This notice explains what personal information Databricks collects about you, how long it keeps it, and who it shares it with — including advertisers, business partners, and event sponsors who may contact you directly. Your organization's administrators, not you alone, control your account and can restrict or end your access to Databricks services. You may have the right to opt out of Databricks selling your personal information or sharing it for targeted advertising, depending on your jurisdiction.
The Databricks Privacy Notice establishes the conditions under which Databricks collects, retains, shares, and processes personal information from users of its Sites and Platform Services. Databricks collects data through automated tools including cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar technologies, and retains that information for the duration of service use or as required by law or legitimate business purposes without a fixed outer limit. Personal information is disclosed to advertising providers, business partners, event sponsors, and potentially to third parties in connection with asset sales or business transactions, including during pre-transaction activities. For EU, UK, and Swiss users, collection is conditioned on a legal basis that varies by information type and context. Databricks may also process user information using large language models and other AI tools, and organizational administrators hold the power to access, modify, or terminate individual authorized users' access to Platform Services.
As an individual user, your personal information is collected automatically when you use Databricks Sites, retained without a fixed end date, and shared with advertising providers who track your activity across other services to build interest profiles, as well as with business partners and event sponsors for their own marketing. If your account is employer-managed, your organization's administrators can access or change your account information and restrict or end your access at any time. If you believe you have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information or its use for targeted advertising, you can exercise that right as recognized by Databricks for eligible users.
