Introduction

This notice applies across all websites that we own and operate and all services we provide, including our online services products, and any other apps or services we may offer (for example, events or training). For the purpose of this notice, we’ll just call them our ‘services’.
‍
When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email, address, telephone number, bank account details, payment information, credit card details,  support queries, and so on. If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this notice doesn’t apply.
‍
We may need to update this notice from time to time. Where a change is significant, we’ll make sure we let you know – usually by sending you an email.

Who are ‘we’?

When we refer to ‘we’ (or ‘our’ or ‘us’), that means CT4 Pty Limited and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our headquarters are in Australia but we operate and have offices all over the world. Address details for all CT4 offices are available on our contacts us page.
‍
For European Union data protection purposes, when we act as a controller in relation to your personal data, CT4 Europe Limited (Company No: 09357367) is our representative in the European Union.

Our principles of data protection

Our approach to data protection is built around four key principles. They’re at the heart of everything we do relating to personal data.
‍
Transparency: We take a human approach to how we process personal data by being open, honest and transparent.
‍
Enablement: We enable connections and efficient use of personal data to empower productivity and growth.
‍
Security: We champion industry leading approaches to securing the personal data entrusted to us.
‍
Stewardship: We accept the responsibility that comes with processing personal data.

How we collect your data

When you visit our websites or use our services, we collect personal data. The ways we collect it can be broadly categorised into the following:
‍
Information you provide to us directly: When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, when you sign up for a subscription, join us on social media, take part in training and events, contact us with questions or request support. If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or services.
‍
Information we collect automatically: We collect some information about you automatically when you visit our websites or use our services, like your IP address and device type. We also collect information when you navigate through our websites and services, including what pages you looked at and what links you clicked on. This information is useful for us as it helps us get a better understanding of how you’re using our websites and services so that we can continue to provide the best experience possible (e.g., by personalising the content you see).
Some of this information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies..
‍
Information we get from third parties: The majority of information we collect, we collect directly from you. Sometimes we might collect personal data about you from other sources, such as publicly available materials or trusted third parties like our marketing and research partners. We use this information to supplement the personal data we already hold about you, in order to better inform, personalise and improve our services, and to validate the personal data you provide.
‍
Where we collect personal data, we’ll only process it:


If we don’t collect your personal data, we may be unable to provide you with all our services, and some functionsand features on our websites may not be available to you.
‍

How we collect your data

First and foremost, we use your personal data to operate our websites and provide you with any services you’ve requested, and to manage our relationship with you. We also use your personal data for other purposes, which may include the following:
‍
To communicate with you: This may include:


To support you: This may include assisting with the resolution of technical support issues or other issues relating to the websites or services, whether by email, or otherwise.
‍
To enhance our websites and services and develop new ones: For example, by tracking and monitoring your use of websites and services so we can keep improving, or by carrying out technical analysis of our websites and services so that we can optimise your user experience and provide you with more efficient tools.
‍
To protect: So that we can detect and prevent any fraudulent or malicious activity, and make sure that everyone is using our websites and services fairly and in accordance with our terms (www.cirrusbackup.com/terms).
‍

How we collect your data

There will be times when we need to share your personal data with third parties. We will only disclose your personal data to:

International Data Transfers

If we share data, and that would only ever be subscriber data, it will never be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country where you signed up to. 

Security

Security is a priority for us when it comes to your personal data. We’re committed to protecting your personal data and have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to make sure that happens.

Retention

The length of time we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
‍
We’ll retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, we’ll make sure it’s deleted or anonymised.
