This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Fastly's Privacy Policy explains how Fastly handles your personal information: it does not sell your data, will notify you 30 days before making material changes to how it treats your data, and gives you a chance to opt out before sharing your data with third parties or using it for new purposes. Fastly may store and process your information in the United States and other countries. If you transmit personal data to Fastly's websites, you do so at your own risk, as Fastly cannot guarantee transmission security.
Fastly's Privacy Policy establishes the terms under which Fastly collects, processes, stores, and shares personal data, including cross-border transfers to the United States and other countries conducted only through legally required adequate transfer mechanisms. The policy commits Fastly to a data retention ceiling of the business relationship plus seven years (subject to a legitimate business interest exception), an immediate deletion obligation for personal data of children under 16 discovered after collection, and a prohibition on selling personal data to third parties. Users retain an opt-out right before their data is disclosed to independent third parties or used for materially different purposes, and Fastly must provide 30 days' advance notice before material changes to data-treatment practices take effect. Where the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles conflict with the policy, those Principles govern, and Fastly remains liable for agent mishandling of personal data unless it proves it bears no responsibility.
As an individual user, this document means Fastly will not sell your personal data and will keep it no longer than seven years after your business relationship ends, unless Fastly has a legitimate business interest in retaining it longer. Before Fastly discloses your data to an independent third party or uses it for a purpose materially different from what was originally stated, you have the right to opt out — you can act on that right when Fastly presents the opt-out opportunity. You will also receive at least 30 days' notice by email or posted notice before any material change to how Fastly treats your personal data takes effect, giving you a defined window to review those changes.
