Like most website operators, Cloudius Systems collects non-personally-identifying 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. Cloudius Systems’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Cloudius Systems’s visitors use its websites. From time to time, Cloudius Systems may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its websites. Cloudius Systems also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Cloudius Systems does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to Cloudius Systems’s websites (including osv.io and seastar-project.org) choose to interact with Cloudius Systems in ways that require Cloudius Systems to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Cloudius Systems gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who complete a contact form to provide a name and email address. Cloudius Systems does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Cloudius Systems may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Cloudius Systems may reveal how many downloads a particular version got, or say which virtual appliances are most popular. However, Cloudius Systems does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Cloudius Systems’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Cloudius Systems discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Cloudius Systems believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Cloudius Systems, third parties, or the public at large.
