Confluent, Inc. et ses filiales (« Confluent », « nous », « notre » ou « nous ») comprennent que la vie privée est importante pour les visiteurs de nos site web (nos « Sites ») ainsi que pour les utilisateurs de nos produits et services (nos « Produits »). Cette Déclaration de confidentialité explique comment nous recueillons, utilisons et partageons vos renseignements personnels lorsque vous utilisez les Sites et les Produits qui établissent des liens vers cette Déclaration de confidentialité.
Cette Déclaration de confidentialité ne s'applique pas aux Sites ou aux produits qui affichent ou établissent un lien vers différentes déclarations de confidentialité. Cette Déclaration ne s'applique également pas si Confluent traite les données de nos clients en leur nom ; notre collecte et traitement de ces données est régi par nos accords avec ces clients.

Information you provide directly. We collect and store personal information that you directly provide us through our Site, when using our Products, and other ways, such as through a customer support request, through interactions on social media, participation in a survey or promotion, application for a job, when downloading white papers on our Sites, and at events. Information we collect includes, for example, your name, job title, company name, email address, phone number, mailing address, billing address, city and country, and any data you enter into any ‘free text’ boxes on our forms. We may collect credit card numbers and other payment information if you purchase Products, such as online training, cloud services, or software subscriptions.
Information collected automatically. As further described in the “Our Use of Cookies and Other Technologies” and “Product telemetry data” sections below, we and our third-party partners automatically collect certain types of usage information when you use our Sites or Products. For example, when you visit our Site, your device’s operating system, device identifier and other device information, user agent string, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type, and log data detailing your interactions with our Site (e.g., number of clicks, pages viewed, information searched for), and the website you visited before and after coming to our Site (i.e., referrer header) are logged automatically. When you submit a support ticket, we receive data from the user agent string of your browser, which includes device information, browser information, OS information, city, state, country, and IP address.
Product telemetry data. When you use our Products, we may also collect certain telemetry data and other data about your usage, including your IP Address and other unique identifiers in combination with information about the version of our software you are running and how it is configured, to collect and aggregate certain diagnostic and analytics information. We may combine this information with information you provide when you download our Products or provide to customer support, including the name of your organization or company. You can turn off the collection of telemetry data as described in the “Choices” section below and as described further in the applicable product documentation.
When we collect IP addresses through Control Center, KSQL, or Proactive Support, we take appropriate steps to pseudonymise the IP addresses before it is stored. We employ technical and organizational measures to prevent the reconstitution of IP addresses or reversal of pseudonymization that would allow attribution of the data to a specific individual, including segregating or not collecting any additional information that may be used for attribution. We store the pseudonymized data for 2 years.
The resulting pseudonymised data is used by us on behalf of our customers to (i) maintain and improve Control Center, Confluent Enterprise, and KSQL, and (ii) inform users whether they are running the latest version of KSQL.
Les clients de Confluent Enterprise peuvent choisir d'activer la collecte de plus d'informations concernant le broker Kafka et de le signaler à Confluent en réglant « confluent.support.customer.id » sur leur ID client attribué dans la configuration du broker et en redémarrant le broker. Les informations complémentaires incluent des octets écrits au broker, des octets lu à partir du broker, des vitesses de transmission entrante et sortante, le nombre de topics et de partitions dans le cluster, la configuration du broker avec certains champs filtrés (tels que les configurations SSL connexes, le nom d'hôte etc.). Nous utilisons ces données complémentaires afin d'améliorer l'assistance à la clientèle et réduire le délai de prise en charge pour la résolution d'une demande d'assistance.

Storage and processing. Your information collected through the Sites and our Products may be stored and processed in any country in which Confluent or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities including your region, the United States, Australia, Canada, and the European Economic Area (including the United Kingdom). Our processing locations are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect the data in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Privacy Statement is processed according to the provisions of this Privacy Statement and applicable law wherever the data is located.
International data transfers. When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area (including the United Kingdom) and from Switzerland to the United States or other countries which have not been determined by the European Commission to have laws that provide an adequate level of data protection, we use legal mechanisms, including contracts, designed to help ensure your rights and protections. Specifically, our website servers are located in the United States and our affiliates, partners, third parties and service providers operate in the United States, European Economic Area, Canada, and Australia. This means when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Statement. The safeguard Confluent primarily relies upon is the European Commission-approved standard contractual data protection clauses. For more information about these mechanisms, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “How to contact us” section below.
Keeping your information safe. Confluent cares about the security of your information and takes reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of personal information. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems or your information.
Lawful basis for processing personal information (EEA only). If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Confluent, Inc, is the data controller of your information.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.
Si nous vous demandons de fournir des renseignements personnels afin de respecter une exigence légale ou pour élaborer un contrat avec vous, nous le préciserons au moment opportun et vous indiquerons si fournir vos renseignements personnels est obligatoire ou non (ainsi que les conséquences, le cas échéant, si vous ne fournissez pas vos renseignements personnels). De même, si nous recueillons et utilisons vos renseignements personnels en nous appuyant sur nos intérêts légitimes (ou ceux d'un tiers), nous vous préciserons au moment opportun quels sont ces intérêts légitimes.
Si vous avez des questions concernant la base juridique pour le traitement ou si vous voulez en savoir plus, veuillez nous contacter en utilisant les coordonnées à la fin de cette Déclaration de confidentialité.
Retention. We retain personal information for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so. For example, we retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with Products you have requested or authorized, including maintaining and improving the performance of the Products and protecting system security. We also retain personal data as needed to maintain appropriate business and financial records, protect our legal interests, resolve disputes, or comply with legal or regulatory requirements. 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 store your personal information using appropriate security measures and take appropriate steps designed to isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
