The personal data that we collect when you visit our websites is processed in compliance with the regulations currently in force in the European Union.

Stormshield is committed to protecting the rights of individuals in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereinafter “GDPR”), as well as all national laws and regulations relating to the protection of personal data (referred to collectively as “data protection laws and regulations”).
This privacy notice explains what information we collect when you access our website, how the information is used and disclosed, how you can control the use and disclosure of your personal information and how we protect it.
Personal data is information that can be used to identify a natural person, either directly or indirectly (hereinafter “personal data”). A "personal identifier" is a piece of information that can identify an individual. This definition covers a wide range of personal identifiers which make up personal data, such as names, addresses, email addresses, identification numbers, location data and online logins.
When you visit this website, Stormshield will collect, use and process any personal data that you provide (such as your name, date of birth, company name, etc.) and any information generated as a result of your visit, such as IP address, date and length of your visit, pages you view, etc.
When you visit this website, Stormshield will collect, use and process your personal data in accordance with the terms set out in this privacy notice. Your personal data may be used for the following purposes (hereinafter “purposes”):
As a responsible company, we need a lawful basis for collecting and/or processing your data. We generally rely on a number of grounds (reasons) for this processing within our business activities.
We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions set out in the GDPR and the relevant applicable data protection laws and regulations. The legal bases for processing your personal data are:
Stormshield processes your personal data mostly in the EEA. Your personal data may occasionally be transferred to entities outside the EEA. This transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards based on model contract clauses approved by the European Commission.
We will transfer your personal data to our nearest Stormshield partner Distributor or Trader, which will depend on your location when you visit our site.
We process and store your personal data for as long as it is required to fulfil our contractual and regulatory obligations. If your personal data is no longer required for the performance of contractual or regulatory obligations, it will be erased on a regular basis unless further processing is necessary, for instance, for preserving particular evidence under the applicable data protection laws and regulations or in the context of legal statutes of limitation.
We use technical and organisational security measures to protect the data we have under our control against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction and against access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are continually enhanced as new technology becomes available.
