WHEN USING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES BlackBerry Solutions are designed to secure and protect your information by analyzing software and activity on a computer or mobile device to determine if malware is present, provide information about the security of the device and respond to potential security threats.

Personal data may also be Processed by BlackBerry to enable us to provide support and billing. When providing professional services to our clients, BlackBerry may collect personal data from our clients, users of our clients' networks and systems, and systems that connect to our clients' networks and systems.

SOURCES OF PERSONAL DATA INFORMATION COLLECTED DIRECTLY FROM YOU Before using BlackBerry Solutions, you may be required to agree to an applicable supplemental notice that may contain additional information regarding BlackBerry’s Processing of your personal data. Your agreement to such supplemental notice or use of the specified BlackBerry Solutions constitutes your consent for BlackBerry to Process your personal data for BlackBerry’s identified purposes. If you provide BlackBerry with personal data about another person, you are responsible for, and agree to, ensuring that you have that individual’s consent to do so. All personal data provided to BlackBerry is subject to this Notice. INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTIES As part of our marketing activities, we may receive additional information from third-party service providers to supplement the information you provided directly to us, so we can provide more relevant information about our company, products and services to you.

USE OF THIRD-PARTY COOKIES BlackBerry and its partners, including advertising networks, use cookies and other tracking technologies to manage our advertising delivered on other sites. We may display targeted advertisements to you while you are visiting our website, and other websites, based on information we obtain from you, or from third-parties. The use of cookies is discussed further down in this Notice. SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA We do not sell, lease, or trade the personal data we collect from you. We may transfer your personal data to other BlackBerry entities for the purposes outlined in this Notice. We may provide access or transfer your personal data to authorized BlackBerry personnel, and third-party service providers, including service providers and processors as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, respectively. This includes third-party service providers who help us market, provide support, maintain or service our products and services, or otherwise support our business operations. The personal data shared with BlackBerry entities may include: your contact information, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address, country/region, company name, and job title, along with your recent interactions with our business applications, and event attendance. BlackBerry also utilizes third-party service providers, such as advertising networks, to deliver targeted advertisements using aggregated personal data that is derived from profile data Processed by BlackBerry and provide such third-parties with general statistics relating to the advertisements delivered. Please visit Withdrawing your consent below for more information on managing marketing or commercial communications from BlackBerry. BlackBerry requires our third-party service providers to take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard your personal data, comply with applicable laws and regulations, and to not use your personal data for other purposes unless you have provided consent, or an alternative lawful basis exists to do so. Because BlackBerry must comply with applicable laws including local legislation, regulations and the orders of courts or other lawful authorities, other lawful requests, or official legal processes, we may sometimes be required to disclose your personal data to government agencies and law enforcement officials when it is necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, other legal process or as required by law or to prevent or take action regarding suspected illegal activities, fraud or software piracy, and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or in cases where we believe our intellectual property rights may be violated. For more information, please visit BlackBerry’s Lawful Access Principles and other Corporate Responsibility Practices. We may also provide access to, assign, or disclose your personal data, in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or purchase all or a portion of our company assets. INFORMATION SHARING TO SUPPORT THIRD-PARTY OFFERINGS When you download software or utilize services provided by third-parties (a “Third-Party Offering”), personal data from your computer or device or other BlackBerry Solutions may be accessed by such third-parties. When you purchase or use a Third-Party Offering, such as a product, service or software, a paid content subscription service or downloaded application, BlackBerry may share certain personal data with the third-party for purposes of providing you with the third-party offering and your personal data will then be subject to the third-party’s privacy policy. We encourage all our users to learn about the privacy practices of such third-parties before agreeing to purchase or obtain their products, services or software. BlackBerry uses contractual or other means to provide a comparable level of protection while the personal data is being Processed by our service providers. It is BlackBerry’s policy to enter into confidentiality obligations or employ other lawful data transfer mechanisms with any third-party that obtains confidential information including personal data from BlackBerry to ensure it is adequately protected. THIRD-PARTY OFFERINGS ON BLACKBERRY MOBILE DEVICES BlackBerry does not own or operate all of the applications or services that you download and use on your computer or device or through other. For example, a Third-Party Offering might access on-device data such as contacts, calendar entries, email, location-based information, or it may access or share files or data stored on the device. You should review the privacy notices/policies and any agreements with such third-parties to understand how your personal data will be Processed by those entities, as BlackBerry is not responsible for your dealings with any third-parties or the use of any Third-Party Offering. BlackBerry does not directly control how such third-parties Process the personal data they collect in connection with the Third-Party Offerings you use. