Private PCAP

Short version: We treat the content of private PCAPs as confidential, and we only access it as described in our Privacy Statement - for security purposes, to assist the repository owner with a support matter, to maintain the integrity of the Service, to comply with our legal obligations, if we have reason to believe the contents violate the law, or with your consent.

1. Control of Private PCAP

Some (paid) Accounts may have private PCAPs, which allow the User to control access to Content. Unpaid / unsubscribed users can not enable PCAPs to be private.

2. Confidentiality of Private PCAPs

PacketSafari considers the contents of private PCAPs to be confidential to you. PacketSafari will protect the contents of private PCAPs from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that we would use to protect our own confidential information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.

3. Access

PCAPs personnel may only access the content of your private PCAPs in the situations described in our Privacy Policy.

You may choose to enable additional access to your private PCAPs. For example:

  • You may enable various PacketSafari services or features that require additional rights to Your Content in private PCAPs. These rights may vary depending on the service or feature, but PCAPs will continue to treat your private PCAP Content as confidential. If those services or features require rights in addition to those we need to provide the PCAPs Service, we will provide an explanation of those rights.

Additionally, we may be compelled by law to disclose the contents of your private repositories.

PacketSafari will provide notice regarding our access to private repository content, unless for legal disclosure, to comply with our legal obligations, or where otherwise bound by requirements under the law, for automated scanning, or if in response to a security threat or other risk to security.
