copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties.
The data obtained for processing depends on the product or service, and it is
recommended that users carefully read the agreements and related statements
accepted during installation or usage of software or service.
Some data are non-personal, according to laws of certain countries. Regardless of
the type of data and territory where data was received or processed, we use the
highest standards of data protection and apply various legal, organizational, and
technical measures in order to protect user data, guarantee safety and
confidentiality, as well as ensure users’ rights guaranteed under applicable law.
The data depends on the products and services you use, and could include the
following:
• Product information
Data on the product’s operation and its interaction with the user is also analyzed.
For example, how long does threat scanning take? Which features are used more often
than others? Answers to these and other questions help developers to improve
products, making them faster and easier to use.
• Device data
Data such as device type, operating system, etc. may be needed so the user doesn’t
have to buy a new license for the security product after reinstalling the operating
system. This information also helps us to analyze cyberthreats, because it shows
how many devices are affected by any specific threat.
• Threats detected
If a threat (new or known) is found on a device, information about that threat is
sent to Kaspersky Lab. This enables us to analyze threats, their sources,
principles of infection, etc., resulting in a higher quality of protection for
every user.
• URLs visited
URLs can be sent to be checked whether they are malicious. This information also
helps to create lists of "white" or harmless websites and prevents security
products from mistakenly identifying such websites as malicious. This data is also
used to update and extend website categories for solutions like Kaspersky Safe Kids
and provide better protection for financial transactions in such products as
Kaspersky Fraud Prevention. In addition, this information helps us to offer users
security solutions that best match their needs. Information about logins and
passwords, if contained in the initial browser request from the user, is removed
from the visited URL addresses up to the hostname or IP address. In any case, it is
not Kaspersky Lab's purpose to process user logins and passwords, and Kaspersky Lab
takes all reasonable and sufficient measures to avoid processing these data.
KASPERSKY LAB WILL ONLY PROCESS PERSONAL DATA FOR PARTICULAR, PRE-DETERMINED
PURPOSES THAT ARE LEGITIMATE WITH REGARD TO APPLICABLE LAW, AND THAT ARE RELEVANT
TO KASPERSKY LAB’S BUSINESS.
• To ensure the performance of a contract with users and to ensure the required
performance of products and services for customers.
• To protect the user from known threats to information security.
• To verify that the license is legal.
• To update the anti-virus databases.
• To increase the effectiveness of the protection of devices, networks, and
information systems, in particular to provide a faster response to new information
and network security threats, to increase the effectiveness of the performance of
the software’s protection component, to decrease the probability of false positive.
• To improve user interaction and experience with our products and services, in
particular changing interfaces and providing the desired content and advertisement,
related to Marketing purpose.
• To provide technical support of products and services for customers and to
improve the quality of products and services.
• To conduct statistical and other studies based on anonymous data.
Threat Intelligence for Protection of Cyber Space
New generations of malware appear all the time, many using new, sophisticated
techniques to bypass existing security solutions. In this constantly shifting
environment, protection is only as effective as the ability to closely analyze the
threat landscape and distill data into actionable intelligence for our users. To
achieve this, security solutions must apply a cloud approach that combines the
widest possible scope of threat data handling with the most intelligent data
processing technologies.
Our infrastructure is designed to receive and process complex global cyberthreat
data, transforming it into the actionable threat intelligence that powers our
products. A key source of threat-related data comes from our users. By sharing
their data and allowing it to be stored and analyzed by artificial intelligence and
experts, they help us to ensure that users around the world are protected against
the newest cyberthreats. In particular, KSN helps us to respond rapidly to emerging
cyberthreats while delivering the highest possible effectiveness of protection and
helping reduce the number of false positives.
The amount of data you allow our infrastructure to receive depends on the product
used, its configuration settings and preferences.
This approach offers numerous benefits for users and cyber space overall,
including:
• Detection of advanced and previously unknown malware;
• Reduced detection errors (false positives);
• Significant reduction in response times to new threats.
