This Privacy Policy identifies the privacy practices of Farsight Security, Inc. (“Farsight”) with respect to our website (“Site”) and subscription services (“Service”). This includes the information collected or obtained by us, including information that can be used to identify you or others personally (“Personal Information”), through your access or use of the Site or Service as a visitor, customer of Farsight or contributor of data for the Service.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Site or Service you acknowledge and consent to our Privacy Policy.
During your visit to the Site, you may be requested to voluntarily provide certain Personal Information. You may refrain from submitting such Personal Information; however, failure to provide such Personal Information may prevent you from acquiring a subscription to the Service, receiving certain information or materials, receiving sales support or technical support, or engaging in other Site related activities. When you apply for a subscription to the Service, contact Farsight for information or materials, sales support or technical support, or seek to become a contributor of data for the Service, we may collect certain Personal Information, which may include your name, company name, mailing address, email address, phone number, payment information (including credit card information) and other information personal to you or your business.
Farsight has designed and deployed a sensor array for its Service that deliberately avoids capturing any Personal Information, including the identity of end users or the domain name system (DNS) lookup transactions caused by end users’ actions. The passive DNS sensors only listen to the cache miss resolution transactions between recursive name servers and internet-bound authoritative name servers, and specifically not between end user stub resolvers and recursive name servers. Therefore, the Service does not provide customers or potential customers with, and the data that you have agreed to contribute through the Farsight sensor array for the Service will not contain, any Personal Information.
Like most websites and many other service providers, we use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your access and use of the Site and Service. Cookies are small text files stored on your browser when you use websites and applications. You can control how websites use cookies by configuring the privacy settings within your browser. We honor ‘do not track signals’ and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. However, if you disable cookies entirely, the Site and/or the Service may not function properly.
We do not allow third party behavioral tracking.
We maintain reasonable data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your Personal Information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on the Site or Service. All data exchanged between the Service and Farsight customers will happen over an encrypted channel.
Please be aware, however, that no security controls are 100% effective and no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information is completely secure. Therefore, Farsight cannot, and does not, ensure, guarantee or warrant the security of any information, including your Personal Information.
We do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise transfer your Personal Information to outside parties. This does not exclude us from sharing the information with trusted third parties who assist us in the operation, performance, administration, marketing or distribution of this Site or the Service so long as these parties agree to keep this information confidential. Such parties are not permitted to use your Personal Information for their own purposes. We may also release your Personal Information when we believe release of such information is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property and safety.
We may share and publish aggregated information that does not specifically identify you and is not linked to any of your Personal Information, such as statistical information about visitors to the Site or statistical information about how customers access and use the Service.
Information that we collect or obtain from you, including Personal Information, is considered a business asset. If we merge with or are acquired by another company or sell the Site or Service, or if all or a substantial portion of our assets are acquired by another company, your information will likely be one of the assets that is transferred.
You may find content on the Site or Service that links to the websites or services of our partners, suppliers, licensors or other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these websites or services and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from our Site or Service. In addition, these websites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website or service, including websites or services which have a link to the Site, is subject to that website's own terms and policies.
If you believe that we have recorded inaccurate Personal Information about you, or wish to delete certain Personal Information, please report this via e-mail to privacy@farsightsecurity.com. We will take steps to delete your information as soon as is practicable, but some information may remain in archived/backup copies for our records or as otherwise required by law. We may need to retain certain information about you for legal and internal business reasons, such as fraud prevention. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as it is necessary to provide you with the Site and Service that you are eligible to use with your Farsight ID and as needed to comply with our legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
The Site and Service are not directed to children under 13 years of age and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information of a child under the age of 13 we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in the applicable statutes) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement or any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
We will include detailed unsubscribe information at the bottom of each email or newsletter we send if you wish to unsubscribe from receiving future emails. Additionally, you may unsubscribe and stop receiving future emails from us by emailing Farsight at: privacy@farsightsecurity.com
Your Personal Information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide your Personal Information to us, we may transfer your Personal Information to the United States and process it there. Your use of any of the Service followed by your submission of any Personal Information represents your agreement to that transfer.
We may, at our sole discretion, update this privacy policy at any time. We encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes. Your further use of the Site or the Service will constitute your acknowledgement and agreement to the new current privacy policy.
