Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 9, 2023

Circle Internet Services, Inc. dba CircleCI, a Delaware corporation (“CircleCI”, “we” or “us”) provides this Privacy Policy to inform users of our Services (as that term is defined in our Software as a Service Agreement) of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data and other information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you use the Services, why we collect the data, how it is used and your rights and choices. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meanings assigned to them by the Software as a Service Agreement.

While providing our Services, we may collect information about our customers’ Users on behalf of our customers. Our use of information on behalf of our customers is governed by our agreement with the applicable customer and the customer’s own privacy policies. We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy policies or privacy practices of our customers or any other third parties.

By using or accessing the Services and providing us with your Personal Data, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy, and you are consenting to our processing of your data as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us (for information on how we may change our Privacy Policy, please read the “Privacy Policy Changes” section below). If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or our use of your Personal Data, please contact us.

Information We Collect And How We Use It

Collection of Information

We have collected the following categories of information from our users within the last twelve (12) months:

  • Identifiers, including name, email address, phone number, IP address and cookie identifiers,
  • Certain financial-related information, including credit card number and billing and shipping address,
  • Protected classification information, such as age and gender,
  • Commercial information, including purchasing history of our business customer’s employees and representatives who use our Service,
  • Internet or other similar network activity, such as browsing history, information on your interaction with our Site, browser type, and referring site,
  • Location data, and
  • Professional or employment related data with respect to our job applicants and our business customer’s employees and representatives who use our Services, such as professional title.

Categories of Sources

We obtain the personal information of our users from the following categories of sources:

  1. Personal Data That You Provide To Us

    When you interact with the Services, CircleCI may gather information that, alone or in combination with other information, could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”), as described below. If you are an EU or UK data subject, please see the “EU and UK Data Subject” section below for information on your rights in relation to the Personal Data we hold about you.

    1. Personal Data used to provide the Service and respond to requests

      When signing up for the Services, users are required to either provide their email address and a password while creating an account with us, or authenticate with their version control system identity (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket). When users log in to the Services using sign-in services such as OAuth (for example, login with a GitHub account), these services will authenticate a user’s identity and provide the user with the option to share certain Personal Data, such as name and email address(es), with us. If you purchase one of our paid plans, we will also collect payment and billing information such as credit card details and billing address. We use this data to provide you with access to the Services, contact you regarding your access and use of the Services or to notify you of important changes to the Services. For EU and UK data subjects, such use is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us.

      On some sections of the Site, you may complete a web form to give your Personal Data to us directly, such as on our “Contact Us” page. We also collect Personal Data (e.g., your name, email, and phone number) when you request information, including a product demo, ask to download content (such as white papers), register for a webinar or other event, or subscribe to email lists. We will use your contact information to respond to your request. For EU and UK data subjects, such use is necessary to respond to or implement your request. If you send us a request or question regarding the use of the Services (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we may publish it (in anonymous form only) in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

      CircleCI collects Personal Data that you provide through the Services only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with CircleCI, such as providing you with the Services and/or answering any requests regarding the Service as described above. You can always refuse to supply Personal Data, however doing so may prevent you from accessing the Services or engaging in certain activities on the Services.

    2. Personal Data we receive from third party applications

      CircleCI may receive Personal Data about you from third parties. For example, if you access the Services through a third-party service or interact with the Services via a third-party service connected to the Services (e.g., by pushing code to a VCS repository configured to interact with the Services), that third party may pass certain Personal Data you provided to its service to CircleCI. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account, your name and email address, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with CircleCI, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Services. Ultimately, the terms governing your use of a third-party service will control what Personal Data, if any, that third party shares with CircleCI. If you communicate with CircleCI via social media, and choose to share your user generated content with CircleCI, CircleCI may receive information such as posts or videos you’ve created, your photo, your account name and your comments about CircleCI.

    3. Personal Data we receive from other third parties

      CircleCI may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as public sources, social media platforms (like LinkedIn, Twitter and other platforms) and third-party data providers and information services. Examples of the information we may obtain from such third parties include your company, company size, job title and seniority, industry and other profile information. We do this to better understand your profile and interests so that we can deliver customized offers and other personalized services to you, such as to serve relevant offers to you via email, chatbots, phone or personalized advertising. We may also receive information about you and your engagement with our advertisements from our ad servers, ad networks, social media platforms, and other sources. This may include the websites you visited before coming to CircleCI so that we can determine advertising effectiveness and pay our referral partners. If you prefer not to have your information used for this purpose, you can opt out at any time by emailing us.

    4. Personal Data used to process applications for employment

      When you submit a job application through the Site, we will collect your resume and any additional information that you elect to provide to us, including but not limited to employment history and education. We will use your contact details and data about your employment history and education to conduct job interviews, evaluate your application, and as is otherwise needed for recruitment. For EU and UK data subjects, this use is necessary to respond to your request to process your application for employment.

    5. Personal Data used for marketing

      We will use your email to tell you about your usage of the Services, new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with CircleCI and our products, upcoming events or other promotions. If you change your mind about receiving information from us or about the use of information volunteered by you, please send us a request specifying your new choice. Please contact us as specified under the “Contact Us” section. You may also choose to opt out of receiving such emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails, or by accessing the email preferences in your account settings page. If you download content from the Site, we may also use your phone number to contact you directly by phone, in connection with such new products and services, upcoming events or other promotions.

