Cerebras is considered the “data controller” of the Personal Data we handle under this Policy. In other words, Cerebras is responsible for deciding how to collect, use and disclose this data, subject to applicable law. The laws of some jurisdictions such as the laws of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom (collectively, “EEA”) require data controllers to tell you about the legal ground that they rely on for using or disclosing of your information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:
Residents of the EEA have the following rights:
To exercise your rights or if you have any other questions about how we process Personal Data as a data controller, you may contact us as described under “How to Contact Us” below. It is our legal obligation to validate any request we receive before responding. Therefore, we will not respond to requests that cannot be validated.
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”) requires us to provide some additional information to California residents. This Section only applies to you if you are a California resident. This Section does not apply to personal information we collect from our employees and job applicants in their capacity as employees and job applicants.
Throughout this Policy, we describe the specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources of that information, and how when we disclose it. Under the CCPA, we also have to provide you with the "categories" of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect and disclose for “business or commercial purposes” (as those terms are defined by applicable law). The categories of personal information are identifiers (such as name, address, and email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); financial data (such as credit card and other financial account information); internet or other network or device activity (such as IP address); geolocation data; professional or employment-related information (such as your current employer and job title); inferences drawn about you; audio and visual information (such as when you call into customer service or visit our offices), and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you. We do not collect sensitive personal information that is within the scope of this Policy.
We, either directly or through vendors, collect and disclose the above-categories of personal information for the purposes described in Section 2 of this Policy.
We collect the categories of personal information identified above from the following sources: (1) directly from you; (2) through your use of the Service; (3) affiliates; and (4) other parties such as social networks.
We describe our information disclosure practices in the Policy above. In the previous twelve months, we may have disclosed certain categories of personal information with other parties, including third parties (as defined by the CCPA) for the business purposes described above in Section 2 of this Policy. For example, you may intentionally direct us to disclose your information with other parties, such as for referral purposes. The information we disclose may include contact information (identifiers).
If you are a California resident, the CCPA may permit you to request that we:
You also have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of personal information, as those terms are defined by the CCPA. Cerebras does not “sell” or “share” personal information and has not done so in the 12 months prior to the effective date of this Policy. As we do not “sell” or “share” personal information, we also do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of children under 16.
You have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
Please submit your requests to the address described under “How to Contact Us” below. In your request, please attest to the fact that you are a California resident. Following your request, we will verify your identity by a method appropriate to the type of request you are making. You may authorize and agent to submit a request on your behalf, so long as you provide the agent with written permission to make such request on your behalf and the agent can verify their identity, in order to protect your personal information.
Please see Section 6 above (“Retention of Your Personal Data”) for how we retain your personal information.
We do not respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals.
We may change or update this Policy from time to time, so we encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If we make any material changes to this Policy, we will notify you as required by law, such as by e-mail to the address you have provided.
