By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Services.

2. Information We Collect

This data is stored securely and is only accessible to authorized users within your organization.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

4.1 Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party providers who assist in operating our Services, including cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors, analytics services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain appropriate security measures.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of VectraGuard, our users, or others.

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your information.

4.4 What We Never Do

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your scan results or vulnerability findings with anyone outside your organization without your explicit authorization. We do not use your security data for advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. Scan results and security reports are retained according to your subscription plan settings, which you can configure within the platform. Upon account termination, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes. Anonymized and aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely to improve our threat intelligence capabilities.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical, administrative, and organizational security measures to protect your information, including:
  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication
  • Regular security assessments and penetration testing of our own infrastructure
  • Employee security training and background checks for personnel with data access
  • Continuous monitoring, logging, and incident response procedures
  • Physical security controls at our data center facilities

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and enable multi-factor authentication on your account.
