Pinecone Privacy Policy

This document explains how Pinecone collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use its Websites. Pinecone can share your data with companies involved in mergers or acquisitions, advertisers, law enforcement, and others, and may transfer it to countries with weaker privacy protections. If you keep using the Websites after Pinecone updates this policy, Pinecone treats that as your agreement to the new terms.

This Privacy Policy establishes Pinecone's data collection, use, sharing, and transfer practices with respect to users of its Websites and Services. It excludes from its scope all personal data processed on behalf of enterprise customers, which is governed solely by those customers' instructions. Pinecone reserves unilateral authority to modify the policy at any time, with material-change notice limited to updating the posted date. Cross-border data transfers are conditioned on jurisdictional adequacy determinations or contractual safeguards, though Pinecone separately acknowledges that destination jurisdictions may offer weaker protections. Data sharing permissions are broad, encompassing corporate transaction participants, law enforcement and private parties at Pinecone's discretion, and third-party advertising partners, while anonymized or de-identified data may be used and shared for any purpose Pinecone deems appropriate.

As an individual user, your personal information is subject to broad sharing — with advertising partners who may track you across other websites, with parties to potential corporate transactions, and with law enforcement or private parties at Pinecone's discretion. Pinecone requests that you not submit sensitive personal information such as health, biometric, or racial and ethnic origin data. Your continued use of the Websites after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, so checking the posted policy date when you return to the Websites is the concrete action available to you to stay informed of changes.
