Privacy Policy 2018

Juniper Networks respects and is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who provide us with personal information, including personal information provided or made available by visitors to our website, www.juniper.net, and related sub-sites under this domain, as well as other websites we operate and that include a direct link to this privacy policy (our “Websites”). This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes our personal information handling practices in connection with our Websites and applies to Juniper Networks, Inc., 1133 Innovation Way, Sunnyvale, California 94089 USA and other companies in Juniper Networks, Inc.'s group (collectively, “Juniper Networks”) as data controller.

From time to time, Juniper Networks may offer products and services that involve additional privacy-related issues. Please check the applicable product page on our Websites for information on such additional privacy-related issues. If there are contradictions between this Policy and the more specific information on a product page, the product page information shall prevail.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we and the third parties we engage may combine the information we collect from you over time and across our Websites with information obtained from other sources, including third-party verification service providers. This practice helps us improve the overall accuracy and completeness of the information, and better tailor our interactions with you.

These companies, contracted by Juniper Networks to deliver requested information and services, can use this information only to the extent permitted by applicable law. You may send a request to privacy@juniper.net to inquire about your personal information.

Additionally, an individual’s personal information is not shared outside Juniper Networks, except under conditions explained below and always in accordance with applicable law:

• When we have an individual’s consent to share the information.
• For legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law.
• If sharing an individual’s information is necessary to provide a product or service that is requested. (If personal information is shared with third parties, we will only provide the information they need to deliver the product or service. Also, such companies are prohibited from using such personal information for any other purpose.)

Juniper Networks safeguards the security of the personal information and other data provided to us with appropriate physical, administrative, and technical procedures. Inside Juniper Networks, personal information is stored in secure and controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Juniper Networks, Inc., its subsidiaries, or its service providers are located. When you use our Websites, you are transferring information to the United States and other locations where Juniper Networks or its service providers operate. While we strive to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the personal information provided to us, as no transmission of information through the Internet can ever be completely secure. We urge individuals to protect their personal information when using the Internet by, for example, changing passwords often and using a combination of letters and numbers, and making sure to use a secure browser.

If we learn of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on our Websites or by sending you an email. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing or in any other form required by applicable law.

A cookie is an alphanumeric set of characters that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer so that our Websites can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

Similar technologies are tools that can be used instead of or in conjunction with cookies, such as web beacons, which are small, non-recognizable pictures downloaded to your computer when a specific site is loaded.

When you visit our Websites, we may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To help us recognize you as a unique visitor (just a number) when you return to our Website.
• To allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests.
• To avoid showing you the same advertisements repeatedly.
• To develop leads for our sales organization and our business partners and provide direct marketing communications to you if you have consented to receive such communications.
• To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users interact with our site.
• To help us improve the structure of our Websites.
• To protect the security of our Website.

Our Website uses the following categories of cookies:

• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. The cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated, and therefore, anonymous. For example, we use Adobe Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our Website. This means that when you visit our Website, your browser automatically sends certain information to Adobe. This includes, for example, the web address of the page you’re visiting and your IP address. You will find the details of how the Adobe technology collects and processes data at https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/reference/c_Privacy_Overview.html.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow a Website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

Two types of cookies may be used on our Websites: session cookies (which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site), and persistent cookies (which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer, though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).

You can use your browser settings to withdraw your consent to our use of cookies at any time and delete cookies that have already been set. The website www.allaboutcookies.org contains comprehensive information about the process of opting out on different browsers. Note that by disabling certain categories of cookies you may be prevented from accessing some features of our Websites, or certain content or functionality may not be available.

If you don’t want Adobe Analytics to be used in your browser, you can block the cookies in your cookie setting by enabling the Adobe Analytics Opt-Out Feature.

If you are in the European Union (EU) and would like to opt out of third-party cookies relating to behavioural advertising, see www.youronlinechoices.eu. Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the company or companies from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.

There are different ways to prevent tracking of online activities. Some web browsers may allow you to enable a do-not-track feature that alerts the websites you visit that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Our Websites may not recognize or react in response to do-not-track signals. At present, no universally accepted standards exist on how companies should respond to do-not-track signals. In the event a final universally accepted standard is established, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to these signals.

Juniper Networks encourages all individuals who provide personal information to Juniper Networks to keep their personal information accurate and up to date. Personal information may, in many cases, be updated by you online. You may also request to:

• Access your personal information.
• Have your personal information corrected, restricted, or deleted.
• Obtain the personal information you provide to us under a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Have us share (port) this data with/to another controller.

We will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Our Websites do not target and are not intended to attract children under the age of 13. Juniper Networks does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for personal information.

Our Websites may provide links to other third-party websites that are outside our control and not covered by this Policy. Juniper Networks is not liable for any information, content, products, services, software, or other materials available on or through an external website. The use of an external website or any information or other content found on external websites is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of such website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these third-party websites.

Juniper Networks may amend this Policy from time to time, and if we make changes that affect the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by posting a revised statement on our Websites. Where appropriate, we will notify you by additional means.

Residents of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information, for direct marketing purposes, during the preceding year. Alternatively, the law provides that, if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

Juniper Networks qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive privacy statement and provide you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

If you are a California resident and want information about how to exercise your third-party disclosure choices, please email us your request to privacy@juniper.net.
