DATA COLLECTION AND USE
CrowdStrike Websites and Web Portals
CrowdStrike Websites provide Internet based access for users to learn about CrowdStrike and its Offerings and to communicate with CrowdStrike and with others. CrowdStrike web portals that may exist within our Offerings (“Web Portals”) provide customers with Internet based access to our Offerings. When an individual uses our Websites and Web Portals, CrowdStrike gathers information, some of which is personal information. Information collected and used by CrowdStrike may include, among other things, the Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser information, device ID, the type of computer and technical information about a user’s means of connection to our Websites or Web Portals, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. From users who are required to login to gain access to a particular Website feature or Web Portal, we collect usernames, passwords, and other login credentials that are used for the purpose of verifying user authorization to access the feature or Offering.
We may also use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies (such as scripts and tags) on our Websites and Web Portals. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies don’t read or modify data on the user’s computer. A web beacon is a small graphic file that is placed on the web page the user visits and is often used in conjunction with cookies. We use third party service providers to help us implement and utilize cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to analyze the data they collect. In some cases, we link the information gathered by cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to a user’s personal information. We use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to help our Websites and Web Portals function properly, to collect information about how users interact and use our Websites and Web Portals, to personalize or customize the user’s experience (based on preferences or geography, for example) on our Websites and Web Portals, and to gather information about a user’s browsing habits. We may also use cookies, web beacons, tracking technologies, and the data they collect to tailor our Websites, Web Portal, and communications so they are more relevant to a user’s interests.
We and our third party partners use Local Storage (HTML5) to provide certain features on our Websites and Web Portals, to display advertising based on your web browsing activities, and to store content information and preferences. Various web browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5.
We partner with a third party to display advertising on our Websites or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this site and other sites to provide you advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt out by clicking here. If you are located in the European Union, click here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads; you will continue to receive generic ads.

If you make posts to our blogs, your words and identity are made available to other people using the blog. We are under no obligation to publish, maintain, or retain any of your posts. If you provide us with feedback about our company, Offerings, or Websites, we consider this to be freely given and we may use your feedback without compensation or attribution to you.
If we have a referral service that you chose to use to tell a friend or other point of contact about us, we will ask you for the contact’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit our Website. CrowdStrike will store this information for the sole purpose of sending the one-time email and for tracking the success of our referral program.

The Websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Some webpages include a Google Custom Search box to enhance your experience. Any queries that you submit through the use of a Google Custom Search will be transmitted to Google. Google’s privacy policy is located at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
CrowdStrike uses LinkedIn Lead Accelerator on the Websites to engage with visitors. You may elect to use the LinkedIn Auto-Fill functionality on certain CrowdStrike webpages, which will import LinkedIn public profile information to a web form to make it easier for you to submit such information to us. LinkedIn’s privacy policy is located at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/pop/pop-privacy-policy. The Websites also use Marketo, a marketing automation tool by Marketo, Inc. to track interest in our products and services (“Marketo”). Marketo’s privacy policy is located athttp://www.marketo.com/trust/legal/privacy/.
The Websites use the Lucky Orange analytics system to help improve usability and the customer experience. Lucky Orange may record mouse clicks, mouse movements and scrolling activity. Lucky Orange does not track this activity on any site that does not use the Lucky Orange system. You can choose to disable the Lucky Orange Service at http://www.luckyorange.com/disable.php.
Offerings
CrowdStrike has numerous Offerings, including but not limited to platform and cloud based security and intelligence subscription services, professional services, free community security tools, and more. All of our Offerings are centered on our mission to provide cutting-edge security solutions to our customers.
In order to accomplish our mission, CrowdStrike is leading the industry in Big Data Security, taking advantage of high volume, high velocity, and high variety information to reveal relationships, dependencies, and perform predictions of outcomes and behaviors in order to detect, contain, and mitigate network intrusions and identify the attackers. Most of the information CrowdStrike collects through its Offerings is metadata, for example, data about how and when a device or network is being used, login times and attempts, registry keys, types and versions of operating systems, browsers, and information about software applications. Some of the data we collect may be considered personal information depending on the laws of the location where it is collected, such as IP addresses. In some cases, we collect personally information as it may appear within usernames, filenames, file paths, and machine names. However, we only use the data that we collect through our Offerings to help our customers and improve our capabilities in the way described in our more specific product or service documentation and agreements. CrowdStrike also offers customers the ability to directly provide to CrowdStrike, or for customers to have CrowdStrike Offerings configured to collect files (including the content of those files) and other information related to the files for security analysis and response, or when submitting crash reports, to make the product more reliable. At your direction, we may also collect or retrieve files as part of our Offerings. The files and related information may contain personal information.
