See below for more information about our practices as a data processor and the impact on your Personal Data in our possession.

3. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information from you when you use or interact with our Services. We divide the information we access and collect into two categories: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. In this section, we describe each of the two categories of information which we may collect, and the applicable circumstances under which such collection is performed.

A. “Non-Personal Information” is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a user, which may be made available to us, or collected automatically via your use of the Services. Such Non-personal Information does not enable us to identify the person from whom it was collected, and mainly consists of technical and aggregated usage information which is not linked to an identifiable individual.

B. “Personal Information” is information that pertains or relates to a specific individual, where such individual is identified or may be identified with reasonable efforts or together with additional information, we have access to. Personal Information 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. Personal Information that is collected by us may include the following types of information: name, email address, IP address, device identifier, organization identifiers, name, position, and other personal information provided or otherwise made available to us in connection with or as part of: (i) Contact us via the Website or otherwise; (ii) use of the Services; and (iii) engagement with our support services. In addition, the Personal Information we may collect also includes Candidates’ Information (as defined below).

Most of the information that we collect when you use or access our Services is Non-Personal Information, however we collect and process different types of Personal Data through the respective methods of collection discussed below.

If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information. Further Personal Information will only be stored and processed if you voluntarily provide it to us, e.g., through a contact form.

More specifically we collect and use the following categories and types of Personal Information in the following respective circumstances:

  1. Information you provide us actively and voluntarily when you use or interact with our Website and/or Services. Generally, this category refers to any information, data, or content you actively and voluntarily make available or provide us when and in order to use our Services, information you provide through our “Contact Us” online form or any similar input, and/or information you provide us in your email correspondence with us.
  2. Information we automatically obtain when you use or interact with our Website and/or Services: This category refers to any information we obtain through the Website and/or Services and which is derived, learned, or detected as a result of your access to and/or interaction with the Website and/or Services, for example technical and usage data such as IP addresses, approximate general locations derived from such IP addresses, device data (like type, operating system, browser version, location and language settings used), system logs of actions attributed to those IP addresses, and the relevant cookies and pixels installed or utilized on your device. We perform such automatic collection through use of analytics and system monitoring tools (including cookies and pixels and similar technologies as set forth in our Cookie Policy). Such means of collection allow us to collect information about the pages and screens Users view, the links they click, engagement within the Services, and technical data concerning the performance, functionality, and stability of the Website and Services.
  3. Personal Information collected from other sources: We may also collect Personal Information concerning you, from other third parties who have assured us that they have obtained your consent for such provision of information. For example, we may collect and use your contact information which we may have received from our Customer, your employer, or from another User who invited you to use our Services, as allowed by applicable national laws.

Internal Concerned Parties: We share your Personal Data with our family companies, as well as our employees, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. In addition, should Dragonfly or any of its affiliates undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition, or purchase of substantially all of its assets, your Personal Data may be shared with the parties involved in such event under strict security conditions, for the purpose of evaluating such event and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. If we believe that such a change in control might materially affect your Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail and/or prominent notice on our Services.

Third Party services: We are partnering with a number of selected service providers whose services and solutions complement, facilitate, and enhance our own (“Third Party Service Providers”).

Such disclosure or access is strictly subject to the recipient’s or user’s undertaking of confidentiality obligations, and the prevention of any independent right to use this data except as required to help us provide you with the Services. We remain responsible for any Personal Data processing done by a Third-Party Service Provider on our behalf, except for events outside of our and/or their reasonable control, and except with respect to Third Party Service Providers with whom you are contractually engaged, either through a prior separate contractual engagement and/or through acceptance of their privacy policy and terms of use

Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share your Personal Information with others, with or without notice to you, in cases of emergency or if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of our company, any of our Users, or any members of the general public.

7. STORING, TRANSFER AND RETENTION OF USERS PERSONAL INFORMATION

Information regarding the Users will be maintained, processed and stored by us and by our affiliates and service providers in the US and/or Europe (or with respect to Users of the Services in the region selected by you). Where Dragonfly processes Personal Data on behalf of a Customer (including without limitation, Personal Data of Customer End-Users), such Personal Data will be processed in the locations as permitted and required by the Customer (as further described below).

While the data protection laws in the above jurisdictions may be different than the laws of your residence or location, please know that we, our affiliates and our service providers that store or process your personal information on our behalf are each committed to keeping it protected and secured, pursuant to this Privacy Policy and industry standards, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in their jurisdiction.

Please note that, unless you notify us otherwise in writing, we will retain your name and contact details following the termination of the provision of the Services and use such for our internal record-keeping purposes. If you withdraw your consent to us processing your Personal Information, we will delete your Personal Information from our systems within 90 days from the receipt of such request (except to the extent such data in whole or in part is required to comply with any applicable rule or regulation and/or to respond to or defend against legal proceeding bought against us or our affiliates), except where we process your information as a Processor on behalf of our Customer (such as your employer is a Customer who makes use of our Services, in which case data retention is subject to such Customer’s instructions).

Dragonfly does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of eighteen (18) and does not wish to do so. We reserve the right to request proof of age at any stage so that we can verify that minors under the age of eighteen (18) are not using the Services.