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BlackBerry is committed to ensuring continuity of adequate protection and lawful Processing of personal data regardless of the jurisdiction. BlackBerry may transfer your personal data outside of your country to a subsidiary, a third-party service provider, or business partner to operate our business and to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice. By using our websites or providing any personal data to us, where applicable law permits and unless otherwise specified in a separate specific notice, you consent to the transfer, Processing, and storage of such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different. We will always seek to localize personal data when possible. Several lawful bases exist for BlackBerry to ensure adequacy of data protection when engaging in cross border transfers. TRANSFERS TO CANADA FROM EU BASED ON ADEQUACY BlackBerry is a Canadian company headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario. For lawful transfers of personal data to Canada from the EU, BlackBerry relies on the European Union’s recognition of the adequacy of Canada’s Privacy law, the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) as a lawful basis for the transfer of personal data, which governs how BlackBerry can collect, use, and disclose personal data. Since 2001, PIPEDA has given Canada the benefit of an adequacy decision by the European Commission and transfers on the basis of an adequacy determination are authorized pursuant to Article 45 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). This decision is an acknowledgement by the Commission that PIPEDA affords an adequate level of personal data protection to customers that entrust personal data to BlackBerry. TRANSFERS UNDER EU STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES As a Data Processor under GDPR, BlackBerry regularly executes with its EU customers or customers with GDPR compliance obligations (Data Controllers) Data Protection Addenda that incorporate the EU’s Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an adequate level of protection throughout the data Processing lifecycle. This includes BlackBerry’s use of third-party service providers, who are required to Process personal data under comparable terms and conditions. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. We take commercially reasonable measures, including physical, administrative and technical safeguards, to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, destruction and disclosure. To find out more about our security practices, see our Privacy Notice Frequently Asked Questions. HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA We retain your personal data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal obligations, and contractual and business operational requirements. ;With relation to personal data collected by our products and services, we retain information during the term of the agreement, based upon instructions provided by our customers, or for shorter periods of time as described in the applicable Product Notice or other product or service documentation. When personal data is no longer necessary or relevant for BlackBerry’s identified purposes, or required by applicable laws, BlackBerry will take steps to have it deleted, destroyed, erased, aggregated or made anonymous. Consistent with good business practice, BlackBerry continues to evolve our controls, schedules and practices for information and records retention and destruction which apply to your personal data. Non-personal data, such as samples of potentially malicious software or anonymized data, may be retained indefinitely for the purpose of improving the performance of our products and services. OUR USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and other tracking technologies on our websites or emails to: * operate a secure website, such as provide a robust user experience; * enable you to login to view content on secure areas of our websites; * collect statistics regarding your website usage, such as time spent, pages viewed, and actions taken on our websites; * allow us to measure and improve the effectiveness of our marketing activities; * provide content to you that is more relevant to your interests, demographics or industry; or * to deliver advertising about our products and services to you when you visit websites owned by other third-parties.

For more information on cookies and other tracking technologies, see our Privacy Notice Frequently Asked Questions. OUR USE OF ANALYTICS SERVICES BlackBerry uses services from third-party service providers to collect and analyze data from users about their use of our websites, products and services. We use this information to improve the quality and functionality of the services we provide, and to develop features that serve you or other users. The types of information that we collect include the date and time a user accesses our website, products or services, the IP address the request came from, the features they use, and their frequency of use. For more information on our use of Analytic Services, see our Privacy Notice Frequently Asked Questions. MANAGING YOUR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES PREFERENCES You can manage how cookies are set by using the cookie consent tool on our websites or by adjusting how your device handles cookies by changing its privacy and security settings, but it may limit your use of certain features on our website. If you do not want to have this information used to serve targeted advertising, you may opt-out by visiting: * https://preferences-mgr.truste.com/ * https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ * https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (European Union visitors) Please note that although you may opt out of targeted advertising, you will continue to see advertisements, however, these advertisements may not be as relevant to you as targeted advertisements. For more information on ways to manage your tracking technology preferences, see our Privacy Notice Frequently Asked Questions. DO NOT TRACK (DNT) Currently, we do not alter our data collection and use practices in response to Do Not Track signals. