Use of your data

- forward the reported URL to other organisations known to be fighting against phishing, including – but not limited to – CERTs/CSIRTs, the anti-virus industry, law enforcement agencies, the Anti-Phishing Working Group;
- notify security contacts at peer organisations, if your data indicates that their infrastructure has been used or abused for phishing, for the purpose of helping them detect potential abuse on their site;
- notify the organisation that is the target of the phishing attack.
SWITCH may keep your data as long as appropriate and in accordance with the limits set down by law.
