Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how ThreatSense ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our static website, https://dersett.github.io/Small_ITBusiness and subscribe to our Intrusion Detection System (IDS) service.
As this website is created solely for a university assignment and focuses on a minimal data collection approach, we aim for the highest transparency regarding your privacy.
1. Information We Collect
The only personal information we collect is your email address when you subscribe to our IDS service. We do not collect names, payment information, physical addresses, IP addresses, or any other personally identifiable information.
2. How We Collect Information
We collect your email address directly through a subscription form on our website.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your email address solely for the following purposes:
-
To deliver information related to your IDS subscription (e.g., confirmation of subscription, updates on the IDS, access details)
-
To communicate with you regarding the university assignment (e.g., for feedback, surveys related to the project)
-
To send occasional updates or announcements related to the IDS service for the purpose of this academic project
4. Data Retention
We will retain your email address only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, specifically for the duration of this university assignment and any related academic activities. Once the assignment is completed and no longer requires the data, or if you request its deletion, we will securely remove your email address from our records.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your email address with any third parties for marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purposes. Your email address will only be accessible by the ThreatSense members directly involved in this university assignment.
6. Your Rights
Even with minimal data collection, you have certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the email address we hold about you
- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete email addresses
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we delete your email address from our records
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent to receive communications from us at any time by contacting us directly
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
7. Security of Your Information
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your email address from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Given this is a university assignment, the target audience is assumed to be university-level students or faculty. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
9. "Do Not Track" Disclosure
We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals. As we only collect email addresses directly and do not use third-party tracking technologies for behavioral advertising, this is not currently relevant to our practices.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting the information we collect.
