GDPR Compliance Statement

Last updated: June 16, 2026

At PenTeCon, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users' data. We fully support the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enforces robust data privacy and security rules for organizations operating within the European Union (EU) or handling the personal data of EU citizens.

Data Minimization

We only collect data that is strictly necessary for providing our vulnerability scanning services. We do not store scan history for unauthenticated users.

Encryption by Default

All personal data and scan configurations are encrypted both in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) across all our European data centers.

Right to Erasure

You have complete control over your data. You can export your data or permanently delete your account and associated metadata at any time.

1. Our Role

PenTeCon operates primarily as a Data Processor when you use our platform to scan your proprietary domains and networks. You, the customer, are the Data Controller. You determine what assets to scan and how the resulting diagnostic data is utilized.

We act as a Data Controller only concerning the account information (such as your email address and billing details) required to maintain your subscription and access to the platform.

2. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights. PenTeCon aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

  • The right to access, update or delete: You can perform these actions directly within your account settings.
  • The right of rectification: You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to object: You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data.
  • The right of restriction: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • The right to withdraw consent: You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where PenTeCon relied on your consent to process your personal information.

3. Data Storage & Transfers

By default, PenTeCon utilizes cloud infrastructure located within the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany) for all EU customers. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for any necessary data transfers outside the EEA to ensure your data is protected to European standards.

4. Sub-processors

PenTeCon engages certain third-party service providers (sub-processors) to assist in providing our services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing). We maintain up-to-date Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all sub-processors, ensuring they adhere to the same strict GDPR standards.