      Where required by applicable law (for example, if you are an EU or UK data subject), we will only send you marketing information by email or mail, or contact you by phone, if you consent to us doing so. When you provide us with your consent to be contacted for marketing purposes, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions to “opt out” of receiving marketing communication in each marketing email we send you. In addition, if at any time you do not wish to receive future marketing communications or wish to have your name deleted from our mailing or calling lists, please click on the “Make a Privacy Request” button at https://privacy.circleci.com/. Please note that if you opt out from marketing communications, we may still contact you regarding issues related to our Services and to respond to your requests.

  2. Automatically Collected Information

    Like most hosted service operators, CircleCI collects information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site and the date and time of each visitor request and store it in log files. CircleCI also collects Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, which can be used to identify the location from which your computer is connecting to the Site, for providing the Services and for support purposes.

    CircleCI also collects statistics about the behavior of visitors to the Services through cookies and similar technologies. We also allow some others to use cookies as described in the “Cookies” section below. CircleCI’s purpose in collecting such information is to better understand how CircleCI’s visitors use the Services and to improve your access to and use of the Services.

    Use of such automatically collected information is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us, to the extent we process information that is needed for providing the Services and for support purposes, or is in our legitimate interest in understanding how the Services are being used by you and enhancing your experience when using our Services.

  3. Information We Process On Behalf Of Our Customers

    In providing the Services to our customers, we process on behalf of customers certain information that may include Personal Data, relating to customers’ employees, contractors or other users (“Users”) they transmit or otherwise submit to our Service. While our customers or Users decide what data to submit, this information typically includes email address and information relating to tests results.

    CircleCI collects and stores metrics and data relating to, generated by, provided in connection with, or derived from customers’ use of the Services (“Usage Data”) in order to provide, maintain, support, enhance, develop and improve the Services and CircleCI’s service offerings. CircleCI will not disclose individual metric or usage data other than in an aggregated and de-identified form. For EU and UK data subjects, this use of your Personal Data is necessary for our legitimate interests in understanding how the Services are being used by you and to improve your experience on it.

Data Retention

We will retain Personal Data that our customers provide to us through the Services for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will retain Personal Data that we process on behalf of our customers for the duration set forth in the applicable customer contract or as otherwise instructed by the customer.

Bulletin Boards/Chat Rooms

If you submit a post or participate in a discussion on a bulletin board or chat room on the Services, you should be aware that any Personal Data you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the Personal Data you choose to submit in these forums.

We share personal information for a business purpose with various categories of third parties. CircleCI discloses Personal Data only to those of its employees, contractors, and service providers that (1) need to know that data in order to perform certain services and functions on CircleCI’s behalf and (2) have agreed to data protection and confidentiality obligations requiring them to protect that data.

CircleCI may disclose Personal Data in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets (a “Corporate Transaction”). If CircleCI is involved in a Corporate Transaction, you will be notified either via email and/or a prominent notice through the Service of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Data, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Data, or we will require any such buyer to agree to treat your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

In certain situations, CircleCI may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Recourse, Enforcement, Liability: In compliance with the EU-US DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF, and the Swiss-US DPF, CircleCI commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your Personal Data.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, CircleCI commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning its handling of non-HR related personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to TRUSTe, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States.

The services of TRUSTe are provided to you at no cost.

Further, CircleCI commits to cooperate and comply with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs), the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA), and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

Cookies

We and our partners use cookies or similar technologies to optimize the functionality of the Site, help us understand how the Site is used and provide you with interest-based advertising based upon a user’s browsing activities and interests. For more information about the cookies and similar technologies used on our Site, please refer to our Cookie Policy and Security page.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services and not to any third-party sites or hosted services you may find or access through our Site. If you submit Personal Data to any of those sites or services, your information will be governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any site you visit or hosted service you use.

CircleCI, with its partnership and commitment to Security and Privacy with Microsoft, also provides a link to their Privacy Statement .

Social Media Widgets

The Services may include social media features, such as the Twitter button, and widgets, such as the “share this” button or interactive mini-programs. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the 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 the Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

Do Not Track

Currently, various browsers - including Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari - offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to the websites visited by the user about the user’s browsers DNT preference setting. CircleCI does not currently commit to responding to browser’s DNT preference across its Services, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. CircleCI takes privacy and choices regarding privacy seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor the development around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard for DNT.

Security

We take precautions to ensure the security of your Personal Data. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the Personal Data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. When you enter your login information on the Service, all information to and from the service is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). For more information on our data security policies, please check here.

That said, like any hosted service provider, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties or unauthorized personnel will not gain access to your Personal Data despite our efforts. You should note that in using the Services, your information will travel through third-party infrastructures which are not under our control.

We cannot protect, nor does this Privacy Policy apply to, any information that you transmit to other users of the Services. You should never transmit personal or identifying information to other users.

If you have any questions about the security of the Services, you can contact us.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, CircleCI may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in CircleCI’s sole discretion. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will either notify you by email (sent to the email address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on or within the Services prior to the change becoming effective, or as otherwise required by the applicable law. We encourage you to periodically review the Site for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the Services after any change in this Privacy Policy takes effect will constitute your acceptance of such change.
