b. Information Collected by Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

We, including through third-party service providers, may collect information about your use of the Services using "cookies" and other similar technologies to help collect, analyze, and provide us reports or other data. For example, we use one or more third-party analytics services to evaluate your use of the Services, as the case may be, by compiling reports on activity (based on their collection of IP addresses, internet service provider, browser type, operating system and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, data and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of the Services you visit, number of links clicked, search terms and other similar data with respect to how you use the Services) and analyzing performance metrics.

Meaning that we need to process the data in order to provide you with the Website and the Services you purchase or request, including as provided within the MSA if you have entered into one. When we process data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such personal information will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Website and the Services that require such data.

b. When processing such information furthers the legitimate interest of us or third parties

For example, we process certain personal information and other information that you provide us, or which we collect automatically, to send you marketing communications, to communicate with you about changes to our Services, and to help provide, secure, and improve our Services.

Your Right to Object: When we use personal information to further a legitimate interest, you have the right to object to that use.

All such transfers shall be subject to our commitments with respect to the privacy and confidentiality of such personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy shall be binding upon Estuary and its legal successors in interest.

IV. YOUR INFORMATION CHOICES

1. Cookies

We use the consent management platform CookieFirst. To provide or withdraw your consent to cookies on our Website, please visit the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of our Website.

How CookieFirst works: When you access our Website, a connection is established with CookieFirst's server and we seek consent from you regarding the use of certain cookies. If approved, CookieFirst then stores a cookie in your browser, which then activates only those cookies to which you have consented (and documents such activity accordingly). The data processed is stored until the predefined storage period expires or you request to delete the data. Certain mandatory legal storage periods may apply notwithstanding the aforementioned.

2. Opt-out of Marketing

You may opt out at any time from the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes by emailing the instructions to privacy@estuary.dev with "Privacy Policy" in the subject, or by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link located on the bottom of any Estuary marketing email and following the instructions found on the page to which the link takes you. Please allow us a reasonable time to process your request. You cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails related to the Services.

V. DATA RETENTION

We store personal information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes, as required by law, or where necessary to preserve it in contemplation of litigation, legal proceedings or an investigation. The storage periods are determined on a case-by-case basis that depends on factors like the nature of the information, why it is collected and processed, relevant legal or operational retention needs, and legal obligations.

Our cookie management platform, discussed above, tracks the types of data the Website collects through cookies and for how long such data is retained. Please visit the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link at the bottom of our Website to view this information.

VI. DO NOT TRACK

Estuary does not respond to "Do Not Track" settings or other related mechanisms at this time.

VII. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

Estuary takes very seriously the security and privacy of the personal information that it collects pursuant to this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, we implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share your information (as permitted herein), nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide personal information without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at privacy@estuary.dev, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

IX. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER OF INFORMATION

Our servers are located in the US and elsewhere. Please be aware that your information may be transferred to, processed, maintained, and used on computers, servers, and systems located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your country of origin.
