INTRO

This Open Source Product Privacy Policy (the " OS Product PP") explains how Salto Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Salto," "we ", "us" and "our") collect, use and share information, including information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("Personal Data") from our customers or users ("users", "you" and " your") when you use or access our open source products made available Salto or otherwise when you receive services from us, such as support services with respect to such use or access (together the " OS Products").

It is very important for us to state, right at the beginning, that we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, and therefore we put much thought and effort into the design and architecture of our OS Products to ensure we collect only the most minimal amount of data with respect to use of our OS Products. We use this OS Product PP to provide our users with the highest level of transparency and control over the use of their data.

QUICK SUMMARY

We collect only technical information (e.g. operating system, architecture and error reports) which we do not consider to be personal data as it does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person, but rather relates to our internally issued installation ID and workspace ID (as further detailed below). However, in some jurisdictions, this kind of consistent identifier, may be considered as Personal Data.

We use the information we collect, only for improving, maintaining, and securing our OS Products, which we consider to be our legitimate interest.

We do not sell or commercially distribute any collected data.

You may at any time disable any collection of data by us by setting the environment variable SALTO_TELEMETRY_DISABLE=1 or otherwise as specified at telemetry.md ("Opt-Out").

SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

This OS Product PP applies only to the information we collect automatically in connection with your use of the OS Products. This information includes Product Data (defined below) and System Data (defined below), which are generally technical and aggregated but may include limited data sets, which in certain jurisdictions may be considered as Personal Data such as IP/MAC address of the user's device and Salto internally issued identifiers.


This OS Product PP does not apply to:

  • Personal Data collected through our website, information you actively provide us through emails or telephone, Personal Data collected through any of our other services or products which are not the OS Products (" Commercial Products"), the sales and delivery process of Commercial Products, and any information we may receive or collect through our social media properties; with respect to which our General Privacy Policy located at Policy shall apply (the " General Privacy Policy").
  • Personal Data received and processed by us in connection with job applications we receive, which is governed by the General Privacy Policy.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY BEFORE ACCESSING AND USING THE OS PRODUCTS. PLEASE NOTE -- YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED BY LAW TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL DATA. IF YOU DISAGREE TO ANY TERM PROVIDED HEREIN YOU SHOULD OPT-OUT.

BY ACCESSING AND/OR RUNNING THE OS PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF YOUR INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY .

1. HOW DO WE RECEIVE DATA ABOUT YOU?

First - What is Personal Data? "Personal Data" is information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable efforts or together with additional information we have access to, enable the identification of an individual, or may be of a private or sensitive nature relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Identification of an individual also includes the association of such individual with a persistent identifier such as a name, an identification number, persistent cookie identifier etc. Personal Data does not include information that has been anonymized or aggregated; provided, that, such information can no longer be used to identify a specific natural person. In the course of installing and running our OS Products, we automatically transmit the Product Data and the System Data. You may disable such transmission by setting the environment variable SALTO_TELEMETRY_DISABLE=1 or otherwise as specified at telemetry.md


2. WHAT CATEGORIES AND TYPES OF DATA DO WE COLLECT?

a. The OS Product automatically transmits to Salto through an internet connection, the following categories of data:

  • System Data: this is information about the systems and related environment with which you are using the OS Products. Examples include type of operating system (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS), operating system version (e.g. MacOS 19.2.0, Ubuntu 18.04, Windows 10) and architecture (e.g. arm, x64, etc.).
  • Product Data: this is information about the performance of the OS Products. Examples include metrics on the commands ran, error reports, scale of the OS Products use, errors' stacktrace and response times.

b. The aforementioned categories of System Data and Product Data are processed in a completely anonymized and statistical manner, except that they are associated with the following internally issued identifiers:

Installation ID: this is an identifier issued internally by Salto to refer to your instance of installation of the OS Product. If you uninstall the OS Product and re-install, the new installation will receive a new value that cannot be associated with your previous use of the OS Product.

Workspace ID: this is an identifier issued by the Salto OS Product to refer to a certain set of files it manipulates.

Therefore, data associated with Installation IDs and/or Workspace IDs will be treated as Personal Data.

3. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

3.1. Legal Grounds for the collection and processing of Personal Data

Legitimate interests : Our legal basis for processing such information with respect to users in the European Economic Area (EEA) is our legitimate interest in performing, improving, maintaining, and securing our OS Products, providing support for users of our OS Products, operating our business efficiently and appropriately and enforcing the OS Product license located at LICENSE hereinafter the "OS Product License Agreement");

3.2. Purpose of use of data

Salto uses the Product Data and System Data it obtains from use of the OS Products to improve our Products, support our Customers, support business to business marketing and sales, comply with legal requirements, and for other legitimate business purposes. More information on each category follows:

  • Product improvement: Salto may use Product and System Data to analyze the use of the OS Products; prioritize testing and development of new features and functionality; improve our support responses; improve forecasting; identify, understand, and anticipate performance issues and the factors that affect them.
  • Provision of product support: Salto may use Product and System Data to provide proactive or reactive support to our users, such as guidance to help optimize usage; identifying product malfunctions or assist in OS Products use.
