How we get the personal information and why we have it:

We receive your personal information directly when you create an account.

In addition, we will send you periodic marketing emails to help us keep the 100GB storage offer free.

We will also capture the personal details of extra contacts you add to your backup accounts. These will be used for email alerts about your backups but not for marketing.

We never share this information with other organisations outside of our company.
