We use the personal data that we collect from and about you only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your information. 

Laws in certain locations where we operate require that we disclose our legal basis for processing your personal data, which includes the following bases depending on which service you use:

• Contract – we require certain personal data to provide and support the Services you purchase or request from us

• Consent – in certain circumstances, we may ask for your consent before we will collect, use, or disclose your personal data, in which case you can voluntarily choose to give or deny your consent without negative consequences to you

• Legitimate Interests – we may use or disclose your personal data for the legitimate business interests of either bg网址 or a third party, but only when we’re confident that your privacy rights will remain appropriately protected

• Legal Obligation – there may be instances where we must process and retain your information to comply with laws or to fulfill certain legal obligations

• Vital Interests – there may be circumstances where we will process your information to protect your vital interests or those of another person

If we rely on our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests to collect and use your personal data, these interests will normally be to operate and provide our Services, communicate with you and respond to your questions, improve our Services or use the insights to improve or develop new services, market or promote either our Services or the services of a third-party that are closely partnered with our Services, or to detect or prevent illegal activities.

The following table provides more details on our purposes for processing your personal data and the related legal bases.

We may disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients to the extent permitted by applicable law:

• bg网址 group companies.  We share information across the bg网址 group companies to help us operate our business and Services or for their own purposes, such as to provide their services directly to you.  These entities are located in various countries around the world.  Information on the countries in which these entities may be located can be found here.  If a group company uses your information for its own purposes, those entities are ‘controllers’ (or a similar-meaning term) of your personal data. We sometimes may share information with group companies in an aggregated and anonymized format and in those cases, you will not be identified through the information that is disclosed.  Generally, all categories of the personal data that we process will be accessible to bg网址, Inc.

• Third-party service providers.  We use third-party vendors to perform services on our behalf.  These vendors provide business, professional, payment processing, marketing and advertising, analytics and measurement, and technical and hosting support to us, help us operate our business, Services, and Websites, and administer activities in support of our business and the Services on our behalf.  These vendors range from consulting services provided by groups and individuals, large technology platform and cloud hosting providers like Amazon Web Services, Salesforce, SAP, and others, and other third-party technology application providers.  These vendors are not permitted by us to use or share your personal data for either their own or another third party’s commercial purposes. Categories of personal data shared: identifiers, contact details, personal records, commercial information, internet or other electronic activity, professional or employment-related information, geolocation data, sensory information, and profile inferences.

• Credit agencies or bureaus.  We engage with credit agencies or bureaus to carry out credit checks so that we can make credit and solvency decisions when you request the Services. Categories of personal data shared: identifiers and personal records.

• Authorized retailers and distributors. We engage with select retailers that can help you select the best Service plan for you and support installation. Categories of personal data shared: identifiers and contact details.  You can search for our authorized retailers here.

• Third-party ad platforms or networks.  We may also share personal data with advertising platforms or networks or permit these partners to collect information from you directly on the Websites to facilitate online advertising for bg网址 services, such as search engines and social network advertising providers to serve ads for our Services to you or to groups of other users similar to you based on commercial interests and demographics, on third-party platforms or other websites you visit. For more information, including how to opt out of targeted online advertising, please visit the “Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies” section of this Privacy Notice. Categories of personal data shared: identifiers.

• Entities involved in corporate transaction.  We may sell or purchase assets during the normal course of our business.  In connection with these transactions, we may disclose your personal data or transfer this information to another entity as part of a potential or actual acquisition or merger of bg网址 or any portion of our assets. If we bring or are defending a reorganization, bankruptcy, or similar event, your personal data may be considered our asset and sold or transferred to third parties. Categories of personal data shared: all personal data maintained by bg网址, including identifiers, contact details, and personal records.

• Law enforcement, governmental, judicial and related entities.  We may share your information to protect the security of our Services, network, and IT systems and applications, and business and in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, interference with our rights, property or users, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you or us to legal liability, including as required or requested by outside auditors or advisors, law enforcement or other government officials.  We also may share your information with third parties when we have reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with our rights, property, operations, users, or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage. We may share your information when we believe that it is necessary to protect our rights, investigate, or enforce our policies, terms, or other legal document or contract, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on bg网址.  Categories of personal data shared: identifiers, commercial information, or Geolocation data.

• Other persons with your consent to the disclosure.

• Third parties who receive aggregate or anonymous information. We may share aggregate or anonymous information with third parties, including our business partners, for their business, marketing, or analytics uses. When we do, we take steps to ensure that this information cannot be used to identify you.

Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside.  These countries may have data protection laws that are different than the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

The servers that operate or process personal data related to our Services are primarily located in the 美国, though personal data also may be transferred to India, Israel, and the countries in which our business is established or our Services are available, and potentially other countries (including our U.S. and international locations here).  Our group companies and third-party service providers and partners operate around the world.  This means that when we collect your personal data, we or our service providers may process it in any of these countries depending on the Service.

We take appropriate safeguards to help ensure that your personal data remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These include, for example, implementing the UK and European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal data between our group companies, which require all group companies to protect personal data that they process from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK in accordance with data protection laws in those areas.  Where appropriate, we also put in place additional safeguards to protect your personal data when it is transferred to countries considered to be less protective.

Information on the Standard Contractual Clauses we have in place between our bg网址 group companies can be provided on request.  We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners.