9. JOB CANDIDATES

We welcome qualified candidates (“Candidates”) to apply to any of the open positions posted on our Website by sending us your contact details and CV or resume (“Candidate Information”). Since privacy and discreetness are very important to our candidates, we are committed to keep Candidate Information private and will use it solely for our internal recruitment purposes (including for identifying candidates, evaluating their applications, making hiring and employment decisions, and contacting candidates by phone or in writing). Please note that we may retain Candidate Information submitted to us even after the applied position has been filled or closed for a reasonable time period. This is done so we could re-consider candidates for other suitable positions and opportunities at Dragonfly; so we could can use the Candidate Information as a reference for future applications; and in case the candidate is hired, for additional engagement and business purposes related to their engagement with us. If you previously submitted your Candidate Information to us, and now wish to access it, update it or have it deleted from our systems, please contact us at careers@dragonflydb.io.

10. DATA SECURITY

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Services and of your Personal Information. We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of your information, reduce the risks stemming from loss of information and prevent unauthorized use of any such information. Your Personal Data is stored on secure servers and is not publicly available. We limit access of your Personal Data only to those employees, third-party Service Providers or other partners on a “need to know” basis, and strictly in order to enable us to perform our agreement with you. However, we cannot guarantee absolute information security or eliminate all risks associated with Personal Data, and security breaches may happen. If there are any questions about security, please contact us at info@dragonflydb.io.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

If the law applicable to you grants you such rights, you may ask to access, correct, delete, or transfer your Personal Information that is stored in our systems. You may also ask for our confirmation as to whether or not we process your Personal Information. Subject to the limitations in law, you may request that we update, correct, or delete inaccurate or outdated information. You may also request that we suspend the use of any Personal Information whose accuracy you contest while we verify the status of that data. To the extent set forth in the applicable law, you may also be entitled to obtain the Personal Information you directly provided us (excluding data we obtained from other sources) in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and may have the right to transmit such data to another party.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, contact us with an explicit request at info@dragonflydb.io when handling these requests, we may ask for additional information to confirm your identity and your request.

Please note, upon request to delete your Personal Information, we may retain such data in whole or in part to comply with any applicable rule or regulation and/or to respond to or defend against legal proceedings brought against us or our affiliates.

To find out whether these rights apply to you and for any other privacy-related matters, you can contact your local data protection authority if you have concerns regarding your rights under local law.

12. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

Dragonfly reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, at its sole discretion, so please re-visit this page frequently. We will provide notice of substantial changes of this Privacy Policy on the homepage of our website and/or we will send you an e-mail regarding such changes to the e-mail address that you may have provided to us. Such substantial changes will take effect seven (7) days after such notice was provided on our website or sent by email. Otherwise, all other changes to this Privacy Policy are effective as of the stated “Last Revised” date and your continued use of the Website after the Last Revised date will constitute acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those changes.

13. DATA CONTROLLER/PROCESSOR

Under various privacy, data protection or similar laws, regulations, or additional legal frameworks, such as the GDPR or the CCPA, two separate roles for parties involved in the processing Personal Data typically apply:

  • the “data controller” (or under the CCPA, a “Business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and
  • the “data processor” (or under the CCPA, a “Service Provider” or “Contractor”), who processes such data on behalf of the data controller (or business). Below we provide additional information into how these roles apply to our Services, and where such laws and regulations apply.

Dragonfly is the “data controller” of its Visitors and Candidates’ Personal Data, as detailed above. Accordingly, we assume the responsibilities of a data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Dragonfly is the “data processor” of personal data contained in Customer End-Users’ Personal Data, as submitted or otherwise provided to us by our Customers and/or Customer End-Users. We process such data on behalf of our Customer (who, in turn, is the “data controller” of such data) and in accordance with its reasonable instructions, and our commercial agreements with such Customer.

Our Customers are solely responsible for determining whether and how they wish to use our Services, and for ensuring that all individuals using the Services on the Customer’s behalf or at their request, as well as all individuals whose personal data may be included in any Personal data processed through the Services, have been provided with adequate notice and given informed consent to the processing of their personal data, where such consent is necessary or advised, and that all legal requirements applicable to the collection, use or other processing of data through our Services are fully met by the Customer. Our Customers are also responsible for handling data subject rights requests under applicable law, by their Customer End-Users and other individuals whose data they process through the Services (and accordingly, if you are a Customer End-User or other individual whose Personal Data was provided to us in connection with Customer’s use of the Services, Dragonfly does not provide to you the rights set forth in Section ‎11 above).

If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding personal data we process as a data processor on our Customer’s behalf, including accessing, correcting, or deleting your data, please contact the Customer and/or an applicable Customer End-User directly.

14. GENERAL

This Privacy Policy, its interpretation, and any claims and disputes related hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Israel without respect to its criminal law principles. Any and all such claims and disputes shall be brought in, and you hereby consent to them being litigated in and decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv, Israel.

If you have any questions or comments concerning this Privacy Policy, you are welcome to send us an email at info@dragonflydb.io and we will make an effort to reply within a reasonable timeframe.
