Legal Basis of Processing

Where a legal basis for processing is required (e.g., the European Union and the United Kingdom), we process your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy based on the following legal grounds:

• With Your Consent: In certain instances, we ask for your consent to process your personal information for specific purposes. Provision of your consent is voluntary, and you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
• When Pursuing Legitimate Interests: We process your personal information for our legitimate interests and those of third parties, while applying appropriate safeguards that protect your privacy, and as further described in this Privacy Policy.
• To Perform a Contract With You: We will process your personal information when processing of your personal information is necessary for the evaluation, execution or performance of a contract with you.
• When We Have Legal Obligations: We will process your personal information when we have a legal obligation to do so, for example, if we are responding to a legal process or an enforceable government request, including law enforcement.

In some cases, the provision of personal information may be required by a statutory or contractual obligation.

We may disclose or transfer the personal information listed above to the parties and in the manner described below.

Within Arista and Service Providers: We transfer some of your personal information among our global subsidiaries and to our trusted service providers for their assistance in providing the services described, as required by contractual obligations, legal obligations, and/or based on other legitimate interests or your consent to such transfer. Our Trusted Service Providers (also sometimes referred to as subprocessors) include communications services providers (such as email), cloud hosting providers, and marketing/sales contact management providers. Such parties are expected to apply at least the same level of protection as outlined in this Privacy Policy, and our transfer to them will be in compliance with relevant data privacy laws and relevant data authority approved data transfer mechanisms. A full list of our Trusted Service Providers is available here and will be updated prior to engaging a new Trusted Service Provider.

Our trusted service providers are under strict obligations to safeguard your data and only process it for our use; the data cannot be used by any other party or for any other purpose. For example, we do not allow the information that you provide to be used to market any third-party products or services to you.

Public Comments and Content: Over time, the Site may enable users to communicate in a variety of ways, such as posting of comments, messaging features, and the like. Any personal information that you voluntarily choose to submit through such a feature will be available to other users who have access to that content. Once you make your personal information available to others in any of these ways, it may be collected and used by the recipients without restriction.

Government Entities, Regulators and Other Third Parties: We may disclose personal information where a government, regulatory body, or the law requires us to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose personal information for legal reasons, as we believe to be necessary or appropriate to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, legal process, or proper governmental request; (b) enforce any agreement we may have entered into with you or your company, including investigating any violations or asserting remedies; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; (d) protect against harm (whether tangible or intangible) to the rights, property, or safety of Arista, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law; and (e) establish or exercise our rights, defend against a legal claim, and investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities or a violation of our policies. Arista further commits to challenging, as reasonable in its sole discretion, any request it deems unlawful in whole or in part.

Business Transaction: We may also disclose your personal information to a potential or actual buyer in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), including any due diligence related to such a transaction.

Social Media Platforms: Some of our websites have features such as plugins, widgets, or other tools made available by third parties that may result in information being collected or shared between us and the third party. You may have the right to opt out of our use of these technologies, as further described in this Privacy Policy.

De-identified or Aggregated Information: Finally, we may aggregate and anonymize information you provide to us in such a way as to ensure it will no longer be identifiable to you. This data may be used for statistical, analytic, and administrative purposes, including analyzing our website traffic and trends, tailoring our Services, or conducting product analysis. We may share anonymized or aggregated data at our discretion, in accordance with applicable laws.

You may be able to make the following choices regarding your personal information:

Promotional Emails. You may choose to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send free newsletters, surveys, offers, and other promotional materials to you. You can stop receiving promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in emails that you receive. If you decide not to receive promotional emails, we may still send you service-related communications.

Account Updates. We encourage you to keep the personal information you share with us up to date. If you have created or been given an account with us, some of your personal information is available for you to update yourself. Your account is protected by a password, and it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your password and login details.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. For example, under local applicable laws, including in the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, you may have the following rights:

• Correction/Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct or supplement any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we process about you.
• Deletion/Erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information.
• Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, along with other information such as the purposes of the processing, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal information has been or will be disclosed, the sources of the personal information, retention, and transfers of personal information.
• Data Portability: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we provide the personal information that you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format; and you have the right to transmit such personal information to another entity.
• Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information in certain cases. Where applicable, the respective personal information will be marked accordingly and may only be processed by us for certain purposes.
• Objection to Processing: In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information.

If you choose to assert any of these rights under applicable laws, we will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights as described in this policy, please submit this Privacy Rights Web form or email us at 该邮件地址已受到反垃圾邮件插件保护。要显示它需要在浏览器中启用 JavaScript。, and we will address your request.

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") applies to our processing of your personal information, we provide this additional information so you can understand and exercise your rights under the CCPA.

