We urge consumers and clients to periodically visit our website (www.digimarc.com) to understand any changes that may have occurred. Our privacy policy contains an "effective date" reflecting when the last changes occurred.

Privacy and security are part of the culture at Digimarc. We provide information to our employees about the importance of privacy and data security. We provide ongoing education about the laws and accepted practices in which Digimarc conducts business. As changes in legislation or industry practices occur, special education may be provided to update our employees on the new practices. At the time of initial employment and annually thereafter, all employees sign Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality agreements stating they understand and agree to uphold Digimarc's privacy and security policies as a condition of continued employment. When appropriate, Digimarc disciplines associates who violate our privacy policies.

Digimarc conducts risk assessments and regular audits on our internal and external information systems in order to assess our ability to maintain the integrity of data. Our enterprise security operations center maintains real-time monitoring for information system vulnerabilities and unauthorized access attempts into our internal systems. We also maintain physical security for our facility and limit access to certain critical areas of our business.

We take reasonable precautions to be sure that our security procedures are adequate for the protection of our computer systems and data, but this does not eliminate the possibility that our security will be breached. In the event a security breach occurs which causes Digimarc leadership to believe individual consumers are at actual risk for identity theft or other fraudulent activities that may cause substantial harm or inconvenience to consumers or if such breach otherwise requires public notification, Digimarc will post a Security Alert notice on our website (www.digimarc.com) which provides relevant information for consumers and Digimarc clients to consider in order to protect against fraudulent and other harmful actions that may result from the unauthorized access. Digimarc will also provide any other types of notification that may be required by law in the event of a breach.
