Welcome to Tall Poppy (“Tall Poppy“, “we“, “us“, or “our“). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy (“Policy“), or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at privacy [at] tallpoppy.com. This Policy in combination with our Cookie Policy, Terms of Use (the “Terms“) and/or any other agreement with us to which you may be subject forms a legal agreement between you (“you,” or “your“, refers to you or any party or entity that you represent) and Tall Poppy (including its corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions, as may change from time to time) with respect to your use of our Services (as defined below). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms.

Introduction

In this day and age, online threats and the harm that results are far too prevalent and wide-reaching. Company employees and service providers are often the target of some third party’s malicious acts, which can cause a great deal of damage with relatively minimal effort. Tall Poppy helps to minimize such threats and malicious acts by providing security awareness training delivered in person and/or via the Tall Poppy Site (“Trainings“) that helps employees and service providers stay ahead of the online threats that could harm them (“Threats“), while also providing security incident response services (“Response Services“) to those already harmed by such Threats, in an effort to mitigate the negative effects of security incidents (“Incidents“). We refer to the Trainings and Response Services jointly in this Policy as the “Services“.

Often, we are engaged by companies to provide our Services to company employees and service providers. As such, we collect, manage, and use a wide range of information, both personal and non-personal, as further described herein. We take your privacy very seriously—in fact, your privacy is our business. In this Policy, we describe how we collect, manage, and use your information. In this Policy, we also provide you with information concerning the rights you have over the information that we collect, manage and use. We hope that you take some time to read through this Policy carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this Policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Site and Services.

Please read this Policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.  

Information That You Provide To Us And That We Discover About You

We collect personal information that you provide to us, and that any authorized third parties or other sources (such as your employer or the subscriber providing you access to our Site and Services) provide to us. The personal information that we collect from you depends on the context of your interactions with and use of the Site and Services. The personal information we collect may include the following:

• Name and Contact Data. We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other similar contact data.
• Threat and Incident Data. Given the nature of the Services we provide, often we must collect information concerning the Incidents or Threats affecting you. Sometimes this information will be data that you share with us in order to help us investigate, and sometimes it will be data that we find online in investigating Incidents or Threats. Each Incident and Threat may involve a wide array of your personal information, such as name, email address, postal address, phone number, similar contact data, account usernames, account passwords, device information, payment information, and otherwise. The reality is that we cannot possibly predict all the types of personal information we may uncover when dealing with an Incident or Threat affecting you.
• Credentials. To allow you to sign in to the Tall Poppy site, we collect your Tall Poppy site usernames, the Tall Poppy site passwords you set, the password hints you choose, and similar security information used for authentication and account access to the Tall Poppy Site.
• Payment Information. If you provide us with a method of payment that is personally linked to you (such as a company credit card in your name), we collect data necessary to process your payment (e.g., account number, security code, expiration date, etc., cumulatively, the “Payment Info“). Payment Info may be stored in our intracompany records, and it also may be stored by third payment processors with which we work, if any. If we utilize any third payment processors, you should review their privacy policy to ensure you understand and agree to their use of your information.

We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?

The Site may contain advertisements from third parties or links to third party content that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, online services or mobile applications.

Given the nature of the Services we provide, we may keep your personal information for up to 2 years past the termination of your account or your use of the Services; we may keep your personal information longer if required by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).  When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Site is at your own risk.

DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age.  By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18.  If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.  If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under the age of 18, please contact us at privacy [at] tallpoppy.com.
