Where you are a member of staff at a CyberArk Customer or Partner and you register for a CyberArk event, this information may be shared with that Customer or Partner.
We may also use or disclose personal data with affiliated CyberArk entities, Partners and Resellers who help us to distribute our services, in the event of a merger / sale / change in control / business reorganization, or if required by applicable law or if we reasonably believe that doing so is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, legal process or governmental authority. Unless we are prohibited by law from doing so, we will use reasonable efforts to give you notice to enable you to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action.
We may transfer your information if we sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, undergo a reorganization, bankruptcy, or liquidation; or otherwise undertake a business transaction or sell some or all of our assets.

We will retain your personal data for such periods of times required or permitted by law or subject to our retention policies as may be in place from time to time. CyberArk takes the following considerations into account in order to determine the retention period:
- The time required to retain personal data to fulfill business purposes, including providing products and services

We will maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of your personal data processed by us as part of your use of our products/services, our Websites, and any other aspects of our business as described in this Privacy Notice. If we change our safeguards, we will not materially decrease overall security. However, no method of data security is 100% effective. Therefore, we cannot guarantee or warrant its absolute security.

Depending on your location (e.g., if you are a California resident or in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or European Economic Area) and on the laws that apply to you (e.g., CCPA or GDPR), you may be entitled to some or all of the following rights:
The right to access – You have the right to request CyberArk for copies of your personal data, which includes the right to confirm whether your personal data is being processed.

The right to erasure/deletion – You have the right to request that CyberArk erase/delete your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to restrict processing – You have the right to request that CyberArk restrict the processing of your personal data, when: (a) you contest the accuracy of your personal data, for a period allowing CyberArk to verify its accuracy; (b) you believe personal data has been unlawfully processed and you wish to restrict processing rather than delete it; (c) CyberArk no longer needs the personal data but you require to keep it in order to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or (d) you exercise your right to object to the processing (below) for a period allowing CyberArk to consider whether your legitimate grounds override CyberArk’s.
The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to the processing of a part or all of your personal data at any time. When relating to processing for marketing purposes, you have an absolute right to object; while for other purposes, the existence of the right depends on what lawful basis the processing relies on and on the existence of our compelling legitimate grounds to continue the processing.
The right to data portability – You have the right to request that CyberArk transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions. This includes receiving your personal data in a portable, structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format that can be sent to another entity.
The right not to be discriminated against – You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of your privacy rights, which includes us not: (i) denying you goods or services; (ii) charging you different prices or rates, including through the use of discounts or imposing penalties; (iii) providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; (iv) suggesting you will receive a different price or a different level or quality of goods or services; and (v) retaliating against you for exercising your privacy rights.
If allowed by applicable laws, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time when CyberArk processes your personal data based on your consent. However, withdrawal does not affect the legitimacy and effectiveness of how we process your personal data based on your consent before the withdrawal is made.
The right to appeal the outcome of a request you make by emailing [email protected].
Although we will make reasonable efforts to address your requests, we reserve the right to refuse a request if it is unfounded or not eligible under applicable law. We may require, as pre-requisite to fulfilling any request, to verify your identity through information or identification to ensure that all data subjects’ privacy is protected and that we have the information we need to evaluate your request. We may charge you a small fee for the exercise of some of rights under conditions permitted by applicable laws.
You may exercise your privacy rights through an authorized agent. If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that the agent has valid authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please email us at [email protected].
While we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach an external regulator, you can contact a data protection supervisory authority in any of the countries in which CyberArk is established and/or where you are based, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom, and lodge a complaint. You can obtain the contact information for all EEA data protection authorities at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
To opt-out of receiving marketing or promotional communications from CyberArk, you can unsubscribe in any marketing email you receive, complete this form, or email [email protected]. Please note that if you are an existing customer or partner then we may need to retain business contact information in order to provide you with CyberArk services and contact you as needed to fulfill contracts. However, your information will not be used for general marketing once you make a request.
We will make periodic updates to our Privacy Notice on this page and will note the date the then-existing version takes effect at the bottom of the notice. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact [email protected].
How We Use Cookies & Tracking Technologies.
We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and other tracking technologies that may collect Personal Data on our Website, portals, mobile application, and emails. We may use these technologies to provide our online and communication services, including to maintain and improve our Website, customize and enhance your experience on our Website, provide customer support, detect and prevent security risks, personalize advertisements, and conduct analytics.
What are cookies, web beacons, pixels, and tracking technologies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes a unique identifier that is downloaded on your device to remember your preferences or webpage actions. Cookies are created when your browser loads a website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website on the same device, the website will recognize that you have visited before and, in some cases, tailor the content to your prior visits. We use both session-based and persistent cookies. Session-based cookies exist only during a single session and disappear from your device when you close your browser or turn off the device. Persistent cookies remain on your device. Find out more about the use of cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
In addition to cookies, we use other technologies with a similar purpose which allow us to monitor and improve our Website. For example, web beacons and pixels are small electronic files that are used on websites to collect information about how users interact with content and to gather usage and performance data. Tracking technologies have the ability to process information related to your access and use of our Website.
These technologies may collect log data about your device and software, including your IP address, device ID, geolocation, unique identification, the areas on the Website that you visit, the content you interact with, and the date and time of your visit. We have described the types of cookies we use below. When we talk about cookies, this term includes these similar technologies.

Third parties
In addition, we also use third parties to help us implement and use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. Your use of our Website may result in some cookies being stored that are not controlled by us. This may occur when a Website you visit makes use of a third party analytics or marketing automation/management tool or includes content displayed from a third party website. In some cases, we link the information gathered by cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies with the personal information third parties collect to tailor our Website and communications so they are relevant to a user’s interests and to personalize advertisements you see on other websites. The third parties’ uses of cookies are subject to their own Privacy Notices (not ours).
