Privacy Policy
Tier4Security Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you access our Threat Intelligence Feed (the "Service"), which provides Indicators of Compromise ("IoCs") and related content derived from public Internet sources using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not access or use the Service.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information in connection with the Service:
A. Technical Data
Usage Data: We may collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as IP addresses, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, access times, and log data. This data is collected automatically to ensure the security, performance, and functionality of the Service.
Account Data: If you create an account to access the Service, we may collect limited information such as your email address, username, or other identifiers necessary for authentication and account management.
B. Content-Related Data
The Service provides IoCs and threat intelligence derived from publicly available sources. In some cases, IoCs (e.g., IP addresses or domain names) may inherently contain or relate to information that could be considered personal under certain data protection laws. Such data is processed solely as part of our AI-driven threat intelligence operations and is not used to identify individuals.
C. Voluntarily Provided Information
If you contact us (e.g., via email or support forms), we may collect information you provide, such as your name, email address, or the content of your communication.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 16 years of age. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Service Delivery: To provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including delivering AI-curated threat intelligence and IoCs.
Security and Monitoring: To monitor and protect the Service from unauthorized access, fraud, or abuse, using technical data such as IP addresses.
Improvement and Analytics: To analyze usage patterns and improve the Service's functionality, performance, and relevance, leveraging our AI systems to enhance data processing and scoring algorithms.
Account Management: To authenticate users, manage accounts, and provide customer support.
Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes, such as responding to lawful requests from authorities.
Communication: To respond to your inquiries, provide updates about the Service, or inform you of changes to our policies.
Our AI systems process data in an automated manner to minimize human access to potentially sensitive information and ensure efficient delivery of threat intelligence.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share technical or account data with third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, or authentication services) who assist in operating the Service. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our AI-driven processes are designed to minimize human interaction with data, and we use encryption, access controls, and secure protocols to safeguard technical and account data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
5. Data Retention
We retain technical and account data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Usage data is typically retained for a limited period (e.g., for security or analytics purposes) and then anonymized or deleted. IoCs and threat intelligence data are retained as part of the Service's operations but are not linked to individual users unless required for account management.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as:
Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal or operational requirements.
Objection or Restriction: Object to or restrict certain processing activities, where permitted by law.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), if applicable.
You may also opt out of receiving non-essential communications (e.g., newsletters) by following the unsubscribe instructions in those communications or contacting us directly.
7. International Data Transfers
The Service is operated from Delaware, United States. If you access the Service from outside this jurisdiction, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure such transfers comply with applicable laws, such as implementing standard contractual clauses where required.
8. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.
9. AI and Data Processing
Our Service relies on advanced AI to collect, triage, curate, and score IoCs. These AI systems process data in a manner that minimizes the collection or use of personal information. Where IoCs may include potentially sensitive data (e.g., IP addresses), our AI processes are designed to treat such data as technical identifiers for threat intelligence purposes only, not as personal information about individuals.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