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS FROM BLACKBERRY BlackBerry may communicate information, surveys, marketing materials, advertisements or customized content which has been personalized to try to make it more relevant to you as part of your existing business relationship with BlackBerry. For example, we may do so where you have not unsubscribed from receiving such communications and it is permitted by law, where you have explicitly agreed to receive such communications, where you use free services which rely upon advertising (including targeted advertising based on profile information), or through utilizing aggregated data or data that has been made anonymous. BlackBerry may ask you from time to time if you would like to receive additional announcements, news, offers or event invitations regarding BlackBerry and BlackBerry Solutions. You may also choose to provide BlackBerry with personal data in response to various BlackBerry promotions. If you agree to participate in contests, surveys, giveaways, reviews, or other promotions that BlackBerry sponsors or co-sponsors, please ensure that you read the Notice that may be associated with these initiatives in order to obtain further details about how your personal data will be managed. An unsubscribe mechanism is included with every BlackBerry marketing or commercial communication. Please visit the section below in Withdrawing your consent for more information on managing marketing or commercial communications from BlackBerry. SERVICE-RELATED COMMUNICATIONS FROM BLACKBERRY BlackBerry may also send you certain service-related communications. For example, BlackBerry may send a welcome email or message when you first activate a BlackBerry Offering to inform you about the service and its terms, to notify you of important changes, to tell you how to manage your credentials or account, to provide service infrastructure notifications or information about upgrades or updates, to provide warranty information, product recall information, safety or security information, or for surveys of current or former users. Because such service-related communications are important to your use of BlackBerry Solutions, you may not opt-out of receiving these communications. YOUR PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS At BlackBerry we aim to provide the transparency you need to exercise your rights. Below you will find information on your personal data rights as well as how to make requests. If you are a resident in the European Economic Area and covered by the GDPR, BlackBerry is the Data Controller of your personal data, except where our products and services have been deployed within an organization, such as your workplace or business, where BlackBerry would then act as a Data Processor under the GDPR. If you are a resident of the State of California, your rights are addressed in this notice under Your California privacy rights and BlackBerry’s practices. Depending on the jurisdiction where you are located, you may also have rights to contact your local data protection supervisory authority to lodge a complaint against BlackBerry. ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA Upon written request, BlackBerry will inform you whether it holds personal data about you and provide you with your personal data within a reasonable timeframe and at minimal or no cost in accordance with applicable laws. If you identify an inaccuracy or incompleteness in your personal data, BlackBerry will amend your information and notify any third-parties as required by applicable laws. Upon written request, and to the extent authorized under applicable law, BlackBerry will also erase any personal data it holds about you using reasonably appropriate technical measures when: * it is no longer necessary to Process your personal data; * you withdraw your consent to Processing unless some other lawful basis exists for BlackBerry to continue to Process your personal data; * you object to the Processing and no overriding legitimate grounds exist for BlackBerry to Process your personal data; * the personal data has not been lawfully Processed by BlackBerry; or * you have a legal obligation imposed under EU or EU member state law to which BlackBerry is subject. In certain situations, and depending on applicable laws, BlackBerry may not be able to provide access to the personal data it holds about you if access may adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. For example, BlackBerry may not provide access to personal data if doing so: * would likely reveal personal data about a third-party; * would reveal BlackBerry or third-party confidential information; * could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual; * includes information that is protected by solicitor or attorney client privilege; or * includes information that was Processed in relation to the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a law. In order to safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access, BlackBerry may ask that you provide sufficient information to identify yourself prior to providing access to your personal data. Depending on the circumstances and subject to applicable laws, BlackBerry may deny processing your request if: * we are unable to verify and authenticate your identity; * it is unreasonably repetitive or automated; or * it would be overly broad, ill-defined, or require disproportionate effort which renders the request manifestly excessive. WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT At any time, you may withdraw your consent for BlackBerry to Process your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. For example, although you can use BlackBerry Solutions for some purposes without providing us with any personal data, BlackBerry may need to Process personal data for some services, including those that require payment or involve an ongoing relationship such as registration or subscription services. As such, BlackBerry may continue to use your personal data as may be required to provide you with requested services, and to the extent that BlackBerry is contractually obligated to do so or as necessary to enforce any contractual obligations you may have with BlackBerry. If you refuse to provide BlackBerry with the personal data it requires or later withdraw your consent to use and disclose this information, BlackBerry may no longer be able to provide you with your BlackBerry Solutions. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying the Privacy Office at BlackBerry at privacyoffice@blackberry.com.
