Introduction

Martini Security, LLC (“Martini Security”,” “we” or “us”) are committed to protecting the privacy of its Website visitors (“you”) and customers (“you” or “customer”) and employees or agents of customers (“you” or “Individuals”). As a result, Martini Security has promulgated this privacy notice to inform its Website visitors, customers and Individuals about how Martini Security will collect, use, share or otherwise process any personal data or usage information.

This privacy notice applies to all sites owned and operated by Martini Security (collectively, “Websites,” individually referred to as a “Website,” meaning each and every Website owned and operated by Martini Security). This privacy notice also applies to Martini Security’s provision of certificate services and all dealings with natural-person representatives of our customers (the “Validation Services” or “certificates”).

Martini Security is a company established in the United States with principal offices at 100 S KING ST, STE 100-1006 Seattle, WA 98104-2885 and for the purpose of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and any other applicable data privacy laws, we are the data controller of personal information obtained through our Website. We are also a data controller in relation to the Individuals’ personal information that we receive from customers, either directly or through resellers.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding the personal data we process through our Website or through providing services to our customers, you may contact Martini Security’s Data Privacy Officer.

Information we receive:

  1. Through our Website: Martini Security collects information such as the name, organization, and email address of Website visitors and customers who voluntarily submit that information via our Website, email, by creating an account or otherwise, in order to download software or to submit sales or technical support questions.

  2. From customers: customers request certificates through their account on Martini Security’s Website (the “Account”) or through other contacts with Martini Security or its resellers.

    When submitting a request, customers typically provide to Martini Security the following information about Individuals: name, email address, telephone number, address, government-issued identification (which may include additional information, depending on the identification used) and FRN/CORES ID. Specific information about personal data required for particular Martini Security services and products may be found in Martini Security’s Certification Practices Statement.

    Where customers share personal information of Individuals with Martini Security, customers represent that they have collected and processed such information in accordance with data privacy laws, and that they have duly informed the Individuals that their personal information was provided to Martini Security. Martini Security will process such information following customer instructions as well as according to the industry standards that govern the issuance of digital certificates (“Industry Standards”). More information on the Industry Standards may be found through consulting Martini Security’s Certification Practices Statement.

Provide products and services including sales & support: As it is in our legitimate interest to market, sell, and provide our products and services, send order confirmations, respond to customer service requests, provide chat services with sales questions and technical support needs, and fulfill your order, including using the information to verify the identity of the customer or to contact the customer in order to discuss support, renewal, and the purchase of products and services.

  2. Marketing: We will use your information as it is in our legitimate interests to send out promotional emails (subject to seek your consent where required by applicable law). These emails include beacons that communicate information about the email back to Martini Security, as further set out in Cookie Settings Such tracking allows Martini Security to gauge the effectiveness of its advertising and marketing campaigns.

    Recipients can opt-out of receiving promotional communications from Martini Security by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each email or by emailing [email protected].

    Martini Security may use third parties, with which it has a confidentiality agreement, to send promotional emails on our behalf. However, Martini Security does not permit any third party to use customer information provided by Martini Security or obtained on Martini Security’s behalf for any other purpose. Anyone receiving an unsolicited email related to Martini Security’s products and services should forward the entire message and headers to [email protected].

  4. Advisory emails: While a customer account is active, Martini Security will send advisory e-mails to customers to provide support and security updates in relation to our products and services, as this is necessary for the performance of our contracts with customers. Advisory emails are used to respond to inquiries, provide support and validation services, provide upgrade information and security updates, inform customers about expiring certificates, and inform the customer about ordered products and services.

Security

The security of your personal information is of the utmost importance to Martini Security. Martini Security only transmits personal information, including sensitive information (such as credit cards), using transport layer security (TLS, formerly referred to as secure sockets layer or SSL).

Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While Martini Security strives to use commercially acceptable standards to protect personal information, Martini Security cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

We take all necessary security and legal precautions to ensure the safety and integrity of the Individuals’ personal data that we receive from customers, including, as appropriate, (i) the pseudonymization of personal data; (ii) ensuring the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services; (iii) restoring the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (iv) regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

In certain circumstances and where legally available or required in your jurisdiction, Individuals also have the following rights:

  2. Correction, erasure, and restriction of processing: You have the right to require us to correct any personal data held about you that is inaccurate and have incomplete data completed or ask us to delete data (i) where you believe it is no longer necessary for us to hold the personal data; (ii) where we are processing your data on the basis of our legitimate interest and you object to such processing; or (iii) if you believe the personal data we hold about you is being unlawfully processed by us. You can ask us to restrict processing data we hold about you other than for storage purposes if you believe the personal data is not accurate (whilst we verify accuracy); where we want to erase the personal data as the processing we are doing is unlawful but you want us to continue to store; where we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing but you require us to retain the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or where you have objected to us processing personal data and we are considering your objection.

    Customers and Individuals cannot edit a Martini Security Certificate directly. In order to update information in a Certificate, including personal information, customers or Individuals must submit a change request to the appropriate data authority, such as the FCC, correct the information and request a new certificate.

  3. Objection: You have the right to object to our processing of data about you and we will consider your request.

Before we respond to your request, we will ask you to verify your identity. Note that these rights may not apply in their entirety in your jurisdiction and are subject to the applicable law of the jurisdiction where you reside. Where the exercise of a particular data subject right is not required by law, your request will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

How Long We Store Your Data

We will retain your information as follows:

  1. Account data and data provided for Validation Services (including to send Advisory emails): As long as the account is active, while a certificate remains unexpired, and in accordance with industry standards, which requires us to maintain the data for 7.5 to 10.5 years (depending on the type of Certificate with which the data is associated) after account cancellation or Certificate expiration. In addition, after account cancellation, we will keep this for as long as necessary to defend against legal claims, resolve disputes, or enforcing customer agreements.

  2. Data provided and collected for marketing and web experience customization purposes: until you notify us that you no longer want us to use your information for marketing and/or web experience customization purposes, by unsubscribing from any marketing email you receive, changing your cookie preferences through consulting our Cookie Settings, or by contacting [email protected].
