When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business reason to keep your personal data, your personal data will either be securely disposed of, or de-identified through an appropriate anonymization means, such as aggregation, truncation, or one-way hashing so it is no longer identifiable as your personal data.</p> <strong>Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Data Among NortonLifeLock Entities and to Third-Party Vendors</strong> <p>We are a global company and process personal data in many countries. As part of our business, your personal data may be transferred to NortonLifeLock and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates in the United States, and to subsidiaries and third-party vendors of NortonLifeLock located worldwide.

Tracking Technologies</strong> <p> <strong>Cookies</strong> </p> <p>A cookie is a commonly used automated data collection tool. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device by websites that you visit or HTML-formatted emails you open, to make websites work, or work more efficiently. We and our partners use cookies and other similar tracking technologies such as Web Beacons, JavaScript, clear GIFs, pixel tags, HTML5, and Flash Local Storage Objects on our websites or emails to:</p> <ul> <li>Enable the proper functioning of our websites and the proper delivery of legitimate electronic communications;</li> <li>Tailor information presented to you based on your browsing preferences, such as language and geographical region;</li> <li>Collect statistics regarding your website usage;</li> <li>Provide us with business and marketing information. and</li> <li>In some cases, to enable a third party to deliver future advertising for our Services to you when you visit certain websites owned by third parties.</li> </ul> <p>We use different kinds of cookies:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Essential cookies</strong> are necessary to provide you with Services and features available through our websites. Without these cookies, services you may need, such as shopping carts or e-billing, cannot be provided.</li> <li> <strong>Advertising cookies and tracking scripts</strong> are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly delivered and, in some cases, featuring ads based on your interests.&nbsp;</li> <li> <strong>Social Media cookies</strong> collect data regarding social media interactions.</li> <li> <strong>Analytics cookies</strong> collect data that is either used in aggregate form to help us understand how the website is being used or to understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.</li> <li> <strong>Performance and Functionality cookies</strong> collect data that is used to help make the user experience better on our websites.</li> </ul> <p>The cookies we use include “session” cookies that are erased when you leave our websites, or they may be “persistent" cookies that remain on your computer’s hard drive after you leave the site, in preparation for your next visit to our websites.</p> <p>If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may be able to refuse them by not agreeing to the use of them upon entering the website. If you do so, we may be unable to offer you some of our functionalities, Services, or support. If you have previously visited our websites, you may also have to delete any existing cookies from your browser. If you would like to view or manage the cookies we use, please see our cookie banner which is displayed when you first access our website, or the “privacy settings” tab located on the lower right hand of our websites.</p> <p> <strong>Third-Party Data Collection</strong> </p> <p>Cookies may also be placed on our websites by third parties to deliver tailored information and content that may be of interest to you, such as promotions or offerings, when you visit third-party websites after you have left ours. We do not permit these third parties to collect personal data about you on our sites beyond such cookies (e.g., email address) unless such data is provided to the third party in their role as a service provider acting solely on our behalf.<strong> </strong> </p> <p> <strong>Social Media Features and Widgets</strong> </p> <p>Our websites include social media features, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button, or interactive mini-programs that run on our sites. These features are usually recognizable by their third-party brand or logo and may collect your IP address or other personal data, including which page you are visiting on our websites, and set a cookie to enable the feature to work properly. Any collection of information through such third-party feature is governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.<strong> </strong> </p> <p> <strong>Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms.</strong> </p> <p>Some mobile and web browsers transmit “do-not-track” signals. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. We currently do not respond to these signals.<strong> <u> </u> </strong> </p> <strong>Automated Individual Decision-Making and Profiling</strong> <p>Where NortonLifeLock processes network traffic data for the purpose of network and information security based on our or our customers’ legitimate interest as outlined in the corresponding section of this Statement, automated decisions concerning data elements may occasionally be made. This could involve assigning relative cybersecurity reputation scores to IP addresses and URLs based on objective cyber-threat indicators measured by our and our partners’ cyber-threat detection engines. Such indicators may be, for instance, the determination that malicious or otherwise harmful contents are hosted at a given URL or are coming from a given IP address. Such automatically assigned reputation scores may be leveraged by you, by NortonLifeLock, by our partners, and by other customers to detect, block, and mitigate the identified cyber threats. They could therefore result in our Services blocking network traffic coming from or going to such URLs and IP addresses. This processing is intended only to protect you, NortonLifeLock, our partners, and our other customers from cyber threats. If you consider that such automated processing is unduly affecting you in a significant way, please contact us as explained above (“Contact Us”) to raise your concerns and to seek our help in finding a satisfactory solution.<strong> <u> </u> </strong> </p> <strong>Children’s Privacy</strong> <p>Our websites are not directed to, nor do we knowingly collect data from, minors (as defined by applicable law) except where explicitly described otherwise in the privacy notices of Services designed specifically for purposes such as to assist you by providing child online protection features. In such cases, we will only collect, and process personal data related to any child under 13 years of age that you choose to disclose to us or otherwise instruct us to collect and process. Please refer to the Product Specific Privacy Statements for additional information.</p> <strong>Changes to this Statement</strong> <p>We reserve the right to revise or modify this Statement. In addition, we may update this Privacy Statement to reflect changes to our data practices. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, process, and/or share your personal data, we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this website prior to the change becoming effective. In the case of a material change to our personal data processing practices, any such change will only apply on a going-forward basis. We will not process the personal data currently in our possession in a materially different way without your prior consent.

Please review the applicable privacy statements on any co-branded site you visit, as they may differ from ours.</p> <strong>Disclaimer</strong> <p>This Privacy Statement does not apply to NortonLifeLock affiliates: (1) Avira Operations GmbH &amp.
