This Online Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information that the MITRE Corporation (“MITRE,” “we,” “our,” “us”) collects from visitors to the Supply Chain Security System of Trust at https://sot.mitre.org/index.html (the “Site”); how MITRE uses, shares, protects, stores, and otherwise processes that personal information; and your choices with respect to our use of your personal information. By using our Site, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, you may contact us using the information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
This notice is provided in a layered format so you can click through to the specific areas listed below.
MITRE may obtain your personal information when you interact with our Site, for example, when you request information about our services using the “Contact Us” link or sign up for access to our Risk Management Model (RMM). Personal information is data that identifies you, or could reasonably be used to identify you, as an individual, such as your name, postal address, email address, and phone number.
We also may collect other information about your visits to our Site using automated tools; for example, cookies and other passive information collection technologies enable MITRE to compile aggregate statistics concerning use of the Site, analyze trends, enhance the security of the Site, deliver content, and otherwise administer and improve the Site. This information may include your browser type, language preference, operating system, device identifier, device type, access time, Internet Protocol (IP) address, the URLs of websites you visited before and after visiting our Site, the web search that landed you on our Site, length of your visits to our Site, and the links you click and pages you visit within our Site. Our Site uses both session ID cookies and tracking cookies. Session ID cookies make it easier for you to navigate the Site and expire when you close your browser. Tracking cookies help us understand how you use the Site and enhance your user experience.
Please note that we, and other parties we work with, may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different devices and sites when you use our Site.
Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites or use online services. Like many websites, our Site is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers. To learn more about online tracking, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) provides guidance on How To Protect Your Privacy Online.
We may use certain third-party web analytics services to help us understand and analyze how visitors use our Site and to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. We have implemented Google Analytics features such as behavioral reporting, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, and device reporting. We may use cookies and other identifiers to create a profile of you, measure your interests, personalize content, and detect your demographics, location, or device.

MITRE may disclose your personal information to comply with applicable law, such as in response to requests from law enforcement agencies, regulators, other public authorities, courts, and third-party litigants in connection with legal proceedings or investigations.
Our Site may include links to other websites that are not owned or operated by MITRE. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, which may have their own privacy policies that you should review to understand how they may collect, use, or disclose your personal information. MITRE is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked websites that it does not control.
MITRE maintains reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. MITRE employs encryption technologies and user authentication procedures that are designed to keep data secure. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage are not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

MITRE is headquartered in the United States. If you are visiting our Site from outside the United States, please be aware that information we obtain about you may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions. By using the Site and providing your personal information, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own. Please be aware that the data protection laws and regulations that may apply to your personal information transferred to the United States or other countries may be different from the laws in your country of residence.
This section provides a GDPR Notice (“Notice”) for residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom (“UK”) regarding their respective rights under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom’s General Data Protection Regulation (collectively, the “GDPR”). MITRE is the data controller for personal data collected through the Site.
This Notice supplements the information in this Privacy Policy and other MITRE privacy policies and notices. If there is a conflict between any other MITRE privacy policy, statement, or notice and this Notice, this Notice will prevail.
Personal data collected through the MITRE Site may include:
Your personal data is required for us to provide some of our services. In some instances, if you fail to provide your personal data, you may not be able to access or use our services. We may process the personal data you provide for any of the purposes identified in the “How We Use Personal Information” and “How We Share Personal Information” Sections of our Online Privacy Policy.
Your personal data is processed pursuant to the following legal bases:
The GDPR provides individuals with certain rights regarding their personal data. You may ask us to take the following actions:
You may submit these requests by email to privacy@mitre.org. We may require specific information from you to help us verify your identity prior to processing your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to any legal restrictions on disclosing this information.
If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal data or our response to your request regarding your personal data, you may contact us at privacy@mitre.org or submit a complaint directly to the data protection authority in your jurisdiction. If you reside in the EEA, you can find information about your data protection authority here. If you reside in the UK, you may file complaints with the Information Commissioner’s Office here.
MITRE retains your personal data for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the personal data was collected, or as may otherwise be permitted or required under applicable law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the scope and sensitivity of the personal data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized access to, use, or disclosure of the data; the purposes for which we process the data; whether we can achieve our purposes through other means; our business needs; and applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period, we will anonymize or securely destroy your personal data.
By using the MITRE Site, you acknowledge that your personal data may be collected, transferred to, and processed in jurisdictions outside your own. When you directly provide your personal data through our Site, you acknowledge that your personal data is being provided by you to a company based in the United States. The laws that apply to personal data protection in the United States differ from those applicable in the EEA and the UK.
If it is necessary for us to transfer personal data out of the EEA and the UK, we do so by using suitable data transfer mechanisms, such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, which impose data protection obligations on parties to the transfer.

The MITRE Site is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