We use and disclose your personal information for the Processing Purposes set out in the "How Will We Use The Personal Information That We Collect?" and the "To Whom Do We Disclose Your Personal Information?" sections above.

When the CCPA applies, California residents will have the following rights:

General Rights:

• Right to access personal information, right to data portability, right to deletion/erasure of personal information, and right to correction/rectification of inaccurate personal information, as described in the section above entitled "Your Privacy Rights".

Do not Sell or Share my Personal Information:

• Right to prohibit/opt out of the "sale" or "share" of personal information: You have the right to prohibit/opt out of the "sale" or "share" of personal information. However, Arista does not "Sell" or "share" your personal data.

Sensitive Personal Information:

• Right to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those which cannot be limited under California law.

We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise any of their rights described in this Privacy Policy. However, Arista may require use of your personal information to provide access to the Services. Therefore, when you exercise your deletion right, in particular, you may lose access to certain aspects of the Services that require your personal information.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights as described in this policy, please submit this Privacy Rights Web form or email us at 该邮件地址已受到反垃圾邮件插件保护。要显示它需要在浏览器中启用 JavaScript。, and we will address your request. You may also contact us at 1-866-868-0825. You may exercise any of your rights in this section without discrimination by us.

After you make your request, we will use the information we have about you to verify your identity (and if applicable, your authorized agent’s identity). Our verification process may include a request for additional information to confirm your identity or your authorized agent’s identity (such as your name, email address, and date of birth) or to obtain proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf. If our verification process is successful, we will respond to your request within the time and in the manner required by applicable law.

If you designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, you must attach a copy of the following information to the request:

1. A completed Authorized Agent Designation Form (or equivalent form) indicating that you have authorization to act on the individual’s behalf.
2. If you are a business, proof that you are registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California.

If you are a current or former California Arista employee, please reference our Arista Employee Policy.

If you are a California applicant, please reference our Arista Applicant Policy.

Our Sites and Services do not target and are not intended to attract children or minors under the age of 16. Arista does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or minors under the age of 16 or send them requests for personal information. If you believe we have collected personal information from a person under 16 years old without the consent of their parent or legal guardian, please let us know immediately by contacting us as indicated below and providing sufficient information so we can act appropriately.

Arista does not track its customers over time or across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser may allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.

With respect to some of our cloud-based product and service offerings, Arista acts merely as a data processor of our corporate customers’ data, which may include your personal information as an end user of services provided by our customers. For example, if we provide a coffee shop with an Arista CloudVision CUE solution and they use it to provide guest Wi-Fi access to you as a patron, we are merely a data processor for the coffee shop, and the coffee shop is the data controller. In that situation, you - as a patron - should work directly with the coffee shop to understand how they use your data. While we still maintain this data securely and in accordance with the principles of this policy, there are a few aspects of this policy that apply specifically to this situation. They are:

• Our customers provide the same or similar types of data about themselves and about you as we list above, but the extent of collected data is dependent on our customers’ settings and the information that you choose to share with our customers. While you should contact the relevant customer directly, information stored about you additionally may include device identifiers (e.g., MAC or IP addresses) for devices visible to or connected to the Services, device activity, time, location and configuration data, applications used, and/or websites accessed;
• Arista only processes this data on the instructions of our customers, the data controllers;
• In this capacity, Arista provides data storage and system management for our customers’ systems;
• Arista may use anonymized or pseudo-anonymized aspects of this customer data to analyze and improve Arista’s products and Services;
• Because our customers provide the data and we process it only on their instructions, we have given our customers the tools to respond to any data inquiries, such as those relating to access, processing restrictions, deletion, and the like; we therefore will direct, when necessary, such inquiries to our customers and work with them to respond if they need our assistance. Please direct any inquiries regarding exercising your rights to your personal information to the company whose services you are directly using; and
• Our customers will determine how long the personal information which you have provided to them is retained; please contact them in the first instance with any questions.

We retain information about you and your use of our Services for as long as is needed to fulfill our legitimate business purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. The specific periods for which we keep information about you vary depending on the nature of the information, why we need it, and whether the personal information is de-identified. We also consider the minimum necessary retention period prescribed by applicable laws, recommended by industry standards, and stated in contracts and other legal obligations.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

As noted above, our Sites and Services may contain links to websites, content, or services owned or operated by third parties. Please note, we have no control over the privacy practices of websites or services that we do not own. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or application for details about what information is collected and how it is used and/or disclosed.

As we are a company with a global presence and affiliates around the world, your personal information will generally be transferred to the United States and various other locations around the world both inside and outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), as needed to carry out the purposes described above, based on appropriate transfer mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses and within the bounds set forth herein.
