Based on Your Information and communication preferences we may send you marketing information about Veritas products, services and events, including serving you related advertisements from our trusted third parties.

We operate online forums on our websites to assist you in using our products, services and events and to allow you to discuss technical issues and share your experiences. Any information that you provide in these public forums is not confidential and may be read, collected and used by other forum users. To request removal of Your Information from a forum, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below.

We are a global company and may store and process Your Information in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers to deliver our products, services and events.
Transfers of Your Information outside of the original country of origin will only occur when we are satisfied that the transfer destination provides an adequate level of protection for personal information and/or appropriate safeguards are in place to protect it. Transfers outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA") are subject to the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission such as a data adequacy finding.

Your Information may be stored on servers anywhere Veritas or our vendors operate.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Your Information from misuse, unauthorised, accidental or unlawful access or disclosure, loss, alteration, damage or destruction. These measures include but are not limited to organisational, physical and technological safeguards such as processing data within secure facilities, utilising end point protection and encryption tools whilst ensuring our employees undergo mandatory privacy and security training.
