Scope
For purposes of this Statement, except where a different definition is noted, "Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
"Elastic," "we," "us," and "our" refers to Elasticsearch, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. This Statement provides the following details about your Personal Information over the past 12 months:
- The categories of Personal Information we collected
- The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information
- The categories of third parties to whom we disclosed Personal Information
- The business purpose for which Personal Information may be used or disclosed
- Confirmation that there has been no "sale" or "sharing" or Personal Information
- A description of your rights
This Statement supplements Elastic's General Privacy Statement.
Personal Information does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records
- De-identified or aggregated consumer information
- Other information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as:Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data
- Personal information covered by sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994
This Statement also does not cover the Personal Information we process as a CCPA "service provider" in connection with the use of our products and services as deployed by our business customers. The agreements between Elastic and each of its customers outlines our commitments as a service provider.
California "Shine the Light" law and your California privacy rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine the Light" law, permits consumers who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of Personal Information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties' direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers' Personal Information with third parties for them to directly market their products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, contact us as provided in the How to exercise your rights section below.
