This Privacy Statement describes the privacy practices of Sumo Logic, Inc. and its affiliates (“Sumo Logic”, “we” or “us”) and applies to the information we collect about you when you use our websites or cloud analytics solutions (collectively, the “Services”), or when you otherwise communicate with us. This statement does not apply to the information we process on behalf of our customers via our cloud analytics solutions (which is subject to our customer agreements), but it does apply to the information we collect about the individuals that use these solutions on behalf of our customers.
We may change this Privacy Statement from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this statement and, in cases where there are material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification) prior to the changes becoming effective. We encourage you to review the Privacy Statement whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
Please note that our Services are designed for enterprise customers, and we process personal information of business contacts who work for those customers. Some U.S. state privacy laws (such as Virginia) do not apply to personal information collected in a commercial context and so would not apply to the personal information we process under this Privacy Statement.

ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS SERVICES PROVIDED BY OTHERS
We allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These entities use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites and online services, including your IP address, device identifiers, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by Sumo Logic and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites, and better understand your online activity. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info. If you are in a country in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland or the UK please visit www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
Various browsers allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the individual about the individual’s browser DNT setting. At this time, there is no general agreement on how companies like Sumo Logic should interpret DNT signals. Therefore, Sumo Logic does not currently commit to respond to DNT signals, whether that signal is received on a computer or on a mobile device.

You may update certain account information you provide via our Services (such as your name and email address) by logging into your account, but note that we retain certain information when required or permitted by law.

INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
This section provides additional disclosures required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
In the last 12 months, we collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name and contact information), professional or employment-related information and education history (such as for job applications or about potential and current customer contacts), internet or other electronic network activity information (such as browsing behavior), inferences (such as approximate location or product interests) and other personal information (such as payment method information). For more details about the personal information we collect, including the categories of sources, please see the “Collection of Information” section above. We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in the “Use of Information” section above. We share this information with the categories of recipients described in the “Sharing of Information” section above. Further details on our sharing are provided below:

We offer various financial incentives. These may benefit business contacts who sign up to receive our marketing emails or submit helpful information to Sumo, or respond by providing personal information in the course of a Sumo giveaway or other special happenings. For example, we may provide branded Sumo gear to survey participants, gift boxes for customers attending events, free add-ons to our Services for joining a promotion, or a limited discount for new customers. When you participate in a financial incentive, we collect personal information from you, such as identifiers like your name and email address. You can opt into a financial incentive by following the sign-up instructions for that financial incentive, and for any ongoing benefits you have the ability to opt-out of the incentive at any time such as by following the unsubscribe instructions in our promotional emails. In some cases, we may provide additional terms and conditions for a financial incentive, which we will provide to you when you sign up. The value of your personal information is reasonably related to the value of what is presented to you.
Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information, to delete their personal information, to opt out of certain uses of sensitive personal information (should that become applicable to our processing), and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
California Consumers also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sharing, and sales of personal information. As described in the “Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others” section above, we work with third parties (including advertising partners and social media platforms) to serve you personalized ads on other websites and services based on the identifiers and electronic network activity information they receive through our Services. Some of these activities may be considered “sales” or “sharing” of your personal information. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 16.
California consumers can opt out of “sales” and “sharing” occurring through these activities by visiting www.aboutads.info. California consumers may make any other rights request by contacting us at [email protected] or toll-free at 855-564-7866. We are also in the process of updating our website to enable a site-specific opt-out in and will update this Statement to include that option immediately then. We will verify your request by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file about you. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf. Authorized agents should submit requests through the same channels, but we will require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and may also still ask you to verify your identity with us directly.
We retain personal data no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, unless applicable law requires storage for a longer period of time.

The remaining sections of this statement apply to you if you use our Services while in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland or UK.

Data Transfers and Retention
Sumo Logic processes and stores information in the U.S. and other countries, which may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. For example, we transfer personal data to our corporate affiliates located in the United Kingdom, Poland, United States, Japan, India and Australia for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. Transfers out of the European Economic Area (EEA), UK and Switzerland not deemed adequate by the European Commission are pursuant to Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission.
References to “we” or “us” in the following paragraph refer only to Sumo Logic Inc. We adhere to applicable European legislation in connection with our transfer of personal data to the United States that relates to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK and Switzerland (“Covered Data”). We are committed to subjecting all personal data including Covered Data received from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to adequate protection mechanisms, as may be changed with changing law. If residing in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may also contact us at: [email protected] or by mail to: SumoLogic Limited, c/o General Counsel, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6HN.
