Crossbeam Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 3, 2024
Welcome to Crossbeam – a data sharing platform that allows our customers to share information with their partners to identify ecosystem-led opportunities and drive growth. This Privacy Policy explains how Crossbeam, Inc., together with its affiliates (collectively, “Crossbeam”, “we”, “our” or “us”), collect, use, disclose and protect information from and about you through our websites any other website or mobile application that links to this Privacy Policy (the “Sites”), and any other interactions (e.g., customer service and other communications) that you may have with Crossbeam (collectively, the “Offerings”).
SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
For purposes of this Privacy Policy:
- A “Customer” means an entity that has entered our Terms of Service, Master Cloud Agreement or other customer agreement with Crossbeam (a “Customer Agreement”) to access our products or solutions (our “Products”).
- A “User” means an individual who accesses our Products as or on behalf of a Customer, including Customer personnel.
- A “Site Visitor” means an individual who visits our Site outside of the context of our Customers’ use of the Products.
This Privacy Policy applies to our handling of information about:
- Site Visitors.
- Prospective Customers and their personnel.
- Current Customers and Users, but only in relation to their procurement of our Products and management of their relationship with Crossbeam.
We refer collectively to these categories of individuals as “you” throughout this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not address our privacy practices relating to Crossbeam job applicants, employees and other employment-related individuals, nor data that is not subject to applicable data protection laws (such as deidentified or publicly available information). This Privacy Policy is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law.
Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a controller subject to the controller’s instructions.
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal data. However, this Privacy Notice does not cover or address how our customers may process personal data when they use our Offerings, or how we may process personal data on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor.
If you have questions about how your information is collected and processed through the Products, please contact the Customer who has provided your information to us for more information. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to personal data we process on behalf of our customers, so we recommend directing any requests to the relevant customer.
Please see the Controller Details and Contact Information section this Privacy Policy for more information about our legal entities operating as the controllers of your personal data.

Where we maintain deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information except as required or permitted by law.
ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
1. ANALYTICS.
We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Offerings to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
2. ONLINE ADVERTISING.
In using the Offerings, we allow select third party advertising technology partners to place cookies or other tracking technologies on the browser of your device to collect information about you as discussed above. These third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google, Facebook, and others) may use this information to serve relevant content and advertising to you as you browse the Internet, and access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your browser to assist in this activity. If you are interested in more information about these online advertising activities, and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. Please note that if you use these mechanisms, you may still see advertising on our Offerings or across the Internet, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Offerings for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals.
HOW WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We will share your information in the following ways:

We provide access to or share your information with select third parties who help us deliver or improve our Products and Offerings or perform services on our behalf, including billing and credit card verification, advertising and marketing, Offerings content and features, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and fulfillment, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and legal services.
