1. Who “we” are

When we say “ZeroFox,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Policy, we are referring to ZeroFox, Inc., a Delaware (US) corporation, however this Policy also applies to our affiliated companies, including ZeroFox UK Ltd (organized under the laws of England and Wales), ZeroFox India Pvt. Ltd. (organized under the laws of India), and ZeroFox Chile SpA (organized under the laws of Chile).

2. Who “you” are

When we say “you,” we are referring to a customer, to a visitor to our Sites or to a participant at a ZeroFox event or activity, such as conference attendee.  A “customer” is an asset or organization that has acquired a subscription to ZeroFox for Business Services (“business customer”), or an individual that has acquired a subscription to ZeroFox for Everyone Services.

3. Scope of Policy

In addition to describing our practices for collecting, using and disclosing personal information, this Policy describes the rights individuals have to control the use of their personal information.  When we say “personal information” in this Policy we are referring to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, which may include the individual’s name, identification number, location data, email address, social media handle or other online identifier.  If you use the Services through a business customer (like your employer), the terms of the customer’s contract for the Services may restrict our collection or use of your personal information more than what is described in this Policy.

12. How we use information

We may use and disclose personal information described in this Policy only to:

13. Sharing information within our group and with our service providers

We are headquartered in the United States and operate internationally.  For example, certain personal information described in this Policy may be shared with our affiliated companies, ZeroFox UK Ltd, ZeroFox Chile SpA and ZeroFox India Pvt Ltd, and consequently accessible to our personnel in the United Kingdom, Chile, and India, respectively.  We also share personal information described in this Policy with third-party vendors and service providers who are working on our behalf and require access to your information to carry out that work.  For example, ZeroFox currently uses cloud services from Amazon Web Services and Google for the infrastructure of its cloud-hosted Services.  These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide services to ZeroFox and/or the Services and are bound to contractual obligations to maintain the confidentiality of your information.  Many of these service providers, like us, are headquartered in the United States and operate internationally.  Accordingly, you should be aware that your personal information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, and that those countries may have different privacy and data protection laws than where you reside.

14. Safeguarding personal information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.  However, no means of processing of personal information is 100% secure and while we comply with our legal obligations, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Information changes and retention

If you are a customer, you may update, correct or delete personal information about you (or your personnel, if a business customer) by logging into your online account and modifying your information or by emailing us. We will retain personal information that we process on behalf of our customers for as long as the customer’s account is active and as may otherwise be appropriate to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, for example to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse and enforce agreements.

16. Social media

(This paragraph applies to our public Sites, not the features or functionality of the Services.)  Our Sites may include social media features.  These features on our Sites may collect information about your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Site, and they may set a cookie to make sure the features function properly. Additional information on cookies set by social media providers is provided in our Cookie Statement. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. We also maintain presences on social media platforms. Any information, communications, or materials you submit to us via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves.  Your interactions with those features and platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.

17. Community forums and blogs

We may have public blogs or other forums on our Sites from time to time.  Any information you include in a comment on a public blog may be read, collected and used by anyone. To request removal of your personal information from our blogs or testimonials, contact us at the email address listed above. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

Our Sites and Services include links to, or integrations with, other sites and services whose privacy practices may be different from ours. If you submit personal information to any of those sites or services, your information is governed by their privacy policies.

19. Individuals under the age of 18

Neither the Sites nor the Services are intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age.  No one under age 18 may provide any information on or through the Sites or the Services.  We do not knowingly collect personal information of individuals under 18.  If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child, who is under 18, has provided us with information, he or she should contact us.

20. Notice for California residents

California Civil Code section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties.  To make such a request, please contacts us as provided in paragraph 5.


Notices for European Union Residents

21. Transfers of personal information from the European Union to the United States

As noted above, we, and many of our service providers, are headquartered in the United States and operate internationally. In addition to ensuring those providers are bound by restrictions on use and disclosure of personal information, our agreements with them also reflect the legal mechanisms in place to ensure the transfer of personal information is in compliance with European data protection law, typically EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses (also known as model clauses).

22. EU Data Processing Addendum

We are committed to only processing personal information in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection law, which may include the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”). Our business customers processing the personal information of EU residents may request our personal data processing addendum which incorporates the standard contractual clauses, in addition to (or instead of, as applicable) relying on ZeroFox’s EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (discussed in paragraph 27 below).

23. Controllers, processors and your GDPR rights

Under the GDPR, a “processor” is a person or asset that processes personal information on behalf of the controller, and the “controller” is the person or asset that determines how and why personal information is processed. This distinction recognizes that not all persons or assets involved in the processing of personal information have the same degree of responsibility.  In that vein, controllers are typically primarily responsible for managing EU residents’ exercises of their rights under GDPR (“data subject rights”).  Data subject rights include, among others, an individual’s right to access, correct, restrict processing of and/or delete his or her personal information.

24. Our role as a processor for business customers

In the case of our business customers, the Services are intended to be used and managed by the business customer.  In general, we are collecting and processing personal information in connection with a business customer’s use of the Services on behalf of that customer.  In that case, the business customer is acting as the controller and ZeroFox is acting as a processor according to the business customer’s instructions.  If you are an EU resident and believe ZeroFox is processing your personal information on behalf of a business customer, and you would like to exercise your data subject rights, please start by contacting the business customer.

25. Our role as a processor for individual customers

If you are an individual EU customer using ZeroFox for Everyone Services, you are the controller of the personal information that you process through our Services.  Individual customers may access, correct, restrict processing of and delete that personal information through the functionality of the Services.  If you have additional questions, please contact us as provided in paragraph 5.

26. Our role as a controller

In other cases, such as personal information used by ZeroFox for management of a customer’s account, invoicing and marketing, ZeroFox will be the controller with respect to personal information.  If you are an EU resident, in situations where we are the controller of your personal information and you would like to exercise your data subject rights, please contact us as provided in paragraph 5.

The GDPR requires that personal information be processed lawfully and outlines specific legal bases for processing.  We describe in paragraphs 6 through 10 above the personal information we may collect, and in paragraph 11 how we may use it.  The legal bases under the GDPR for those uses depends on the personal information collected and the context of its collection.  ZeroFox has determined a basis for each use, including:

28. Data Privacy Framework

ZeroFox participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-EU Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”).

29. HR Data

This Policy also reflects the principles under which ZeroFox manages the processing of personal information that it receives from its employees in the EU in support of its human resources operations.  ZeroFox has committed to cooperate with EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)  with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of human resources data transferred from the EU in the context of the employment relationship in reliance on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

30. Onward Transfers

ZeroFox complies with the DPF for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, United Kingdom, and Switzerland including the onward transfer liability provisions. If there is a conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU – U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern.

31. Inquiries and Complaints

In compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, we are committed to resolving complaints about our collection or use of EU residents’ personal information.  For inquiries or complaints regarding this Policy, we request that EU residents first contact ZeroFox as provided in paragraph 5.  You may also approach your local data protection authority (referred to under the GDPR as your supervisory authority) which can provide further information about your rights and our obligations in relation to your personal information.


Individuals and data protection supervisory authorities in the EU and the UK may contact our data protection representatives according to Articles 27 EU and UK GDPR:
