California Consumer Privacy Act Addendum
We at McAfee, LLC, including our affiliates ("McAfee", "we", "us", "our"), care deeply about privacy, security, and online safety, all of which are a significant part of our essential mission: to protect users of our products and services ("you" and "your") from the risks of theft, disruption, and unauthorized access to their online information and activities. This Privacy Notice ("Notice") is designed to inform you about how we collect, use, and share your personal data through our website (our "Site"), products, services, and web-based and mobile applications (collectively, the "Services") or when you interact with us.

McAfee sells products and services directly to consumers (you can find more information about those products here: https://www.mcafee.com/en-in/consumer-products.html). This Privacy Notice applies both to the information we collect from you or your device when you download one of our Services and to the information we collect when one of our distribution partners installs our Services on your device.

When you access or use our Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Notice and understand its contents. Your use of our Services and the Site and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice, any applicable Terms of Service (including any applicable limitations on damages and the resolution of disputes) and any applicable End User License Agreement.

As McAfee grows, our business changes, and we may update this Notice at any time as we deem appropriate to reflect those changes. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you by email, in-product notification, or as otherwise required by applicable law. It is important that you check back and make sure that you have reviewed the most current version of this Notice.

This Notice applies to all users of our Services across the world. Some users, including residents of the European Economic Area, may have additional rights depending on where they are located, which are described in this Notice.

What Kinds of Information Do We Collect?

In order to provide our services, we collect information. Some information you provide directly to us, some we collect automatically through our Services, and some is collected from third parties. In this Notice, "Personal Data" refers to data that could be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify you as an individual.

We collect information you provide to us . For example, we collect information when you purchase a product or service, create an account, fill out a form, participate in a contest or promotion, request customer service, or otherwise communicate with us.

The types of Personal Data you may provide include:

Contact information (such as name, email address, mailing address, and phone number);
Payment information (including payment card numbers and associated identifiers, billing address, and bank account information);
Pictures you may choose to upload to the Services, such as profile pictures or “avatars”; and
Account log-in credentials (which for some Services may include social network credentials).
We may also collect other information from or about you, such as information about what products you purchased, your interests, and demographic information. You may also provide us with additional data. For example, when you use our identity monitoring services, you will have the option to provide your social media log-in information so that we can monitor your social media accounts, or as further set out in the specific products and features below.

We automatically collect information about your interactions with the Services as well as devices on which the Services are installed. In some cases, we automatically collect information about other devices connected to the same network as the device on which the Services are installed.

For example, we may collect and use the following:

Information about the products you looked at or searched for and the Services you used, including time spent and other statistical information.
Details about your computers, devices, applications, and networks, including internet protocol (IP) address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, Bluetooth device IDs, mobile device ID, mobile advertising identifiers, MAC address, IMEI, Advertiser IDs, and other device identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer or device when you access the Internet, browser type and language, language preferences, battery level, on/off status, geo-location information, hardware type, operating system, Internet service provider, pages that you visit before and after using the Services, the date and time of your visit, the amount of time you spend on each page, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Services, and other actions taken through use of the Services such as preferences. We may collect this information through our Services or through other methods of web analysis.
When you use our products to protect your mobile device, we collect geolocation data of the device on which the product is installed.
Details about your internet, app, or network usage (including URLs or domain names of websites you visit, information about the applications installed on your device, or traffic data); and performance information, crash logs, and other aggregate or statistical information.
Contents of SMS messages, in order to identify phishing attempts and other potential threats.
In order to provide you with our Services, including to detect and evaluate malware and spam, we may scan, collect, and store data from your files, including emails, attachments, email addresses, metadata, and URLs and traffic data.

We collect this information through our Services and through technologies such as cookies, web beacons or web bugs, and clear GIFs. Please see our Cookie Notice at https://www.mcafee.com/en-in/consumer-support/policy/legal.html#cookie for more information about the cookies and similar technologies that we use and the choices available to you.

Note that if you use our VPN services, our VPN servers do not look at or log any information that you send or receive on the internet.

Specific Products and Features

In addition to the above, we also collect additional data if you choose to use one of the products or features listed below.

Credit Monitoring Services. If you use our Credit Monitoring Services, we may collect limited credit-related information: your credit bucket, credit factors, and credit alerts received. We use this credit-related information only for the purposes of user experience and product improvement.
Personal Data Cleanup . If you choose to use this feature, we will regularly scan a list of publicly available data broker sites and tell you which have your data so that you can take steps to try to remove it. To provide you with this service, we will collect addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, the names of your relatives, and information related to your education and employment, if this information is available on those sites. We only collect this data to display to you and will delete it if your subscription expires and you choose not to renew.
Online Account Cleanup. If you choose to use this feature, we or our service provider, acting on our behalf, will use the Personal Data we collect from you (your email address and the name associated with that email address) to access information from your email in order to find online accounts associated with your email address and help you delete them. The information we collect includes the subject line of emails, sender's email address, timestamps of email messages received related to the online accounts, the existence of email attachments, and the first line of the email message as presented in your mailbox. We do not otherwise process or collect the content of any email message in your mailbox during this process, nor do we collect any email messages. We will not disclose the information we access in your email mailbox. In some cases, we may use the specific interactions between you and the online account companies with regard to your deletion requests (in a redacted form and without any Personal Data) to train our personal data assistant, so we can provide you with better suggested answers for the deletion request.
Account Protection – Safe Cards. [This service is provided to you by our trusted service provider. They will collect your name, address, and date of birth in order to verify your identity.] Our payment processors will also collect and store the payment card information you choose to use as the funding source for your safe cards, as well as information related to the safe cards that you generate. For more information on safe cards, please see our Account and Payment Protection Terms of Service, which can be found at https://www.mcafee.com/en-in/consumer-support/policy/legal.html under Product Terms of Service.
McAfee WebAdvisor extension for the Firefox Browser. If you download our WebAdvisor extension and install it in your FireFox Browser, in addition to the information listed elsewhere in this notice, we may scan, collect, and store information about your web browsing activity, including URLs and traffic data, as well as metadata about files downloaded from the Internet, such as name and size.
Device Protection for Samsung Mobile Users. The general statements made in this Notice regarding the information that we may collect do not apply to this product. This is a Samsung product powered by McAfee, which means that McAfee only runs the malware scan functionality within this application. If you use this product, we generate a unique, randomized number for your device. We use these identifier numbers to ensure that we have an accurate user count, but they cannot be linked back to information about individual end users, nor be used to identify users. We do collect limited details about your device, including model name, SIM operator, operating system, and product version to better inform us as to how the product is being used. We also collect limited details about third party applications on your device, in order to operate the malware scan functionality and internally report and analyze malware, if it is detected.

Information We Collect from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from other sources and combine that information with the information we collect directly. Examples of information we may receive from other sources include: updated delivery or payment information used to correct our records; purchase or redemption information; and customer support and enrolment information. For our identity protection Consumer Products, we also may collect credit or identity information which we use to help prevent and detect fraud.

Location Information

Certain Services may request permission to access your location. Where you grant this permission, we will collect information about your location using GPS, wireless, or Bluetooth technology. You can control access to precise location information through your mobile device settings. We also may look up your IP address to determine your general location.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

To Help Protect You. When you install or use one of our Services, it will run in the background of your device or environment to help predict threats and better protect you, your devices, and your information. For example, McAfee may use information to:

Analyze data sent to/from your device(s) to isolate and identify threats, vulnerabilities, viruses, phishing attempts, suspicious activity, spam, and attacks, and communicate with you about potential threats;
Participate in threat intelligence networks, conduct research, and adapt products and services to help respond to new threats;
Encrypt your data, lockdown a device, or back-up or recover your data;
Check for Service updates and create performance reports on our Services, to ensure they are performing properly; and
Look for misuses of your data when you use our identity monitoring products.
To Run Our Business. We also use the information we collect for other business purposes, including to:

Authenticate your identity and prevent fraud with the use of a validation from third party biometric authentication resident on your device;
Analyze your behavior to measure, customize, and improve our Site and Services, including developing new products and services;
Advertise McAfee products and services that we think may be of interest to you;
Establish and manage accounts and licenses, including by collecting and processing payments and completing transactions;
Provide customer support, troubleshoot issues, manage subscriptions, and respond to requests, questions, and comments;
Communicate about, and administer participation in, special events, programs, surveys, contests, sweepstakes, and other offers and promotions;
Conduct market and consumer research and trend analyses;
Enable posting on our blogs, forums, and other public communications;
Perform accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation, and collection activities;
Prevent, detect, identify, investigate, and respond to potential or actual claims, liabilities, prohibited behavior, and criminal activity; and
Comply with and enforce legal rights, requirements, agreements, and policies.
Cookies are used to record your interactions with our Site.
Artificial Intelligence

In some cases, we use artificial intelligence ("AI") to provide services to our customers, assist our developers in creating new services and products, and provide customer support for our services. The AI features use the information we collect to improve the services we provide to you, or to improve the support we provide to you in connection with our services.

Third-Party Advertising. We work with third-party advertising companies to display or deliver ads to you while you are on our Site or using some Services. These third-party advertisers may collect data about your interaction with the Site or Services or others' sites or services to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. See our Cookie Notice at https://www.mcafee.com/en-in/consumer-support/policy/legal.html#cookie to learn more about how McAfee and these advertising partners use tracking technologies like cookies and the choices available to you. You may opt out of targeted advertising by completing our Individual Data Request form at https://www.mcafee.com/en-in/consumer-support/policy/legal/data-request.html and selecting "I would like to Opt Out of McAfee selling or sharing my personal data".

If you have consented to allow our Services to access to your location, our mobile advertising partners may use your location to target advertisements to you. You may use the location settings on your device to withdraw access to information about your location

Other Uses. We may use Personal Data for which we have a legitimate interest, such as direct marketing, individual or market research, anti-fraud protection, or any other purpose disclosed to you at the time you provide Personal Data or with your consent.

Who Do We Share Personal Data With?

Generally, we disclose the information we collect to provide the Services, to communicate with you, to advertise or promote our Services, to facilitate changes to or transfers of our business, as required by law, or with your consent. We may share Personal information in the following ways:

With current and future members of the McAfee family of companies for the purposes described in this Notice;
With service providers who perform services for us (the list of our sub-processors for Consumer Products is available upon request where required under applicable laws)
If we believe disclosure is necessary and appropriate to prevent physical, financial, or other harm, injury, or loss, including to protect against fraud or credit risk;
To legal, governmental, or judicial authorities as instructed or required by those authorities and applicable laws, or in relation to a legal activity, such as in response to a subpoena or investigation of suspected illicit or illegal activities, or where we believe in good faith that users may be engaged in illicit or illegal activities, or where we are bound by contract or law to enable a customer or business partner to comply with applicable laws;
In connection with, or during negotiations for, an acquisition, merger, asset sale, or other similar business transfer that involves all or substantially all of our assets or functions where Personal Data is transferred or shared as part of the business assets (provided that such party agrees to use or disclose such Personal Data consistent with this Notice or gains your consent for other uses or disclosures);
With your consent or at your direction, such as when you choose to share information or publicly post content and reviews (for example, social media posts); and
With persons of your choosing and at your discretion, if the product you are subscribed to allows that functionality.
We may also share aggregate data that does not identify you or any specific device with third parties.
How Do We Protect Your Data?

We use administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the Personal Data we collect and process. Our security controls are designed to maintain data confidentiality, integrity, and an appropriate level of availability.

