Skurio Cloud Services

We operate a number of Digital Risk Protection SaaS solutions, collectively called Skurio Cloud Services. Skurio Cloud Services automatically alerts our customers to information security breaches relating to their data.

To identify breaches Skurio constantly monitors and collects a wide range of information from surface, Deep and Dark Web sources including Tor sites, IRC chatrooms, and social and text repository sites like Pastebin.

Skurio is primarily seeking to identify threats and leaks of information relating to our customers such as:

  • Staff details;
  • Usernames and passwords;
  • Trade secrets and commercial information; and
  • Intellectual property;

Due to the wide range of information it collects to effectively identify breaches, Skurio Cloud Services may routinely collect data that includes personal data, special category personal data or criminal offence data.

This personal data includes personal data relating to the staff of our customers and any other personal data that is included in the sources Skurio monitors.

Skurio Cloud Services alerts our customers when it identifies personal data or other information relating to them. Our customers can then access this personal data or other information and decide how to use it.

 

OUR PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA:

People who use Our Site

We use personal data relating to people who use Our Site for the purposes of administering, developing and promoting our business.

Our legal ground for using the personal data we collect relating to people who visit Our Site is that doing so is necessary for the legitimate interests of our business. We will not use personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests where an individual’s interests and rights override our business interests.

Our customers and people we work with

We use personal data relating to our customers and people we work with for the purposes of administering, developing and promoting our business.

If you are an individual who has a contract with us, our primary ground for using personal data relating to you will be for the performance of the contract. If you do not provide the personal data we need to perform the contract, we may not be able to provide services to you. We may also use personal data relating to you separately from the performance of the contract where doing so is necessary for the legitimate interests of our business or the legitimate interests of a third party such as our customers. We will not use personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests where your interests and rights override the legitimate interests we have identified.

If you are an individual who we work with but do not have a direct contract with (for example, employees of our customers or services providers), our legal ground for using personal data relating to you is that doing so is necessary for legitimate interests of our business or the legitimate interests of a third party such as our customers. We will not use personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests where your interests and rights override the legitimate interests we have identified.

Skurio Cloud Services

Skurio uses personal data for the purposes of identifying breaches and other digital risks.

We will not use personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests where your interests and rights override the legitimate interests we have identified.

Where a public body uses Skurio Cloud Services as a customer, the legal ground may be for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or official authority.

Where Skurio Cloud Services collects special category or criminal offence personal data, our legal ground is that doing so is necessary for the purposes of:

  • The establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and/or
  • Preventing or detecting unlawful acts, for reasons of substantial public interest.

Legal obligations

Separately from the legitimate interests of our business and the performance of contracts we have with individuals, we will also use personal information when we are required to do so by law.  Where that is the case, our legal ground is that the use of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
