1. Introduction
Armadin, Inc. ("Armadin," "we," "our," or "us") is an AI-native cybersecurity company that provides continuous offensive security services to enterprise organizations.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals whose personal information we process and to being transparent about how we collect, use, disclose and protect that information.
This Privacy Notice explains how we process personal information when you visit our website, interact with us, attend our events, communicate with us, or otherwise engage with us as a prospective or existing customer, partner, supplier or other business contact.
Our Services are designed for organizations rather than consumers. We do not offer products or services for personal, family or household use.
This Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information processed by Armadin on behalf of its customers except to the extent Armadin acts as an independent Controller as described in this Notice.
2. Scope
This Privacy Notice applies to personal information that Armadin processes as a Controller in connection with your interactions with Armadin, including when you visit our website, contact us, request information, register for events, engage with us as a customer, prospective customer, supplier, partner or other business contact, or apply for employment with Armadin.
When Armadin provides its cybersecurity Services to customers, it generally processes personal information on behalf of those customers in accordance with the applicable customer agreement and Data Processing Addendum available through Armadin's Trust Center. In those circumstances, the customer determines the purposes and means of the processing and Armadin acts as a Processor (or Service Provider under applicable U.S. privacy laws).
However, where permitted under law and the applicable customer agreement, Armadin may also process personal information as an independent Controller for certain activities necessary to operate, maintain, secure, support and improve its Services and business.
If you believe your personal information has been processed through one of our customers' use of the Services, you should contact that customer directly. Armadin will assist its customers where required by applicable law or its contractual commitments.
We may provide supplemental privacy notices for specific processing activities, including recruitment or employment, where required. Those notices supplement, rather than replace, this Privacy Notice.
