COMMITMENT TO THE GDPR AND DATA PROTECTION

Commitment to the GDPR and Data Protection

Malwarebytes believes that everyone has the right to a malware free existence. We also believe, just as strongly, that everyone has the right to privacy and control over their personal data.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) became effective on May 25, 2018.  At the heart of GDPR is the belief that privacy is a fundamental right.  Malwarebytes is committed to complying with GDPR, as well as applicable laws and regulations related to data privacy, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). As a security company, we take seriously our responsibilities to protect and maintain the trust of those who have entrusted us with their personal data.

Malwarebytes has implemented policies, documentation, practices, and processes required by the GDPR, including, but not limited to:

  • Training our workforce on the GDPR;
  • Implementing procedures to process requests from data subjects;
  • Performing data protection impact assessments;
  • Investing in and improving our security practices;
  • Maintaining a transparent Privacy Policy detailing how Malwarebytes collects, uses, shares and secures personal data; AND
  • Ensuring that third parties with whom we share personal data to help provide our services demonstrate an ongoing commitment to GDPR and CCPA compliance, including by performing security diligence and having appropriate contractual terms in place.
