Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
Kaspersky Lab may disclose any of the information collected if asked to do so by
a law enforcement official as required or permitted by law or in response to a
subpoena or other legal process or if we believe in good faith that we are
required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, regulation a subpoena,
or other legal process or enforceable government request. Kaspersky Lab may
also disclose personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe
that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating this Statement, the terms of your
agreements with the Company or to protect the safety of our users and the public
or under confidentiality and licensing agreements with certain third parties which
assist us in developing, operating and maintaining the Kaspersky Security
Network. In order to promote awareness, detection and prevention of Internet
security risks, Kaspersky Lab may share certain information with research
organizations and other security software vendors. Kaspersky Lab may also
make use of statistics derived from the information collected to track and publish
reports on security risk trends.
Choices available to you
Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is optional. You can activate and
deactivate the Kaspersky Security Network service at any time by visiting the
Feedback settings under your Kaspersky Lab product’s options page. Please
note, however, if you should choose to withhold requested information or data,
we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon
the collection of this data.
Once the service period of your Kaspersky Lab product ends, some of the
functions of the Kaspersky Lab software may continue to operate, but information
will no longer be sent automatically to Kaspersky Lab.
We also reserve the right to send infrequent alert messages to users to inform
them of specific changes that may impact their ability to use our services that
they have previously signed up for. We also reserve the right to contact you if
compelled to do so as part of a legal proceeding or if there has been a violation
of any applicable licensing, warranty and purchase agreements.
Kaspersky Lab is retaining these rights because in limited cases we feel that we
may need the right to contact you as a matter of law or regarding matters that
may be important to you. These rights do not allow us to contact you to market
new or existing services if you have asked us not to do so, and issuance of these
types of communications is rare.
