Cybersecurityratings.com ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our platform, or engage with our consulting services. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our services.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly: When you register for an account, request an assessment, fill out a form, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, billing information, and any other information you voluntarily provide.

Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. This data is collected via cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies.

3. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our platform, processing payments, hosting data, and delivering services (e.g., cloud infrastructure, email delivery, analytics). These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Business Transfers: If we are acquired by or merged with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, ensure website security, or prevent harm.
  • With Your Consent: We may share information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.

Publicly available security rating data about organizations (not tied to individual personal information) may be displayed in our database or shared with third parties per our Terms of Service.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Account data is retained while your account is active and for a period of up to 3 years after account closure. Billing records are retained for a minimum of 7 years per financial regulatory requirements. Data used for analytics is anonymized and aggregated after 26 months.

When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include TLS/SSL encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, multi-factor authentication for platform access, regular security audits and penetration testing, role-based access controls, and employee security awareness training.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about a security breach, contact us immediately at [email protected].
