for example, how well an online marketing or email campaign performed.
- Additional Information Provided to Us. We receive Other Information when submitted to our websites or if you participate in a focus group, contest, activity, or event, apply for a job, request support, interact with our social media accounts or otherwise communicate with us.

Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively, Information). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information, such as account setup details, is not provided, we may be unable to provide the Services.

How We Use the Collected Information

Customer Data will be used by us in accordance with Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. We are a processor of Customer Data and Customer is the controller. Customer may, for example, use the Services to grant and remove access to an account, assign roles and configure settings, access, modify, export, share and remove Customer Data and otherwise apply its policies to the Services.

We use Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating our Services, Websites and business. More specifically, we use Other Information:

This includes use of Other Information to support delivery of the Services under a Customer Agreement, prevent or address service errors, security, or technical issues, analyze and monitor usage, trends, and other activities or at an Authorized User’s request.
As required by applicable law, legal process, or regulation.
To communicate with you by responding to your requests, comments, and questions. If you contact us, we may use your Other Information to respond.

To send emails and other communications. We may send you service, technical and other administrative emails, messages, and other types of communications. We may also contact you to inform you about changes in our Services, our Services offerings, and important Services-related notices, such as security notices. These communications are considered part of the Services and you may not opt out of them. In addition, we sometimes send emails about new product features, promotional communications, or other news about our company. These are marketing messages, so you can control whether you receive them.
For billing, account management and other administrative matters. We may need to contact you for invoicing, account management and similar reasons and we use account data to administer accounts and keep track of billing and payments.
To investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.

If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, we may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as Personal Data. Contact the Customer if you wish to request the removal of Personal Data under their control.

Data Retention

We will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Services functionality, and as required by applicable law. Depending on the Services, Customer may be able to customize its retention settings and apply those customized settings at the account level.
