The service sends queries on potential malicious activities or on protected devices to the F-Secure Security Cloud.
The F-Secure Security Cloud is a cloud-based system for cyber threat analysis that is operated by F-Secure. We collect the minimum amount of data to provide you with the security services to which you have subscribed and to provide high quality protection for our users.
With the F-Secure Security Cloud, F-Secure can maintain an up-to-date overview of the global threat landscape and protect our customers against new threats the moment they are first found.
The Security Cloud only collects data that may contain information about files or websites that have been blocked by F-Secure for security reasons. Security data is not used for personalized marketing purposes.
As a contributor, you allow the Security Cloud to keep the security data that helps us strengthen your protection against new and emerging threats. Data collected this way is only kept for a limited time and is deleted after that period.
