Harness Inc. (“Harness,” “We”, “Us”) is committed to protecting your data privacy. This Harness Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) details our privacy practices for the activities described in this Privacy Policy. Please take the time to read this Privacy Policy carefully in order to understand how we collect, share, and otherwise process information relating to individuals (“Personal Data”), and to learn about your rights and choices regarding our processing of your Personal Data.
In this Privacy Policy, “Harness,” “we,” “our,” and “us” each mean Harness Inc., and the applicable Harness affiliate(s) involved in the processing activity. The addresses of our offices, where Harness Inc. and our affiliates are located, can be found at https://harness.io/company.
1. Harness’s Responsibilities and Roles
Harness is the controller of your Personal Data, as described in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise stated. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent that we process Personal Data in the role of a processor (or a comparable role such as “service provider” in certain jurisdictions) on behalf of our customers, including where we offer to our customers various cloud products and services, through which our customers (and/or their affiliates) connect their own websites and applications to our hosted platform, sell or offer their own products and services, send electronic communications to other individuals, or otherwise collect, use, share or process Personal Data via our cloud products and services.
Each of our customers, not Harness, controls whether they provide you with a subscription to the Harness platform, and if they provide you with a subscription, they control what information about you that they submit to our service. This content may include contact information (such as your first and last name, email address, and phone number), professional information (such as the department you work for at your place of employment), or other types of information a customer chooses to submit. Use of this content by Harness is governed by agreements between Harness and the Customer.
For detailed privacy information applicable to situations where a Harness customer (and/or a customer affiliate) who uses Harness’s cloud products and services is the controller, please reach out to the respective customer directly. We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those set forth in this Privacy Policy. If not stated otherwise either in this Privacy Policy or in a separate disclosure, we process such Personal Data in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of a customer (and/or its affiliates), who is the responsible controller of the applicable Personal Data.
If your Personal Data has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a Harness customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable customer directly. Because we may only access a customer’s data upon instruction from that customer, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide to us the name of the Harness customer who submitted your Personal Data to us. We will refer your request to that customer and support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

3. Device Data, Usage Data, and Metadata We Collect
a. Explanation of Device Data, Usage Data, and Other Metadata and Technology Used Harness collects certain Personal Data from users of its website similar to most websites, applications, and software across the Internet. This type of data collection allows us to better understand how individuals use our websites, products and services and how they perform. For example, we may collect metadata about you, including technical data about your performance or use of our website, products and services. We may also collect device data about you to help us determine that users from one type of device use our websites, products and services in different ways than users of a different type of device, which in turn allows us to improve our websites, products and services, such as through making sure our customers’ users have a more efficient user experience. Such data may also include browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
One common technology we use to collect metadata that may be considered Personal Data is our use of cookies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored on your hard drive or in device memory. We link the information we store in Cookies to the personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our website. Your Web browser may allow you to delete, block or otherwise disable the use of Cookies or HTML5. If you choose to disable Cookies, some areas of our website may not work properly.
The three main types of cookies are:
Essential cookies.Essential cookies are required for website functionality and security. For example, authentication, security, and session cookies may be required for our website or products to work. Functional cookies. We use functional cookies to help enhance our websites’ performance, for market research, or other analytics or advertising that is not tied to a specific individual. For example, we may use Google analytics to help us track how many individuals visited our website. We may also utilize HTML5 local storage cookies for the reasons described in this section. These types of cookies are different from browser cookies in the amount and type of data they store and how they store it. Targeting or advertising cookies.We use targeting and advertising cookies to help us understand our marketing efforts and to reach potential customers across the web. For example, we contract with third-party advertising networks that may track your activity over time and across different channels, including our websites, email activity, and other websites and applications that display advertisements. They may use this tracking information to help us understand and predict your interests, to display an advertisement for Harness on another website, or email you with a marketing communication for a Harness product. A second common technology we use to collect metadata that may be considered Personal Data is beacon technology. We use beacons in our websites and in email communications to you. Beacons provide us with information about your activity and help us to improve our business operations and strategy, such as by understanding our email communications’ functionality and improving our websites and content. For example, if you click on a marketing email we send to you about a new product or service, the beacon will provide signals to us that you and your organization may be interested in learning more.
b. Data Collected from Harness Products and Ancillary Products We offer products that collect both customer related data and usage related from Harness products. Our collection of both types of data enables us to provide and innovate upon Harness products, which in turn allows us to act as a service provider to our customers and to continuously improve upon the services we provide to our customers. In conjunction with the products we make available to our customers, we may collect additional data, such as account usernames, user-agent and browser version, the URLs you visit, logs of your usage and click activities, logs about your login history, identity confirmation, and device data (such as whether your device is managed by an administrator, the operating system installed on the device, and similar device or version information). Collectively, we refer to this data as “Ancillary Data”. Some of the Ancillary Data we receive is dependent on your organization’s policies and settings and what it permits to be shared with Harness. Harness uses Ancillary Data to improve security and to provide and improve its products to customers, including to better understand customer behavior to create new features and provide threat-related insights for our customers. For example, we may use the URL you visit to let you better manage your passwords for the websites you visit.
The following product collects and processes Ancillary Data: the Harness browser plugin Through the Harness browser plugin, the Ancillary Data we collect includes details about your login session, IP address, user-agent, and the web application name and website address, as well as other information that is not personal in nature. In addition, we may collect interaction data about your use of the Harness browser plugin. To opt-out of this, please see the section on Information Choices below. We use the information collected through the Harness browser plugin for security purposes and to provide features, such as by allowing you to better manage your passwords for websites that you visit.
c. Intentional Disclosures to Third Parties As part of the functionality we make available on our websites and to better reach our customers and prospective customers, there may be categories of third parties that are authorized by us to operate on our websites and access your Personal Data, such as your contact data, IP address or cookies. Depending on your location, (for example, California and the European Union), Harness only shares Personal Data with such third parties if you agree to such sharing through a website banner or form. In other parts of the world, this information may be automatically collected when you visit our websites. These categories of third parties include, but are not limited to, advertising networks and social networks, including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit and Quora. At any time, you may choose to withdraw your decision to share personal data with these third parties through our websites by visiting the section on Information Choices below. For specific details on these companies’ privacy practices, please visit their privacy policies.
4. How We Use Personal Data

