6. What Is CYGNVS’ Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data?

If the law requires us to have a legal reason for collecting and using your personal information, such as the European Union or United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (either, the “GDPR”), then the reason will depend on the type of information we collect and why we collect it. When you interact with CYGNVS as a representative of a Partner or End User, we use your personal information either because you gave us permission (where required by law) or because we need it to fulfill an agreement we have with you or your company.

When you fill out a form to ask about CYGNVS or the CYGNVS Platform, we use your personal information either with your permission (where required by law) or because it’s in our legitimate interest to respond to your request, communicate with you and send you information about the CYGNVS Platform (like via marketing calls or emails, depending on your preferences).

If you sign up for newsletters or events, request a demo, download resources or take part in surveys, we use your consent to send you more information about the CYGNVS Platform that we think might interest you. You can opt out of these communications at any time.

We also rely on your consent when it comes to using cookies on our websites. You agree to this when using our sites, although cookie rules can vary based on where you are located.

If we need to use your personal information based on our legitimate interests, we will tell you this when collecting the data. Our legitimate interests include things like running our websites, communicating with you when you ask for information and marketing the CYGNVS Platform, or processing your information to meet legal requirements. We do not sell any users’ personal information.

7. Security Safeguards

We adopt data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, and we follow generally accepted practices to protect such data. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. All data at rest on the Services or in transit to and from the Services is encrypted.

For your own safety, please note that the security of data transmitted through the internet can never be guaranteed. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password or other form of authentication involved in accessing password-protected or secured areas of any CYGNVS portal. Access to and use of password-protected and/or secure areas of any CYGNVS portal is restricted to authorized users only.

8. Retention of Personal Data

Subject to the conditions and restrictions set out under applicable laws, we will retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which we collected it and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with audit, contractual or legal requirements or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so. We may retain personal information in computer backup or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of our business.

9. No Sensitive Information

We ask that you not send us, and do not share any sensitive information (for example, government-issued IDs, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, genetic, or biometric data, criminal background, trade union membership, or information relating to any individual’s sex life or sexual orientation), except where such information is legally required.

10. International Transfers

As a global organization, CYGNVS may need to transfer your personal information outside your home jurisdiction to CYGNVS affiliates and/or to other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your region. We will only transfer your personal information to another country in accordance with applicable data protection laws and provided there is adequate protection in place for the data (e.g., through an adequate mechanism for the international transfer of personal information). These mechanisms include written data processing agreements or other appropriate safeguards, as established in the GDPR or voluntary privacy frameworks made to improve general data privacy and safeguard the cross-border transfer of personal information (“Privacy Frameworks”).

• You may request access to, and correction or deletion of, your personal information

• You may object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict its processing and request that we provide your personal information to certain third parties

• You may have the right to complain to CYGNVS and/or a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information

If you have consented to CYGNVS’ collection and use of your personal information, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on another lawful basis.

If your employer is a CYGNVS Partner or End User, then please contact them directly if you wish to exercise your privacy rights concerning your personal information, which they provide to CYGNVS to process for them. CYGNVS is unable to respond directly to your request in this event.
