INTRODUCTION

The data controller for the information you provide or that we collect on acronis.com and its subdomains is Acronis SCS, Inc., 6370 East Thomas Road Scottsdale, AZ 85288.

Our right to process information also is described in our agreements with our business customers (“Customer Agreements”). Acronis is contractually prohibited from accessing the personal data that customers store and otherwise process through Acronis’ products and services. If a provision of a Customer Agreement conflicts or otherwise is inconsistent with a provision of this Privacy Statement, then the term of the Customer Agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to information that is collected by any third-party website or service that you access through the Services.

In this Privacy Statement, to “process” information means to perform any operation on the information, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organizing, storing, adapting, use, disclosure, combining, erasing or destroying.

The Effective Date of this Privacy Statement is set forth at the top of this webpage. As we add new features to the Services, we may amend this Privacy Statement. If we make a material change to this Privacy Statement that reduces your privacy rights, we will notify you in advance through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Statement. The amended Privacy Statement supersedes all previous versions.
