Notice with third-party service providers who need to access the Personal Data in
order to perform services on behalf of Amplitude, such as processing or storing such
information, securing our Website or Product, or providing analytics services on our
behalf. The third-party service providers are limited to using the Personal Data solely
to provide the services to us and are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal
Data confidential and secure and to use it only for the purposes for which we disclose
it to them.

If you are part of an Amplitude program that allows you to pay fees with a credit card

We may share your Personal Data if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with
applicable laws, regulations, respond to a court order, subpoena or a government
request (such as a search warrant). If a government request or other legal process
requires Amplitude to disclose your personal data, then Amplitude will use reasonable
efforts to provide you with prior notification of the disclosure unless Amplitude is
prohibited by law from doing so.

believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: (i) enforce our agreements and
policies, including for billing and collection purposes, (ii) protect the security or
integrity of the Website or Product; or (iii) protect or defend Amplitude’s legal rights.

In the event that Amplitude is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we

the Website or our Customers’ use of the Product that does not identify any individual.

5. Customer End User Data


This Privacy Notice does not apply to Customer End Users, Customer End User Data or
Customer Applications. With respect to the Personal Data collected by our Customers and
submitted to the Amplitude platform, Amplitude is a processor and only processes such
Personal Data in accordance with the instructions of our Customers. Our Customers may
integrate into their mobile applications, websites or other services (collectively, "Customer
Applications") certain aspects of our Product in order to understand how their own users
("Customer End Users") engage with the Customer Applications ("Customer End User
Data").

Our Customers, not Amplitude, choose the type of Customer End User Data collected by
Customer Applications, and submitted and processed through our Customers’ use of the
Products. We process the Customer End User Data only according to the instructions of
Customers and our legal obligations with respect to the Customer End User Data is set
forth in the agreement between us and our Customers. The collection of Customer End
User Data through Customer Applications is governed by our Customers’ privacy policies,
and if you are a Customer End User then you should review the Customer’s privacy policy
to learn more about the Customer’s data handling practices.

While Amplitude recognizes that an individual has the right to access, delete and amend
the data collected about that individual, Amplitude only has a relationship with our
Customers and does not interact with the Customer End Users. As such, if you are a
Customer End User and you would like to access, amend or delete your data, you need to
contact the Customer directly with your request which Customer may process. Amplitude
will respond within a reasonable period of time to any such request or assistance
requested by our Customer.

Amplitude only retains the Customer End User Data we process on behalf of our Customers
for as long as necessary to provide the Product to our Customers or as required to comply
with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce any agreement.

6. International Transfer
By interacting with the Website or using the Product or otherwise providing information to
Amplitude, you understand that your Personal Data may be transferred to the United States
or another country other than your country of residence and you consent to such transfer.
In order to ensure that your Personal Data receives an adequate level of protection and
security, Amplitude has implemented appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of
Personal Data, as required by applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may
include using the European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses to protect
the transfer of your Personal Data to Amplitude’s corporate affiliates or service providers, if
required by applicable law.

Amplitude complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF”), the UK
Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Swiss-U.S.
DPF”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Amplitude has certified to the U.S.
Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. DPF Principles with regard to the
processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S.
DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the
EU-U.S. DPF. Amplitude has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres
to the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received
from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the
terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF
Principles (together, the “DPF Principles”), the DPF Principles shall govern. To learn more
about the Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”) program, and to view our certification, please
visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

For the actions of third party agents Amplitude engages to process data on our behalf,
Amplitude remains responsible and liable under the DPF Principles if a third party agent
processes the Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless
Amplitude proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

7. Our Commitment To Data Security


Amplitude uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards
designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access,
use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include, for example, physical access
controls, encryption, firewalls, and detection and monitoring. Our personnel who may have
access to your Personal Data are required to keep that information confidential and trained
on their security and privacy obligations.

You, however, are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and
other information used by you to access the Website or use the Product. While Amplitude
does its best to protect your Personal Data, any transmission of your Personal Data is done
at your own risk and Amplitude cannot guarantee that such Personal Data may not be
accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or
managerial safeguards. Except as expressly required by law, we are not responsible for the
theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your Personal Data or information. If
Amplitude learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you
electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Amplitude may post a
notice on the Website or in Product if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you
live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

8. Your Choices About How We Use And Disclose


Information We Collect From You

We strive to provide you with choices regarding your Personal Data and we understand that
you have the right to access, correct, delete, object to and restrict our use of your Personal
Data. We also understand that you have the right to obtain a copy of your Personal Data
from us and to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data by us. Please
note that the rights set forth in this Section 8, unless otherwise noted, apply globally to all
Visitors and Customers, whether or not you are a California resident or a resident of the
EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland. We have created mechanisms to provide you with
the following control over your Personal Data:

services to you or respond to your requests.

You can access, review, correct and/or change your Personal Data by logging into your
account on the Website or Product and visiting your account profile page. You may also
send us an email at [email protected] or [email protected] to request
access to, correct or delete any Personal Data that you have provided to us. In some
cases, we may not be able to delete your Personal Data except by also deleting your
user account.

If you do not wish to have your email address or other contact information used by us
to promote our own products or services, you can opt-out by checking the relevant box
located on the form on which we collect your Personal Data, by updating your user or
subscription preferences in your account profile(s), or by sending us an email stating
your request to [email protected]. If we have sent you a promotional email, you
may unsubscribe to receive future emails via the unsubscribe link in that email or
adjust your user preferences in your account profile as noted above. The opt out
specified above does not apply to information provided to us as a result of a purchase,
product service experience or other transactions. You cannot unsubscribe from non-
promotional and transactional communications.

You may also request a copy of your Personal Data that you have provided to us
directly by sending an email to [email protected] or [email protected]. We
will provide you a copy of your Personal Data in a commonly used electronic form.

Depending on your country or state of residence, including if you are a California


resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Data, certain sharing of
Personal Data with third party ad partners, and the right to limit the use or disclosure
of sensitive personal information. We do not sell your Personal Data or use or disclose
sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by the CCPA.
We may share Personal Data with third party ad partners, such as through cookies or
by providing lists of email addresses for potential customers so we can reach them
across the web with relevant ads. If you wish to opt out of sharing, you may adjust your
preferences in the Cookie Settings.

If you wish to opt out of this sharing of your Personal Data with cookies on this domain,
please update your Cookie Settings.
Please note to exercise the rights set forth above we may ask you to: (1) provide sufficient
information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected
Personal Data, and (2) describe the request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand,
evaluate, and respond to it. Each request that meets both of these criteria will be
considered a "Valid Request." We may not respond to requests that do not meet these
criteria. We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify you and
complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within 30 days of receipt. We will not charge
you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive,
or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will
notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

You may submit a Valid Request, or appeal our response to a valid request, by emailing us
at [email protected] or [email protected] with the appropriate information and
detail.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the GDPR, CCPA or
other applicable data privacy laws or regulations. We will not deny you our goods or
services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and
services if you exercise your rights under the GDPR, CCPA or other applicable data privacy
laws or regulations.
