To comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, or contractual obligations;
To enforce our terms, policies, and agreements.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent: when you voluntarily submit information, enable optional features, accept non-essential cookies, or grant optional app permissions;
Contractual necessity: when processing is necessary to provide services you request or to take steps before entering into a contract;
Legal obligation: when processing is required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal requests, or public authority requirements;
Legitimate interests: where necessary for service improvement, cybersecurity, fraud prevention, business communication, system reliability, and legal protection, provided that your rights and freedoms do not override those interests.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

We may share personal data only in the following circumstances:

Service providers: trusted providers that help us operate our website, applications, infrastructure, communications, analytics, hosting, security, and support services;
Legal and regulatory requirements: where required by law, court order, regulatory obligation, or lawful request from public authorities;

Business transfers: if Defend Cyberspace is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of business assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website or applications may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, diagnostics, crash reporting, email delivery, security monitoring, or similar operational purposes. These third-party services may process limited personal data on our behalf. We do not authorize third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own independent marketing purposes.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use essential cookies for website functionality, security, session management, and user preferences. Analytics cookies may be used to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve our services. Where legally required, analytics cookies are used only after you provide consent.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Contact form and inquiry data: up to 2 years;
Support and communication records: up to 2 years after the last interaction;
Account data: for as long as the account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter;
Security logs: for as long as necessary for security, fraud prevention, incident investigation, and legal protection;
Legal, accounting, and contractual records: for the period required by applicable law;
Anonymized or aggregated analytics data: may be retained for longer because it does not identify individual users.

12. Account and Data Deletion

If our application allows account creation, you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at [email protected]. If the application includes an in-app account deletion function, you may also use that function directly from within the app.

When you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize personal data associated with your account unless we are required or permitted to retain certain data for legal, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, accounting, or compliance purposes.

13. International Data Transfers

We are based in the European Union. However, some service providers or technical infrastructure may process data outside the EU or European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we use appropriate safeguards, such as European Commission adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, contractual safeguards, technical safeguards, organizational safeguards, or other lawful transfer mechanisms under applicable data protection law.

14. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, authentication and authorization controls, secure server environments, logging and monitoring, data minimization, employee confidentiality obligations, and vendor security review where appropriate.

No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. However, we take reasonable steps to protect personal data and continuously improve our security practices.

15. Children's Privacy

Our website, applications, and services are not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete the data.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights:

Right of access to your personal data;
Right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
Right to request deletion of your data;
Right to restrict processing;
Right to object to processing;
Right to withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent;

We may send marketing communications only where permitted by law, including where you have provided consent or where we have a lawful basis to do so. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us at [email protected].

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-marketing administrative, security, legal, or service-related messages.

18. Links to Other Websites or Services

Our website or applications may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal data.
