Huntress Labs Incorporated ("Huntress Labs" or "We" or "Us") has created this Statement in order to inform and disclose its data collection and dissemination practices for the Huntress service. This Statement contains numerous details describing the steps we take to respect your privacy concerns.
Please read this document in its entirety. It provides important information that you should be familiar with before using Huntress Labs' software and services. We reserve the right to modify this Statement at any time. A current version can always be found at https://huntress.io/privacy.html
By using Huntress, you help us identify new threats and provide better protection for all Huntress Labs customers. The information collected is used by Huntress Labs to enhance its service and to further advance solutions against malicious software.
Data collection is integral to the Huntress solution. Do not use the Huntress service if you do not agree to provide the data required for Huntress to properly function.
Huntress Labs may be subject to the laws of several jurisdictions because its services may be used in different jurisdictions, including the United States of America. Huntress Labs shall disclose information without your permission when required by law, or in good-faith belief that such action is necessary to investigate or protect against harmful activities to Huntress Labs guests, visitors, associates, property or to others. As mentioned above, laws related to data and information processed by Huntress may vary by country.
Huntress Labs may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide some information to appropriate governmental authorities. If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we shall provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate legal documentation. Huntress Labs may also provide information to law enforcement to protect its property and the health and safety of individuals as permitted by statute.
We may collect both personally identifiable information ("PII") and non-personally identifiable information ("Non-PII"). PII is information that is either: (1) expressly provided by you, such as your name, or (2) information that can be used either alone or in combination with other information to personally identify you, such as your email address, phone number, and user name. Non-PII is all information that is not PII or is information that was PII but which we modify and/or aggregate with other data in order to make it Non-PII.
We use PII to shape our external communication and for messaging efforts. Other than the exceptions noted below, we do not share PII with third parties.
Our servers automatically record information about how a person ("User") uses our software or services ("Log Data"). Log Data may include a User's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, web page that the User was visiting before accessing our server, search terms, and the pages or features of our software or services accessed by the User and the time spent there. We may share Log Data with web analytics service providers.
We may engage third-party service providers to administer and provide our services. We may provide PII to such third parties only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf. We require such third parties to agree not to disclose your PII or use your PII for any other purpose.
Information that we collect from Users, including PII, is considered a business asset. Accordingly, if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, or if we are acquired, e.g., as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your PII may be disclosed or transferred to the third-party acquirer in connection with the transaction.

Huntress Labs collects and processes the data described above along with other information collected by the system in order to analyze and identify potential security risks, and to improve the ability of Huntress Labs' services to detect malicious software and other types of computer security threats to provide the best possible level of protection to Huntress Labs' customers in the future.

The files can be analyzed by automatic tools and security analysts to detect malicious code and to improve antivirus engines and other security solutions. Huntress Labs only provides the file--no other information about the file is provided.

We reserve the right to send infrequent alert messages to users to inform them of specific changes that may impact their ability to use our services that they have previously signed up for. We also reserve the right to contact you if compelled to do so as part of a legal proceeding or if there has been a violation of any applicable licensing, warranty or purchase agreements.
Huntress Labs is retaining these rights because in limited cases we feel that we may need the right to contact you as a matter of law or regarding matters that may be important to you. These rights do not allow us to contact you to market new or existing services if you have asked us not to do so, and issuance of these types of communications is rare.
