Our website is located at deepguard.io. If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you may contact us at legal@deepguard.io.

We collect information you provide directly to us and information collected automatically when you use our website.

Information you provide: When you submit a contact form, request a quote, or sign up for our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include in your message. We do not collect payment information directly through this website.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we may collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through standard web server logs and, where applicable, analytics tools.

We do not use tracking pixels, third-party advertising cookies, or fingerprinting technologies. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties under any circumstances.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to enquiries and quote requests submitted through our contact forms. To send our security intelligence newsletter to subscribers who have opted in. To maintain records of client engagements and communications where a service relationship exists. To understand how our website is used so that we can improve it. To comply with applicable legal obligations.

We will not send you marketing communications unless you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing your personal data is as follows: where you have submitted a contact form or quote request, processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract. Where you have subscribed to our newsletter, processing is based on your consent. Where we process data for website analytics, processing is based on our legitimate interests in understanding how our website performs, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Our website uses only essential cookies required for the website to function correctly. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies without your explicit consent. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of certain features of the website.

Our website, and in particular our security intelligence blog, contains hyperlinks to third-party websites including news publications, blockchain explorers, and code repositories. These links are provided for informational and reference purposes only. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those websites and accept no responsibility for them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Contact and quote request data is retained for a period of up to three years following our last communication, after which it is securely deleted. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to object to or restrict our processing of your data, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at legal@deepguard.io. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at legal@deepguard.io.
