F‑Secure protection is trusted not only by individuals but also by leading global brands who share our mission to keep people safe online. We protect millions of users worldwide together with our partners that include Vodafone, Virgin Media, Allianz, Telia and Swisscom.

Rooted in Europe, trusted worldwide

Based in Finland, we handle your personal information according to the strict European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and shield it from all government requests that don’t meet EU legal standards. Further, we do not sell your data.

Here’s a better breakdown of how we handle your data:

  • We respect your right to privacy

    First and fore­most, we respect your privacy in everything we do. Your trust is important to us. We respect your control of your personal data and digital content, and it’s our priority to prevent unauthorized access to it by anyone. When­ever we ask you for information, it is to better serve you: If we don’t need it, we won’t ask for it.

  • You decide how much you share with us

    To provide you even better services and relevant messages, we collect information about how our applications are found and used. This means that when you’re using our services, we track things like which features are used most and which actions trigger error messages. However, if you are uncomfortable with tracking, we completely appreciate that and therefore F‑Secure products offer opt‑out possibilities from non‑critical data collection.

  • No backdoors

    We do not build backdoors into our services or soft­ware for access by authorities or anyone else. Officials who want information for criminal investigations must enter through our front door with a warrant.

  • We choose service providers we can trust

    Like any provider of digital services, we must also use external solutions. However, we carefully partner with service providers who share our commitment to privacy and security. We don’t share any more data with them than is absolutely necessary.

  • Transparency

    We will be open and honest with you. We won’t use your personal data for hidden purposes. We strive for clear and easy to under­stand communications — not jargon.
