It does not address our privacy practices relating to job applicants, employees and other personnel.

Region-Specific Disclosures

We may choose or be required by law to provide different or additional disclosures, relating to the processing of Personal information (as defined below) about residents of certain countries, regions or states. Please refer below for disclosures that may be applicable to you:

Nevada: If you are a resident of the State of Nevada, Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a Nevada resident to opt out of future sales of certain covered information that a website operator has collected or will collect about the resident. Although we do not currently sell covered information, please contact us at privacy@dagger.io to submit such a request.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland: If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), United Kingdom ("UK") or Switzerland, or otherwise engage with our European operations, please see the Privacy Disclosures for the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland section below for additional European-specific privacy disclosures, including what constitutes your personal data, the lawful bases we rely on to process your personal data, how we use cookies when you access our Site from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, and your rights in respect of your personal data.

What is Personal Information?

When we use the term "Personal Information" in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual. It does not include aggregated or deidentified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to an individual.

Our Collection of Personal Information

Sometimes we collect Personal Information automatically when an individual interacts with our Services and sometimes we collect Personal Information directly from an individual. At times, we may collect Personal Information about an individual from other sources and third parties, even before our first direct interaction.

Personal Information Collected from Site Visitors and Account Holders

We may collect the following Personal Information submitted to us by visitors to our Site and account holders:

  • Contact Information, including name, email address, mailing address, employer, job title, company name, phone number and communication preferences.
  • Inquiry Information, including information provided in custom messages sent through the forms or contact information provided on our Site.
  • Account Information, including name, company name, employer, job title, email address, username and password, profile information, payment and purchase history information, and any other information you provide to us. Please note we utilize a third-party provider to process payments on our behalf and do not accept payment directly through our Site.
  • Online Community-Related Information, including username, photo or other biographical information, such as occupation, location, social media profiles, company name, areas of expertise and interests.
  • Survey Information, including information provided in any questions submitted through surveys, or content of any testimonials.
  • Event Information, including registration information, attendee badge information, and contact information.

As is true of most digital platforms, we and our third-party providers may also collect Personal Information from an individual's device, browsing actions and site usage patterns automatically when visiting or interacting with our Site, which may include log data (such as internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, browser id, the URL entered and the referring page/campaign, date/time of visit, the time spent on our Site and any errors that may occur during the visit to our Site), analytics data (such as the electronic path taken to our Site, through our Site and when exiting our Site, as well as usage and activity on our Site) and location data (such as general geographic location based on the log data we or our third-party providers collect). We and our third-party providers may use (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual's computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies (collectively, "cookies") to automatically collect this Personal Information. For example, our Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), to collect and view reports about the traffic on our Site. More information about the use of Google Analytics for these analytical and non-advertising purposes can be obtained by visiting Google's privacy policy and Google's currently available opt-out options. To manage cookies, an individual may change their browser settings to: (i) notify them when they receive a cookie, so the individual can choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) automatically reject cookies. Please note that doing so may negatively impact an individual's experience using our Site, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on an individual's device and operating system, the individual may not be able to delete or block all cookies. In addition, if an individual wants to reject cookies across all browsers and devices, the individual will need to do so on each browser on each device they actively use. An individual may also set their email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether they have accessed our email and performed certain functions with it. For more information about these practices in relation to our European operations, please see the "Cookies and Similar Technologies Used on Our Site" section of the Privacy Disclosures for the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland below.

Personal Information from Third Parties

We also obtain Personal Information from third parties; which we often combine with Personal Information we collect either automatically or directly from an individual. We may receive the same categories of Personal Information as described above from the following third parties:

  • Your Employer / Company: If you engage in our Services through your employer or company, we may receive information from the company or another employee of the company such as name and contact information.
  • Platforms: We may receive your information from other platforms (e.g., GitHub) to manage code check-ins and pull requests. If you participate in an open source or community development project, we may associate your code repository username with your community account so we can inform you of program changes that are important to your participation or relate to additional security requirements.
  • Social Media: When an individual interacts with our Services through various social media networks, such as when someone logs in through a social network, "Likes" us on Facebook or follows us or shares our content on Google, Facebook, Twitter, or other social networks, we may receive some information about individuals that they permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive is dependent upon an individual's privacy settings with the social network. Individuals should always review and, if necessary, adjust their privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information and/or linking or connecting them to other services.
  • Service Providers: Our service providers that perform services solely on our behalf, such as survey and marketing providers, collect Personal Information and often share some or all of this information with us.
  • Information Providers: We may from time to time obtain information from third-party information providers to correct or supplement Personal Information we collect. For example, we may obtain updated contact information from third-party information providers to reconnect with an individual.
  • Publicly Available Sources: We collect Personal Information about individuals that we do not otherwise have, such as contact information, employment-related information, and interest-in-services information, from publicly available sources. We may combine this information with the information we collect from an individual directly. We use this information to contact individuals, to send advertising or promotional materials or to personalize our Services and to better understand the demographics of the individuals with whom we interact.
