In order for our websites, including our online risk management platform (the “Platform”), applications (web-based or mobile), products and services (collectively, the “Services”) to function properly, we collect, use, store, disclose or otherwise process information, including personal information about individuals (“you” or “your”) who use, access, or enroll in the Services. In order to provide our threat detection services, we also maintain a security threat database that may include limited personal data relating to actors involved in those incidents.

Coalition is committed to protecting your privacy and we want you to understand what personal information we collect and how we use it.

The Services are directed towards our business customers and potential customers. They should not be used for personal, family, or household purposes. We treat all personal information covered by this Policy as pertaining to individuals acting as business representatives, rather than in their personal capacity.

The information we collect and how that information is used depends to a certain extent on how you use our Services.

Coalition may, now or in the future, allow you to link your account on the Platform to your account(s) on third party services, such as social networking sites (“Linked Accounts”). If you link your account on the Platform to a Linked Account, you are authorizing Coalition to store and use your access credentials to access your Linked Account on your behalf as your agent to integrate your experience with the Platform with content, information, and features available through such Linked Account. This may include importing certain information of the Linked Account, and/or pushing updates regarding your use of the Services out to your Linked Accounts. The information we receive when you link your account through a third party service depends on the settings, permissions, and privacy policy controlled by that Linked Account. Linking, accessing, or using a third party service through the Platform in this manner may be subject to additional terms and privacy policies established by the applicable third party, and it is your sole responsibility to comply with such third party terms and familiarize yourself with such privacy policies.

Our Platform also includes social media features, such as a “Like” button, and widgets, such as the “share this” button or other interactive mini-programs that run on our Platform. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Platform, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by Third Party Sites or hosted directly on our Platform.

 

Our Platform also offers publicly accessible community forums managed by Third Party Sites that may require you to register to post a comment. We do not have access or control of the information posted to the community forum.

Your interactions and any personal information that you submit via Linked Accounts, Third Party Sites or other features of these Third Party Sites are governed by the privacy policy of companies that are not controlled by Coalition and we do not assume responsibility for their privacy practices. Therefore, the terms of usage and their privacy policy may differ from the terms of this policy. You are encouraged to review the privacy policy of any Third Party Sites that you visit or engage with.

Please be aware that any information that you submit to a social media site such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy. Coalition cannot control the actions of social media site users and is not responsible for any content or submission contained on such sites. Further, Coalition cannot guarantee the privacy and safety of these sites and is therefore not responsible for any content that you or any other social media user posts.

Processing of Personal Information in the United States

Coalition has users located across the globe. We are headquartered in the United States with service providers that operate in other countries.

CCPA Privacy Notice

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires specific disclosures for California residents. This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand how Coalition or its affiliates handle your information, specifically:

Retention Periods: We retain your information according to the “How Long Coalition Keeps Your Personal Information” section above. 

Your CCPA Rights: Subject to applicable exceptions, California residents may request information from Coalition about how it collects, uses and discloses your personal information, request access to your information, to correct inaccurate personal information, and request that Coalition delete that information. After we receive your request, we may request additional information to verify your identity. Your authorized agent may submit requests in the same manner, although we may require the agent to present signed written permission to act on your behalf, and you may also be required to independently verify your identity with us and confirm that you have provided the agent permission to submit the request. The CCPA also requires that you not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

 

Opt-Out of Sale or Share: We don’t sell your personal information in exchange for money, but some of our website tracking qualifies as a “selling” or “sharing” under the CCPA, so online tracking information is the only category of information that we sell. You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You may do so through certain browser enabled opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control. You can learn more about that option here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of anyone under 16 years of age.

 

Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not collect sensitive personal information other than as a consumer would reasonably expect. As such, we do not offer a right to limit our use of such information.

How to Exercise CCPA Rights: Questions or requests related to your rights under the CCPA may be addressed to privacy@coalitioninc.com or as further set out below under the “Contact Information” section of this Policy.

If you are a resident of the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to: (a) request to access the personal data we hold about you; (b) request we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you; (c) request we delete any personal data we hold about you (although certain aspects may be retained by us to meet our legal or regulatory compliance, obligations, exercise, establish, or defend claims, and to protect against fraudulent or abusive activity relating to our Services); (d) restrict the processing of personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances; (e) object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if we are using your personal data for direct marketing, for our or a third party’s legitimate interests or the public’s interest, or for scientific or historical research and statistics; and/or (f) receive any personal data we hold about you in a structured and commonly used machine readable format or have such personal data transmitted to another company. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing of your personal data that has already taken place nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on a legal basis other than consent.

Your exercise of these rights may be subject to certain exemptions, including to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g. the maintenance of legal privilege). 

To exercise any of your rights in connection with your personal data, please contact us privacy@coalitioninc.com or as further set out below under the “Contact Information section. If you have a complaint about how we use your personal data, we hope that you will contact us, and we will promptly address your concern. However, you also have the right to file a complaint to a data protection authority in your country. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EEA are available at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en. Contact details for the data protection authority in the United Kingdom is available at https://ico.org.uk/.

Notice to Canadian Residents

Subject to our use of certain foreign third-party service providers as discussed above, we will keep your personal information in our offices and data centers in Canada and the United States.

We collect, use, and disclose your personal information with your consent or otherwise as permitted or required by applicable  law. We will typically obtain your  consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information at the time that we collect, and in the case where such information had already been collected for different purposes, prior to using or disclosing it for new purposes, except where permitted or required by law. 

Depending on the circumstances and the type of information required, consent can be express or implied. The form of consent that we seek, including whether it is express or implied, will largely be determined by assessing the sensitivity of the personal information and the reasonable expectations you might have in the circumstances.

You can withdraw or vary your consent at any time as required by applicable law. Where feasible or required by applicable law, we will generally accommodate requests to withdraw or vary consent – subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawal of your consent may mean that we will no longer be able to provide you with certain products or services. If you wish to withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, please contact us at privacy@coalitioninc.com or as further set out below under the “Contact Information” section. Please note that if you opt-out from receiving marketing-related emails, we may still need to send you communications about your use of our products or services, or other matters.

For access requests regarding your personal information, we may require that you provide sufficient identification to fulfill your access request regarding your personal information, and any such identifying information will be used only for this purpose. Where required by applicable laws, we will not charge you any fees to access your personal information in our records without first providing you with an estimate of the approximate fees, if any, as permitted. 

We use reasonable efforts to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date as necessary for the purposes for which such information was collected by us. If you successfully demonstrate that the personal information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal information as required. When appropriate, we will transmit the amended information to any parties to whom we sent the original information. If you object to how we handle your request, you have the right to make a complaint to the applicable privacy commissioner or regulator.

Notification of Policy Changes

We take the trust and privacy of our customers extremely seriously, and do not believe that we will need to change the core principles set forth in this Policy going forward. However, if we are required to modify this Policy, we will provide notice to Users of the Services of any material changes and seek your affirmative consent where required by law. Coalition will post the modified Policy on the Platform along with the effective date of the policy updates, as indicated by the “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy.
