5. DEDUCE’S LEGAL BASIS FOR THE COLLECTION, USE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL DATA?

The laws in many jurisdictions, particularly in the EU, require data controllers, such as Deduce, to inform you about the legal grounds that allow them to use or disclose your personal data. To the extent any such laws apply to Deduce’s handling, use or sharing of personal data, Deduce’s lawful basis of processing is as follows:

  •  Legitimate interests: We handle personal data because it furthers the legitimate interests of Deduce, its customers, business partners, and its third party vendors in business activities such as the ones listed below:
    • Fraud prevention and detection
    • By allowing us to enhance our customers’ cybersecurity and the cybersecurity of their online properties and other information technology assets
    • To protect our customers, their business activities and/or their customers 
    • Providing customer service, namely collecting the data, analyzing it, and providing risk scores and related data to our customers to assist them with protecting the security of their online properties. Depending on the customer, this processing is also justified by its necessity for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (i.e., cybersecurity, including the protection of personal data).    
    • To improve our promotional and marketing initiatives 
    • To analyze trends and conduct research about improving Deduce’s services and products 
    • Identifying business and legal risks and conducting assessments of the same

We do not believe that our handling of data unduly impact your interests, rights, and freedoms.

    • Contractual Obligations: In many instances, our handling of personal data is necessary to meet our contractual obligations, or because we are planning to enter into a contract.  
    • Consent: When required by law, we will seek and obtain your consent. On other occasions, we may obtain your consent even when not required by law. For example, you may provide us with consent on our website to contact you for the purpose of providing more marketing information about our products and services or for other direct marketing. Sometimes, even if we do not seek your explicit consent, it may be permissible under the law for Deduce to infer your consent from the circumstances. Additionally if you have a contractual or business relationship with one of our customers, our customer may obtain your consent for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy.
    • Legal compliance: Disclosure and use of personal data may be required to ensure our compliance with our legal obligations under applicable laws.
  • Legal claims: Disclosure and use of personal data may be required to investigate claims (including claims of fraud), and/or legal actions, violations of law or agreements, including this Privacy Policy.

We use third-party analytics services to support our products and services and on our websites, including Google Analytics. These analytics service providers use cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use our products, services and websites, compile reports about activity concerning our products, services and websites, and provide us other services. The technologies may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, any referring website, and other information.

Some content, applications, and advertisements on our websites or displayed during our services may be served by unaffiliated third parties.

Many of the third-party advertisers that place tracking tools on our websites or through a service that we are offering are members of programs that offer you additional choices regarding the use of information about you for advertising.
