Please read this Privacy Statement to learn how we collect, use, share and otherwise process information relating to individuals (“Personal Data”) and to learn about your rights and choices regarding our processing of your Personal Data.
A reference to “CloudBadger,” “we,” “us” or the “Company” is a reference to CloudBadger Pty, Ltd., and the relevant affiliates involved in the processing activity.
1. Responsible CloudBadger Entity
CloudBadger is the controller of your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Statement unless expressly stated otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Statement does not apply to the extent we process Personal Data in the role of a processor on behalf of our customers, including where we offer to our customers various cloud products and services through which our customers (and/or their affiliates):
(a) create their own websites and applications running on our platforms;
(b) sell or offer their own products and services;
(c) send electronic communications to other individuals; or
(d) otherwise collect, use, share or process Personal Data via our cloud products and services.
For detailed privacy information related to where a CloudBadger customer and/or a customer affiliate who uses the CloudBadger cloud products and services are the controller, please reach out to the respective customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those outlined in this Privacy Statement. For more information, please also see Section 10.3 below.
2. Processing Activities Covered
This Privacy Statement applies to the processing of Personal Data collected by us when you:
(a) visit our websites that display or link to this Privacy Statement;
(b) visit our branded social media pages;
(c) visit our offices;
(d) receive communications from us, including emails, phone calls or texts;

We also host externally developed applications, which is an online marketplace for on-demand web applications that run on the CloudBadger platform, and that may be provided by third parties or by us. When applications are provided by us and the application links to this Privacy Statement, this Privacy Statement applies. When third parties provide applications, the privacy statement of the third party applies, and this Privacy Statement does not apply.
Our websites and services may contain links to other websites, applications and services maintained by third parties. The information practices of such other services, or of social media networks that host our branded social media pages, are governed by third parties’ privacy statements, which you should review to understand those third parties’ privacy practices better.

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 relating to additional security requirements.
4. What device and usage data we process
We use common information-gathering tools, such as tools for collecting usage data, cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to automatically collect information that may contain Personal Data from your computer or mobile device as you navigate our websites, our services or interact with emails we have sent to you.
4.1. Device and usage data
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically on connection with the use of the website by individual users. This information may include IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches, operating system and system configuration information and date/time stamps associated with your
usage. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us provide and improve our websites and to guarantee their security and continued proper functioning.
Additionally, we gather certain information automatically as part of your use of our cloud products and services. This information may include IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take, operating system and system configuration information and date/time stamps associated with your usage. This information is used to maintain the security of the services, provide necessary functionality, as well as to improve service performance. Further to this, it is used to assess and improve customer and user experience of the services, to review compliance with applicable usage terms, to identify future opportunities for the development of the services, to assess capacity requirements, to identify customer opportunities and for the security of CloudBadger generally (in addition to the security of our products and services). Some of the device and usage data collected within the services, whether alone or in conjunction with other data, could be personally identifying to you. Please note that this device and usage data is primarily used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to specific individuals), apart from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security purposes or as required as part of our provision of the services to our customers (where we act as a processor).
4.2. Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies on our website and in email communications
We use cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons, tags and JavaScript, alone or in conjunction with cookies, to compile information about the usage of our websites and interaction with emails from us.
When you visit our websites, an authorized third party or we may place a cookie on your browser and/or device, which collects information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different sites. Cookies allow us to track usage, determine your browsing preferences and improve and customize your browsing experience.
We use both session-based and persistent cookies on our websites. Session-based cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer. To change your cookie settings and preferences for the site you are visiting, click the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of the page. You can also control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but choosing to disable cookies may limit your use of certain features or functions on our websites and services.
We also use web beacons on our websites and in email communications. For example, we may place web beacons in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of our websites. Such technologies are used to operate and improve our websites and email communications. For instructions on how to unsubscribe from our marketing emails, please see 10.4 below.
The following describes how we use different categories of cookies and similar technologies and your options for managing the data collection settings of these technologies:
Type of Cookies
Required Cookies
Required cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. Some examples include session cookies needed to transmit the website, authentication cookies, and security cookies.
If you have chosen to identify yourself to us, we may place on your browser a cookie that allows us to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the websites and to process your online transactions and requests.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance functions, performance, and services on the website. Some examples include cookies used to analyze site traffic, cookies used for market research, and cookies used to display advertising that is not directed to a particular individual.
Functional cookies may also be used to improve how our websites function and to help us provide you with more relevant communications, including marketing communications. These cookies collect information about how our websites are used, including which pages are viewed most often.
We may use our own technology or third-party technology to track and analyze usage information to provide enhanced interactions and more relevant communications and to track the performance of our advertisements.
For example, we use Google Analytics (“Google Analytics”), a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You can learn about Google’s privacy practices by going to http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how our websites are used, including the number of visitors, the websites from which visitors have navigated to our websites, and the pages on our websites to which visitors navigate. This information is used by us to improve our websites.
CloudBadger may also utilize HTML5 local storage or Flash cookies for the purposes mentioned above. These technologies differ from browser cookies in the amount and type of data they store and how they store it.
Targeting or Advertising cookies
Targeting or advertising cookies track activity across websites to understand a viewer’s interests, and to direct specific marketing to them. Some examples include cookies used for remarketing or interest-based advertising.
We sometimes use cookies delivered by third parties or by us to show you ads for our products that we think may interest you on devices you use and to track the performance of our advertisements. For example, these cookies collect and remember information such as which browsers have visited our websites.
CloudBadger also contracts with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on our websites, from emails and on third-party websites. Advertising networks follow your online activities over time and across different websites or other online services by collecting device and usage data through automated means, including through the use of cookies. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use, such as a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet. Third parties use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests. You may see their advertisements on other websites or mobile applications on any of your devices. This process also helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
