Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Commitment to Privacy

SystemHelpDesk MSP operates the Malware Families Catalog (malware-families-catalog.systemhelpdesk.com). We take personal privacy seriously and are committed to transparency in all our data handling practices. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the security protocols established to protect user data across our research repository and technical assistance channels.

2. Information We Collect

We believe in minimal data collection. We only gather information strictly necessary to provide research intelligence, ensure edge site performance, or deliver technical support services:

• Browsing & Technical Logs: When accessing our catalog, standard automated server logs record anonymized IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, referring URLs, and timestamp data to mitigate automated scraping, prevent DDoS attacks, and monitor edge caching efficiency.
• Voluntary Communications: When you submit inquiry forms, email our research team, or contact our support desk via telephone at (855) 945-5553, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, operating system version, and details of the software issue described.
• Telephone Support Records: Inbound calls to (855) 945-5553 may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance, training, and customer verification in compliance with state and federal telecommunications regulations.

3. How We Use Information

Data gathered by SystemHelpDesk MSP is utilized strictly for legitimate operational purposes:

• To provide technical diagnostics, remote assistance, and security remediation as requested by the consumer.
• To update threat intelligence indices, catalog signature hashes, and improve troubleshooting documentation.
• To comply with regulatory obligations, resolve billing inquiries, and prevent fraudulent transactions.

Zero Data Selling Guarantee: We do NOT sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal information or contact details to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers under any circumstances.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website utilizes local storage strictly to remember your user interface preferences (such as light/dark mode selection). We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels that follow your browsing activities across unrelated websites.