Legal Bases Data Processing
The legal basis we use depends on the purpose of processing personal data, which
may be the following:
• Contract – according to point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, in cases where we
have to process certain data necessary to perform a contract, such as when a user
accepts the EULA to use the software;
• Consent – according to point (a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, in cases where a user
chooses to send us data relating to the KSN Statement, Marketing Statement,
Antispam Statement, Supplemental Statement, Statement regarding Data Processing for
Kaspersky Managed Protection, Statement regarding Data Processing for Web Control
(previously called Statement regarding Data Processing for Parental Control),
Statement regarding Data Processing for Call Filter, Protect a Friend Statement, or
Technical Support Statement;
• Legal obligation – according to point (c) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, in cases
where we have to process data to meet legal requirements, such as for tax purposes;
• Legitimate interest – according to point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, in cases
where we have legitimate interests as a cybersecurity company, except where such
interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the
user. In such cases, for example, where personal data is stored in our
infrastructure and analyzed for recent and potential cyberthreats by using
artificial intelligence and/or relying on the expertise of our specialists. Recital
49 of the GDPR acknowledges that it is a legitimate interest of a company to
process personal data to the extent necessary and proportionate in order to ensure
network and information security.
Under certain local laws, you may be entitled to exercise rights in respect of your
personal data, such as those described in the section Your Rights and Options. If
you wish to exercise such right, please contact us via
https://support.kaspersky.com/general/privacy.

FEATURE TO WORK, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT PRODUCT OR FEATURE. THIS
OBLIGATORY DATA IS LISTED IN THE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT. THE KASPERSKY SECURITY

If your employer provides your personal data to Kaspersky Lab, you may have certain
options with respect to Kaspersky Lab’s use or disclosure of the information.
Please contact your employer to learn about and to exercise your options.
To the extent provided by applicable law, you may withdraw any consent you
previously provided to us, or object at any time on legitimate grounds, to the
processing of your personal data. We will apply your preferences going forward. In
some circumstances, withdrawing your consent to Kaspersky Lab’s use or disclosure
of your personal data will mean that you cannot take advantage of certain Kaspersky
Lab products or services.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights:
• To obtain confirmation that we hold personal data about you;
• To request access to and receive information about your personal data;
• To receive copies of your personal data that you provided to us, also in a
machine-readable format and have it sent to another data controller, where
technically possible;
• To update and correct inaccuracies in your personal data;
• To object to the processing of your personal data;
• To have the information blocked, anonymized or deleted, as appropriate; as
well as
• To lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
The right to access personal data may be limited in some circumstances by the
requirements of local law or technological measures, including where the data has
been anonymized and therefore does not relate to an identified or identifiable
natural person. If you wish to exercise these rights, you may at any time directly
contact us at https://support.kaspersky.com/general/privacy.
If we fall short of your expectations in processing your personal data or you wish
to make a complaint about our privacy practices, please relate this to us, as it
gives us an opportunity to fix the problem. You may contact us by using the contact
details provided in the “How to Contact Us” section below. To assist us in
responding to your request, please give full details of the issue. We attempt to
review and respond to all complaints within a reasonable time.
The Privacy Principles
Personal data processing at Kaspersky Lab is based on the following principles:
Consent and choice
• Presenting to the users the choice whether or not to send their personal data
except where the users cannot freely withhold consent or where applicable law
specifically allows the processing of personal data without the natural person’s
consent. The user’s election must be freely given, specific and made on a
knowledgeable basis;
• Informing users, before obtaining consent, about their rights under the
individual participation and access principle;
• Providing users, before obtaining consent, with the information indicated by
the openness, transparency and notice principle; and
• Explaining to users the implications of granting or withholding consent.
Purpose legitimacy and specification
• Ensuring that the purpose(s) complies with applicable law and relies on a
permissible legal basis;
• Communicating the purpose(s) to users before the information is used for the
first time for a new purpose;
• Using language for this specification which is both clear and appropriately
adapted to the circumstances;
Data processing limitation
• Gathering of personal data to that which is within the bounds of applicable
law and strictly necessary for the specified purpose(s).
• Deleting and disposing or anonymizing of personal data whenever the purpose
for personal data processing has expired, there are no legal requirements to keep
the personal data, or whenever it is practical to do so.
