- Information We Collect
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is information that can be directly associated with an individual (such as name, email address, or telephone number), or information about activities directly linked to an individual (such as products and services you have licensed or purchased). We collect PII from you in the following ways:
Information provided to us directly
You, or someone acting on your behalf, may provide PII to us when you interact with us online and offline. For example:
- We may gather such things as name, physical address, email address, and phone number when you contact or communicate with us;
- We may gather information such as the products and services you purchase, license, download or register, as well as financial information such as credit card numbers when you engage in transactions with us;
- We may gather user preferences, product interests, industry focus, community choices, and other customer profile information when you register for an online account, subscribe to a newsletter, participate in communities or an event, program, class or promotion, or click on a URL; or
- We may accept your CV when you apply for a job.
Information we collect through technology: Products and services
Certain products and services you license, purchase or download from Keeping Your Kids Safe may connect and transmit telemetry and system/product data to Keeping Your Kids Safe (or its authorized agents). This data may include, but is not limited to, system model, operating system, host ID, and IP address.
We use this information to tell you when updates and new product versions are available, provide agreed upon diagnostic, monitoring and management services, as well as enhance our products and services, and better communicate with you.
Information we collect through technology: Online web technologies
When you are on Keeping Your Kids Safe’s online network, we collect information about the pages you visit. Some web pages use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to automatically collect information from you. When you visit a Keeping Your Kids Safe web site, we may send one or more cookies (small text files containing a string of characters) to your computer to uniquely identify your browser. We may use “web beacons” (electronic images also known as pixel tags or clear gifs) to recognize a Keeping Your Kids Safe cookie on your computer when you view or act upon a Keeping Your Kids Safe web page, an advertisement that we’ve placed on a third-party web page or an email we’ve sent.
These cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies enable us to collect certain types of information about your visit to Keeping Your Kids Safe’s websites such as:
- Internet Protocol Address;
- Browser type;
- Operating system;
- Referring site (the site you visited before coming to our site);
- Date and time of visit;
- URL of pages visited; and
- Other browsing behavior, such as products and white papers downloaded.
- We may link this information to PII to provide better service to you and to improve Keeping Your Kids Safe’s product and service offerings.
- Most browsers allow you to remove and block cookies and web beacons. Please note that if you choose to erase or block cookies, you will need to re-enter your user ID and password to access certain parts of Keeping Your Kids Safe’s websites. You may also notice that you will be served only generic information not tailored to your specific interests.
- In addition, if you block cookies, you may not be able to use certain Keeping Your Kids Safe website features or take full advantage of our offerings.
Information from other sources
We sometimes obtain information from other sources, such as mergers and acquisitions or commercial lists, and merge it with information we have previously collected.
If you give us PII on behalf of someone else (or someone else gives us PII on your behalf), the person providing the PII must have consent to do so from the person whose information is being provided to Keeping Your Kids Safe.
Some Keeping Your Kids Safe events, websites or services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you provide PII in these cases, both Keeping Your Kids Safe and the other company(ies) may receive the information collected and use the information according to each company’s privacy policy and agreement with you.

Keeping Your Kids Safe provides notice about its use of PII in this Policy, on our web pages, and in other locations where we collect information. You can choose whether or not to provide your PII to us. If you choose not to provide PII, you can continue to interact with Keeping Your Kids Safe, but you may not be able to take advantage of certain offers, options, events, and services that depend upon accurate PII.
You can update your marketing communications preferences by logging into your Keeping Your Kids Safe Online Account or by following the unsubscribe instructions you have received in a marketing email. Please note that transactional, relationship and legally required communications will not be affected by the choices you have made about marketing communications.
- Onward Transfer
We will only share personal information with third parties if those third parties provide an adequate level of data protection to help ensure the security of personal data, such as by agreeing to abide by the Safe Harbor principles.
- Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the PII we have collected from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. In addition, we use standard security protocols and mechanisms to transmit sensitive data such as credit card details.
If you have a password, help protect any PII accessible through it by keeping your password confidential. If you share a computer, especially a public computer, terminate your internet session by logging out and closing the browser to guard against subsequent users having access to your information.
- Access and Accuracy
We want to maintain the accuracy of your contact information. If you need to update or correct it, please do so by logging into your Keeping Your Kids Safe account.

We provide individuals with reasonable access to their PII in order to have it corrected, amended or deleted where it is inaccurate or inappropriate for the specified purposes of processing.
- Children’s Privacy
Keeping Your Kids Safe’s websites and marketing are not directed to children less than 13 years of age. If that policy changes, we will obtain consent from a parent or guardian before we collect PII from anyone under the age of 13.
