Privacy PolicyJust as we are concerned with your computer’s security, we are also concerned with your online security. Part of that security is your online privacy. At PC Data Security, we respect your right to privacy.

This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information received and collected by www.pcdatasecurity.com and how it is used.

PC Data Security will disclose user information only when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or when disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to others or interfering with PC Data Security’s rights or property.

The only personal information collected on this website is that which is gathered on our Contact form. In this form, fields are provided so that users can submit questions or comments and provide contact information including name and email address. We collect this personal information so that we can respond to these inquiries, comments, and questions, or to administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature.

And as stated above, we also may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, including by search warrant, subpoena, or court order.

We also collect non-personally identifiable information on this website. However, we do not merge any of the personal information collected via our contact form with anonymous data collected on our website.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13.
