Cognitect, Inc. (“Cognitect,” “we,” or “us”) provides the website located at www. cognitect.com and related domains (the “Website”), the Cognitect dev-tools software, comprising Datomic dev-local and REBL ("the Software"), and information technology consulting and development services (collectively with "the Software"", the "Services"). We value and respect your privacy. This "Privacy Policy" demonstrates our commitment to your right of privacy and explains how we use, disclose and protect the Personal Information (as defined below) of users ("you," "User," or "your") of the Website and the Services.

By visiting the Website and checking the box to accept this Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to the use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described below. If you do not agree with the terms set out in this Privacy Policy, please do not visit the Website, and do not check the box to agree to the Privacy Policy.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person ("Personal Information"). We generally collect or receive Personal Information in the following ways:

Each of these methods is described in more detail below:

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use your Personal Information:

We also collect information in an aggregated form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose aggregated or otherwise non-personal information for any purpose.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

We do not use cookies on the Website.

WHEN MAY A THIRD PARTY RECEIVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Cognitect will not disclose your Personal Information to any third parties except:

Cognitect does not sell your Personal Information.

Cognitect may disclose your Personal Information to Cognitect’s parent company, affiliated legal entities, subsidiaries and any other businesses with whom we are under common corporate control (collectively the "Affiliates"). All of our Affiliates that receive your information from us will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy with respect to their use and disclosure of such information.

HOW DOES COGNITECT KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE?

Cognitect is committed to keeping your information secure. We endeavor to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. Other than the sharing of information outlined in this Privacy Policy, personally identifiable information is not accessible by the public, and we require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any Personal Information. Any personally identifiable information on user profiles is private.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not direct our Website or Services to children (usually considered to be under the age of 13, depending on the country where you reside). We also do not intentionally collect Personal Information from children through our Website or Services. If you are the parent or guardian of a child and you believe that we have inadvertently received Personal Information about that child, please contact us as described in the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy and we will take reasonable steps to remove the information from our records.

GAINING ACCESS TO, UPDATING DELETING YOUR INFORMATION OR WITHDRAWING CONSENT

If at any time you want to request, update, correct or remove Personal Information, you are welcome to submit a request to support@cognitect.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. If you are aware of changes or inaccuracies in your Personal Information, you should inform us of such changes so that our records may be updated or corrected.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).

Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

Where consent is required for our use of your Personal Information as described herein, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent and cease your use of the Website. If you decide to withdraw your consent, such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before such withdrawal.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Civil Code Sec. 1798.100, et seq. (also known as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018) ("CCPA") provides certain rights to California residents regarding their Personal Information. A California resident has the right to request that we disclose certain information, including: (1) the categories of Personal Information we have collected about that California resident, (2) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, (3) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom Cognitect shares Personal Information, and (5) the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about the resident. A California resident has the right to request that we delete his/her Personal Information. Finally, a California resident has the right not to be discriminated against for exercising his/her privacy rights under the CCPA. You can request such Personal Information and change your Personal Information by emailing us at support@cognitect.com.

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: California residents may reach the Compliant Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services for the California Department of Consumer Affairs by mail at 1625 North Market Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210.
