Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 24, 2020

This is the Privacy Policy of the website for Sean O’Brien, https://cyberclear.cc (hereafter, “Cyber Made Clear”). In this document, “we”, “our”, and “us” refers to Cyber Made Clear. For the Privacy Policy of PrivacySafe Technology Foundation, please see https://privacysafe.tech/privacy-policy.

Our goal is to help to understand what data we collect, why we collect it, what we do with it, and the choices and rights that are available to you. Let us state outright: we will never sell your personal information or data. We collect what is minimally necessary to conduct normal operations in the course of our business. We may reach out to market to you or your company if we believe you have a legitimate interest in our products or services.

Definitions

  • Affiliates – means any company, business entity, or professional service provider with whom we have a partnership, service agreement, contract, or business relationship with.
  • Data Collector – means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by European Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by European Union or Member State law.
  • Data Processor – means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • Legitimate Interest(s) – means that we have a good and valid reason to use your data and that we do so in ways that do not cause harm to you or your rights and interests: i.e. a way reasonably expected as part of operating our business.
  • Personal data/information – means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Our commitment to privacy

Cyber Made Clear is committed to complying with all data protection laws including but not limited to the GDPR, PECR, PIPEDA, and the CCPA.

We have conducted a LIA (Legitimate Interests Assessment) pursuant to the GDPR and determined that a DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) is unnecessary as the data we process is not likely to result in a high risk to individuals. We understand our responsibility to protect the individual’s interests. We have verified that the processing is necessary and there is no less intrusive way to achieve the same result. We have performed a balancing test and are confident that the individual parties’ interests do not override our legitimate interest in contacting them. Individuals’ data is used in ways that they would reasonably expect and would not find intrusive. We review our LIA periodically and update it whenever circumstances change.

If you provide the following information to us (e.g. via a “contact us” or mailing list form), we will collect and store it:

  • Your name (or the name you provide to us)
  • Your job title
  • Your job role
      • Your email address and contact number
        • The name of the organization you work for

          • Other information you provide via website forms