In general, we use your Personal Data as is necessary to run our business and carry out our day-to-day activities.

Communicate information about our products and services. We may use your Personal Data, such as contact data, Ancillary Data, and metadata, to send you transactional communications, notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages regarding our products and services that may be useful to you and your organization.

We use your Personal Data, such as contact data, Ancillary Data, and other metadata, about how you use the products and services to send promotional communications that may be of specific interest to you and your organization, including by email and by displaying Harness marketing communications on other companies’ websites and applications, as well as on third-party platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

Manage contests or promotions. Harness may occasionally run contests or other special promotions, and if you register for one, we may process your Personal Data, such as contact information, biographical information, and contract-related data to perform our contract with you. Harness may also use the Personal Data, such as contact data, collected in these contests and promotions to send you promotional material about Harness or our partners. Process payments.

We also use your Personal Data to communicate with you regarding your application or opportunities at Harness and to send you new hire and employee experience information. We may verify your information, including through reference checks and, where allowed, background checks. Other purposes for our legitimate interests: Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, interests, or the interests of others, we may use your Personal Data in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, and audit functions, protecting against misuse or abuse of our products and services, and protecting personal property or safety. Other purposes with your consent: We may use your Personal Data if you have given us consent to do so for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish testimonials or featured customer stories to promote our products and services, with your permission. If we process your personal data for a purpose other than that set out above, we will provide you with information prior to such processing.
Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data (for European Economic Area Individuals)
If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have a legal basis or bases for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal bases depend on the products and services that your organization has purchased from Harness, how such products and services are used, and how you choose to interact and communicate with Harness’s website, systems, and whether you attend Harness events. This means we collect and use your Personal Data only where:
We need it to operate and provide you with our products and services, provide customer support and personalized features, and to protect the safety and security of our products and services; It satisfies a legitimate interest of Harness’s (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to provide information to you about our products and services that we believe you and your organization may find useful, and to protect our legal rights and interests; You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or We need to comply with a legal obligation. If you have consented to our use of Personal Data about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your Personal Data because we or a third party (for example, your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use; however, in some cases, this may mean that you no longer use our products and services.

If you choose to register for or attend an event or webinar that we host (such as our Unscripted conference), enter a contest or raffle with us and a sponsor, or download content (such as a whitepaper) from our website, then we will share your contact information, content interest information or other activity data, and any other information, including Personal Data, collected in the course of these activities for commercial purposes with those sponsors.

6. Harness’s Security Measures
Security is a critical priority for Harness. We maintain a comprehensive, written information security program that contains industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access to Personal Data.
However, no security system is perfect, and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, including Personal Data, is absolutely safe from intrusion or other unauthorized access by others. You are responsible for protecting your password(s) and maintaining the security of your devices.
If you use the Harness online service via a subscription purchased for you by a Harness customer, then that customer is responsible for configuring your instance appropriately. Additional information about security settings and configurations can be found in the documentation related to our online service, which is available at https://ngdocs.harness.io/

Your Personal Data may be processed outside your jurisdiction, and in countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or your local legislature and/or regulator, and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction, such as the European Economic Area. We ensure that the recipient of your Personal Data offers an adequate level of data protection, for example, by entering into standard contractual clauses for the transfer of data as approved by the European Commission (as described in Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation) (if required), or we will ask you for your prior consent to such international data transfers.

We will retain your Personal Data for a period of time that is consistent with the original purpose of the data collection, or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data by considering the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, and on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
