1. What information do we collect?
Information Submitted to the Services
In Short: We collect information that you submit to the Services.
We collect information that you submit to the Services, such as your name, email address, comments, suggestions, feedback, opinions, and media.
Information Automatically Collected
In Short: Some information — such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services.
We employ various services and use cookies to automatically collect information when you visit, use or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
See the following sections for detailed information on how we use cookies and how your data is used.
2. How do we use cookies?
In Short: We use services that rely on cookies for various functionality. You can choose to disable any category, except for those first-party cookies that provide core operations (such as authentication).
Semgrep’s website uses technologies to monitor usage, track performance and provide analytics. Some of these technologies rely on services with broad footprints across the public web (e.g., Google Analytics), and your interactions with our site will be collated with other activities around the web. Any cookie that is not strictly required for the operation of our site, including any targeting advertising service, can be disabled via the Cookie Consent process. We also honor Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track signals that may be configured in your browser.
We categorize the third-party services that Semgrep relies on into three broad categories.
Strictly necessary (always active)
Strictly necessary services are essential for the operation of Semgrep’s Cloud Platform, and as such, they cannot be turned off. Examples include tracking security critical information (such as tracking a user’s authenticated session) or storing state in response to actions a user takes (e.g., setting privacy preferences or filling out forms). While you can configure your browser to block or notify you about these cookies, certain parts of the site may not function properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not shared with third parties.
Functional
Functional services enhance website functionality and personalization. They may be set by Semgrep or third-party providers whose services are incorporated into Semgrep’s Cloud Platform. Disabling these cookies may result in certain services not functioning correctly.
Performance
Performance services enable Semgrep to count visits and analyze traffic sources to measure and enhance the website's performance. They provide insights into the most and least popular pages and how visitors navigate the site. Targeting services help build profiles of our users and give us insights into the potential purchasers of our product. These services rely on identifying your browser and internet device uniquely.
Social media
Our site integrates various social media services and are used to let users share Semgrep content and information more broadly. They can track your browser across other sites and can be used by the social media services to create an interest profile. This may influence the content and ads you encounter on other websites. Blocking social media cookies will disable content sharing integrations.
You have the option to block cookies by adjusting your browser settings or using third-party tools such as uBlock Origin to refuse all cookies or specific ones. Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, including essential cookies, it may restrict your access to certain sections or features of Semgrep’s website.
3. Will your information be shared with anyone?
In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:
Vendors, Consultants and Other Third-Party Service Providers.

Examples include: payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Services, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Services over time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.
Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
Third-Party Advertisers. We may use third-party advertising companies for analytics when you visit the Services. These companies may use information about your visits to our Website(s) and other websites that are contained in web cookies and other tracking technologies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Our servers are located in United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see " WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE? " above), in United States, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
5. How long do we keep your information?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 2 years.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
6. How do we keep your information safe?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at support@semgrep.com.

9. Does Semgrep support do-not-track or global privacy controls?
In Short: Yes, we support Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.

See the Global Privacy Control or EFF Privacy Badger websites for more information on how to enable these features for your browser.
