How We Use the Information

We use Customer Information for the following purposes: 1) Support Ticket Management and Resolution Support tickets are the primary medium that Users and the Concierge Security™ engineers (CSEs) use to communicate issues or requests over the use and improvement of the Solutions. Both parties can comment and provide more information in a support ticket until the issue/request is resolved. The CSEs use a ticketing system to communicate security alerts to Users allowing the Users to respond and see the status of the alert until it is closed. 2) Provision of the Solutions System Data and uploaded credentials are integral to the functionality of our Solutions.  This Information is used to provision the Solutions to you and to monitor and detect security and threat incidents within your network of connected applications and systems. Uploaded credentials can be viewed and managed by Users, including your MSP, and—to a limited extent—may be accessed and viewed by Arctic Wolf employees for support ticket issue resolution. Based on the your environment and configuration, Users can upload credentials in the Solutions and/or Customer Portal to:
  • configure the Solutions, and to monitor cloud infrastructure resources to detect access and misuse of a User’s networks, resources, and application instances;
  • monitor SaaS applications to detect malicious activities and potential data exposures in cloud-based applications; and
  • monitor security events related to user single sign-on and malicious endpoint activity for security providers.
3) Communication With You Arctic Wolf may use your Customer Information for business purposes of communicating with you about Solutions in which you may be interested, updating you about changes to our terms and conditions, sending you general information about Arctic Wolf and its business, or other similar types of business purposes. 4) Improve the Customer Portal and Solutions Arctic Wolf may aggregate and anonymize your Customer Information in order to improve the information it uses to deliver its Solutions.
