your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information.
This Privacy Statement describes the treatment of information we collect from
and about you when you visit our websites or use our services that contain a
link to this Privacy Statement. By proceeding to use the Site and/or the
Proofpoint Services you consent that we may process the personal data that we
collect from you in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We may modify this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes to our
information practices, so check back frequently. Any changes to this Privacy
Statement will be posted on this page, and where appropriate (for example, if
there are material changes to this statement), we will notify you by email or by
means of a notice on our home page prior to the changes taking effect.

In this statement, "using" and "processing" information includes using cookies

collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, and

personal data to the United States and use it there in accordance with this
Privacy Statement.

Regulators in the United States have indicated that they will continue to
enforce the Privacy Shield Frameworks, and Proofpoint shall continue to
participate in the Privacy Shield Frameworks. Proofpoint is monitoring the
evolving circumstances surrounding the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the
Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and any potential amendments or
replacements. This Privacy Statement will be updated as more information becomes
available. Proofpoint has always included the SCCs in its standard data
processing agreement as its primary data transfer mechanism and we will continue
to rely on the SCCs as a legal basis for transferring personal data to and
processing such data in the US. Proofpoint’s data privacy agreement, including
the SCCs, can be found on Proofpoint’s Trust Site
https://www.proofpoint.com/us/legal/trust.

Proofpoint, Inc. and US subsidiary companies Cloudmark, LLC; ObservIT, Inc.; and
Wombat Security Technologies, Inc. participates in and has certified its
compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Framework. Proofpoint, Inc. is committed to subjecting all personal data
received from European Union (EU) member countries and Switzerland,
respectively, in reliance on each Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s
applicable Principles. To learn more about the Privacy Shield Frameworks, visit
the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield List.
https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.

Proofpoint, Inc. is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives,
under each Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third party
acting as an agent on its behalf. Proofpoint, Inc. complies with the Privacy
Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and
Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy
Shield Frameworks, Proofpoint, Inc. is subject to the regulatory enforcement
powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, Proofpoint,
Inc. may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by
public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement
requirements.

satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution
provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website
https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=How-to-Submit-a-Complaint, you may
invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been
exhausted.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our
products and services, to provide quality customer service, to contact companies
whose representative has indicated an interest in receiving information about
Proofpoint products and to enable users to effectively navigate the Site. We may
collect the following personal data about you and process it in the following
ways.

Contact Information You Give Us

You may give us your contact information in the following ways: (i) if you sign
up for a free 45 day trial via www.proofpoint.com, (ii) sign up for offers on
the Site, (iii) sign up for newsletters, (iv) download white papers from the
Site, (v) respond to a promotion offered by a Proofpoint partner or (vi) send us
an email. Such contact information includes first and last name, title, company
name, industry type, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, email
address and company size ("Contact Information"). We may also collect
information about your mailbox size, which will allow us to classify your
company by size and provide customized information about implementing Proofpoint
Services within your organization. We may combine your Contact Information with
information collected from others in order to improve the quality and value of
the Proofpoint Services and to analyze and understand how our Site is used.

We will use your Contact Information to: (i) carry out our obligations arising
from any contracts entered into between you and us; or (ii) provide you with the
services, products or information, you have requested from us; (iii) notify you
about changes to our services or products; or (iv) ensure that content from our
Site is presented in the most effective manner for you and your device. We may
also use your Contact Information to contact you with certain marketing or
promotional materials, as well as other information that may be of interest to
you. If you no longer consent to our use of your Contact Information to send you
our newsletter or other communications please send us an email so stating to
privacy@proofpoint.com or follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of
the communications.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as
needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your account or request
that we no longer use your information to provide you services contact us at
privacy@proofpoint.com. Please note that we may still retain and use your
information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes,
and enforce our agreements.

Personal Data You Post On Our Blog

If you use the blog on this Site, you should be aware that any personal data you
submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these blogs, and
could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the
personal data you choose to submit in these blogs. To request removal of your
personal data from our blog, contact us at privacy@proofpoint.com. In some
cases, we may not be able to remove your personal data, in which case we will
let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

Customer Testimonials We Collect From You

We may post customer testimonials/comments/reviews on our Site which may contain
personal data. We will not post a testimonial from you without obtaining your
prior consent.

Log Data and Personal Network Information We Collect From You

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect technical and statistical data
about your visit, such as your browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream
data, the pages you visit and any search terms you use ("Log Data"). We also
collect your public IP address when you visit the Site. We may use your public
IP address in order to determine whether certain requests are fraudulent or
frivolous and we may automatically cross-reference your public IP address with
your domain name (usually the domain name of your ISP or employer). Because you
may be visiting the Site from your personal residence (for example, because you
are telecommuting), your IP address and any associated domain name are treated
as "Personal Network Information" instead of Contact Information. "Log Data"
does not include Personal Network Information. Although such Personal Network
Information may be used to administer and maintain the Site, it is not shared
with any third parties, except as described below in the sections titled
"Service Providers," "Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement" and "Business
Transfers." We will use Log Data for any purpose.

We may also use your Log Data and Personal Network Information to: (i)
administer our Site and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data
analysis, testing, research, statistical and survey purposes; (ii) improve our
Site to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you
and for your device; (iii) allow you to participate in interactive features of
our service, when you choose to do so; (iv) as part of our efforts to keep our
Site safe and secure.

Legal basis for processing personal information (EEA visitors only)

If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for
collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the
personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we
have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a
contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and
not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms.

Aggregated Information

After stripping out any information that would personally identify you from
within the set of Contact Information, Personal Network Information and Log Data
we collect from you, we may combine that information with information we collect
from other Proofpoint users and customers (collectively the "Aggregated
Information") in order to improve the quality and value of Proofpoint Services
and to analyze and understand how our Site is used.

