Transfer of Personal Data Outside of EEA+

Forescout and some of our affiliates and service providers are based in the United States, a country with respect to which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision. The transfers of your personal information to the United States are necessary for us to provide our sites because Forescout is located in the United States. If you do not wish to have your personal information transferred to the United States, do not initiate such transfers by using or submitting information through our sites. We also rely on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses to assure adequate protection of personal information. Forescout has undertaken a Transfer Impact Assessment to document compliance with EU Data Protection Regulations. Due to the limited nature of the personal information collected by Forescout, and our focus as a network security company providing our services mainly to other businesses, we are unlikely to be the focus of government surveillance as it regards a specific individual.

Period of Data Storage

Forescout will process your personal information: for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide you with use of sites, for legitimate purposes, in accordance with a contract, and where required or allowed under law. We retain online account related personal information unless you have requested that Forescout permanently delete your data, as described below in the “Data Subject Rights” section. When we no longer need to retain your personal information, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it, unless we need to keep your personal information to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or to preserve evidence within the statutes of limitation.
