Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 24, 2018

At First Light Solutions, we care about the privacy of your data and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you and why, what we do with that information, and how we handle that information. We'll also explain what choices you have with respect to the information.

Applicability of this privacy policy

This Privacy Policy applies to First Light Solutions desktop, mobile and web applications (collectively, the "Products"), First Light Solutions.com and other First Light Solutions websites (collectively, the "Sites") and other interactions (e.g., customer service inquiries, user conferences, etc.) you may have with First Light Solutions. If you do not agree with the terms, do not access or use the Products, Sites or any other aspect of First Light Solutions' business.

This policy applies to the Company's employees, contractors and officers.

The Company has a contract with all Data Processors that it uses in compliance with Article 28 & Article 29 of the GDPR, and ensures that all Data Processors are compliant with Data Protection Legislation.

The policy does not apply to third party services. Where third party services are used, and the third party is not a Data Processor, no Relevant Data (as defined below) is shared with them, or the Relevant Data has been anonymized such that the GDPR does not apply. Information collected by third parties is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

In addition, a separate agreement governs delivery, access and use of the Products (the "User Agreement").

This policy applies to Relevant Data received and processed only.

This log data may include the IP address, browser type and settings, the date and time of use, information about browser configuration, language preferences, and cookie data.

Products and Sites Specific Data. This is information about the First Light Solutions Sites and/or Products you use and how you use them. We may also obtain data from our third-party partners and service providers to analyze how users use our Sites and/or Products.

What are cookies and how are they used?

This information enables our website to receive information from your computer to provide a more tailored and user-friendly experience for you. For example, if you login to our site we may be able to personalize your experience by recognizing your name when you return to the site, save your login and your password, or enable a shopping cart. Our newsletters may use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts (for example, tracking the clicks on the links in our emails and newsletters) or we may use cookies to determine the number of times website visitors have accessed a particular area or page on the website. Most web browsers have a function that allows you to delete existing cookies on your device or you can set your browser option so that your device does not receive or accept cookies.

Third Party Data

First Light Solutions may receive data about Site visitors, marketing campaigns and other matters related to our business from affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners or others that we use to make our own information better or more useful. This data may be combined with Other Information we collect and might include aggregate level data, such as which IP addresses correspond to zip codes or countries.

Data storage, transfer, retention, and deletion

Data Storage and Transfers

Information submitted to First Light Solutions will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States. When you use the Products on your computing device, user content you save will be stored locally on that device and synced with our servers. If you post or transfer any Information to or through our Sites and/or Products, you are agreeing to such information, including Personal Data and user content, being hosted and accessed in the United States.

Duration of Information Storage

You can remove your Personal Data from First Light Solutions at any time by emailing us with the respective request: support@firstlightsolutions.com. However, we may keep some of your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention and to comply with our legal obligations including tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.

Safeguards

When you give us personal information, we take steps to make sure that it's treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are sent normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data in transit. This is commonly referred to as transport layer security ("TLS") or secure socket layer ("SSL") technology.

Once we receive your data, we protect it on our servers using a combination of technical, physical, and logical security safeguards. The security of the data stored locally in any of our Products installed on your computing device requires that you make use of the security features of your device. We recommend that you take the appropriate steps to secure all computing devices that you use in connection with our Site and Products.

The Company takes the security of your data very seriously and works to protect your data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access or disclosure.

All staff and officers who handle Relevant Data are aware of this policy and have been given training in how to correctly collect, process, store and delete data. The Company holds a log of when staff training was undertaken and updates it on an annual basis.

Data Breaches

All breaches will be reported to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours, unless the data was anonymized or encrypted or if it has a particularly high risk.

Breaches of this policy by staff, contractors, officers of the Company will be dealt with under the Company's grievance and disciplinary policy and may lead to a disciplinary sanction.

If First Light Solutions learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on the Site. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.

Your Rights

First Light Solutions uses, processes, and stores Personal Data, as necessary to perform our contract with you, and based on our legitimate interests in order to provide the Products and Services. We rely on your consent to process Personal Data to send promotional emails and to place cookies on your devices. In some cases, First Light Solutions may process Personal Data pursuant to legal obligation or to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
