Once retention of the personal data is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal data or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal data and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or deidentification is possible."

" We also obtain personal data from other sources, which we often combine with personal data we collect either automatically or directly from an individual. We may receive the same categories of personal data for the same purposes as described above from the following sources and third parties: Single Sign-On : We may provide you the ability to log into our services through certain third-party accounts you maintain. When you use these single sign-on protocols to access our services, we do not receive your login credentials for the relevant third-party service. Instead, we receive tokens from the single sign-on protocol to help identify you in our system (such as by your username) and confirm you successfully authenticated through the single sign-on protocol. This information allows us to more easily provide you access to our products and services. Employers : If you interact with us or our products and services in connection with your employment, we may obtain personal data about you from your employer or another company for which you work. For example, we may obtain your contact information from your employer to allow us to communicate with you about your employer’s customer relationship with us. Other Users : We may receive your personal data from our other users. For example, a user may provide us with your contact information as a part of a referral. Social Media : When an individual interacts with us through social media networks, such as when someone follows us or shares our content on other social networks, we may receive some information about that individual that they permit the social network to share with third parties.

"The data we receive is dependent upon an individual’s privacy settings with the social network, and may include profile information, username, and any other information the individual permits the social network to share with third parties. Individuals should always review and, if necessary, adjust their privacy settings on third-party websites and social media networks and services before sharing information and/or linking or connecting them to other services. We use this information primarily to communicate directly with you, such as to send you messages about features that may be of interest to you. Advertisers, Influencers and Publishers : We may engage in advertising through third-party services. Advertisers, influencers and publishers may share personal data with us in connection with our advertising efforts. For example, we may obtain information about whether an advertisement for our non-open-source offerings led to a successful engagement with the individual who viewed it. Business Partners : We may receive your information from our business partners, such as companies that offer their products and/or services as a part of or in connection with our services. For example, certain of our products and services may allow our customers to integrate with third-party services (such as Slack). If you choose to leverage these third-party service integrations, we may receive confirmation from our business partner regarding whether you are an existing customer of their services and we may receive the same types of personal data described above through the relevant integration.

Latest stance: restricted on commercial use

Read this Section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you may seek relief from us. For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at notices@continue.dev and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If we have not been able to resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days of your first contact, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to the Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California unless we agree otherwise. If you are using the Services for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Services for non-commercial purposes: (a) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (b) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (c) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process.

Latest stance: arbitration or waiver on governing law disputes

You agree that: (a) the Services will be deemed solely based in the State of California; and (b) the Services will be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. These Terms will be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law governing these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration provision below and preempts all state laws (and laws of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Arbitration provision, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the law of the U.S. state where you live (if applicable) or the jurisdiction mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
