Resilient may share your Personal Information with our affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

To protect the rights of Resilient and others

USER CONTROL OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personally identifiable Information

Please do not submit to us or post on the Resilient Services any personally identifiable information that you do not want us to collect. In particular, we ask that you not send us, and you not share, any sensitive information, such as social security numbers, on or through the Resilient Services. Please keep in mind that, although you are not required to provide any personally identifiable information that we request, in many cases, if you do not provide us with the requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services or respond to any questions you may have.

Receiving electronic communications from us

If you no longer want to receive emails from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out of receiving these emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the email footer. We will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. However, we are not responsible for removing your personally identifiable information from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy or your consent.

Canceling your account

While your account is active, we retain your Personal Information. If you cancel your account or if we terminate your account for any other reason, we may continue to retain your Personal Information for reasons including, but not limited to, complying with our legal obligations or our internal security policies, meeting regulatory requirements, for fraud detection, improving our site and services, or enforcing this Privacy Policy. Remember that even after your account is cancelled, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances, for example, where you have shared information with a third-party application or web site or where you have posted your Personal Information publicly on the Resilient Services. In addition, because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others, and there may be a delay in the removal of the content from elsewhere on the Internet and from search engines.

SECURITY

The security of your information is very important to us. To safeguard Personal information of the users of the Resilient Services, Resilient has chosen to use a proven method of securing its data and business supporting technologies. By employing the International Standards Organization’s (“ISO”) 27001 standard, which formally specifies an Information Security Management System, Resilient follows a mature program for the assurance of information security. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while we take measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you send to us or that we store on our servers. Your use of the Resilient Services demonstrates your assumption of this risk.

DATA TRANSFERS

Personal Information collected by Resilient may be transferred to, stored, and processed, in your country and in the United States, or any other country where our service providers process information. Our service providers are required by contract to safeguard this Personal Information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than to perform the services instructed by Resilient. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in our Privacy Policy. We also take steps to provide adequate protection for any transfer of your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law. 

LINKED SERVICES

The Resilient Services may contain links to third-party services and sites, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. FSI is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party services and sites and unaffiliated companies. Once you leave the Resilient Services or click an advertisement you will be bound by, and should review the applicable privacy policy of, the other site or service.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The Resilient Services may contain links to our presence on various social media platforms. We do not operate or control these platforms. You should be aware that personally identifiable information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, social network or otherwise online may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to control these uses of your personally identifiable information, and by using such services you assume the risk that the personally identifiable information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN

The Resilient Services are not targeted to children, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children younger than 16 years of age.
