a) The number of Active Mailboxes meaning: the mailboxes (excluding aliases and distribution lists) that have sent or received at least one email in the period.
For a mailbox to be chargeable the primary flag must be set to true and the objectClass in Active Directory must be user or NULL ("NULL" is included for environments where Active Directory is not used).
Shared mailboxes, Distribution Lists (DLs), resources etc will have an objectClass most commonly of group or msExchDynamicDistributionList for on-premise or shared mailbox for Office 365 / Exchange Online. These are not counted towards product usage.
If you are using Azure Active Directory you must grant the correct permissions to allow synchronisation of shared mailboxes, otherwise they will be indistinguishable from standard users and subject to billing.
Mailboxes that match the criteria above also need to be Active Mailboxes in order to be chargeable. An Active Mailbox is a mailbox that has received or sent at least one email message in the period (month).
Usage is the sum of active primary mailboxes as defined above. The product usage calculation presented above applies to monthly billing (MSP). For annual or multi-annual billing the product usage is equal to the number of “sold” mailboxes as stipulated in the commercial agreement.

In Europe specific data centre locations include Frankfurt, Dublin and Amsterdam. Organizations choose which data centre or centres process their mail. In the UK data centre locations include London. In the US data centre locations include Wyoming, Texas and Virginia. In the UAE data centre locations include Dubai. Email messages flow through the infrastructure within the selected data centre(s) above and are checked for spam and viruses and other content. If the message is ‘clean’ it is logged and delivered to the customer’s email server. The conversation with the customer’s email server is also logged.
Log information includes IP addresses, To, From and Subject fields, server responses, and other metadata, but does not include the message body or any file attachments.
Log data is stored in the same data centre that processes email traffic. Some log data may be replicated for reporting and visualization. The ‘home’ region selected at the time of account provisioning determines the location of this data.
During processing the message is written to disk. Once delivered to the customer’s email server it is immediately deleted. This typically takes no more than a few seconds. If a message is determined to be spam then the message may optionally be written to a quarantine where it is stored for thirty (30) days. Organization’s may choose to delete spam rather than quarantine it. The quarantine is located specifically in the following data centres: Amsterdam (for UK and EU customers), Dallas TX (for US customers) and Dubai (for UAE customers).
GravityZone Security for Email Solution Risks:
It should be noted that email is generally sent unencrypted in clear text and routes through numerous network providers, systems and servers between sender(s) and recipient(s). Each of these providers, systems and servers may have a copy of the complete email message.
The use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt server to server transmission of email is becoming increasingly used. There is the option within EMS to use TLS for outbound email with specific domains that support it.
For sensitive messages, including messages containing personal data, the use of a separate email encryption solution is recommended.
It should be further noted that GravityZone Security for Email Solution only covers email sent or received externally. Internal messages sent between users is not processed by Bitdefender.
Scope of Risk: Our staff could access the message body (including file attachments) of email messages sent or received externally - if they are not encrypted - for the short time that they are written to disk and processed in the Cloud.
Only a small number of our staff are involved in administration of EMS systems, or in supporting customers using the service, or those that have access for operational or engineering (software development) reasons have any access to the infrastructure that processes and temporarily stores email messages. The same small number of our staff could access spam messages that are stored in a quarantine if the service is configured to quarantine messages determined to be spam. All service-related data is handled in strict accordance with Data Protection Legislation.
Input data that contains personal data – GravityZone Security for Email Solution: Input data for the GravityZone Security for Email Solution is comprised of inbound and outbound email messages sent or received externally to or from the organization. Email messages are sent unencrypted in clear text unless a separate email encryption solution is used or TLS is enforced for outbound email sent to a specified domain. Email messages are stored, typically for a few seconds, during analysis and deleted immediately once delivered to your email server.
Output data that contains personal data – GravityZone Security for Email Solution:
· Output data from the EMS service is comprised of log data relating to inbound and outbound email messages sent or received externally. Log information includes IP addresses, To, From and Subject fields, server responses, and other metadata, but does not include the message body or any file attachments.
· Depending on the configuration of the service output data may also include complete email messages that are determined during analysis to be spam messages, if the service is configured to quarantine spam emails rather than delete them. Quarantined messages are stored for thirty (30) days and then deleted.
· Log data is held online for ninety (90) days and then archived. Archived log data is deleted after twelve (12) months (but may be downloaded on demand by customers at any time prior to deletion).

b) Without an MDM (Mobile Device Management) integration, it is not possible to detect if an uninstalled / reinstalled device is physically the same device. In these instances, both devices will be charged, being considered as Active Device.
c) On devices where both the mobile agent and chrome extension is installed and enabled at the same time, if the devices are not registered with the same ID to the Security for Mobile console by the MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, they will be registered as two separate devices on Security for Mobile console and they will be charged as two separate devices. By the time of the release of this document, Google MDM is the only solution tested by Bitdefender that registers the mobile devices and chrome extension as a single device. Please consult with your MDM provider to test your integration before installing chrome extensions to avoid double billings.
d) Users might decommission old devices and switch to new devices. In such circumstances, rule “a” still applies and they will be treated as two separate devices.

B. Data Protection
Notwithstanding the general provisions of data protection in this Agreement, in regards to personal data collected by Bitdefender Gravityzone Security for Mobile Solution from Your users and the applicable data protection legislation governing this relationship, according to the EU applicable legislation on personal data (GDPR – General Data Protection Legislation), Bitdefender is a Data Processor in relation to the personal data collected through this service for and on Your behalf for the purpose of the Your mobile security, and You are a Data Controller in relation to the collected personal data, by customizing the policies and the solution’s settings. You are responsible for complying with the GDPR provisions, including lawful processing of personal data, informing users about the use of their personal data, the security of personal data and ensuring service users can exercise their rights, according to the Data Processing Agreement available here: https://www.bitdefender.com/content/dam/bitdefender/legal/data-processing-agreement-gz-mobile-solution.pdf.
C. GravityZone Security for Mobile Solution Risks:
It should be noted that protection capabilities provided by Security for Mobile depends on the admin configuration. By default, “best practices” set of detections are enabled on each new customer’s account. However, these detections are not designed to take any action on mobile devices. Security admins in charge of managing the mobile security must view the default configurations and enable appropriate actions on their accounts.
Bitdefender Security for Mobile relies on mobile device agent applications to provide protection. However, considering that not all mobile devices are corporate owned, (i.e. BYOD, Bring Your Own Device) the permissions required by the agent to provide the protection configured by admin might not be approved by the owner of the mobile device, thus, the agents might fail to provide the required level of protection. Asking the end user to provide the required permissions as well as complying with regulations and laws is the customer’s responsibility. We, as Bitdefender, cannot force the end user to provide all the required permissions.
For instance, anti-phishing capability requires a local VPN technology to be enabled on the mobile device. However, enabling this technology requires the permission of the device owner. If such access is not permitted, the anti-phishing technology will not work as intended.
For easier compliance with regulations and laws, security admins can alter the level of data to be collected from the mobile devices via mobile agents. Please note that limitations in data collection can also lead to not being able to utilize of some of the capabilities. For instance, deep analysis capability requires access to the apk files on Android devices. An admin can choose to not to collect application binaries on mobile devices (or a set of mobile devices). However, when application binary collection is disabled, the deep analysis capability cannot be utilized for the applications on those mobile devices.
10. SPECIAL TERMS FOR BITDEFENDER INTEGRITY MONITORING ADD-ON
