Data usage:
The data held is used only for the purposes within the contract, and we may use this data to contact people to support them, or to provide information that we feel is important to the service. Contact may be made by phone or email.  

We do not pass any data to anyone who is not associated with the contract or service provided. 

Data retention:
Data is removed from the system immediately following removal of a device from the service, either due to a device being retired, or following the termination of the contract.

Data of yours that we have access to:
The Management tool allows us to see the usage of the devices monitored. As such, we can:

• see when a user is online, and the IP address they are using
• identify websites visited, and a summary of the categories of sites visited
• see the names of other devices that are connected to the monitored PC/laptop, and their MAC address where available

This enables us to provide the services specified in our contract.   

We also store selected amounts of your data in Solarwinds’ online backup service. We have no ability to view this data through the system, and any data restores are done only with express permission.

Our staff have all signed confidentiality documents and will only access the files / areas of your device that are relevant for providing support. The confidentiality of your data is also covered in more detail in the Terms & Conditions associated with the contract.
