Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and retain information about you that directly identifies you, or that makes you identifiable (“Personal Data”) and how you can exercise the privacy rights available to you.

We collect information from you when you register on our site or fill out a form. Any data we request that is not required will be specified as voluntary or optional. When registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, mailing address or credit card information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.
The information we may collect includes, without limitation:

- Service Inquiries or Demo Requests: We may collect Personal Data that you provide when you inquire about our Services or request a demo. This information may include your business information including your first name, last name, email, phone number, company, company size, industry type, and any other information you provide, including your interests in relation to our Services or applicable business information. We use this information to communicate with you about your inquiry or interests, provide a demo or agree to a proof of concept trial period, or schedule an information call to discuss our Services in more detail.

Please note that we also use third party payment processors to process payments you make to us. As such, we do not retain any personally identifiable financial information such as credit card numbers when payments are made through such third parties. Rather, all such information is provided directly by you to that third-party processor. The payment processor’s use of your Personal Data is governed by their privacy policy.
- Cloud Office Productivity Data: Metadata, user generated content, permissions, actions (e.g., internal and external file sharing) and access settings across user cloud productivity applications that contain Personal Data.
How we use your information
The Personal Data we collect from you may be used as follows:
- We provide the Services to protect your cloud productivity applications. We process Personal Data as necessary to perform these activities. In addition to storing and retrieving data, we carry out necessary processing to generate reports of your productivity application activity and help you make informed security decisions.
- Take action on your behalf to maintain desired security properties of your cloud environment and your data.
- To personalize your experience (your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs).

Cookies
We use cookies to provide our Service to you. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service provider systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. If you turn off cookies, you may still access the material.security site and learn about the product, but registering and enabling our Service requires cookies in order to connect with your account.
Our role as exclusive data processor
Our enterprise customers may choose to use our Services to process their organization's cloud productivity applications, which may contain your Personal Data. The data that we process through our Service is processed by us on behalf of our customers, and our privacy practices will be governed by the agreements that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns about how such data is handled or would like to exercise your rights, you should contact the person or entity (i.e., the data controller) who has contracted with us to process this data. Our customers control the processing of Personal Data in these cases and determine the security settings within the Service, its access controls and credentials. We will, however, provide assistance to our customers to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our agreement with them.
Disclosing your information to third parties
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personal Data except in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is required to comply with applicable law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses as long as it adheres to applicable data use policies (e.g., Google API Services User Data Policy).
We use sub-processors to provide us with some services that are necessary to provide the features of our website. Those subprocessors and the services they provide are listed at https://material.security/subprocessors.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction, as permitted by applicable law and contract.
Limited use of your cloud email data
We adhere to all restrictions and limitations defined by your cloud environment and productivity service provider. For example, Material Security's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google Restricted scopes APIs will adhere to Google’s Google API Services User Data Policy including its Limited Use requirements.

We locate our data centers in the United States and by utilizing our Services, you expressly instruct us to process Personal Data within the United States and consent to its processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

In all other situations, we will request express consent from you before handling your Personal Data.
