6. International Data Transfers

6.1 Data Location

The Platform is designed to be self-hosted by customers on their own infrastructure. Customers may choose any data location they prefer. For our own systems (Marketing Site, billing, support), we use infrastructure located in the United States.

For the future AegisGate Managed Cloud offering (planned v3.4.0+), data will be hosted in US-based data centers, with EU and APAC regional hosting available as add-on options.

6.2 Transfer Mechanisms

When we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on:

  • The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (where the recipient is certified)
  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (where the recipient is not certified)
  • The recipient’s binding corporate rules (for intra-group transfers)

For Swiss transfers, we rely on the SCCs as adapted for Switzerland.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Platform is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us at privacy@aegisgatesecurity.io.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version is always available at https://aegisgatesecurity.io/legal/privacy.
