Privacy Statement revised as of April 21, 2020

1. Overview

Kaseya, its affiliates and group partner companies (“We”, “Us”, or “Our”) recognize the need for protection and management of your personal information. We have therefore adopted this Privacy Statement to assist you in understanding what information We collect and how that information is used and shared. This Privacy Statement applies to the information We collect when you access any Kaseya website, when you purchase or use a Kaseya product, or when you provide any non-public information to us. If you are an employee of Kaseya, you may review the employee-specific privacy policy which can be found in your employee onboarding packet.

Before you access any Kaseya website, such as at https://www.kaseya.com, purchase or use Kaseya products or services, or provide any non- public information to Us, you should review this Privacy Statement to understand Our information collection and use practices.

2. Information We Collect

We collect certain categories of information about you and the device that you are using, particularly when you visit our websites but also when you use or purchase our products or when you provide us information to deliver you newsletters and other communications. In particular:

Contact Information: Contact information is information or data that can be used to identify or contact a specific individual.

This may include billing and other transaction information, credit card number, or other financial information that we can use to ensure proper payment for the services you are purchasing.

We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you.

Tracking and Location Information: We may collect and/or track certain information that is derived from the use of our products such as usage patterns, travel patterns, web site page views and traffic patterns. We may use this tracking and location information for statistical purposes to improve our products and services and to help users manage their environment and infrastructure more efficiently.

Mobile Device Information: When Our products are deployed to mobile devices via a Kaseya Application installed on the device, Our servers automatically record information that may include: the MAC (Media Access Controller) addresses from the network card in or used with your devices; web requests, Internet Protocol addresses, phone numbers, browser types, browser languages, the date and time of request; and other information regarding internet connection activities.
