2. CUSTOMER INFORMATION. “Customer Information” is any data or information that Customer submits to Uptime.com in connection with the Uptime.com Services account or that is created or accessed by Customer or Uptime.com by means of the Uptime.com Services. Customer Information consists solely of: (i) information submitted to Uptime.com to establish a Services account, receive support, and use the Services, such as business contact information of Customer’s personnel, payment information, and content of support requests, and (ii) data or information collected by means of the Services. Unless Customer elects to install Uptime.com’s code snippet on the Customer’s Web server, the only information collected by Uptime.com by means of the Services is information that is generally available to any public user of the Customer’s monitored Web Application(s). If Customer elects to install Uptime.com’s code snippet on its Web server, then the Uptime.com Service may also capture information that is captured by Web servers generally, such as visitor IP address, date and time of visit, and duration of visit.

Customer authorizes Uptime.com to de-identify and aggregate Customer Information with similar de-identified data of other customers and with anonymous data from public or private data sets and analyze the resulting data sets for insights to help it improve its services generally, provided that Uptime.com’s method of de-identification must make it technically infeasible for any data to be re-identified to any of Customer’s customers or to Customer.

Customer acknowledges that the measures described in the Security materials are reasonable and appropriate given the nature of the Customer Information and agrees that Uptime.com is not responsible to Customer for any harm Customer suffers as a result of a security breach unless the breach resulted from Uptime.com’s failure to maintain the security measures described in this Security Materials.