Cookies/Tracking Technologies

Proofpoint and our partners, affiliates, analytics, or service providers use
cookies and other similar technologies.

We use cookies and similar technologies for storing your preferences and
settings, enabling user sign in, to pre-fill a contact form should a user engage
with Proofpoint marketing collateral, analyzing trends, authentication,
administering the site, analyzing how our products perform, and fulfilling other
legitimate purposes. We may receive reports based on the use of these
technologies by our analytics or service providers on an anonymous individual as
well as aggregated basis. Proofpoint does not use cookies or other similar
technologies for targeted advertising.

Users can limit and control the data collected by cookies or other similar
technologies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may
still use our site, but your ability to use some features or areas of our site
may be limited.

Behavioral Targeting / Re-Targeting

We partner with a third party to either display advertising on our Web site or
to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may use
technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this
site and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your
browsing activities and interests. If you wish to not have this information used
for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt-out by going to
https://optout.networkadvertising.org (or if located in the European Union
please go here https://www.youronlinechoices.eu). Please note this does not opt
you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Proofpoint Services

Proofpoint’s Services are designed to protect and secure our customers from
malicious attacks such as phishing, targeted impersonation, ransomware,
keylogging and remote access trojans (RATs). Proofpoint’s Services employ a
variety of techniques such as threat prevention, detection and analysis; fraud
prevention; regulatory and compliance archiving; and cyber security awareness
training in order to protect our customers and their data. Depending on the
particular Proofpoint Service we may process the following types of personal
data: user names, email addresses, IP addresses, phone numbers, message content
of an SMS, MMS, or RCS message reported by you as spam, social media account
login credentials, and user information such as department, job position and
location.

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

Marketing Purposes

Where you have consented we may from time to time share your Contact Information
(name, email address, phone number) with our authorized channel partners so that
they can provide you with information on goods or services that may be of
interest to you. You can, at any time, update your information and/or opt out of
receiving such communications by making your choice known on the form on which
we collected your data or by filling in your information and modifying "your
communication opt out preferences." Before we share personal information, we
enter into written agreements with recipients which contain data protection
terms that safeguard your data.

Analytics Purposes

We may share Aggregated Information (after stripping of any information that
would personally identify you) and Log Data with third parties for industry
analysis, demographic profiling, and other purposes.

Service Providers

We may from time to time use certain third party business partners, suppliers,
and sub-contractors (including companies and individuals) to perform
Site-related services (for example, without limitation, website hosting,
maintenance services, database management, Web analytics, and improvement of the
Site's features) (“Service Providers”). These Service Providers have access to
your personal data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated
not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Principle 3 (Accountability for
onward transfer) of the Privacy Shield requires Proofpoint to take certain steps
when transferring personal data received from the European Union to third
parties such as Service Providers (for example, by including mandatory
contractual provisions within its contracts with those third parties). Please
note that Proofpoint, Inc. remains liable under the Principles if an agent
processing personal data received from the European Union on its behalf
processes that personal data in a manner inconsistent with the Principles
(unless Proofpoint can prove that it is not responsible for the event giving
rise to the damage). If you further are routed or otherwise make any
web-browsing selection that takes you to another party's website you will be
subject to the terms of such third party privacy statement for any activities
that you conduct while on that third-party service.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement

Proofpoint cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private
parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose your personal data
to government or law enforcement officials or private parties in response to
lawful requests if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data
in order to comply with any legal obligation (such as to meet national security
or law enforcement requirements), to enforce or apply our terms and conditions
or respond to claims and legal process, to protect the property and rights of
Proofpoint or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person,
or to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity
(including for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction).

Business Transfers

If Proofpoint is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion
of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our
Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal data, as well as any
choices you may have regarding your personal data.

ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION

You have rights to access your personal data under your local data privacy laws
and the Privacy Shield and are able to correct, amend or delete that information
under certain conditions. If you would like to exercise your right of access, if
you would like to change your personal data, or if you no longer desire our
service, you may access, correct, update or delete it by emailing our Customer
Support at privacy@proofpoint.com. We will respond to your request to access
without undue delay.

Upon request Proofpoint will provide you with information about whether we hold
any of your personal information. You may access, correct, or request deletion
of your personal information by contacting us at privacy@proofpoint.com. We will
respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. In certain circumstances
we may be required by law to retain your personal information, or may need to
retain your personal information in order to continue providing a service. You
have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection
and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your
local data protection authority.

Proofpoint acknowledges that you have the right to access your personal
information. Proofpoint has no direct relationship with the individuals whose
personal data it processes. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to
correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct their query to the
Proofpoint’s Client (the data controller). If requested to remove data we will
respond within a reasonable timeframe. In certain circumstances we may be
required by law to retain your personal information, or may need to retain your
personal information in order to continue providing a service.

Data retention

We retain personal information 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
information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible
(for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup
archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it
from any further processing until deletion is possible.

SECURITY & INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

Proofpoint is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ
generally accepted standards of administrative, physical, procedural, and
technological measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized
access, both during transmission and once it is received. If you have any
questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at
privacy@proofpoint.com.

However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method
of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, although Proofpoint complies
with its legal obligations in respect of the security of your personal data we
cannot guarantee its absolute security.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our Site contains links to other websites. If you click on a third-party link
you will be directed to that third party's website. We do not exercise control
over third-party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or
other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personally identifiable
information from you. This Privacy Statement addresses the use and disclosure of
information that we collect from you through this Site. Other sites follow
different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personally identifiable
information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or
statements of the other websites you visit. The fact that we link to a website
is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation of our affiliation with
that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information
security policies or practices.

SOCIAL MEDIA WIDGETS

Our Web site includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button
and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run
on our site. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are
visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function
properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party
or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are