An important type of data we detect and collect, analyze, and use through our Offerings (or provide our customers the ability to provide to us) is information about adversaries, for example, malware and URLs where adversaries try to send your data. We often discover this type of information from analyzing samples customers provide to us or from the data we collect from customers through our Offerings. We use the information we collect about adversaries to help all of our customers and the public – DETECT, RESPOND, REVEAL. However, when we share information that we learn about adversaries, we don’t identify customers or individuals, other than, of course, the adversary, that’s the WHO, WHAT and WHY of our security mission.
To the extent CrowdStrike collects personal information through its Offerings, CrowdStrike collects that information under the authority and direction of its customers, which often are corporate entities. CrowdStrike typically has no direct relationship or contact with an individual whose personal information we may collect or receive from a corporate customer and subsequently analyze and use. Regardless, the use of information collected through our Offerings shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which our customers have engaged CrowdStrike. We do not use any personal information collected through our Offerings to contact or market products or services to these individuals. We also do not provide any personal information obtained through the Offerings to third parties for the purpose of contacting or marketing products or services to these individuals.
If you are a user of one of our Offerings, we will obtain the personal information you provide us during the sales and/or fulfillment process. We may use personal information collected such as name, phone number, mailing address, and email address to contact you and to provide you with Offerings, send you an invoice, perform accounting, auditing and collection activities, answer questions, provide support and tell you about other Offerings.
If you are an individual who would no longer like to be contacted by one of our customers, please contact the customer that you interact with directly. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct or delete personal information, should direct his/her query to the CrowdStrike’s customer, the data controller. If our customers request CrowdStrike to correct or delete the personal information, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
We will retain the personal information we process on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide services to our customers, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
We may transfer personal information to companies that help us provide our service. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our customers.
How We Protect Your Information
The security of customer data and your personal information is not only important to us, it is our mission. We adopt data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of customer data and your personal information. We follow generally accepted practices to protect customer data and the personal information collected and submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. If you have questions about the security of your personal information collected through our Offerings or Websites, you can contact us at privacy@crowdstrike.com.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which we collected it and for a reasonable period thereafter in order to comply with audit, contractual, or legal requirements. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may retain aggregated or de-identified data indefinitely or to the extent allowed by applicable law. We may retain personal information preserved in automatically generated computer back up or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of our information technology systems procedures.
User Access and Choice
You may request us to correct, update, amend, or remove your personal information that you know or have reason to believe is in our possession by emailing us at privacy@crowdstrike.com or by contacting us by postal mail at the contact information listed below. When contacting us, please provide us with detailed information about the personal information you are requesting we correct, update, amend, or remove, and the timeframe and manner in which you believe we came to collect it. We will respond to your request within 30 days. If we obtained your personal information from a customer or third party acting on your behalf, you should contact the company or person you provided your information to. In certain circumstances, we may be required by law, our auditors, or other legitimate business purposes to keep information about you.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent the personal information we collect from our Websites to others. We may share aggregated demographic information regarding visitors and users of our Websites with our affiliates, business partners, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. When we collect personal information through our Offerings, it is made available to the CrowdStrike customer who was the source of the information and we use it as described in the Privacy Notice. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business; provide, support, maintain, or secure our Offerings and our Websites; or administer activities on our behalf, such as marketing campaigns. It may be necessary to provide or allow access to your personal information to these third party service providers for those purposes. In addition, we provide information regarding our business to our auditors and legal counsel and, in some cases, that information may contain personal information, but they may only use it for the purpose of providing their professional services.
We may also disclose your personal information as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process; or when we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. We may transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.
Our Websites include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of CrowdStrike. If you submit personal information to any of those sites or services, your information is governed by their privacy notices. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy notice of any website service you visit.
Our Websites include social media features and widgets, such as the Facebook Like button, Share This button, or interactive mini-programs that run on our Websites. These features and widgets may collect your IP address, which webpage you are visiting on our Websites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature and widget to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Websites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
CrowdStrike’s mission is worldwide, and therefore, we may store information in the United States and other locations worldwide where we, or our service providers, have facilities.
This Privacy Notice does not pertain to personal information of CrowdStrike employees.
