The World Cyber Ranking is a free service that does not require an account. The personal data processed are limited to what is necessary to operate the ranking and search service, keep it secure and measure its audience:

• Search data — the companies and organizations you look up and the corresponding technical request;
• Connection data — your IP address, browser and device information, and server logs;
• Anti-abuse data — a technical token issued by our self-hosted anti-bot challenge (based on the open-source Friendly Captcha technology), used to prevent automated abuse;
• Audience data — subject to your consent, analytics data collected through Piwik Pro (see Article 13);
• Contact data — if you write to us, your email address and the content of your message.

In application of the regulations applicable to personal data, users have the following rights:

Any request must be accompanied by a photocopy of a valid identity document, signed and mentioning the address at which the publisher can contact the requester. The response will be sent within one month of receiving the request. This one-month period may be extended by two months if the complexity of the request and/or the number of requests require it.

In addition, and since Law No. 2016-1321 of October 7, 2016, people who wish have the possibility to organize the fate of their data after their death. For more information on the subject, you can consult the CNIL website: https://www.cnil.fr/.

The personal data collected from users aim to provide the services of the Platform, improve them and maintain a secure environment. The Platform is a free service that does not require an account, and processing is based on the publisher’s legitimate interest in operating, securing and improving the service. More specifically, the uses are as follows:

• providing the ranking and company search service and returning the results;
• preventing automated abuse (anti-bot challenge);
• ensuring the security and integrity of the service, and detecting fraud or malicious activity;
• measuring the audience and improving the service (analytics, subject to your consent);
• responding to your requests when you contact us.

The legal basis for these processing operations is the publisher’s legitimate interest, with the exception of audience measurement, which is based on your consent and can be withdrawn at any time.

Data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above:

• Connection data and server logs — a limited period proportionate to security and anti-abuse needs;
• Analytics data — up to thirteen (13) months (see Article 13);
• Contact correspondence — for the time needed to handle your request and any applicable limitation period.

To the extent reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, or prevent fraud and abuse, we may retain some data for longer where the law so requires.

We do not sell your personal data. It may be shared with the processors we rely on to operate the service, each acting on our instructions and bound by a data-processing agreement:

• Hosting (site and search API) — Amazon Data Services France SAS (AWS), see Article 1.3;
• Hosting (ranking data and anti-bot service) — Scaleway SAS, see Article 1.3;
• Ranking backend — the World Cyber Ranking scoring and search API operated by Scovery;
• Anti-bot protection — a self-hosted challenge based on the open-source Friendly Captcha technology, running on our Scaleway infrastructure (see Article 1.3); no data is shared with a third-party captcha provider;
• Consent management — CookieFirst;
• Audience measurement — Piwik Pro (only with your consent).

We select processors that store data within the European Union wherever possible. Any transfer outside the European Union is governed by appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. We may also disclose data where required by law or to respond to legal and administrative procedures.

The service returns cyber-risk scores and information about organizations (legal entities), which does not, as such, constitute personal data. This information is derived from publicly available sources — see About the data.

Where a result nonetheless concerns a natural person (for example a sole trader or individual entrepreneur whose business is identified by their name), that person may exercise their rights — including the right to object and the right to erasure — by writing to contact@scovery.com.

If, while consulting the site, you access personal data, you must refrain from any collection, any unauthorized use and any act that may constitute an invasion of privacy or reputation of people. The publisher declines all responsibility in this regard.

What is a “cookie”?

A “cookie” or tracker is an electronic file deposited on a terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, …) and read, for example, when consulting a website, reading an email, installing or using software or a mobile application, and this whatever the type of terminal used (source: cnil.fr).

The site can automatically collect standard information. All indirectly collected information will only be used to track the volume, type and configuration of traffic using this site, to develop its design and layout and for other administrative and planning purposes, and more generally to improve the service we offer you.

If applicable, “cookies” from the site publisher and/or third-party companies may be deposited on your terminal, with your agreement. In this case, during the first navigation on this site, an explanatory banner on the use of “cookies” will appear. Before continuing to browse, the visitor must accept or refuse the use of said “cookies”. Analytics trackers are only loaded once the corresponding consent has been given. The consent given will be valid for a period of thirteen (13) months. The user has the possibility to withdraw consent or deactivate cookies at any time.

The following cookies are present on this site:

• Piwik Pro — the cookie is used to calculate visitor data, sessions, campaigns and to track site usage for the site analytics report. Cookies store information anonymously and assign a randomly generated number to identify unique visitors.

The lifetime of these cookies is thirteen months.

These terms of use of the site are governed by French law and subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the publisher’s head office, subject to a specific allocation of jurisdiction arising from a specific legal or regulatory text.