Use, retention and disclosure limitation
• Limiting the use, retention and disclosure of personal data to that which is
necessary in order to fulfil specific, explicit and legitimate purposes;
• Limiting the use of personal data to the purposes specified by Kaspersky Lab
prior to receiving the data, unless a different purpose is explicitly required by
applicable law;
• Retaining personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated
purposes (e.g. retaining personal data required for the license for the period of
the relevant license agreement between you and Kaspersky Lab, normally 1 year plus,
if applicable, any renewal period, depending on the product’s license terms), and
thereafter securely destroying or anonymizing it;
• Retaining personal data for as long as necessary in order to fulfill legal
obligations, comply with laws, resolve disputes, including in cases of litigation,
proceedings, or investigations;
• Retaining personal data for as long as necessary in order to fulfill
legitimate interests; and
• Locking (i.e. archiving, securing and exempting the personal data from
further processing) any personal data when and for as long as the stated purposes
have expired, but where retention is required in order to comply with applicable
laws.
Accuracy and quality
• Ensuring that the personal data processed is accurate, complete, up-to-date
(unless there is a legitimate basis for keeping outdated data), adequate and
relevant for the purpose of use;
• Ensuring the reliability of personal data provided from a source other than
from users before it is processed;
• Verifying, through appropriate means, the validity and correctness of the
claims made by the user prior to making any changes to the personal data (in order
to ensure that the changes are properly authorized), where it is appropriate to do
so;
• Establishing personal data processing procedures to help ensure accuracy and
quality; and
• Establishing control mechanisms to periodically check the accuracy and
quality of personal data processing.
Openness, transparency and notice
• Providing users with clear and easily accessible information about Kaspersky
Lab’s policies;
• Establishing procedures and practices with respect to the processing of
personal data;
• Including in notices the fact that personal data is being processed, the
purpose for which this is done, the types of privacy stakeholders to whom the
personal data might be disclosed, and the identity of the entity which determines
the above and on how to contact;
• Disclosing the options and means offered by Kaspersky Lab to users for the
purposes of limiting the processing of, and for accessing, correcting and removing
their information;
• Giving notice to users when major changes in the personal data handling
procedures occur.
Individual participation and access
• Giving users the ability to contact us (by using the contact details provided
in the “How to Contact Us”) and review their personal data, provided their identity
is first authenticated with an appropriate level of assurance and such access is
not prohibited by applicable law;
• Allowing users (by using the contact details provided in the “How to Contact
Us” or by using interface of our products and services) to challenge the accuracy
and completeness of the personal data and have it amended, corrected or removed as
appropriate and possible in the specific context;
• Providing any amendment, correction or removal to personal data processors
and third parties to whom personal data had been disclosed, where they are known;
and
• Establishing procedures to enable users to exercise these rights in a simple,
fast and efficient way, which does not entail undue delay or cost.
Information Security: How We Protect Your Privacy
Information security is Kaspersky Lab’s core business. All data and all information
provided by you is confidential by default. Kaspersky Lab will therefore always
apply technical and organizational data security measures for the protection of
personal data that are adequate and appropriate, taking into account the concrete
risks resulting from the processing of personal data as well as up-to-date security
standards and procedures. In order to, among other reasons, identify and fulfill
the appropriate level of protection, Kaspersky Lab classifies processing systems
with personal data and implements cascading sets of protective measures.
Kaspersky Lab also maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to
protect the information against loss, misuse, damage or modification and
unauthorized access or disclosure. Some of the other central features of our
information security program are:
• The Information Security Department, which designs, implements and provides
oversight to our information security program;
• A determination of personal data safety hazards in the course of processing
in a Kaspersky Lab processing system;
• Application of appropriate information security tools;
• Performance evaluation of applied personal data security measures before
commissioning processing systems;
• Implementing controls to identify, authenticate and authorize access to
various services or websites;
• Discovering the facts surrounding unauthorized access to personal data and
adopting corresponding measures;
• Recovery of personal data that was modified or destructed;
• Establishing access rules to personal data processed in Kaspersky Lab
processing systems and also recording and accounting for all actions undertaken
with personal data in these systems;
• Encryption between our clients and servers (and between our various data
centers);
• We restrict access of our employees and contractors who need to know the
information in order to process it for us and who are subject to strict contractual
confidentiality obligations, to personal information. They may be disciplined or
their contract terminated if they fail to meet these obligations;
• Monitoring of our systems infrastructure to detect weaknesses and potential
intrusions;
• Monitoring measures taken to ensure the security of personal data;
• Providing Kaspersky Lab personnel with relevant training and continually
updating our security practices in light of new risks and developments in
technology.
