PART V: SECURITY AND RETENTION

Security

Ericom maintains (and also requires its service providers to maintain) reasonable and appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the security and confidentiality of any Personal Data we process. For example, Ericom employs physical access controls, encryption, Internet firewalls, intrusion detection and network monitoring depending on the nature of the information and the scope of processing. Ericom staff who may have access to Personal Data are required to keep that information confidential. However, no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we encourage you to take care when disclosing Personal Data online.

Please note that no service is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, data loss or a data breach will never occur.

Security measures you can take: Cloud services follow a shared responsibility model where the Cloud Service Provider is responsible for the security of the service, while the Customer is responsible for the security of their use of the service. There are best practices that you can do to secure your account, such as enabling two-factor authentication for your account. Additionally, you must keep your account secure with a confidential password and not disclose them publicly or to unauthorized individuals — this includes accidentally distributing them in source code or shared repositories. Please let us know right away if you think your password or account was compromised or misused.

Similarly, if you provision an API Key, you should keep your secret, well… secret. You should store your API Key, Account SID, and secret in a secure location.

How we use Personal Data Personal Data for security purposes

We may collect and use Customer Data or Customer Usage Data to detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud, or abuse and misuse of our platform and Services. In addition, we also use records containing End User Personal Data to debug, troubleshoot, or investigate security incidents; to detect and prevent spam or fraudulent activity; and to detect and prevent network exploits and abuse. We may anonymize Personal Data and use it for our legitimate business needs.

Retention

We keep your Personal Data to enable your continued use of Ericom Services, for as long as it is required in order to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, or as may be required by law (including for tax and accounting purposes), or as otherwise communicated to you.

PART VII: GDPR AND US PRIVACY LAW

You should be aware that data privacy laws can vary in different jurisdictions where Ericom operates and has employees.

GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK):

This Privacy Statement applies to Personal Data collected and/or used by Ericom while acting in the capacity of a Data Controller, as defined in the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, the “EU GDPR” or, where applicable, the “United Kingdom (UK) GDPR” (as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of section 3 of the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), as amended and supplemented from time to time (together, herein referred to as the “GDPR”):

Data Controller and Data Processor

Certain data protection laws, including the GDPR, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of Personal Data. A Data Controller decides why and how to process personal information. A Data Processor does not make decisions about Personal Data and only processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions.

Ericom is the Data Controller and responsible for the Personal Data it collects and processes in the role of the Data Controller. For instance, Ericom is the Data Controller for its marketing data, Customer contact information, and its employee and contractor data. Ericom may also be a Controller when developing products and new features and providing customer support and fraud prevention. For purposes of the GDPR, the Data Controller is Ericom Software Ltd., c/o Regus, 28 Dam Hamacabim Street, Modi’in 7178594 Israel..

Our Customers are the Data Controllers for any Personal Data related to them and the parties they allow to use our Services.

Generally, Ericom is the Data Processor for the Services it performs for its Customers. When acting as a Data Processor, we only process Personal Data at the instruction of our Customers.

If you are an End User of an Ericom Customer, this Privacy Notice does not apply to the services that our Customers provide to their End Users. Our Customers have their own policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of the personal information of their End Users. If you are an End User of one of our Customers and want to learn about how that Customer handles your personal information, we encourage you to read the Customer’s privacy policy. Only the Customer can assist you with requests for access or deletion.

International Personal Data Transfers

Ericom is an Israeli based company with global Affiliates. It was recently acquired by Cradlepoint, a US-based subsidiary of the Swedish telecommunication company Ericsson. We primarily store your information in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel. To facilitate our global operations, we may transfer and access such information from around the world, including from other countries in which Ericom or its Affiliates have operations for the purposes described in this Policy.

Data Transfers from EU/Switzerland: When we transfer Personal Data from the EU, Switzerland, or UK to any other country, we will do so according to an adequate mechanism of transfer as required by applicable laws or regulations.

Data Privacy Framework: Ericom Software, Inc. has certified to the US Department of Commerce that it complies with the EU-US/UK/Swiss Data Privacy Framework Principles (the “DPF”) with regards to processing of Personal Data from EU/UK and Swiss data subjects. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view the Ericom certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern.
