safeguarding our interests.
Information you provide through public forums
We may provide bulletin boards, blogs, user-editable documents or chat rooms on our Websites. Any personal
information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these
forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personal information
you choose to submit in these forums. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal
information. Each participant’s opinion expressed is his or her own and should not be considered as reflecting
the opinion of Zerto. We will use the information we collect through these public forums:

Our legal basis for processing personal information that we gather through public forums is that it is necessary
for our legitimate interests in conducting and developing our business and meeting and anticipating the
requirements of our customers.
Information we collect about how you navigate our Websites and Apps
We also use commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as
you navigate our Websites, including technical information that your mobile device sends when you use our Apps,
such as the device model and the operating system of your device (“Web Site Navigational
Information”). Web Site
Navigational Information includes standard information from your web browser (such as browser type and browser
language), your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the actions you take on our Websites
(such as the web
pages viewed and the links clicked). We use Web Site Navigational Information to operate and improve our
Websites. We may also use Web Site Navigational Information in combination with visitor information to provide
personalized information about Zerto.
Our legal basis for processing this information is that it is necessary for our legitimate interests in
conducting and developing our business and meeting and anticipating the requirements of our customers.
Cookies
We use “cookies” to make interactions with our Websites easier and more meaningful. When you visit our Websites,
our servers send “cookies” to your computer. Standing alone, “cookies” do not directly identify you; they merely
recognize the device you are using to connect with the Websites by means of your web browser.
There are two types of “cookies”: session-based and persistent-based. Session “cookies” exist only during one
session; that is, they are erased from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your
computer. Persistent “cookies” remain stored on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your
computer.
We use persistent “cookies” that only we can read and use to identify devices (and visitors) that have previously
visited our Websites. We may use information from session and persistent “cookies” in combination with visitors’
information to provide you with more relevant information about Zerto and our products and services.
We also use Google Analytics and other tools to track usage of our Websites. See the “Analytics” section below
for more information.
Analytics
We use third parties to track and analyze usage and volume statistical information regarding individuals who
visit our Websites or use the Services.
For example, we utilize Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc., that we use to gather information
about how users engage with our Services. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit
www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
If you want to opt-out of the collection of information by Google Analytics, please visit
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you wish to opt out of the collection of information by Google Analytics on our App, you can do so in the
‘About’ section of Zerto Mobile or ZVR, respectively. If you wish to opt out of the collection of information by
Google Analytics on our Websites, please change the “Cookies Settings” on our Websites. We also utilize
FullStory which help us to understand usage patterns on our Websites, such as user clicks, mouse movements and
scrolling on our Websites. We use this information troubleshoot bugs, support our customers and build better
user experiences on our Websites. You may opt-out of us collecting and processing this data through the “Cookies
Settings” on our Websites.
Tracking Pixels
We use “tracking pixels” alone or in conjunction with “cookies” to compile information about usage
of our Websites and interaction with emails from us. “Tracking pixels” are clear electronic images that can
recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as “cookies,” when you viewed a particular website
linked to the “tracking pixel,” and a description of a website tied to the “tracking pixelacon.” For example, we
may place “tracking pixels” in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs
you to our Websites.
We use “tracking pixel” to operate and improve our Websites and email communications, to try to
ensure that they are relevant and interesting to the people receiving them. We may use information from “tracking
pixels” in combination with visitors’ information to provide you with information about Zerto or its products or
services.
IP Addresses
When you visit our Websites, we collect your IP address to track and aggregate information that does
not directly identify you. For example, we use IP addresses to monitor the regions from which visitors navigate
our Websites and to direct queries to the most appropriate Zerto personnel.
If you are a prospective or current Zerto customer, your IP address will also be stored in association with your record to make certain functions
available to you, including your access to Portals.
Responding to Do Not Track Signals
Our Services do not have the capability to
respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from various web browsers.
B. Contacts from events and offline activities
Information you provide when you attend an event, or contact us offline
When you register to an event we organize, we will collect personal information about you through the
registration form, or if you contact us otherwise than through our Websites (for example by post, or telephone).
We will collect limited personal information about you, such as your name, company name, address, phone number,
email address and demographic information. We will also collect information about your attendance and
participation in the event.
If you participate in events organized by others, but in which Zerto is represented, we will receive your
information only if you opted-in to have your contact information shared with us as a third-party partner of the
event organizer.
We will use the above information:
- to review and respond to any query you submit to us;
- to provide you with a free trial or demonstration of the Services;
- when requested, to add you to our mailing list and contact you periodically with information about products
and services offered by Zerto (see “Communications” section below); - to comply with obligations that we are subject to under applicable laws, and to enforce and protect our
rights.

conducting and developing our business and meeting and anticipating the requirements of our current and
prospective customers.
C. Billing and licensing information
MSP Billing Information
On a monthly basis, managed service providers (“MSP”) submit a report to us by using the
reporting feature of our software, or alternatively, by enabling our software to
submit the relevant information to us via a secure API in order to produce such a report. These reports cover all
usage information from all data centers, and include the number of virtual machines on which our software was
operated during the applicable month, as well as other relevant information, such as the name of the protected
site, the name of the recovery site, the virtual protection group domain name, the type of virtual machine, etc. We
refer to this as the “MSP Billing Information.”
MSP Billing Information is used only for automated billing purposes.
Support and Mobile App Data
We collect data from whomever enables Zerto Analytics, the Zerto Mobile App, and/or
runs our software. Such data includes, among other things, our licensing information, version information (Zerto and
vSphere), and environment statistics (number of virtual machines, number of replicated virtual machines, number
of VPGs, etc.). The information set forth in this section shall be referred to as the “Collected
Data”.
Collected Data is used by our support team for improving the support provided to customers as well as for
enabling the Mobile App. For example: if we find a bug in a certain version of our software, we may use the
Collected Data to contact customers who are running such version with a proposed bug-fix.
