Who we are

CyTAL provides cyber security services and products in the form of consultancy, testing and software.

Our website address is: https://cytal.co.uk.

How we use your data

When visitors choose to leave their contact details and/or comments on our website, we collect the data requested in the relevant fields/forms, plus the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to prevent spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to RECAPTCHA to prevent fraud on or abuse of this website.

Your data rights

CyTAL retains the former data for the purposes of follow up and/or future marketing. If at any stage you wish to opt-out of receiving marketing content from us, please get in contact with us using the ‘Contact Us’ form and we will take steps to remove you from such mailing lists.

You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This excludes any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Media

If for any reason you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Use of cookies

When visitors choose to leave their contact details and/or comments on our website, you’ll also be able to opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you revisit us. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Some of the articles we publish on our website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

It should therefore be noted that these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If visitors choose to leave comments on our website, both comments and metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked using an automated spam detection service.
