In December 2019, we acted quickly to meet browser store standards and are now compliant with browser extension requirements for our online security extensions. At the same time, we completely discontinued the practice of using any data from the browser extensions for any other purpose than the core security engine, including sharing with our subsidiary Jumpshot.

We ensure that Jumpshot does not acquire personal identification information, including name, email address or contact details. Users have always had the ability to opt-out of sharing data with Jumpshot. As of July 2019, we had already begun implementing an explicit opt-in choice for all new downloads of our AV, and we are now also prompting our existing free users to make an opt-in or opt-out choice, a process which will be completed in February 2020.
Our Privacy Policy details the protections we put in place for all our users. Users can also choose to adjust their privacy levels using the broad range of settings available in our products, including control over any data sharing at any time. We voluntarily comply with the GDPR and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) privacy requirements across our entire global user base.
We have a long track record of protecting users’ devices and data against malware, and we understand and take seriously the responsibility to balance user privacy with the necessary use of data for our core security products.


在2019年12月，我们迅速采取行动，以满足浏览器商店标准，现在符合我们的在线安全扩展的浏览器扩展要求。与此同时，我们完全停止了将来自浏览器扩展的数据用于核心安全引擎之外的任何其他目的的做法，包括与我们的子公司Jumpshot共享数据。

我们确保Jumpshot不会获取个人身份信息，包括姓名、电子邮件地址或联系方式。用户可以通过Jumpshot选择不共享数据。从2019年7月开始，我们已经开始为我们的AV的所有新下载实施明确的选择，我们现在也鼓励我们现有的免费用户做出选择，这个过程将会在2020年2月完成。

我们的隐私政策详细说明了我们为所有用户提供的保护。用户还可以选择使用我们产品中提供的隐私设置来调整隐私级别，包括随时控制任何数据共享。我们自愿遵守GDPR和加州消费者隐私法案(CCPA)的隐私要求在我们的整个全球用户基础。

我们在保护用户的设备和数据免受恶意软件侵害方面有着悠久的历史，我们理解并认真对待在我们的核心安全产品中平衡用户隐私和必要数据使用的责任。
