In such cases, we will only collect, and process personal data related to any child under 13 years of age that you choose to disclose to us or otherwise instruct us to collect and process. We also do not sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and you learn that your children under 13 have provided us with personal information, please contact us (see "How to Contact Us" below).

TRANSFERS OF YOUR INFORMATION

Personal information we collect may be stored and processed in your region, in Spain, in the United States or in any other country where we or our affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. We maintain primary data centers in the United States, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and Japan. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Policy is processed as described in this Policy and according to applicable law wherever the data is located.

We may transfer personal information from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland (collectively "Europe") to other countries that may not have the same level of data protection that applies in your jurisdiction. In these cases, we use a variety of legal mechanisms to ensure that the recipient of your personal information offers an adequate level of protection, including entering into the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of European data approved by the European Commission, or where required, we will ask you for your prior consent.

STORAGE AND RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different services, actual retention periods can vary significantly. We determine the appropriate retention period for personal information based on the amount, nature and sensitivity of your personal information processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your personal information will be deleted. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of that data.

For further information on applicable data retention periods, please contact us (see "How to Contact Us" below).

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

  • You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in EEA and UK are available here.

How to exercise your rights

If you are a Panda Security customer, job candidate, or prospect and you would like to exercise your rights (for which we reserve the right to charge you a fee, where permitted by applicable law), please email: panda.dpo@watchguard.com.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Our website recognizes the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt out. You can download a browser supporting the GPC browser signal at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, our website does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

Your preferences for email marketing

You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from Panda Security by following the instructions in those emails. If you would like to manage your contact preferences, you can do so here. If you choose to no longer receive marketing information, we may still communicate with you regarding such things as your security updates, product functionality, responses to service requests, or other transactional, non-marketing purposes.

You can also send requests about changes to your information or your contact preferences, including requests to opt-out of sharing your personal information with third parties, by emailing: panda.dpo@watchguard.com.

Your preferences for telemarketing communications

If you want your phone number to be added to our internal Do-Not-Call telemarketing register, please contact us (see "How to Contact Us" below). Please include your first name, last name, company, and the phone number you wish to add to our Do-Not-Call register.

Alternatively, you can always let us know during a telemarketing call that you do not want to be called again for marketing purposes.

Notice to the end users of our business customers

We often process personal information we collect or receive through our services in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of a business customer (or its affiliate) who is the responsible controller or business in regard to the personal information concerned. We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our business customers, resellers and distributors, which may differ from those set forth in this Policy.

If your data was submitted to us by or on behalf of a Panda Security business customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable business customer directly. If you wish to make your request to us, please provide the name of the Panda Security business customer who submitted your data to us. Since we may only access a customer's data upon instruction from that customer, we will refer your request to that business customer and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
