Our Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 August 2018

At AVeS Cyber Security (Pty) Ltd (herein referred to as “AVeS Cyber Security”, “We”, “Our” and “Us”), we know you care about your personal privacy and about the terms and conditions that govern your use of this Website (this “Site”). Because we are dedicated to serving your needs and respecting your preferences, we have adopted the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement and Conditions of Use.

1. Our Collection and Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information

In general, we collect and use information about you for client administration, to deliver client benefits (e.g., our newsletter) and to inform you of AVeS Cyber Security-related conferences, benefits and/or other opportunities. Except as described herein, we do not sell, rent or otherwise share or disclose your private, personally identifiable information to third parties.

By engaging our services, you agree to abide by our Privacy Statement and Conditions of Use. Where our services are made available to you by an authorised third party, e.g. Cyber cover benefits from Discovery Insure Limited (“Discovery Insure”), you further agree to AVeS Cyber Security and the authorised third party (e.g. Discovery Insure) sharing information relating to your business that may enable both AVeS Cyber Security and the authorised third party (e.g. Discovery Insure) to provide a broader set of products, benefits and services to you.

Because of the nature of our business, our services and benefits are not designed to appeal to minors. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children.

AVeS Cyber Security specifically collects information from you at several different points, including but not limited to the following:

1.1 Information You Provide To Us

AVeS Cyber Security primarily collects information in connection with AVeS Cyber Security services, products, and AVeS Cyber Security-related event registrations. AVeS Cyber Security will treat any information of its clients and event attendees as confidential and will not disclose it to any third party (other than in connection with AVeS Cyber Security co-sponsored conferences as described below) without consent. We do not rent, sell or otherwise disclose personal information for non-event related mailings. If you do not wish to receive AVeS Cyber Security newsletters or have specific contact preferences, you may express your preferences by calling or e-mailing AVeS Cyber Security’s Administrative Offices at the contact information below informing us of your preferences. Newsletters, event invitations, industry notifications and other emails we distribute using third-party mailing services also contain a link that you may use to set your mass mail-specific contact preferences.

In connection with AVeS Cyber Security-hosted events, AVeS Cyber Security provides an attendee list to the sponsors, co-sponsors, and exhibitors. AVeS Cyber Security may also make available (through a third-party mailing service) addresses for use by sponsors, co-sponsors and exhibitors in two pre- and one post-event mailing. If you do not wish to receive the information from such sponsors, co-sponsors and exhibitors, you may express your preference to not be so contacted by either checking the appropriate box on the registration form at the time of registration or by calling or e-mailing AVeS Cyber Security’s Administrative Offices at the contact information below informing us of your preference.

1.2 Correspondence

If you correspond with us via e-mail, the postal service, or another form of communication, we may retain such correspondence and the information contained therein and use such to respond to your enquiry and/or notify you of AVeS Cyber Security events, news or other AVeS Cyber Security-related opportunities. Importantly, e-mail and postal address information are never sold, given, or otherwise shared or disclosed to third parties except as set forth herein. If you do not wish to receive such notifications, you may express your preference not to be so contacted by calling or e-mailing AVeS Cyber Security’s Administrative Offices at the contact information below informing us of your preference.

1.3 Information From Other Sources

We may receive information about you from other sources, such as our agents, vendors and service providers, and from publicly available sources. For example, sometimes we receive information from third parties when we process payments made by you for events, products or services.

1.4 URL and IP Address

Like many other Websites, we collect information about our users’ usage and navigation of our Site. This information helps us to design our Site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Site, analyse trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.

1.5 Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are pieces of data that a Website transfers to a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Web beacons are transparent pixel images that are used in collecting information about website usage, e-mail response, and tracking.

The Site uses cookies and Web beacons to provide enhanced functionality on the site (e.g., event registration) and aggregate traffic data (e.g., what pages are the most popular). These cookies may be delivered in a first-party or third-party context. AVeS Cyber Security may also use cookies and web beacons in association with e-mails delivered by AVeS Cyber Security. Our Site also captures limited information (user-agent, HTTP referrer, last URL requested by the user, client-side and server-side clickstream) about visits to our Site; we may use this information to analyse general traffic patterns and to perform routine system maintenance. You have many choices about the management of cookies on your computer. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from your system. To learn more about your ability to manage cookies and web beacons, please consult the privacy features in your browser.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

2. Restrictions on Disclosing Information to Third Parties

We may disclose all of the information (described above) that we collect, as stated above and in accordance with the terms outlined in this section. We do not reveal personally identifiable information about you to third parties for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorise; (2) in connection with AVeS Cyber Security-hosted and AVeS Cyber Security co-sponsored events as described above; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, to comply with a search warrant, subpoena or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (4) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (5) to address emergencies or acts of God or (6) to address disputes, claims, or to persons holding a legal or beneficial interest. We may also gather aggregated data about our clients and Site visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

AVeS Cyber Security’s website uses interfaces with social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you choose to “like” or share information from AVeS Cyber Security website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the social media site to connect your site visit to your personally identifiable information.

From time to time we may partner or enter into arrangements with another party to provide specific benefits and/or services to our clients. We will provide to such partners the information that we believe is reasonably necessary for them to provide such benefits or services to you. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from our partners or us, you may express your preference not to be so contacted by calling or e-mailing AVeS Cyber Security Administrative Offices at the contact information below informing us of your preference.

2.1 Our Security Measures to Protect Information

To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information you transmit through use of this Site, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards (e.g., we encrypt many of our online services using SSL). We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personally identifiable information to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. Also, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees’ privacy responsibilities.
