You may sign up to receive information about our company, our products and
services, industry news and information, access our partner portal and register
to attend an event. Based on your consent, we may send you electronic
communications to keep you informed of changes to our products and services.
Your personal data will be accessed by authorized BlackBerry personnel to

Privacy Notice. We may also provide your personal data to third-party service
providers to help us deliver the information you requested, support event
activities, or provide updates about BlackBerry products and services.
Third-party service providers are not permitted to use your information for any

organization, you will be informed at the time of registration what data will be
shared with that organization.
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. In some cases, you may configure the
BlackBerry Offering to upload potentially malicious computer code to our servers
for further analysis. The BlackBerry Offering collects limited personal data to
perform these functions. The uploaded potentially malicious computer code is
de-identified and maintained separately from information that may identify an
individual. 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. The collection and
use of this personal data are limited to providing the professional service to
the client. Authorized BlackBerry personnel will access personal data and we may
transfer personal data to third-party service providers to help us provide these
services.

is necessary to perform those service, manage licenses, communicate with
customers and to improve and develop BlackBerry Solutions.
AGGREGATED OR ANONYMOUS DATA
BlackBerry may derive aggregated or anonymous data (i.e. data that is not
associated with/linked to an identifiable individual or organization) from data
collected through BlackBerry Solutions. BlackBerry may use aggregated/anonymous
data for any lawful business purpose (including, without limitation, to develop
and improve the BlackBerry Solutions and to create and distribute reports and
other materials).
To find out more about the personal data collected by our products and services,
see the Privacy Notice Frequently Asked Questions.

and will update this Notice accordingly.
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. The information we receive is public information
related to the organization or business you work for, such the size of your
company, industry, and business mailing address.
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

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.
Marketing or commercial communications: You may unsubscribe from receiving
marketing or commercial communications about BlackBerry or BlackBerry Solutions
by:
* clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of any marketing or commercial
communication from BlackBerry;
* by indicating your preference at www.blackberry.com/unsubscribe; or
* by writing to BlackBerry Privacy Office c/o BlackBerry (attention Legal
Department), 2200 University Avenue East, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2K 0A7
and advising what particular types of marketing or commercial communications
you no longer wish to receive.
Cookies: As noted above, you may also opt-out of BlackBerry’s use of cookies
through one of the following methods:
* use the cookie consent tool on our websites to modify your cookie
preferences;
* change your browser settings to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie
is being sent; or
* remove or block browser cookies using the settings in your browser, but that
may impact your ability to use certain BlackBerry Solutions as they may not
work well or at all with cookies disabled.
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS AND BLACKBERRY’S PRACTICES
