What data does Ripple collect, and where is it stored?

Ripple collects anonymised, non-personally-identifiable statistical data on activations and phrases for the purpose of improving the tool and understanding patterns of harmful online activity at a population level. This data cannot be used to identify any individual.

For BrowserShield: no user personally identifiable metrics or browsing data are transmitted from the device. The keyword and website library is held and processed locally.

For NetworkShield and MobileShield: traffic is analysed in real time in the cloud. No traffic content is stored after the inspection.

All data is stored within the UK. Where we use cloud suppliers, those suppliers are required to demonstrate compliance with UK GDPR data protection standards. Full details are available in Ripple Privacy Policy.
