Categories of Data | Types of Data |
Identifiers | Unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, Hostname, Domain Name, container or application names, or other similar identifiers |

When the optional telemetry is turned off, the software will still provide Mirantis only with personal information that is strictly necessary to provide the selected services, including updates or upgrades of the software, and to prevent unauthorized use of software post-license expiration. You may manually opt-out from automatic software updates and upgrades. In the last two scenarios, Mirantis relies on legitimate interests of providing selected services, including updated and upgraded software, and of enforcing payment by identifying and reaching out to organizations and individuals using our software without valid licenses.
If you use our software product as a member of an organization (e.g. as an employee of a company for which you work), the decision about the telemetry usage is upon such organization. Please consult the settings of telemetry with your organization.
7. Processing Activities Related to the Protection of Mirantis Commercial Rights
Lens. When we reasonably suspect that you may be eligible for an enterprise plan rather than a personal plan based on your company's criteria we may share your personal information (email, and when requested name and LensID) with your company/employer procurement team. Our legitimate interest for sharing your personal information is based on our commitment to engaging in lawful and ethical business practices, ensuring the enforcement of our terms and conditions, preventing fraud and fostering potential partnerships with enterprises that are interested in using our software. We deem that the means used are proportionate and necessary to achieve the intended legitimate business purpose. This information will be handled securely by both parties, in particular to ensure protection against unauthorized access. When personal information is transferred outside of EEA this is based on the exception in Article 49 of the GDPR, specifically for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
We also refer to section 6 regarding the telemetry settings.
8. Third Party Recipients of Personal Information
Tech businesses often use third parties to help them host their application, communicate with customers, power their emails etc. We partner with third parties who we believe are the best in their field at what they do. When we do this, sometimes it is necessary for us to share your personal information with them in order to get these services to work well.
If you sign up to attend one of our events, we may share your name, work details and contact information with organizers of that event for organizational purposes.
We use a third party analytical software to gather statistical information about our website visitors, in particular to enhance the quality of our website.
When you purchase through Mirantis webstore, third-party providers will be authorized to process your payment information to enable the purchase. The third-party processors responsible for your payments, will have access to your personal information instead of us.
Your personal information may be also shared with third party recipients for the purpose of corporate and operational governance, which include:
- The affiliated companies of Mirantis which are involved by Mirantis in certain joint activities, see the list of Mirantis affiliates here;
- third parties providing advisory services to Mirantis, such as our financial, legal or other advisors;
- third parties that might have legitimate interest in knowing your personal information in case of merger, acquisition, reorganizations, sale of part of our business or other corporate change of Mirantis.
Your personal information is shared with third parties only when necessary, for our legitimate purposes as specified above, and according to the safeguards and good practices detailed in this Privacy Notice.
9. Security and Retention of Personal Information
We use industry-standard methods of securing electronic databases with personal information. We limit access to personal information in electronic databases to those persons in our organization who have a legitimate business need or other lawful basis for such access.
Your privacy is very important to us. However, due to factors beyond our control, we cannot fully ensure that your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties other than those mentioned above. For example, we may be legally required to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. No organization, including Mirantis, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information.
We retain the personal information of individuals for a commercially reasonable time. The length of storage depends on the period required by the applicable laws (if any) and on the purpose for which the data was collected. For example, if you create an account at Mirantis website, we will process your personal information until you request deletion of the account or until the account is otherwise deactivated. For more details about the retention periods in specific cases when your personal information is processed, please contact us on one of the designated contacts in section 13.

When we export personal information to such countries, we rely on one or more of the available legal instruments such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses or EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification guaranteed by the company to which the personal information is exported in order to ensure adequate level of protection for your personal information.

- The rights of access, rectification, and data portability must be balanced against the rights and freedoms of others, such as another person’s confidentiality or intellectual property rights.
- The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests may be refused if we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

- 3rd party support agreement points of contact, including contact information, with whom Mirantis will coordinate to provide OpsCare Plus Subscription Services, and other associated operational and support details for such 3rd party support;
- Customer points of contact, including contact information, for critical issues and emergency maintenance approval; and
- Approval for Changes as follows:
Change | Recommended | Required |
Standard | Daily | Weekly |
Planned, non-disruptive | Daily | Weekly |
Planned, disruptive | Weekly | Monthly |
- Datacenter and Facilities Management. Manage physical access, redundancy (e.g., UPS, generators), climate control, fire suppression, and all other environmental controls. Manage “data center remote-hands”.
- Hardware Support and Parts Replacement. Manage and support infrastructure hardware, parts replacements, and/or hardware manufacturer/reseller communications. These Customer activities are required and should be carefully coordinated with the Operational Service team.
- Network Underlay Management. Administer and monitor all underlay networking devices, access to the internet and associated services (e.g. core, distribution and access networks, firewalls, load balancers, access policies, access control lists, and VPN access gateways).
- Tenants Support & Tenants Administration. Management of tenants, tenant user accounts, tenant images, volumes, instances etc. These administrative tasks are performed through OpenStack and/or Mirantis Cloud Native Platform and/or Kubernetes Graphical User Interface or the appropriate API services for Mirantis Software. These are the responsibility of Customer’s administration team or Customer tenant administrators.
- Workloads Management. Manage workloads, deployments, setups, administration, monitoring, performance, availability, backup, and/or recovery.
- Information Security and Risk Management. Perform internal and external security scans, analysis and penetration testing on cloud platform, cloud applications, and cloud infrastructure. Manage information security risks and audits.
- Customer Premises, Equipment, & Devices
- Equipment and installation must meet the following criteria prior to any deployment of Mirantis Software:
- Hardware devices must be supported on the Canonical Ubuntu HCL;
- Hardware “bill of materials” or BoMs must meet minimum criteria on the Mirantis Standard Configuration for Subscription Services and OpsCare Plus at https://docs.mirantis.com; and
- Deployment of the Hardware infrastructure must meet criteria specified in infrastructure readiness checklist
- The management and support of the physical devices and underlay network remains the responsibility of the Customer or the Customer infrastructure service provider. These infrastructure support operations are tightly coordinated with Operational Services through disciplined Change Management. Device operations are subject to the operating characteristics of the device and the infrastructure service provider support agreement (e.g., SLA and parts replacement policy). Mirantis deploys control plane services in a redundant configuration to help maintain high availability. Mirantis will work with the Customer’s IT Operations or the Customer infrastructure service provider to identify failed hardware components and help remediate impact on cloud services.
- Mirantis will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain services availability of the cloud infrastructure components. If a hardware device is not operating properly Mirantis will engage with the Customer infrastructure service provider contact to assist with Cloud Operations Services related to the device replacement within a commercially reasonable time period. Customer is responsible for managing and maintaining all support and service agreements for such devices. Since control plane is setup in HA, Customer will, under normal circumstances, be able to operate during a control plane partial failure without affecting overall infrastructure services. In the event of multiple device failures, Mirantis will endeavor to maintain cloud services but cannot guarantee that the cloud services will be available, depending on the failure scenario.
