This Statement is effective as of June 1, 2013.Maintaining your privacy and your trust is of utmost importance to Seventh Knight. This Statement discloses the information practices for both Seventh Knight as a business as well as for its website, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. It also describes how cookies, web beacons, and other technologies may be used in our security software products. From time to time, we may supplement this Statement with additional information relating to a particular interaction we have with you.Seventh Knight, Inc. uses GlobalSign®, part of the GMO Internet Inc. group of companies, whose digital certificates protect the data and transactions for many Fortune 100 companies and for governments all around the world. The Seventh Knight website uses GlobalSign’s Extended Validation SSL providing a higher level of trust and assurance than standard SSL certificates. This proves to visitors that this site is not one of an increasing number of fraudulent websites that target online shoppers. GlobalSign's Extended Validation SSL Certificate guarantees that customers are authenticated to the highest industry standards and that your communications with the Seventh Knight website are appropriately encrypted and protected from outside intrusion.All Seventh Knight Security software products use DigiCert®’s Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate, the gold standard for code signing authentication and security. DigiCert’s EV Code Signing Certificates adhere to the CA/Browser Forum’s strict validation standards and to Microsoft’s own security specifications. DigiCert provides digital certificates to over 60,000 customers in more than 146 countries including Facebook, PayPal, Intel, Overstock.com, Wikimedia, NASA, and IBM.Code signing certificates are used by software developers to digitally sign a program to prove that it has not been altered or compromised by a third party. While software purchased from a retail store is typically considered to be relatively safe, programs downloaded from the Internet are often treated with suspicion because of the widespread proliferation of viruses and malware. With a certificate from a trusted certificate authority like DigiCert, customers are ensured that Seventh Knight Security software is free from malware, tampering, and theft. Seventh Knight, Inc. also complies with the U. S.- EU Safe Harbor framework and the U. S.-Swiss Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the U. S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from the European Union member countries and Switzerland.Your Personal Information You may choose to give us personal information directly in a variety of situations.