How Long Does McAfee Retain the Personal Data it Collects?

McAfee will keep your Personal Data for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice, namely (i) for as long as you are a registered subscriber or user of our products or (ii) for as long as your Personal Data are necessary in connection with the lawful purposes set out in this Notice, for which we have a valid legal basis or (iii) for as long as is reasonably necessary for business purposes related to provision of the Services, such as internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, warranties or to provide you with feedback or information you might request.

In addition, if any relevant legal claims are brought, we may continue to process your Personal Data for such additional periods as are necessary in connection with that claim.

Once the abovementioned periods, each to the extent applicable, have concluded, we will either permanently delete, destroy, or de-identify the relevant Personal Data so that it can no longer reasonably be tied to you.

Children's Privacy

Some of McAfee's Services provide security features that parents may use to monitor their child's activity online, physical location, or use of a registered device. These Services require parental consent, and we do not knowingly use the Personal Data we collect from children's devices for any purpose except to deliver the Services. These products allow parents to delete their child's profile at any time. If you believe we have collected information from your child in error or have questions or concerns about our practices relating to children, please contact us as described below. If you are under the age of 18, you must have your parent's permission to access the Services. McAfee urges parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without parental permission. If you learn that your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, you may alert us by contacting us as described below. If we learn that we have collected any Personal Data from children under 13 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 16), we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the child's account.

Data Transfers

McAfee is headquartered in the United States (see Contact Us for addresses), and we have operations, entities, and service providers in the United States and throughout the world. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your Personal Data to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), the following additional disclosures apply.

Data Controller. Where you purchase or download one of McAfee's consumer products, McAfee Ireland Limited acts as the Controller of your Personal Data.

We need to use your Personal Data to perform our responsibilities under our contract with you (e.g. processing payments for and providing the Services you purchase or request).
We have a legitimate interest in processing your Personal Data. For example, we have a legitimate interest in processing your Personal Data to provide, secure, and improve our Services, in communicating with you about changes to our Services, and in informing you about new services or products.
We have your consent to do so.
We need to process your Personal Data to comply with our legal obligations.
Data Transfers. We transfer Personal Data to countries outside of the EEA or Switzerland through a series of intercompany agreements based on the Standard Contractual Clauses in accordance with EU law and applicable EU regulations.

California Consumer Privacy Act Addendum

Effective date: March 1, 2024

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"), we provide this California Consumer Privacy Act Addendum (the "CCPA Addendum") to California residents ("consumers" or "you"). This CCPA Addendum supplements the information contained in our Privacy Notice. Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Notice has the meaning given in our Privacy Notice.

This CCPA Addendum does not apply to information we collect about individuals in their capacity as present or former job applicants, employees, contractors, owners, directors, or officers of McAfee.

Categories of Personal Information

Under the CCPA, "Personal Information" is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household. "Personal Information" does not include publicly-available information, deidentified or aggregated information, or information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws. "Sensitive Personal Information" refers to information that reveals a consumer's social security, driver's license, state identification card, or passport number; account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; contents of mail, email, and text messages unless McAfee is the intended recipient of the communication; genetic data; and biometric information.

In the following charts, we identify (1) the categories of Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information (as listed in the CCPA) that we plan to collect and use, and have collected and used within the preceding 12 months; (2) the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed each category of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information for our operational business purposes within the preceding 12 months; (3) the criteria we use to determine the retention period for each category of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information; and (4) the categories of Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information we have sold or shared within the preceding 12 months, as "sale" and "sharing" are defined in the CCPA.

We do not sell Personal Information in the traditional sense of the word, for monetary consideration. However, because the definitions of "Sale" and "Sharing" under the CCPA are broad enough to potentially include the disclosure of your information to certain types of advertising and marketing partners, we provide California residents with the right to opt-out of any such Sale or Sharing of their Personal Information. We do not knowingly Sell or Share the Personal Information of anyone under 16 years old.
