ALTR Brief: Snowflake Cybersecurity Investigation

ALTR Solutions, Inc. (“we” or “us”) is a cloud-based data security platform that helps users protect their data while minimizing operational interruption. We are committed to the protection of the privacy of visitors (“visitors”) to our website, altr.com and individuals or entities that register to use our products and services (“customers”).  This privacy policy covers how we collect, use, retain, disclose, and transfer the personal data of visitors and customers.

This privacy policy does not govern our customers’ collection of personal data, including data regarding their users of their products, services, applications or websites

Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your personal data. If you do not agree to this privacy policy, your choice is to not use our website or register to use our services.

1. Role of ALTR

We act as a data controller when we collect personal data from visitors to our website or otherwise in connection with the marketing of our products and services to current or potential customers.  We are a processor with respect to customer end user data (as described below).

2. Collection of Personal Data

Throughout this privacy policy, we use the term “personal data” to mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, email address, and phone number and which is not otherwise publicly available. Personal data may include other types of information depending on the definition that applies in your physical location.

This section explains the various ways in which we may collect your personal data.

Personal Data You Provide to Us

We may collect personal data you provide to us in the following scenarios:

The personal data collected in these instances may include your name, phone number, email address, physical address, payment information and/or any other personal data that you choose to provide.

Personal Data We Collect Automatically

As you navigate our website, we may also collect information through the use of commonly used information-gathering tools, such as web beacons, standard information from your web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your IP address, and the actions you take on our website.

Personal Data We Collect From Third-Parties

We may obtain personal data about you from third-parties, including but not limited to marketing event organizers, partners and resellers.  We require that any third-party providing us with personal data has the necessary rights and consents to share such personal data with us.  The personal data collected in these instances may include your name, phone number, email address, and physical address.

Children’s Information and Sensitive Information

Our site is directed to individuals who are the age of majority or older in their jurisdiction.  We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.  If you believe your child has provided information to us, please contact us using the information provided below.

3. Customer End User Data

This privacy policy does not apply to customer end user data.  With respect to our customers, we are a data processor, and we process the personal data collected by our customers and sent to us only in accordance with the instructions of our customers. Our customers may use our services to protect data pertaining to their own customers, end users, or employees (“customer end users”).  The personal data that we may process regarding customer end users is referred to as “customer end user data.”

Our customers, not us, choose the type of customer end user data processed through their use of our services. We process the customer end user data only according to the instructions of customers, and our legal obligations with respect to the customer end user data is set forth in the agreement between our customers and us. The collection of customer end user data is governed by our customers’ privacy policies, and if you are a customer end user then you should review the customer’s privacy policy to learn more about the customer’s data handling practices.

While we recognize that an individual may have the right to access, delete and amend the data collected about that individual, we do not have a relationship with customer end users but rather only with our customers. If you are a customer end user and you would like to access, amend or delete your data, then you need to contact the customer directly, and we will respond within a reasonable period of time to any such request by our customer.
