PURE STORAGE PRIVACY NOTICE

At Pure Storage we recognise and respect the privacy of everyone who entrusts us
with their Personal Data.



1.   INTRODUCTION. This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes the types of
information Pure Storage Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates,
(collectively, “Pure,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collect through our websites,
including the website at purestorage.com (our “sites”) or any website that uses
this notice, how we use and disclose such information, the steps we take to
protect it, and how you can exercise your data protection rights.


We will only process your Personal Data in accordance with this Notice and any
applicable law to which we are subject when offering you a localized website in
your language and country, in particular any United States federal and state
legislation, and for users located in the EEA and the UK subject to the General
Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), and all other national data
protection laws globally (altogether “Data Protection Legislation").

If you are unable to access this notice due to a disability or any other
impairment, please contact us using the contact details provided below and we
will arrange to supply you with the information you need in an alternative
format that you can access.

California resident specific information can be found here.

2.  DATA COLLECTED, PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS.  Pure collects Personal Data in a
variety of contexts, each of which is defined below. The categories of
information, types of information, sources of information and our purposes for
collecting, processing, using, and sharing such information is determined based
on this context. “Personal Data” is information relating to, directly or
indirectly, an identified or identifiable natural person or household.

2.1.  WHEN VISITING OUR SITES.  Pure collects Personal Data through our sites.
This includes things like your name, postal address, telephone number, and email
address, as well as less obvious information, e.g., browser and device data, and
internet or network activity information, such as activity on our sites, data
collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies, and other
information that is generated through your use of the internet to access our
websites.

Personal Data is collected from you directly or through your web browser when
accessing our sites. The purpose of our processing is to optimise the user
experience and the site's functionality including creating statistics,
developing new as well as enhancing, improving, or modifying our products and
services; and identifying usage trends, for example, understanding which parts
of our sites are the most interesting to any visitor.

This processing of Personal Data is necessary for us to pursue our legitimate
interest in operating and improving these Sites (Article 6(1) (f) GDPR).

2.2.  WHEN SIGNING UP FOR OUR COMMUNICATIONS.  If you sign up for
communications, we will collect your name, e-mail address, your IP address, and
the language in which you wish to receive such communications.

The purpose for collecting your Personal Data is to contact you for marketing
and sales purposes, including notifications related to product enhancements,
warranties, and renewals, that are related specifically to customer needs and
interests.

The sending of marketing materials and the necessary processing of respective
Personal Data is based on the consent of the recipient to receive the
newsletters (Article 6(1) (a) GDPR).

However, where local laws require a separate legal basis for the processing than
consent (e.g. Denmark), Personal Data is processed to pursue our legitimate
interest in marketing our services and engaging with our customers and prospects
(Article 6(1) (f) GDPR).

2.3.  WHEN ENGAGING WITH US THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.  Pure’s sites may use social
media features, such as the Facebook “like” button etc. These features may
collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our site, and may set
a cookie, pixel, beacon or other similar technologies to enable the feature to
function properly.

You may be given the option by such feature to post information about your
activities on our products and services to a profile page of yours that is
provided by a third-party social media network in order to share with others
within your network. These features are either hosted by a third-party or hosted
directly on sites. Information collected in the context of the feature is
subject to the relevant social media platforms’ own data collection, use, and
disclosure policies.

3.  SHARING OF YOUR DATA.  Except as described in this Notice, we will not
disclose information about you that we collect on or through our sites to
third-parties without your consent, unless legally required or permitted to do
so. We may disclose information to third-parties if you consent to us doing so,
as well as in the following circumstances:

Any information that You voluntarily choose to include in a publicly accessible
area of the Sites will be available to anyone who has access to that content,
including other users.

We may share your information with our partners in connection with, selling or
distributing our products and services, or engaging in joint marketing
activities, in accordance with your expressed marketing preferences.

We may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent and sister
companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other companies under common
control). If another company acquires, or plans to acquire, our company,
business, or assets, we will also share information with that company, including
at the negotiations stage.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by any competent law
enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third-party
where we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law or
regulation, in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena
or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental
agencies.

We also reserve the right to disclose your information that we believe, in good
faith, is appropriate or necessary to (i) take precautions against liability,
(ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or
activity, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims
or allegations, (iv) protect the security or integrity of our products and
services and any facilities or equipment used to make our products and services
available, or (v) protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not
limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights, property, or safety
of others.

We may make certain aggregated, automatically-collected, or otherwise
non-personal information available to third-parties for various purposes,
including (i) compliance with various reporting obligations; (ii) for business
or marketing purposes; or (iii) to assist such parties in understanding our
users’ interests, habits, and usage patterns for certain programs, content,
services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality available through our
Offerings.

We may share your information with service providers. Among other things,
service providers may help us to administer our website, conduct surveys,
provide technical support, process payments, and assist in fulfillment of
services. We contract with these service providers to ensure they only use your
information to fulfill their obligations to provide services to us.

4.  CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER.  Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in
any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers,
and by browsing our Sites You understand that your information will be
transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the
United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from
those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement
agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries
may be entitled to access your Personal Data.

If you are located in the EEA: Some of the non-EEA countries are recognized by
the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection
according to EEA. For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered
adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures
including EU Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your Personal Data.

5.  DATA RETENTION.  We retain Personal Data we collect from you where we have
an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a
service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting
requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible
(for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives,
then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible.

6.  DATA SECURITY.  We have put in place appropriate security measures to
prevent your Personal Data from being lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised
way, altered or disclosed. In addition, only employees and contractors who have
a relevant and reasonably required need to access your Personal Data to perform
their work have access to your Personal Data.

7.  COOKIES & SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES.  Like many websites, Pure uses automatic
data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links, and web beacons.
These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our
Sites such as your browser type and the address of the website from which you
arrived at our Sites. They may also collect information about:

 * Your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This is a number automatically assigned
   to your computer or device whenever you are connecting to the Internet. It
   allows web servers to locate and identify your device, this is a unique
   address assigned to your device by your Internet service provider or
   information systems department on a TCP/IP network.
 * Clickstream behavior, which helps us better understand your visit to our
   Sites and may, in turn, provide you with a more customized experience when
   you return. This data is aggregated into anonymized analytics in order to
   measure overall trends and is not tied to a specific individual or their
   individualized behavior.

When we use Cookies we do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in
providing you with a great user experience (e.g., making the sites available to
you in your local language and remember your language choices, etc.). We have
classified the Cookies we use in different categories, such as functional,
performance and other categories. You can find a description of these
categories, the Cookies and how to opt-in or opt-out of either a category or a
specific Cookie when you go to our Cookie Preferences which usually comes up
when you visit our site for the first time. Please note that we do not have a

to another and/or from one device to another. Therefore you may need to make
your preference choices the first time you use a new browser or device to access
our sites.

LINKED WEBSITES. We may provide links to other websites and services that are
