For information about our privacy practices in relation to the Platform, please see the Platform Privacy Policy.

By using this Site and/or otherwise communicating with us, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION SHARING

Except as provided below, Looker will not share PII with third parties unless you have consented to the disclosure.

In certain circumstances, Looker may share certain PII with third-party service providers that need your information to provide the following operational or other support services to Looker:

To ensure the confidentiality and security of your PII, such service providers must agree to safeguard your PII shared with them, if any. These service providers are also restricted by contract from using your PII in any way other than to provide services for Looker.

Looker may also provide your PII to a third party if:

Looker may also share your PII with our subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners, to facilitate our global operations and in accordance with applicable laws. We may also provide your PII to a third party in connection with a merger or acquisition of Looker, either in part or in whole, or the assignment or other transfer of the Site. In such event, such third party will either:

  1. continue to honor the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy; or
  2. if the third party proposes to materially change the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy:
    1. involving your PII collected before such merger, acquisition, assignment or other transfer, inform you and get your express affirmative consent to opt in to the new practices; and/or
    2. involving your PII to be collected after such merger, acquisition, assignment or other transfer, inform you in some prominent manner enabling you to make a choice about whether to agree to the new practices.

You may choose to opt-out of allowing your PII to be shared with certain third-parties. To do so, please contact markops-requests@looker.com with your request. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner and grant your request to the extent permitted by law.

COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small data files that are placed on users’ devices to monitor how users interact with websites and other online services. Pixel tags, also called web beacons or single-pixel gifs, tag a graphic on a web page or in an email message that tracks pages viewed or email messages opened. Logs are continuous digital records of events and interactions that occur on a website. Cookies, pixel tags, and/or logs can be used to identify your IP address, browser type, domain name, and specific web pages through which you click and/or email messages you open.

Looker and our service providers may use cookies, pixel tags, and/or logs because they:

Most web browsers allow you to erase cookies on your computer, block cookies from your computer, or notify you when a cookie is stored on your computer. If you choose to disable or otherwise block certain cookies, you may be unable to use or experience decreased functionality with parts of the Site. Your browser may also support functions to block or restrict pixel tags.

HOW WE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

We track visitors to the Site over time (see “COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES” section above), We do not track visitors to the Site across third-party websites and therefore we do not respond to Do Not Track signals in these circumstances. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content. If you are visiting such sites, many browsers will allow you to set Do Not Track signals so that third parties know that you do not want to be tracked.
