Customer’s personal data, including Registration Data (as defined below), may be used by and transferred
between AVAST and its Service Partners in connection with providing the Software for such purposes that
include, but are not limited to, purchase tracking, reactivation of Software licenses, refund and chargeback
tracking and other technical and customer service purposes as may be referenced below.
Data that Customer enters into the Software Identities, Passcards and Safenotes is stored locally on Customer’s
computer or portable disk in files with RFT, RFP and RFN extensions, as well as on servers maintained by AVAST’s
Service Partner. Customer understands that deletion of or damage to these files will cause irreversible loss of
personal information contained in these files and Customer accepts the risk of such loss. If local copy of
Customer’s data maintained by the Software is lost, Customer may obtain copy of this data; however, availability
of a backup copy is not guaranteed by AVAST or any of its Service Partners. Customer is encouraged to keep multiple copies of Customer’s data on Customer’s computers, disks and other devices. AVAST and its Service
Partners may not be held liable to Customer or any third party if they cannot produce copy of Customer’s data.
The Software may transmit data contained in Identities, Passcards and Safenotes over the Internet for the
purposes of storing backup copy of Customer’s data and for purposes of Synchronization of such data between
Customer computers and mobile devices. If Customer or a program running on Customer’s computer or mobile
device causes the Software to fill an online form with such personal data, then submission of this form will result
in the data being sent over the Internet. The Software checks a server for its new version and security patches
approximately once a day, which results in technical data (such as operating system, browser version and
Registration Data) being transmitted to and stored by AVAST and its Service Partners.
In addition to data stored in Identities, Passcards and Safenotes, certain personal information known as
“Registration Data”, which consists of Customer’s name, e-mail address and the name of the person or company
who referred Customer to use the Software, each as Customer enters it when Customer runs the Software for
the first time, may be collected. Registration Data may be different from similar data stored in Customer’s
Identity. Customer can edit Registration Data by opening “Options”, clicking “Version” tab and then clicking the
“Registration Info” button.
By using the Software Customer acknowledges and agrees that AVAST or its Service Partners may collect,
transmit, store, disclose and otherwise use the information as described above. Customer is giving this consent
on behalf of all users of all computers where the Software will be used under this license and Customer accepts
full responsibility for informing all users and acquiring their fully informed, free and valid consent with processing
of their personal information by the Software as described above. The collected information may be transferred
to third parties or to other countries that may have less protective data protection laws than the country or
region in which Customer is situated. AVAST takes measures to ensure that any collected information will receive
an adequate level of protection if and when transferred.
AVAST reserves all rights to cooperate with any legal process, law enforcement request or government inquiry
related to Customer’s use of the Software. In connection therewith, AVAST may provide documents and
information relevant to a subpoena or investigation, which may include disclosure of Customer’s personal
information.
Customer consents during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter to (i) AVAST sharing
information collected from Customer during purchase, installation or registration of the Software with AVAST’s
business partners and (ii) use of such information by AVAST and its business partners to present Customer with
information that may be relevant to Customer, including product update newsletters and offers of software,
services or other products.

information that Customer provides to AVAST or its Service Partners in connection with the purchase of the
Software may be covered under separate sales terms, as made available to Customer at the time of purchase.

parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, Service Partners and agents harmless from and
against any third party claims, demands, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, made by any third party arising out of or in connection with use of the online synchronization
